DEFINITIONS

Karma:

Hinduism, Buddhism. action, seen as bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad, either in this life or in a reincarnation: in Hinduism one of the means of reaching Brahman.: Compare bhakti (def. 1), jnana.

Theosophy. the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person's deeds in the previous incarnation.

Soulmates:

Soulmates are just that– a mate for your soul. This is another soul, individual, or essentially another life force that you just “get”. Every relationship comes with its ups and downs and soulmates always seem to find one another no matter what. I find animals to be some of the BEST examples of soulmates out there. Isn’t it crazy how you can form a bond with another life force? I don’t find it to be a coincidence that animals and their hoomans can even look alike!

But enough with the furry friends, let's talk about hooman friends as well! Soulmates can also manifest as people (duh…)– whether super long lasting or a fleeting moment. Some friendships can prove to be some of the most profound soulmates in the course of a lifetime.

And of course…a soulmate can be a lover. We will discuss what can make a soulmate different from a twin flame further in the post. But yes, soulmates can absolutely manifest as boyfriends/girlfriends/theyfriends/husbands/wifes/partners etc. This is probably the most common and sought after kind of soulmate in mainstream culture, but I cannot express enough how soulmates can manifest in so many different ways. You know how Prince would rock out with that beautiful purple guitar? I consider that guitar to be a soulmate? After all, they shared a vibration and what is a man without his tools? As long as science says that everything is made up of tiny atoms, and each person, place, or thing contains its own vibration, we are bound to time and space by our soul’s connection. These types of connections help us move through the void of the darkness and chaos that is the universe, and we will be defined by the contracts of our souls through lifetimes and eons. (Smeeexxiiii, huh)

Twin Flames:

All twin flames are soulmates, but not all soulmates are twinflames. This is IMPERATIVE to understand when you are defining your connections for yourself. It seems to be trendy in mainstream culture to conflate the two, but these relationships have very distinct qualities and very different karmas (lessons). For the sake of starting on solid ground, let’s say that Twin Flames are like soulmates on steroids. Why? Because the contract level of Twin Flames can be an extremely heightened feeling and bring out the best and worst of ourselves so we can confront ourselves through a mirror like image, a reflection, if you will, so we can truly see ourselves through a 3rd eye perspective. Sounds like a lot of mumbo-jumbo, huh? Well, it kind of is. This may be a hot take, but it is an important one, NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR LIFETIME. I repeat, NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP IN THEIR LIFETIME. Why? Again, because this is HIGH level spiritual work that most souls just aren’t prepared to encounter. To be fair, just because it’s high level spiritual work does not equate to it being “high vibrational”. Most Twin Flame journeys deal with lower vibrations in order to raise them. So don’t confuse the work with the payoff. Twin Flames catapult one’s soul to the next dimension when it comes to spiritual growth and learning. One of the most popular modern examples of a Twin Flame relationship is…drum roll, please…Twilight (Spoiler Alert!). Bella started out as an innocent, run-of-the-mill suburban average teenage boring, blah blah blah, nothing-special kind of girl, with perhaps a proclivity towards darkness, who got entangled with a 300 year old vampire (or however old….), went on to experience the highs and very very very lows of a relationship, flirted with death, lost him, got him again, was deflowered, got pregnant, damn near lost her life trying to give birth and ultimately had to be “killed”/ “turned” by Edward– literally (or figuratively because it’s in a book…) “dying” to be born again and made anew. Essentially growing from an innocent virginal girl, to a very powerful woman & mother. Meanwhile, Jacob, who I would argue is simply a soulmate (see the difference…he was obviously the “safer” choice, but would not have sparked that dramatic of a shift in her soul) just watches from the sidelines. It’s just worth noting how traumatic that entire 4-book series and 5-part movie is from Bella’s perspective, but also from Edward’s. His darkness engulfed her willingly, like Hades to Perspephone. He wasn’t really a willing participant– until he unleashed all his passions and desires onto her. She reflected back to him a purer version of himself that was lost to the past and to his “vampirism”, while she was drawn to him to take her out of the mundane expectations of suburban living. Both parties were made to sacrifice a sacred part of themselves in order to embrace one another, but ultimately to embrace their truest form. For Bella, it was her becoming a mind-bending vampire…a FAR cry from the less than average suburban girl she started as. And for Edward, it was to bring love and happiness back into his life. He had to let go of his “I’m a monster” perspective of himself and see that although he is a lust driven, blood sucking, overly wealthy, perpetual teenager…he is…in fact, worthy of love. Awwww…now isn’t that just…romantic? To the teenage version of me…yes. To the adult version of me who has bills to pay…not so much. However, the story is a powerful one because it clearly illustrates the drama, the passion, the highs, the lows, the love, the lust, the hate, the envy in a spiritual twin flame connection.

(Tangent, but the word envy made me realize another key difference in the twin flame journey versus the soulmate or karmic journey…Envy plays a major part in twin flame relationships. There is something that you feel your twin has, that you feel like you don’t. Going back to our Twilight example, Bella envied Edward for his mystique, and his seemingly other worldly experiences. She envied his relationship to his own darkness. She found him interesting, to say the least. He was a masterful artist, a great pianist, wicked smart, and a selfless individual. Bella, at best, was a mid-level high school student. She didn’t have any talent, any hobbies, any desires. She was very boring and humdrum. She envied him for being so ridiculously complex. She was essentially a blackhole, wanting to be filled by him– sexually, physically, mentally, etc…She wanted nothing more than to dissolve into his world, inheriting his self-hatred and his life issues (like the Volutrie)...she envied his essence. On the other hand, Edward was envious of her purity. He found deep comfort in her lack-lusterness. She was beyond ordinary. So ordinary, in fact, she became extraordinary to him. To see a virginal young woman, full of life, and promise, brought him great desire. A desire he fought for like 3 books/movies. Edward, was by far, the “runner” in this scenario because he absolutely felt that his presence in Bella’s life would destroy her. And for what it’s worth, he was absolutely correct. He demolished her from the inside out– taking her virginity to ultimately making her a mother, an evolutionary act within itself. The triumph of the virgin to the whore pipeline (lol, no pun intended, but pun definitely accepted). Tangent over lol)

BUT what makes them a twin flame specific quality is the fact that you realize, you are actually the same. Edward was equally as dark as he was pure and same for Bella. There was no need to envy one another because they were both capable of all states of being. Edward and Bella are a good and bad example of twin flames, because they are the rare twin flames that stay together. So it’s beautiful they were able to find a middle ground and create a child and merge families–blah blah blah…but, that is pretty uncommon. MOST, not all, but MOST twins do not end up with a happily ever after. They usually are unable to reconcile their souls' differences. These relationships are usually to prepare one another for a high vibrational soulmate.

Karmic Soulmates:

Karmic Soulmates, are souls that have past-life unfinished business OR are meant to inspire a lesson that may or may not be resolved in this life in general. Karma/Karmic is a neutral term, so this type of relationship doesn’t have to be inherently good or inherently bad. It is a relationship that brings forth lessons so the soul can carry out the rest of its karmic mission. These relationships can play out in a romantic way, but they tend to be more on the platonic side. You can be in a Karmic relationship with your mother, brother, sister, teacher, etc. as well as a place! You can have a significant bond with a city, country, place and time. Anything that promotes the soul’s growth through support, challenges and forces you to learn, is a karmic contract/soulmate.

You are certainly meant to learn. But because of Karma being ruled by the planet Saturn, these relationships can go on for a long time, can be extremely difficult and will keep pressisting until the lesson is learned and the karma is fulfilled.

Karmics tend to have a negative connotation, particularly in the youtube tarot world, but it genuinely doesn’t have to be. In fact, I argue that all significant relationships are inherently karmic– be it clearing up Karma from a past-life, or creating new karma for the next.

Always remember, the universe is neutral. Lessons are neutral. Love/Hate is…neutral. We need not judge the nature of any relationship, including our own, if it means to help enlighten, enrich and grow our souls. We are social creatures and we don’t learn lessons about ourselves in a vacuum. Different souls, people, places, and things can trigger our growth in ways that we are incapable of imagining beforehand.

I say all that to say, as one of my favorite quotes from a family friend who passed away years ago said, “some things, you just don’t need to experience”. There will be times in life where you touch the fire and need to feel it to get burned…other times, you will know what that burning feels like and will turn away. This is the perfect system of Karma. Sometimes you will get burned, whether you “asked for it” or not, and other times, you will know that there is no need to even play with the fire to begin with.

So take everything in life with a grain of salt and a shot of whiskey! Life is supposed to be fun…even the not so fun parts! Live, laugh, love, lust & learn! Enjoy the moment.

(This is a great example of a non romantic karmic, he wrote this song for his grandmother who passed & it catapulted him to another dimension career wise)

OBSERVATIONS

Observation 1

Do not underestimate the power of Chinese Astrology

Hear. Me. Out. I haven’t found a more accurate astrology for relationships than Chinese astrology. Crazy, I know. But Chinese Astrology is extremely straightforward. Screw the birth times, you just need a month and year and you’ve got all you need. I always joke that I exclusively date through Chinese Astrology, but I am seriously only half kidding (lol). I kid you not, whenever I study my relationships through this particular astrological lens, I am genuinely AWE STRUCK with how uncannily accurate it is. Try it! Next time you find yourself dating, or even checking the compatibility with your current mate, read a few articles and see how it lines up for you. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I manifest partners through their Chinese zodiac because I am so passionate about it! It hasn’t let me down yet!

***Note: I don’t have this as an official observation because it’s not astrologically based, but look into numerology as well when studying compatibility! It is VERY insightful.

Observation 2

Usually Twin Flames/Soulmates have Gemini placements somewhere in their personal planets or ascendent

So this take may not sit well with everyone, because you may feel limited in the types of soulmates you can encounter if you don’t have any Gemini placements. Fret not, keep reading, you may fit in another category.

I am not saying that this is the LAW, I am saying this simply is something I have noticed when studying what I consider twin flame relationships. In most Twin Flame/Soulmate relationships, the Zodiac sign of the twin is usually present for BOTH individuals/souls. The psychic nature of Gemini makes it very easy to just “get” someone, and feel as if you’ve known them for years. Have you ever heard two Geminis talk to one another? It can be hard to keep up with them!

Soooooo…..I feel the same to be true when it comes to these kinds of intense relationships.

It is also worth noting that Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Mercury/Hermes in Greek Mythology is the only God that can travel between Mt. Olympus (Heaven, so to speak) and The Underworld (Hell, if you will). I think this is important because it demonstrates why Gemini placements in particular can experience a love of such depth. It can go into the pits of hell and to the glories of heaven with ease, making it one of the most valuable placements for a twin flame relationship.

Another note is, in traditional tarot, The Lovers card is depicted by the twins. I feel this is a significant indicator of a deep soulmate connection because of the telepathy and how intertwined lovers/gemini energy can be. The inherent closeness of these soulmates is intrinsic to closeness that is required for any level soulmate/twinflame. Nonverbal communication can play a major role in these types of connections. As chatty as Geminis can be, it’s what they don’t say that ACTUALLY matters. Only another Gemini person would understand that.

Now, Virgo is also ruled by Mercury, but Venus is in detriment in the sign of Virgo. I don’t think Virgo fits this description as well, because Virgo is inherently about solitude, represented by The Hermit in traditional tarot, making it more about virginity/purity than about a 3D twin flame physical connection. To be honest, I just haven’t witnessed it as much when dissecting charts, but I will study it more and perhaps my opinion will change. But as of right now, I don’t believe Virgo placements depict as strong of a connection as Gemini in this case. Feel free to prove me wrong! I’m always open.

Back to Geminis…It seems so weird that Gemini energy would be the ones who attract such intense relationships because they seem so, unloving…but one of my favorite Gemini on Gemini relationships is Courtney Love (Gemini Sun & Moon) and Kurt Cobain (Gemini Moon). Ooof. OOOF. But it was like they had their own language and lived in their own world. Now, that relationship ended up in tragedy…but hey…they had some “fun” moments. They were so similar and too similar at the same time, that it fueled an outwardly bizarre connection, but to them it made perfect sense. This is the power that a double gemini connection can have. Minus to tragedy part.

Observation 3

Twin Flames almost always have the SAME zodiac placements or DIRECT OPPOSITE zodiac placements.

This rule, without fail, is one of the most important and powerful observations that I have come across. If you are checking the zodiac for twin flame compatibility, I will almost say YOU MUST have the same or opposite placements in the big three (rising, sun, moon) and/or Venus and Mars.

This can be ANY SIGN in ANY HOUSE.

For example: You have Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Cancer, Rising in Sagittarius…Your twin could have Sun in Virgo, Moon in Taurus, Rising in Aries. Because the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs, you could experience a twin flame relationship.

Another example: You have Sun in Gemini, Moon in Aquarius, Rising in Pisces…Your twin could have Sun in Libra, Moon in Leo, Rising in Aquarius. Because the Moon and Rising are in the same sign, you could experience a twin flame relationship.

You can mix and match, as long as something mixes and other things matches (lol). I’ve seen so many charts of couples that share placements or have opposite placements and immediately I go “uh! Twin Flame!”.

I think this is due to the illicit push and pull nature/mirroring nature of Twin Flame relationships.

This is where “real” science comes in. All energy has an action and a reaction to create equilibrium. This is why this particular observation is so important. As I’ve stated from the beginning, when it comes to Twin Flame relationships, they are meant to teach, expand, challenge and heal, so it makes sense that you would be met with the opposite force and attract one another OR the same force and repel one another. (Let’s talk physics…think magnets…two positives and two negatives repel, but a negative and a positive attract…woot woot! Call me Bill Nye biiisshhhessss) The entire effect is to make your soul ebb and flow so it can reach a state of neutrality. You want someone to challenge your opinions and your sense of self so you can know what/ who you are. If you’ve never had a mirror, how do you know what you look like? Again, the same is true when someone is so similar to you. You may look at them and go “wow, is this how I come off?”. Just to reemphasis, I don’t want this to come across as an inherently negative thing, it doesn’t have to be. It just usually requires a highly developed spiritual understanding to see that. This particular alignment can give the “can’t live with em, can’t live without em” feeling.

If you have complementary placements, like your Sun is in Capricorn and your partner has their Moon in Taurus, this may be more of an indication of a soulmate connection. The same can be true if you are both air/air or air/fire or water/water or water/earth.

Now, another way you can see it is if you have opposing elements. But, I don’t think it reads as strong as actual zodiac signs.

Just to be clear, all my examples thus far have been using Sun, Moon and Rising, but this trick can extend to Mars and Venus. So let’s say you have Venus in Cancer and your partner has Mars in Capricorn…it counts!

Observation 4

For long-term compatibility, your partner’s Venus will be the same as one of your placements in your big three or your venus– ESPECIALLY WOMAN in Heteronormative connections or Males in same-sex relationships.

Trigger warning for those who are sensitive about pronouns…please use your imagination. I am talking about ANCIENT astrology, so it is rooted in traditional gender norms. You may disagree, that is fine, no judgment, but for the sake of this observation, you can bear with me…or ignore it. The choice is yours!

Now, I am talking about a man’s Venus placement here. In traditional astrology, Venus indicates the man’s wife. So if your “man” has Venus in Pisces, you may have Pisces Sun, Moon, Rising OR Venus/any other water placements. This would make you complementary. In fact, I would say if his Venus placement aligns with your chart, other placements in the chart won’t matter as much.

For example, You are a Gemini Sun, Libra Moon, Aquarius Rising. If your partner is a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon, Scorpio Rising, BUT their Venus is in Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra…you’re in luck! From the big three, it may seem as if you are completely incompatible, but low and behold, your partner loves what you are putting down, so the “differences” may not be so different after all.

Venus is EXTREMELY important to long-term relationships. So is the 7th house. I won’t go down that rabbit hole for this particular post, but keep that in the back of your mind.

These connections may not be as intense as Twin Flame, but this is certainly a great indication for a wonderful connection. Let me say, like I said in the beginning, not every soul needs to experience a twin flame connection for its evolution. If you are wanting something more grounded, then follow this rule of thumb when checking initial compatibility with a partner.

BONUS: If your person’s Venus falls in your first house, this is a great indication of producing love at first sight! Now…other placements matter, obviously, but this is an extremely powerful indication of strong, immediate, attraction.

Side Note: For Women, you would look at your Jupiter placement for compatibility with your “husband”! I find that you can also use this rule for Mars when it comes to “boyfriends” as well.

Observation 5

Synastry and Overlays Matter!!!!!!!

Definitions:

Synastry- When comparing two natal charts, this calculates the planetary alignment between two individuals.

Examples- Mars conjunct Venus or Sun trine Saturn

Overlay- When comparing two natal charts, this calculates how a person’s planets fall into another person’s house system.

Examples- Person A’s Jupiter is in Person B’s 8th House. Or Person A Venus sits in Person B’s First House.

(if these are new concepts to you, I HIGHLY suggest you do some research. Tumblr has some wonderful posts dedicated to these practices that are highly informative. I would love to do posts concerning synastry and overlays in the future!)

Okay, this may be the MOST important observation, but it is more advanced than Sun/Moon/Rising/Venus compatibility. This requires you to have knowledge of the WHOLE HOUSE system (sorry, western astrology) and deep comprehension of planets, conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares and aaaaallll that good stuff.

My sister and I LOVE synastry and overlays. It really puts entire relationships into context to see how your chart lines up and what underlying energies you’re dealing with, regardless of the actual placements. How the planets react to one another and how those planets show up in your chart is MUY IMPORTANTE! Chances are, if you’ve read these other rules and they haven’t resonated with you, I guarantee, you’ve had a relationship that is based more on planetary alignment than zodiac compatibility.

(Just to be clear…this is why I started off with Chinese astrology…Chinese astrology is INSANELY accurate and doesn’t require nearly as much study as what I am saying here. DO NOT underestimate the power of Chinese astrology when it comes to compatibility. I love how accurate it is with very little information.)

With this rule, you don’t need birth times, but my goodness do they make an impact when doing overlays. If you don’t have accurate birth times, always remember you can do it off the moon chart, which essentially makes the moon the ascendent sign. Just know, for an accurate overlay, you will need to use the moon sign for BOTH charts. It will not be as accurate if you use your birth chart with an accurate birth time and overlay to their moon sign. It isn’t “wrong” per say, it just isn’t nearly as precise. You want to use the same charts. Moon charts overlay one another and natal charts overlay one another. If you have both birth times, then do both! Go wild! The more the merrier!

Now, I am not going to go in depth about what these two practices mean, because that’s an entire post within itself and I wanted to keep this one “short and sweet”. But I will say, for a rule of thumb, if you have strong trines, oppositions, and conjunctions with a person, that is an indicator of a twin flame, soulmate, and karmic connection. If you have Saturn, Pluto, Venus, Neptune and Mars with low orbs, this can indicate a soul contract/intense connection. If yours or their placements sit in your 1st/7th/8th/12th house, this can be a VERY strong indication of a powerful & spiritual connection. There are plenty of ways this can be mixed and matched. The relationship between two charts is so important, they are a study within themselves. I am only scratching the surface here, so if you are a novice, again, I cannot express enough how exciting it is to do some digging when it comes to this stuff in relationships.

There are plenty of free synastry calculators online, so please use them as a resource– even if you don’t understand the calculations, it is important to see the results. These placements can truly unlock a much deeper understanding of your relationships that you just won’t get when it comes to looking solely at your charts at face value!

Let me know if you’d like me to discuss these topics further moving forward! You know I love to spread the knowledge, and there is just something so sexy about synastry and overlays…it’s honestly one of my favorite parts about Vedic astrology!

Bonus: North Node/Rahu and South Node/Ketu can play a VITAL role when determining what kind of karmic relationship you are in.

POP QUIZ

Just kidding, there is no test, because I’m too lazy to grade anything, BUT here is an example of what I’m talking about when combining the previous observations. I am not doing a super deep dive, but I want you to see how everything overlaps and intersects.

Let’s use Rihanna and ASAP Rocky as an example. Their connection hits on a few different cylinders. Rihanna is an Aquarius Sun and ASAP Rocky has his Venus in Leo. Why does this matter? Although Rihanna is an opposite, so Sun opposition Venus, which is twin flame-y, she is a FAMOUS, CREATIVE, ENTERTAINER and MUSE…this is ALL dealing of the 5th House/Leo energy, so it make sense…for now…as to why he would be attracted to her. She has No Leo placements in her big three, but because it’s the opposite, we go to that push-pull magnet thing I was talking about earlier. As far as how their relationship will play out long-term, I have ZERO idea, but I can say their attraction to one another is very real, but it will probably be volatile at times because of the Sun Venus Opposition. I’m sure her ego will cause difficulties to his love language, BUT he may be able to take it, because his Venus is ruled by the Sun. See how layered and complex it can be? And we are just looking at one placement. They work because he enjoys the attention that she brings (not in a vampire way, just in a “wow, isn’t my lady so cool” kind of way) and he allows her to shine without dimming her light, while she enjoys the fawning that he gives her. He loves that his partner is larger than life and Rihanna is larger than life because…well…she’s Rihanna. She is able to appreciate him, because at this point in time, he doens’t in any way seem like he is trying to compete with her. He is a confident person who can stand beside and behind such a force, BECAUSE he has such a strong Venus placement.***

Relationships aren’t black and white. These are just observations and rules/patterns that I have found to be true. But as you’ll see, as I have presented, some things will contradict, some things won't make sense, what makes sense for one chart doesn’t make sense for another. Etc… This is such a fun topic because it really is like a puzzle. And it really is a case by case basis. The more in depth you can look at a chart, the more knowledge you can walk away with.

FINAL THOUGHTS/MINI RANT

Oof….okay, what a ride! (Can you believe I had the intention of this being a short post. HA!) I hope that you were able to take something away from this post and learn something new! As you can see…there is a very intricate science behind how soulmates/karmics and twin flames work. It is so much deeper than saying “oh wow, that’s my twin flame”...like…maybe? I feel mainstream spirituality/astrology/tarot has taken that phrase and run with it. And saying “if you identify as twin flames then you are” is misleading. It really isn’t something you “identify” with. They either are or are not your twin flame. There isn’t an in between. It is not ambiguous and it can be fact checked. Also, twin flame makes it seem like you can only have one…I don’t think that’s the case. I think you meet as many “twins”/mirrors/soulmates/karmics as you need until your soul learns the lesson. Have you ever felt like you just keep meeting the same person over and over and over again? That’s because we are talking about soul recognition and not necessarily 3D body recognition.

You may be attracting different “people”, but you could be attracting the same “spirit”. So don’t always get so hung up on a particular person. TRUST ME BABES, if there is unfinished business, that same energy will come back around over and over and over and over again until you geeeetttt ittttt.

Another note is, if you’re like me, and you have exalted Venus in Pisces conjunct Ketu…then every relationship feels twin-flame-y. Why? Because I have my relationship planet tightly conjunct my south node, so I am on a spiritual journey on my own when it comes to relationships…my twin flame is most likely…Jesus Christ…sooooooo……yeah. (I kid, I kid, but not really. My placement can indicate being a nun…and trust me, after dealing with the crap I’ve had to put up with when it comes to these men folks, I have absolutely considered giving my body to God…cuz these men just don’t do right…lol…anyways…) Men and relationships have become my life’s work…which is why I am here sharing this information with you today. Each relationship is very nuanced but all have similar themes.

I am very much into tarot and astrology and all the things, but I do feel like there is a fad going around about this twin flame business. And as much as I enjoy a tarot reading popping up on my tiktok talking about my “twin”, I am always acutely aware that it can be a mislabeling and inspire people to put up with all kinds of crap for the sake of the label. If you’re going to be in a shxtty relationship, then be in a shxtty relationship, but don’t misuse the word. Twin Flame does not automatically translate to terrible, explosive, runner-chaser relationships and it does not excuse poor behavior. There is a difference between someone who is making mistakes because they are trying to learn and someone who is taking advantage of someone who won’t stand up for themselves. Sometimes, someone you like, just doesn't like you and your ego in tandem with your fear of rejection/abandonment is preventing you from actually growing and pursuing a relationship that would benefit and promote your soul’s growth. It’s almost like getting stuck on level one of a video game. Until you beat that internal need for validation from one specific person/soul…you’ll never get to play the next part of the game. Now…this isn’t me saying that soulmate/twin flame/karmic relationships don’t have their downsides, but I am saying, at least know the kind of energies you’re dealing with before you go putting pressure on a presumably less evolved/knowledgeable individual expecting them to “challenge your soul” and you haven’t even challenged yourself. This whole twin flame ordeal is like handing a toddler some markers and leaving them alone in a room full of white walls– it is bound to get messy. Soulmates are a BEAUTIFUL thing. And very rarely, I mean VERY rarely can a twin flame move into a more relaxed “soulmate” relationship. It is not impossible, but the amount of effort that is required to transcend, is unbelievable. BOTH PARTIES have to be spiritually mature and aware to do the work. This connection is NOT one sided…BOTH individuals are required to learn, grow and HEAL. Mind you, healing is the main reason for these kinds of relationships. There is no way to heal when your relationships keep pouring salt into an open wound. People can get caught up with and hang on to people for far too long because of a mislabeling. It is equivalent to a misdiagnosis from a medical doctor. Sure, you may have a cold, but if they misdiagnose you with a broken leg…are you receiving the right treatment? NO! And now you won’t heal properly! TO BE CLEAR…I believe in fate– so if you meet someone and you have an extraordinarily intense connection, you probably fit one or more of these rules and THAT IS why I am making this post. I want you to do the research for your own sanity so you can express FREE-WILL in whether you want to walk down that path or not with a certain individual– while also knowing the other person has free-will too. No label, or synastry, or overlay, or Chinese compatibility will change the fact that you may be fated to meet someone, but free-will may take you down different paths.

On another, equally important note…It is also possible to end up and stay with the wrong person. It is! You may look at a chart and follow some of these patterns and realize, you have NO BUSINESS with that individual. But people end up with the wrong people all the time. People have wasted LIFETIMES with someone they had no business with. But their ego decided they were a “soulmate” or a “twin flame” or they aren’t “healed”/spiritually awaken enough to realize they can do better…and low and behold…they were wrong and they wasted precious time. Now they’re miserable, can’t figure out why, and they end walking straight past a real soulmate in a supermarket…unable to even recognize them because they are so bogged down and clouded in their unhealed ego and a bad relationship that has cut them so far off from their own divinity, they can’t recognize love if it smacked them in the face. DON’T LET THAT BE YOU!

THERE ARE LEVELS TO RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!! Not every soulmate will be as intense as the next. Not every boyfriend/girlfriend will be as compatible as the last. Love is a game of musical chairs. There is movement, there is stillness, seats get taken away, and eventually, there is a winner. And babe, it will ALWAYS be you. You will always be the last one standing when it comes to relationships because you have free-will. (Let’s not forget the importance of the 1st House/7th House axis. You vs Relationships. It is as equally you as it is them.) You are bound by nothing. You are bound to no one. You are love. You are light. If you do the work, you may find a wonderful, loving, long-lasting relationship full of romance, but this is not guaranteed. You AND your partner have to choose each other every single day. The best relationships require discipline, work, forgiveness, “God”/some higher power, and love– no matter who you cross paths with in this life…you have to do this for yourself first and foremost. Alas, if you are too caught up in people who won’t meet you in the 3D, let alone the 5D…you will always fall flat of what you are looking for. The chair will always be ripped from under you when the music stops. Always. All of this is irrelevant if it doesn’t come from within. And this is why I want to express it one last time…NOT EVERYONE WILL EXPERIENCE A TWIN FLAME CONNECTION. You don’t understand how much you have to overcome rejection, overcome fear, overcome lust, desire, ego ALL the things, to open yourself up enough to join forces with another soul and try to tackle life together. Your ultimate lover is not your savior– they are your equal. You have to save yourself. You are not your ultimate lover’s savior. THEY have to save themselves. You ain’t super(wo)man and they aren’t either. Your partner has to be willing to do the same work…THAT’S what makes them a twin. It is not because they are treating you like shxt, babes…

Learn the lessons. Do the work. Love every bit of the journey…especially the crappy parts, because THAT’S what will make it all worth it in the end and you’ll enjoy the beautiful parts as much as the Greek Gods enjoy sweet nectar and ambrosia.

Why is this important to differentiate? Why now?

Now, one thing is for sure…and two things for certain, I am psychic and I have seen in my crystal ball that there is heavy energy of union in the atmosphere. I am hoping that whoever stumbles upon this post, is on the path of self-discovery which ultimately leads to liberation because not all union is good union. (I think covid brought in a lot of bad unions for example…but that is another topic for another day). The days are getting darker, and the evil forces are getting stronger (am I being dramatic enough for ya?) so it is important to know exactly what we are all up against. Only few are chosen to be in relationships that are led by light. There is so much overwhelming darkness now and I don’t want anyone that I am influencing to fall into the trap. There is potential for WONDERFUL, POWERFUL, SEXY, LOVING, LONG-LASTING & HIGHLY SPIRITUAL unions right now. But you may be tempted by something that seems beautiful and it is nothing of the sort. So please, do your research. Love with all your heart. Let spirit lead you! Let love find you, there is no need to seek it out! Take calculated risk! Open up your heart chakra! But ultimately, always be mindful of the wolves in sheep's clothing.

Ciao ✌🏾

ON WITH THE SHOW 💋

✨Venus in the First House

Mulan - Mulan

“To save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China's greatest heroines in the process.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the First House is all about honing masculinity & bringing out the masculinity in your partner. As a Venus in the First House native, you are courageous, adventurous & exceptionally hard to tame. Like Mulan, you may refuse to conform to traditional gender roles & you are not afraid to break any rules doing so. You will is strong & you will not be put out in a box. You are brave & force your lover’s/partners to do the same!

The First House is traditionally ruled by Mars & is home to Aries. The First house is also associated with the body, so to have Venus here means that you are a natural beauty (whether you think so or not) & can easily attract others towards you. This could make you quite promiscuous in the eyes of some, but daring & adventurous to others! You do you, boo! With time, you can really be in control of you sexuality— *cough cough*— I mean, negotiation skills. Because people tend to flow in & out of your life so easily, you learn a lot about human nature & what drives people’s desires. You of all combinations, in my opinion, can bring desire (Mars/1H/Aries) & Beauty (Venus) together in an extremely powerful way! (I believe Rihanna has Venus in the 1H as well…hard to do examples w houses bc birth times are funky)

When Mulan’s village was on the brink of war, her aging father was called to action. Although a great warrior in the past, Mulan knew that in his poor health, it would be unlikely for him to make it through battle. After FAILING her etiquette classes to be eligible for marriage (she’s a tomboy through & through), she disguised herself as her father & off she went to train for war. A bit awkward & quite goofy, she was seen as a disappointment to the General of the war. When the leader was about to send her home, she put on a face of determination & trained all night, making sure that she was strong enough to stay and fight. She became the first warrior, male or female, to complete a difficult challenge of strength! This highlights that 1H/Aries energy! She was not going to be defeated by anyone & wasn’t going to be told that she could not do something. If anything, the word “no” is what motivated her to dig her heels in! You could carry this same type of energy!

An additional observation I have w this placement/film is how Mulan was forced to hide her body because it would have given her true identity away. At times with this placement, you may feel the need to hide your body away because you feel it could attract unwanted attention in some way. Always do what you’re comfortable with, but never hide your body out of shame! Be comfortable! I’m a firm believer in, “if you got it, FLAUNT it!” You could fall on either extreme of this spectrum. You could be an exhibitionist at times, or very reserved.

By the end of the film, Mulan is the bravest of them all, after her identity is revealed, she is exiled from the military, but manages to still put her life on the life to finish the war, finally defeating the Huns & bringing peace to her town!

With Venus in the 1H/Aries, you understand more than others, that war brings peace. If you don’t stand up for what you believe in & overpower your bullies, then you will never find a solution or be taken seriously. Not you! You call out injustice, even if it means ruffling some feathers. You stand up for what you believe is right! Like Mulan, you are not afraid to get down & dirty if you have to in oder to bring back peace to your life & those around you. The best part is, you don’t have to do anything but walk in a room for people to notice this about you! It’s just your aura.

Mulan was very active, much like yourself. She could hardly sit still when it came to doing her training & much preferred to be out on the battle field with “the boys”. In a sense, she actually HID behind masculinity in order to be accepted. If you aren’t the “beauty queen” trope, you could easily fall into the tomboy trope. EVEN SO, even if you are more masculine presenting, the right person will always see through your front & see the beauty & divinely feminine energy you truly possess. At the end of the day, what’s more womanly than protecting your aging father from certain death? What’s braver than putting your life on the line for someone that you love and care about? THIS is what Venus in the First House is all about!

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus 1H/Venus in Aries, they expect their lovers to be free and spontaneous! They love a great chase, but don’t want to chase too long. This lover will require constant stimulation, but if you manage to keep their attention, you have fierce undying love & loyalty! Mars is the soldier of the planets…this lover will go to war for you & may expect the same in return. Like Captain/General Li Shang (voiced by BD Wong, the Law & order dude, I had NO idea, how cool), he first saw Mulan as the weakest & most vulnerable in the pack. Shang was a tough lover to crack. Very one-track, his only focus was to win. This may be something you notice in your lovers/partners. All in all, because of Mulan’s hard work, dedication, discipline & ultimate show of bravery…he ended falling deeply in love with her. (Awwwwwwwwwwww…..) And they lived happily ever after. Shang was forced to change his entire perception of woman in the process, because Mulan truly gave him a run for his money.

For Her: If you have Venus in the First House/Aries, you are meant to bring out the fierceness in your lovers. Your contract is to literally “make a man” out of your partners. You will either attract SUPER masculine men, who love your feistiness & want the challenge, OR you’ll attract more feminine men who could feel intimidated by you & feel the need to be in competition w you because you stand so firmly on your own two feet! With the 1H & Aries being Mars ruled, you could find yourself in competition with you lovers— not the diplomatic kind of relationship we talked about before. You HAVE to be w the man in charge! You need, crave & desire that Big D Energy…because honestly, you caring it yourself. No balls required. And if you date anything less than that, you will trigger the men you attract/attracted to you to WANT to be in charge. You force them to realize they are “weak” in some aspects of their lives. They will either respond w challenging themselves to step up to the plate OR the will get left behind, because 1H/Aries energy waits for NO ONE.

What You Bring to the Table: Pure masculine power, drive & bravery!

How to Negotiate: Your power move will always be “I can walk away & stand on my own at ANY time”. You are more than willing to walk out from any negotiating table if you feel your needs are not being met or your worth is not being valued. You encourage partners to tap into their own masculinity in ways they may have never done before— truly “making a man” out of people. Your best tactic to challenge the status quo & not settle for anything less than ideal. It’s also very powerful that you are not afraid to break the rules if it means standing up for what you believe in. This makes you quite the force to be reckoned with as you develope relationships & business deals! (Use this gift wisely). Like Mulan, you will not be confined to what society says is “womanhood”, you attract the strongest & the best of men, & you look bloody good doing it! Camo or lipstick, you are down for the cause!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To use your own inner strength to bring out the strength in others.

✨Venus in the Second House

Aurora - Sleeping Beauty

“After being snubbed by the royal family, a malevolent fairy places a curse on a princess which only a prince can break, along with the help of three good fairies.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Second House is all about luxury, beauty, arts & the sensual pleasures of life. Venus is more than comfortable here, being as Venus is the traditional ruler of the 2H & Taurus, making this placement extremely feminine. As a Venus in the 2H native, you have refined taste & beauty, great “taste” in food & culture & truly have the power to be a great homemaker in a beautiful home! However, like Aurora, your beauty can become a source of envy & jealousy, leaving you in a prison of designer bags & golden ceilings.

The Second house is associated w possessions, owning & tradition. If you are a 2H native, tradition could be very important to you. (Think religion, cultural obligations etc…) Education could have also been a huge emphasis as you were growing up & you were most likely expected to keep up certain appearances. You may have been born into some luxury or higher class family. If not, you could aspire to obtain wealth later in life— specifically through marriage. No one can compete w you when it comes to setting the standards of beauty trends & cultural influences. You believe in and appreciate the classics— like the little black dress or the power of red lipstick. You are like Aphrodite in the flesh when people grace your presence. You stand out, but as stated earlier, you are more likely to stay in the home & draw your lovers towards you, opposed to chasing after them yourself.

Your beauty is quite natural! Sure, you could wear make-up & expensive clothing, but you posses a genuine timeless beauty that doesn’t really need much enhancement.

Aurora, born a princess, had a curse placed on her out of jealousy & spite. Her beauty was known throughout the land, & her Prince Charming fought a DRAGON to be with her because she was such a jaw-dropping beauty! You have this gift! I want to draw the parallels that Tauruses are known to love sleeping…a sensual pleasure, of course…& how it ends up working in Aurora’s favor! This type of Venusian energy is so secure in itself, it really doesn’t have to do much to attract interested lovers. This is Venus in its most natural feminine form. In my opinion, this is one of the best placements for Venus, aspects willing— as long as you don’t fall into the trap of over identifying w your beauty or allowing others to let your beauty dehumanize you. (I know, I know, that’s literally all I’m taking about in this post, but beauty fades, it’s character that remains forever.) Pretty privilege is a privilege, so be sure to use it wisely & capitalize while you can!

Lastly, I want to draw emphasis to the kiss of true love that breaks the curse. To kiss someone is one of the sensual pleasures 2H Venus is privy too. Essentially, in order to get Aurora out of this deep sleep, all of her senses had to be invigorated by true love’s kiss. If this isn’t 2H romance, I don’t know what is! You know how to stimulate your lover’s & your lover’s know how to stimulate you. Plus, you’re probably a great kisser. This is a sweet deal for everyone involved if you ask me.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 2H/Taurus, they expect their lover’s to be trophy wives. Because the 2H controls owning, you guessed it, this placement can teeter on the verge of this man seeing their partner as more of a possession & object rather than a person. A more positive take is that, this Prince Charming wants everyone to know that in order to get their partner, they had to have fought hard and/or worked hard to obtain such a decadent beauty. They need to feel as if their lover is a prize after all their hard work & efforts. This lover will require you to keep up appearances & play to more traditional gender roles. (If you are not this type of girl, then stay away from this type of man. 2H/Taurus are NOTORIOUSLY stubborn…so don’t think you’ll be able to convince them otherwise, just my warning.) Prince Phillip was enamored w Aurora the MOMENT he laid eyes on her. He was determined to get to her no matter how long & how hard he had to fight to win her hand in marriage— making him a true King. This man, literally fought a Dragon witch lady w a sword, just so he could kiss her. How romantic! I would love for a man to fight a dragon to the death for me…that’s real love right there— Aurora & her beauty being the ultimate prize!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 2H/Taurus, you are meant to bring out the sophistication & intrigue in your lovers. As stated above, you ARE a catch. In a way, you are a status symbol. The partners you attract are meant to work for your beauty & charm. Your hand in marriage or even in dating, doesn’t come free or easily. You are more likely to end up in long-term commitments & understand the importance of the saying “slow & steady wins the race”. You believe love can take time & like Aurora, you don’t mind waiting for your Prince Phillip to come & rescue you from the wickedness of the world, all while taking a nice long nap. Let him do all the hard work. You want to feel protected by your partners due to your extremely feminine energy. You are meant to bring out courage & worthiness in your lovers more than anything else & in return you give them stability & status.

What You Bring to the Table: Beauty, grace, class & status. You turn Princes to Kings!

How to Negotiate: Honestly, you could sleep through the negotiation process…lol. In all seriousness, your presence & how you grew up, or how you carry yourself as an adult, is really enough to put you in the princess category. Your beauty, inner & outer, is enough to make lovers want to jump the broom as soon as they lay eyes on you. Your power is patience. You will sit at the table, no matter how long it takes, until you have the contract/commitment you are looking for. You know that if someone really wants to prove their love to you, that could take time. Your lovers will expect nothing but the best from you & you will expect to sit in the lap of luxury, no questions asked.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To use your outer & inner beauty to secure long-term stability & status.

✨Venus in the Third House

Rapunzel - Tangled

“The magically long-haired Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but now that a runaway thief has stumbled upon her, she is about to discover the world for the first time, and who she really is” — Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Third House is all about learning & exploration. As a Venus in the 3H native, you are curious & quite adventurous. You always carry a child-like wonder towards the world & aren’t afraid of getting into trouble or challenging gender norms. This is a masculine energy for Venus, so love happens to be more cerebral than lovey dovey in the 3H. This is not inherently a bad thing, but there is always a certain level of detachment when it comes to your love affairs & business contracts. You could find yourself flying from lover to lover, job to job, having a “I’m here for a good time, not a long time” kind of vibe. Own it! You love learning, reading, taking in information & are usually quite talkative. You may have a gift for writing, speaking or acting!

Rapunzel was locked away in a castle for years & years & years, her only company being her adoptive (or abductive) mother. She learned how to entertain herself, but grew bored of being up in that ivory tower all alone. Once her Prince Charming made an appearance, she was off to the races along side him to explore the world her mother had kept her from! Although you may not have been locked in an ivory tower your whole life, let’s hope not…yikes…you share that same wonder of the world as Rapunzel! You are daring & devious. Knowledgeable, but always yearning for more. You may never really grow out of child-like naivety, because fully maturing is boring! Why grow up, when you could be a kid forever?! (If I wasn’t focused on Disney Princesses, Peter Pan would be the perfect Disney character to demonstrate 3H/Gemini energy. Even Captain Hook was running away from that clock, a metaphor for aging). Like Rapunzel, sometimes this can work against you. You may find yourself attracting people & partners that perpetually treat you like a child— shielding you away from other things in life. When it comes to this particular house placement— I think the 3H/9H or Gemini/Sagittarius axis is hard to ignore. This is the relationship of the student/teacher dynamic. All of your real connections are meant to be an exchange of knowledge & culture. You show up more as the student, but a good teacher is always a greater student, never ceasing to learning. So when it comes to this axis in particular, it has quite a unique exchange of energy & dynamic. At times, Repunzel’s childishness proved to be quite crafty & although unpredictable, quite useful when needed. Her Prince had no choice but to watch & learn as her quick-wittedness proved to be most successful in times of need. In the end, her Prince Charming (well, conman, in this case) fell in love with her love for exploration. This Venus placement is about overall adventure & a somewhat daring relationship! We Stan a good Bonnie & Clyde style relationship w this Venus house placement! Thick as thieves, but who is thieving who is always the question w tricky 3H/Gemini.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 3H/Gemini, they crave constant stimulation. Like 1H/Aries, this partner refuses to be bored & have no issue walking away if they become so. They expect their partner’s to explore the world w them & be as social & charismatic as they are. They are HIGHLY attracted to intelligence, usually over physical appearance & don’t take kindly to shallow individuals stuck in the material world. They don’t expect their partner’s to be experts in any given subject, but they love, adore & revere a lover who is always willing to learn & keep up with conversation. Flynn Ryder is charming, likable, witty, & oh yeah...a trickster bandit thief. Perfect example of a male Venus in the 3H/Gemini. Repunzel took him captive & forced him to guide her through the world. In this case, Ryder is acting like a teacher to a fresh soul. He’s been jaded to the world around him while she’s just now seeing the world for the first time! This dynamic is invigorating to him! This is essential to any partner w this placement— they have to feel like their life experiences are valued & never-ending. This placement is also very likely to have an age gap within their long-term connection. Although not the most responsible or stable of partners, it’s a requirement for their relationships to be spontaneous & they have to learn a thing or two along the way. If a lover can’t offer them that, they need not apply.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 3H/Gemini, you are meant to bring out the inquisitive & care-free side of your lovers. You are always either teaching them new things about the world, or introducing them to interesting places, peoples or things! There is a natural charm in you demeanor, & no matter how you look, once people hear you speak or share your ideas, wise people will want to listen. You also challenge your partners to push the boundaries outside of their comfort zone. Following the 2H/Taurus, which is ALL abut the comfort zone, you, like Repunzel, are meant to break away from the familiar & live outside the bounds of expectations, bringing your partners along for the ride! You could find yourself in all kinds of “entanglements” w different genders, classes & backgrounds. You are, like your fellow Air sign, Aquarius, never follow love w you heart, you follow it w your mind & intellect. This can lead to some once in a lifetime adventures. You are one of the more difficult placements to pin down, but to the right & wisest lover, you’ll make an excellent companion though this wild ride we call life— always making the most out of any situation, using nothing more than the power of your voice & mind. Sexy!

What You Bring to the Table: Wit, Intellect, Charisma Child-like Wonder & Adventure!

How to Negotiate: You, of all placements, have to be careful not to be the trickster because you are the ultimate negotiator. Think of a child & how unreasonable they can be at times! That’s you! Hehe, all jokes aside. You understand the value of time & what you will & won’t do. You’re willing to try almost anything once, but if it’s not for you, no one can get you a second time! There is magic in this when you show up to the table. You can leverage your quick mindedness & ability to adapt in any situation— almost as if you were a shapeshifter. If they can keep you, who wouldn’t want you on their team?!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To inspire & encourage your partners to always be a student of life & seek out adventure, no matter what age!

✨Venus in the Fourth House

Snow White - Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs

“Exiled into the dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother, a princess is rescued by seven dwarf miners who make her part of their household.” — Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Fourth House is all about motherly quality & tranquil happiness in the home. As a Venus in the 4H native, you are very nurturing when it comes to your love affairs &/or could have a business in home-care. You prefer to have a more traditional home life & could easily find joy in homemaking— cooking, cleaning, & caring for family members. This usually comes from a space of genuine love & duty (your opposite sign in Capricorn of course!). Quite soft in nature, you woo your lovers w an understated demeanor & give off a “girl next door”…or “M.I.L.F.” vibe if you’re already a mom. One thing that can come as a draw back to this Venus placement, is the need for constant validation, making you a lover that is hard to please. This is because you give so much to your partners, friends & family, you can feel very deeply when that love is not returned & sadly, drained…but I always say…your placement, is your placement. There are 11 other ways people can view love/relationships/business. Always be sure to remember that your way is not the only way to show affection. Regardless, this can be a very comfortable place for Venus because it is back in a feminine sign.

Snow White is a lovely example of a Venus in the Fourth House because she was able to win the hearts of not 1, not 2, not 3, but 8 men! (The seven dwarfs, plus the Prince) & managed to piss off the Queen by simply being her sweet, innocent, caring & beautiful self. Once she was banished to the forest, she was able to keep her stay & earn protection from the dwarfs because she performed “motherly” duties so well! They couldn’t believe it when the Queen came and tried to kill her, YET again! Mind you, the first attempt of the Queen to kill Snow White was only thwarted because the OG Knight that was sent to kill her thought she was too beautiful & sweet to be killed! This is YOU! Your energy may invite people who are bitterly jealous of your loving spirit & find ways to make you unhappy, but it never stops you from sharing love to anyone willing to receive it. Plus, people could come to your rescue when you are persecuted & that’s a lovely gift to have.

This can be seen as more of a “Damsel in Distress” type Venus. Because let’s be real…4H placements/Cancers are ALWAYS in distress. (I kid, I kid, I’m a western Cancer rising & a Vedic Moon Atmakarka. I say this with love, but you know how Cancers are…don’t act shy now). Anyone from a Prince & seven dwarfs (I hope that’s not offensive…Little people?) will want to act courageously for you in order to make sure you are out of harms way— the way a child wants to protect their mother! Let’s never forget how “Yo Mama” jokes are the ULTIMATE sign of disrespect. Venus in the 4H/Cancer demands a certain type of respect! Snow White’s tale of woes & triumphs illustrate the ups, downs & overall kindness & good hearted nature of this placement.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone w Venus in the 4H/Cancer, they expect an all encompassing & traditional love life. Naturally very possessive (think of a crab), they want to come home to the same routine, a clean home & a home cooked meal. This lover might be quite moody as well, & they expect their lover’s to kiss their boo-boos if they’ve had a bad day & read them a bed-time story. This may be one of the most sensitive places for Venus, particularly in a Male’s chart. They most likely have a REALLY close relationship w their mother’s or a REALLY not close one, so they crave that type of attention in their romantic partnerships as well. A “mama’s boy”, if you will. This Venus tends to negate the rational mind & act on emotions. Florian, Snow White’s Prince Charming, was amazed by her the moment he laid eyes on her. (I’m projecting a little here, but bare w me, this movie came out in the 30s). It’s almost as if he has an empathic connection to her. He saw her & KNEW that was the wife & the mother of his children! He came right in the knick of time to kiss her & break the wicked curse her stepmother put on her. (Mommy issues, right?) I cannot stress enough how much this Venus wants a simple Homelife. This might be the most likely placement to live by the motto: Happy Wife, Happy Life.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 4H/Cancer, you are meant to nurture & somewhat cater to you lovers & your family members. You have the potential to be one of the most doting wives because you truly believe in family values. You seek to comfort your partner when they are in despair, & you expect the same in return. I want to take a moment to point out that this Venus placement can also lead to YOU being a mistress. (Crazy, right?!) But because Cancerian energy can be so soft, and a place for peace, you could attract lover’s that are in an unsavory relationship & seek you & your love out for solitude & soliloquy. BE AWARE! People WILL take advantage of your kind nature if you let them. This could be tied back to your relationship w your own mother, perhaps you hate to dote on her for affections, so now you believe that is the only way to receive love….but that is another post for another day. Anywho, you are one of the ultimate “wifey” placements. You just give off that vibe of marriage material. People want to come home to you, build a family w you & lay their head on your (probably) nice bosom.

What You Bring to the Table: Love, Nurturing & a Genuine Kindness/Thoughtfulness that arguably cannot be rivaled by any other placement.

How to Negotiate: You of all signs, need to SET BOUNDARIES!!!!! Okay, NEGOTIATE! You are a “wife” to your core & you deserve a ring. Do not & I repeat, DO NOT freely give love to someone who has no intention of giving you the same in return. YOU DESERVE A RING!!! Don’t you FORGET IT!!! I highly recommend you date Earth Moon signs (not Virgo, stay away from them…lol, my opinion, my opinion) or Earth Venus placements & houses. In order for you to get the best deals in life, you need to be building from a strong & steady foundation. How can you be a homemaker w no official home? Do not settle! Do not settle! Do not settle! Sacrifice & give to your children unconditionally, not no grown-man. Okay? Not everyone deserves the genuine love you have to offer.

(I’m sorry I’m getting a little preachy here, but I have seen in my line of work, doing personal tarot readings, toooooo many cancer/4H placements settle for being in the dark in relationships w emotionally unavailable or physically unavailable (because they are married) people. Know your worth baby cakes! Not everyone in the Zodiac is as loving & thoughtful as you are. You really will lay everything on the line for your personal relationships…think twice. That’s all I ask. You don’t want to be unhappy because you are loving someone who is not loving you back! My two cents…)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To love unconditionally those who unconditionally love you & provide a safe, nurturing & beautiful home to those who are deemed worthy! (Make ‘em work for it! You could have 8 men sniffing up behind you!)

Drop a baby 👶🏽 emoji because anyone would love to be cared for by you!

✨Venus in the Fifth House

Merida - Brave

“Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.” Internet Movie Database (imbd)

Venus in the Fifth House is all about drama & red hot passion! As a Venus in the 5H native, you are such a dynamic lover & usually HIGHLY creative. You can act, you can sing, you can write, you can paint, you can do a one-person show! (Personally, I think that Leo is the most creative placement. Since Venus is the planet of the arts, I consider this an exalt placement) You stand out in a room because of your fashion, but mostly because of your overall presence. You have a royal air about you. A certain “you can’t sit with us” attitude to a lover who is not on the same level as you. Children could also play a huge part in your life. You are a fierce protector & certainly carry that lioness energy when it comes to serving & providing for you kids, or children in general. This is a Boss placement for Venus, putting it back in Masculine energy. You will not back down from challenges & love and demand loyalty over anything else.

Merida is a great example of Venus in the 5H for a couple of reason. One, she is ACTUALLY royalty. She is expected to carry on the tradition of the Royal Court— get married, have kids, and die…like a good Princess. However, Merida has other plans, attempting to avoid that “lovely” life, she ends up putting a curse on her mother, turning her into a bear. This brings me to my second reason she’s a great example for this placement, the dynamic w her mother. You, like Merida, might have a mother of high standing. I always think certain Leo placements are more subversive. The reasons why Leo’s need to be seen, is because they usually have felt UNSEEN in childhood. Let’s say you always dreamed of being an under water basket weaver, but your mother always encouraged you to pursue a more traditional path, like marriage because under water basket weaving is unreasonable. Or in Merida’s case, archery. There is always a level of insecurity w Leo energy because deep down, they feel as if they haven’t been able to shine in other aspects of their lives. This is because 5H/Leo is directly behind 4H/Cancer— so the mother/daughter/son dynamic will be played out in the 5H. In Brave, this is the core of the story, & this placement calls for bravery, breaking out of the mold & pursuing a life that YOU want to pursue, regardless of what society or your mother thinks.

One of the interesting things about Leos is it is opposite of Aquarius. Well Aquarius is all about rebellion & challenging the status quo. So is Leo! Let’s take a look a the Lioness I mentioned earlier. In Lion on Lion relationships (haha, don’t know another way to put it) the female lion is far more active than her male counterpart. Male lions sleep about 16 to 20 hours a day…they…are…LAZY! It is up to the female lion to do most of the hunting & maintain the day to day when it comes to providing for the home (5H is followed by 6H of daily routines & activities). This is untraditional in the animal kingdom, usually the males are the primary hunters. I hope you see my point. With this Venus, you are more likely to be the “breadwinner” so to speak, particularly if you are woman. And if you aren’t, but you marry a powerful person, you will make sure to look DAMN-GOOD by his side supporting & encouraging him to act brave and courageously as a lioness would do for a lion & their pride (a lion family…see, “pride” comes from children in this case as well—its all…connected). Venus in the 5H is a placement that calls for going against the norm & sharing your unique talents with the world— not hiding in shadows in order to be a good daughter or a traditionally “good”mother. You can be a good mom walking down the red carpet, okuurrr?

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in 5H/Leo they expect THE BEST! They admire sophistication, beauty, class & grace. They want people to marvel at their partner’s in life & don’t always mind taking a back seat to their wives accomplishments. (They can be VERY lazy & still domineering……but let’s not get into that, this is a light hearted post). They themselves probably have a love for high art & fashion, so they appreciate a lover that is also hip to the cultural fashion trends & art trends of the day. But most importantly, they want to view & want others to view their partner’s as a work of art as well. Again, more on the traditional side of the spectrum, they value a strong partner who is still willing to bow to them. They are more of the mindset of the “lion tamer”. They love a brave & tenacious companion, but they value the fact that although their companion could stand on their own two feet— they chose them anyways. Plus this placement in a male’s chart, ONLY want the cream of the crop— so take it as a HUGE compliment if you find 5H/Leo Venus partner’s attracted to you. They have some really high standards…believe me. So if they like you, they are first & foremost, impressed by you! And that is no easy feat. For perspective, because there isn’t a real Prince in this story, A$AP Rocky is a sidereal Venus in Leo….he’s with RIHANNA! See what I mean? (Not calling A$AP lazy or beneath her, she’s a black lady Billionaire, she would have a VERY difficult time finding an equal counterpart that would still allow her to have the freedom she needs. She’s a Sidereal Aquarius sun after all. I really just wanted to illustrate this Venus sign in a male’s chart & the type of “wife/lovers” they are attracted to, not to pass judgment).

For Her: If you have Venus in the 5H/Leo, you bring out the creative & prideful side in your partnerships. Because of your natural flair for beauty, you attract all kinds of lovers who want to compete for your affection. Again, you ARE royalty & should only date royalty in return. Because you are traditional at heart, you could prove to be a very loving & loyal partner to the one who really earns their keep. In comparison to 4H/Cancer Venus, you are more likely to entertain guest & be fairly public about your relationships. Unlike the traditional average 2.5, white picket fence & a golden retriever American dream, you’re more attracted to the power couple version. 5 children, a big ole mansion with a guard for entry & a Great Dane would be more up you ally. (Love it! The bigger the better, here). As a warning, I want to say choose your partner’s wisely. Because this can be such a self-sufficient placement, you can attract lazy lover’s who just want to feed off of the energy & productivity that you radiate naturally. You could end up w deadbeats & I think this is illustrated well by the antagonist in Brave, Mor'du, who was honestly just a hating ass hater. Because you shine so brightly, you may attract people in your life that just want to take from you. Be aware! Yes you can most likely raise your young on your own, but do you waaannnnttt to is the question. (I say this with love & compassion. My mom is a Leo Sun/Leo Moon, she was a WONDERFUL single mom, but if she could do it all over again…she would have rather had an equally yoked or more powerful partner. For context, my dad is a western Leo sun & a Vedic Leo Venus……………..) Don’t let partners pass up their responsibility because you look like you got it handled all by yourself. You are a strong, but traditional wife at the heart of it all. Don’t give up that opportunity for someone who is not as royal as you. Keep your standards high is my recommendation. Date others with A LOT of Fire or Air placements, including but not limited to, Moon, Mercury or Venus signs would be my suggestion.

What You Bring to the Table: True Regalness, Creativity, Courageousness & Authoritah

How to Negotiate: KNOW. YOUR. WORTH!!!!!!!!!! Walk in like the Queen/King you are into any business or love relationship. Make them BOW…okay?! You’re coming w a kingdom & fierceness, whether you recognize it or not. You are a true secret weapon & a powerhouse when it comes to leading others, yet possessing the ultimately Queenly knowledge of knowing when to take a backseat. This is a beautiful & unique quality most other Venus placements do not have. Make sure you are always leaving the table w MORE than you came up with. This placement’s motto could be “I can do bad all by myself, so what can YOU do for ME?”. Periodt.

You Venusian Soul Contract: To bring a sense of pride to your lover’s because you have created such a regal environment for yourself & your offspring, people gawk at the power you both possess. (Plus, you & Aquarius Venus are most likely to have the coolest kids…sorry not sorry, just being real)

✨Venus in the Sixth House

Belle - Beauty & The Beast

“A prince cursed to spend his days as a hideous monster sets out to regain his humanity by earning a young woman's love.” Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Sixth house is all about purity & perfection. As a Venus in the 6H native, you are very much about the little things in life! You could enjoy simplicity, like reading a book, or a morning cup of coffee. Typically, you like to maintain a clean & organized space & take great care in maintaining appearances, even if you don’t wear make-up or getting your nails done, you are always sure to present yourself in the best way you can. Like your fellow Mercurial ruled sign, Gemini, you are endlessly curious—always trying to get to the bottom of things. This Venus placement more than others is all about service & charity. Unlike Leo energy, you don’t mind taking the back seat & find more power as the co-pilot. This can be an extremely valuable asset in a relationship, because you are least likely to feel the need to compete with you companions/business partners. You know your role & you play it well. On the other hand, because of your yearning for everything to be fit & in order, you could be hyper critical of yourself & others. You want perfection and you will communicate your ideals to anyone willing to listen.

Belle shows the significance of this type of loving style & how it truly can bring out the best in people. In Vedic tradition, Venus in Virgo is considered detriment, but it is always stated, that usually Venus in Virgo’s end up with the most beautiful & attractive partners. Why? Let’s look at Beauty & the Beast! When Belle is forced to live w the Beast to get her father out of imprisonment, Belle spends her days reading & cleaning; enjoying all the 6H actives of service & day to day routines. Beast who is not nice, to say the least, is very resistant to her femininity. He has cut himself out from society & is more than comfortable living as a wealthy outcast, distant from outside world. Belle sees right through this tough exterior, & like an artist w clay, starts chiseling away, revealing a beautiful sculpture underneath the chaos. This is the power of Venus in the 6H/Virgo. Just like your 12H/Pisces opposite sign, your purity allows you to see past the exterior of a person/relationship & see the true beauty that lies within. You are able to pinpoint problem areas & fix them in an uncanny way. Although people may take this quality as micromanagement, you are truly just wanting the best— it comes from a place of love. The Prince was enthralled w Belle’s innocences. Like a virgin, untouched by the world, left w only her books & a vivid imagination of what could be. Beast found her intriguing as he had become so jaded. Belle was able to bring out the innocence inside of himself that he had long forgotten. These are the type of relationships where you thrive. You have a child-like nature that wants everything to be just so— the lights have to be right, the setting has to be perfect & everything should be in its rightful place. And like Belle, when you are in your element, it almost seems as if the cups & dishes start singing along w you, encouraging you in your fantasy of the perfect little world you’ve created for yourself & your partners.

This placement of Venus can be misunderstood, so be aware how you communicate with your partners. You never want to come across as nit-picky or naggy. Constant criticism can drain anyone, so choose your battles wisely. 6H/Virgo energy is all about purity, health & service. You believe the world will be a better place, if its a cleaner place, free from all of its toxins. You guide through life & relationships w a type of dedication that can hardly be rivaled by any other sign. You commit to seeing that beautiful sculpture through, no matter the size of the clay or how beastly the beast! You will make it into a work of art. (I always feel like the Virgin Mary is a Venus 6H/Virgo!).

One last thing to note about Venus in the 6H, the 6H is before the 7H of peace & diplomacy, meaning, 6H is all about debates & arguments. You could find your love life to be quite quarrelsome. You and your partners like to argue. Sometimes, you may even feel like your partners are acting more like an enemy. Just be smart when you pick your partners. This is not supposed to be doom & gloom, but rather an opportunity to look at your Karma & make conscious choses accordingly. I think about this like working out. No pain, no gain, right? Just make sure you’re not hurting yourself or the ones your love/are in business with. Nothing wrong w respectfully having heated debates! It’s unhealthy to think otherwise. Moral of the story, you can turn enemies into lover, & lovers into enemies. Be wise, play it smart!

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 6H/Virgo, they expect PERFECTION from their partners. I cannot express this enough. When I say they want the Virgin Mary, I am not exaggerating. This can be a VERY difficult Venus to please from a male’s chart because this is the type of man who believes that woman don’t poop. They expect woman to be clean, dutiful, & quite intelligent, but not too intelligent, if you know what I mean. An immature male w this placement will take a very long time to settle down, or pick extremely vain partners. This is why this placement is in detriment. Prince Adam was not the most fun roommate on the planet. Constantly complaining, very particular, & just overall a not nice guy & grumpy. This can be how an un-evolved Venus 6H/Virgo male can come off— standards too high & insatiable. BENEATH IT ALL!!!! Is a beautiful, kind-hearted, considerate & passionate man, who only wants the best because he truly believes the best is achievable! This isn’t inherently a bad thing, this is just something to be aware of as this male grows, that he’s not putting off negative energy because people are flawed & may never reach his standards. Through it all, Adam loved Belle, because she was able to love openly, freely & most attractively, innocently. This placement may take a while to marry & find a wife, but when he lets go of perfectionism, this lover can be extremely kind, doting & loyal, albeit still nit-picky & argumentative. (It can be cute though if you don’t take it personally…lol)

For Her: If you have Venus in the 6H/Virgo, you bring out the flaws in your partner. Hear me out, you bring troubling things to the surface, so they can be addressed and made anew! You are the “fixer” in relationships. So be careful not to turn your love life or your work life into “projects”. You act as the “health inspector”, you see what’s unhealthy or hazardous, flag it, & correct it. You turn “bad” things into “good” things, unlocking potential that no one else saw. (At the end of the day, Beast was still a millionaire w a huge mansion & money…don’t give your beautiful energy to no broke Beast. That’s just a beast hunny…ain’t no beauty about it. I kid…I kid, we all have to start somewhere, but please, be realistic in your expectations of how much you can help someone. They have to want to help themselves first.) You may draw out a very possessive & protective energy in your partners as well because they want to keep you as pure as possible. You, like gemini, may find yourself in relationships w age difference, OR life difference. Meaning, you could have grown up on a farm, & you meet a man from the city who loves your simple farm girl attitude, but deep down, he knows if he takes you to the city, you could become something else. This is the difficulty of this placement. The “virginity” that lures partners towards you, gets taken away the moment they “conquer” you. Once they have you, you are no longer the “virgin” they want to see you as. Again, not a fun issue to have imo, hence the detriment, but it’s not impossible to overcome. With the right partners, they will value that you will always bring a certain level of virgin pureness, because that’s just who you are, regardless of the environment you find yourself in. With this placement, you will have to be mindful to not let your partners project onto you this idea that you are “perfect”, even if you try so desperately to perpetuate that yourself. The moment you let go of the need for perfection in your relationships, you will be able to enjoy them & enjoy doing the little things in life! Like reading a book on the porch, or sharing a cup of coffee. (I brought it back teehee). Because that’s what the sixth house is all about— routine & duty. Keep it simple! Don’t overcomplicate things!

What You Bring tho the Table: Genuine purity, servitude, simplicity & charity.

How to Negotiate: Know that you are more service oriented than any other placement in the Zodiac. Your love of supporting from behind the scenes is a gift to someone who can see how rare & thoughtful you truly are. You of all signs, needs someone who values the little things in life as much as you do, so they never take for granted your loyalty & kindness. Learn to speak up for yourself! Following 5H/Leo, you can constantly feel overshadowed. DON’T!!! I always say, if you left it to just Actors, there would be no theatre. Stage runners, managers & writer’s (6H/Virgo energy can be PHENOMINAL writers) are what makes the shows happen! Your organization skills & time management skills are superb. Don’t EVER EVER EVER feel like your talents are “boring” or you’re a boring partner. YOU ARE NOT! You are what makes everything run smoothly! Don’t take that for granted within yourself & then no one will be able to take it for granted in your romantic partnerships AS WELL as work & business partnerships. (Have you ever noticed when you call out from work, all hell breaks loose? Yeah…that part. Don’t be afraid to ask for that raise babes…you’ve earned it!)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To bring out the best in your partners & allow them to bring the best out in you, without becoming too critical or cynical in your relationships or the world around you!

✨Venus in the Seventh House

Ariel - The Little Mermaid

“A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain in an attempt to become human and win a prince's love.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Faustian bargain definition, according to Britannica: a pact whereby a person trades something of supreme moral or spiritual importance, such as personal values or the soul, for some worldly or material benefit, such as knowledge, power, or riches.

Venus in the Seventh House is all about sacrifice & negation. If you have Venus in the 7H/Libra, you are motivated by peace. You, more than any other placement, truly value balance & togetherness in relationships. You can find yourself in situations bending over backwards to please your partners & this is a part of your Karma. One of your biggest lessons in this lifetime, is to learn how to value yourself EVEN MORE than you value the opinions of others. Relationships & partnerships come to you quite easily because you are very charismatic, down to earth & approachable. Although you may be dressed in the latest fashion & have a good eye for trends, if anyone is able to get close to you, they almost instantly are drawn into your cool & diplomatic attitude. You’re not pushy or aggressive like your opposite house/sign, 1H/Aries, but you are still masculine & wanting the best outcome for everyone involved by remaining level headed & open.

Ariel demonstrates the negotiation & sacrifice that is required of any of your significant relationships. This post will be focusing on the Disney version of The Little Mermaid to stay on theme, but the Grimm Fairytale of this story is an even greater example of the Faustian dynamic. (Spoiler alert: it is NOT a happy ending). Ariel is inquisitive & curious about the world around her. She feels as if the sea is boring & there is more to the world than her family is letting her explore. (Wanting to break out of the 6H of daily routines) After spotting a handsome Prince (7H partnerships) on the seashore (after causing her fair bits of trouble), she falls madly in love & makes a deal with the Sea Witch, Ursula, to give up her voice in exchange for legs so she can walk on land and marry her prince. THIS is the heart of Venus in the 7H that I want to emphasis. Ariel was willing (& did) give her entire essence up for a man she only laid eyes on a few times. This shallow approach to love ended up being her downfall as Ursula turned into a beautiful woman as well & was able to capture the Prince’s attention too. Because the 7H of others & partnerships is followed by the 8H of death & rebirth, Venus 7H/Libra placements are inherently extremely karmic in nature. This placement will force you to look past the shallow things in love (looks, companionship, “he will make cute babies” mindset) and challenge you to dig deep within yourself to break out & find your own wisdom & inner truth (8H to 9H progression). The beauty of this placement though, is once you are able to stand on your own two feet (teehee) you are a very balanced and fair partner. Ariel sacrificed her voice in order to be with someone, do you find yourself in similar situations? Are you willing to sacrifice your entire being, your mermaid tail, in order to fit in a world you feel isolated from? These types of feelings of rejection & needing to let parts of yourself go in order to be accepted as a whole can be cardinal feelings of this particular Venus placement. Be very aware of what you are willing to give up in order to keep the peace, or be in a relationship.

This placement for Venus can make you an excellent, fair & stable partner— willing to put yourself aside in order to make sure everyone leaves the deal happy. You are justice in your relationships. Anyone who is able to tie you down is lucky, because it will be hard to find anyone else willing to go to the ends of the earth for their affection like you. You attempt to stay away from arguments & want relationships filled with pleasure & good times. Just be careful to remember conflict is natural, & just because you value peace over passion, doesn’t mean you should give up your voice to fit in. Speak up! As long as you take your relationships seriously & don’t give into shallow thinking or shallow understandings of your partners, you have potential to be in happy & long term relationships because Venus is the natural ruler of the 7H— Venus is more than comfortable here & is constantly seeking out relationships & partnerships. Use your gifts to your advantage! Value who you are outside of the gaze of others! Stand firm! You will make one heck of a partner!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a Venus in the 7H/Libra individual, they expect Peace in their relationships & in their home life. They require balance & understanding, & value calm, cool & collected conversations opposed to passionate outburst. As stated before, this placement can run the risk of being shallow in relationships. Constantly weighing the pros & cons of their significant others, no matter how big or small the differences. This lover can also move very slow when it comes to making commitments. Never take this personally, they just want to be VERY sure the commitment will be worth their time. They are followed by the 8H/Scorpio after all, so after they commit, they are ALL in! Prince Eric, is a great example of how charming & beautiful this placement can be in a male’s chart. He was able to sweep Ariel off her feet & she doesn’t even have any! This lover/partner is cooler than cool, effortlessly drifting from conversation to conversation making people feel as if they are wrapped up in a sensual dream of pleasure & all things beautiful. However, Prince Eric was also easily swayed by Ursula’s tricks, so he also demonstrates how this placement can fall for a pretty face over personality. You, like Ariel, could find yourself in strange love triangles as this inherently indecisive lover takes his time to pick his forever. This placement can make for a very equal, just & understanding partner, but this partner will not tolerate anything that disrupts his innocent & somewhat niave view of the world. If you are trying to lock this one down, stay cool— don’t push!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 7H/Libra you are meant to create a safe space for you partners. You are able to create beautiful homes, full of luxury & good company. You have an eye for detail & are able to bring people together in ways that are truly admirable. You and your significant partnerships will always be negotiating the responsibilities of the relationship until you are able to reach an agreement. You have no problem sacrificing for you lover’s & family, but your sacrifice must be worth it. You bring a certain charm to anyone who is lucky enough to stand beside you because you represent beauty & grace. Your even temper is a turn on to people & attracting people isn’t hard for you as long as you are putting yourself out there. There is a certain air that you have that is very alluring to others, almost like a Venus fly trap. You really are a gift to your partners as long as you are not backing yourself into a corner & neglecting your needs. As long as you maintain an open & honest dialogue with you partners, you can have a smooth relationships when you decide to commit.

What You Bring to the Table: Diplomacy, Charisma, Understanding & a Willingness to Sacrifice.

How to Negotiate: N. E. G. O. T. I. A. T. E. !!!!! Don’t just take the first deal anyone throws your way. You can get what you want as long as you are willing to give something up first. JUST DON’T GIVE UP YOUR ENTIRE SELF! Your wit & charming attitude alone are enough to make people want to bend over backwards for you. Don’t take this gift for granted or sell yourself short! Once everyone is able to declare what they need, then you will make sure that they get what they want! This is one of the best placements to have if you are wanting to get into law or politics. You know how to sell & you know how to bring people together & mediate! That is a service in & of itself. The cool-headedness you bring will allow you to remain objective no matter what. You will be able to make anyone happy, just make sure you are making yourself happy as well.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn the power of sacrifice for the sake of relationships, while also learning how to maintain boundaries without sacrificing too much— essentially learning how to negotiate.

✨Venus in the Eighth House

Tiana - Princess & the Frog

“A waitress, desperate to fulfill her dreams as a restaurant owner, is set on a journey to turn a frog prince back into a human being, but she has to face the same problem after she kisses him.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Eighth House is all about the darker sides of love concerning money & power. Interesting, huh? If you have Venus in the 8H/Scorpio, you can be described as a very intense lover, private & mysterious. You have an aura about you that lets people know you are not the one to played with, nor are you the one to be taken advantage of. As off putting as this energy may be for some, this is infatuating & intoxicating to others. This Venus placement can give relationships real power struggles as you & your partner fight for dominance. Following the 7H/Libra of others, peace, partnership & diplomacy, you can think of the 8H/Scorpio as the number 13. It’s “unfavorable” because it follows the “perfect” number, 12/ Not to say you are unlucky in love, but more so, the 8H signifies the ending of “peace” for the sake of learning higher knowledge and earning power. If you can’t tell already, this is a very complex placement, making you a very complex & complicated lover. You will find that a lot of your relationships & partnerships require constant change & transformation. Your most significant relationships will force you to go inward & then lunge you into seeking higher knowledge & truths (9H/Sagittarius). You are a fierce & dynamic partner, stopping at nothing to protect the ones you love, come hell or high water— although courting you can prove to be quite difficult because you value your privacy. You, more than any other placement, fear that letting someone in can give a certain power of you that you may not be willing to let go of. You want to protect yourself at all cost. You may find yourself attracting partners that threaten your sense of security for one reason or another. This can prove to be a really transformative experience for you and your partners throughout your life.

Tiana & “The Princess & the Frog” is a STELLAR example of the fascinating & complex nature of Venus in the 8H/Scorpio. Not only does this deal w black magic & New Orleans voodoo (shoutout to my Creole sisters & Louisiana peeps…bonjou!) all matter of the 8H dealing w occult knowledge, the driving force behind this film is inheritance. Both Prince Charming & Tiana are using love to gain financial power to pursue their deepest desires (8H) and have true freedom (9H). Prince Naveen is unaware that his carefree nature and unwillingness to commit, lands him in a tight position of negotiating (7H) w a Voodoo Priest. He is seeking power, money & a strong standing, but has been cut off from his wealthy parents. After making a deal, he is transformed into a frog, where he has to kiss & marry a princess in order to receive all the riches he feels he deserves. This is the power of the 8H. Because the 8H follows the 7H, the 8H talks about what is gained in the union AFTER marriage/contracts & partnerships are made. This is where inheritance, in-laws & joint bank accounts come into play. Tiana is duped into kissing the Prince after he misleads her into believing he already has a lot of money & can help her pursue her dream of opening up her own restaurant. Both of them seeing the power of this union, agree to scratch each other’s back. A kiss in exchange for some money— Tiana’s a Real Lady Marmalade, amiright? Although this is a Disney Movie, lets for a second talk about the “kiss”. For the sake of this post, let’s look at that “kiss” as a sexual exchange (8H). Sex is major factor in Venus in the 8H/Scorpio. You could use sex for power OR you could have issues w “giving up” sex, because you feel like you’re giving up power. This could be due to trauma surrounding sex as well. Here we see Tiana give over her “power” to the Prince, thinking the Prince will return power to her in the form of money only to be BAMBOOZLED & be transformed into a frog herself. This is a very strong possibility for a Venus in the 8H/Scorpio Native. If you aren’t careful w the lover’s you choose, there could see some repercussions for being dishonest— either from you or from them. Both Tiana & Naveen were dishonest with one another for leverage. Steer clear from this in any of your relationships. Of course this is a Disney film after all, so we all know it ends w them falling in love, reversing the curse, throw in a catchy (or really dark) Disney number or two & hocus pocus, they marry & live happily ever after— yaaay!

This film demonstrates that the partnership is only the beginning of a journey w another person. Signing a contract is only the first step in securing the deal. If the 7H is the contract itself, the 8H is how the contract plays out in action. Venus in 8H/Scorpio knows more than any other sign, that power is everything in partnerships or else you run the risk of getting scorned. This mindset could be from this lifetime or past lifetimes, because this placement, like Libra, is highly karmic in nature. You will experience deep, transformative & even sometimes scary dynamics in your relationships because there is a driving passion behind some of your unions. Seeing as the 8H/Scorpio is ruled by Mars, Venus finds itself quite uncomfortable here because it goes against its peaceful nature. Love isn’t supposed to be about power, it’s supposed to be about equilibrium. But just as the 8H sits opposite of the Venus ruled 2H, which would rather deal w the stability of a relationship, 8H deals w the uncertainty & the unknown of partnerships. You crave security more than anything else from your partners, romantically or financially. You, more than any other Venus placement, will negotiate relationships based purely on power dynamics. You could find yourself w an extremely controlling/intense partner, you could be the very controlling/intense partner yourself, or you could use your partner to gain control in other aspects of your life. The advice w this placement is to release control. Be present w your loves & don’t look at love & business with a “winners & losers” attitude. With enough effort & real communication (I’m sorry, but 8H/Scorpio placements are NOTORIOUSLY poor communicators, you’re very private) you can find yourself in power couple teams & have transformative & overall spiritual experiences with your partners!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a Venus in the 8H/Scorpio individual, he expects complete control & dominance in the relationship. This can be an extremely powerful placement & requires a lot of maturing to be used to its highest degree. On the positive side, this lover/partner can be loyal, protective, passionate & mysterious, in a sexy broody kind of way. On the other hand, this lover/partner can be deceptive, manipulative, vindictive, spiteful & secretive in a not-so-sexy-but-kinda-liar kind of way. You have to decipher which end of the spectrum your partner is on, but know there is a spectrum. To be completely honest, not everyone can handle the intensity of this type of Venus in relationships. This lover can send its lovers into an all encompassing whirlwind & people fear they may lose their sense of identity in the midst of the dark chaos. Others (like me, teehee) are extremely drawn in & fascinated by this kind of energy— seeking out the inner depths lying underneath of such a complex & fascinating person. I say all that to say, choose wisely. Understand that this will not be a lover/partner you can get over on easily. Prince Naveen is a perfect example of this type of Venus placement. He is initially deceptive & lunges Tiana into a new experiences that transforms both of their lives forever. He is seeking money & power & is willing to due just about anything to get it, included messing with the dark arts. After going through such a crazy experience, it only brought the couple closer together & made them more faithful. This can be the beautiful transformative quality of this Venus placement. Overall, this lover will give you what you give them 10-fold. This lover could be very tricky, but so could you. Stay on your toes, & never try to be deceptive or put yourself in a position to be deceived.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 8H/Scorpio, you trigger your partner into growth & make them seek out power. This can be material power, or higher power, like religion or higher wisdom. One thing is for sure, your lovers/partners will never be the same after your encounter. You exude a certain type of reclusiveness & partners will be lured in to attempt to dominate you in order to crack your shell. You’re not a naturally open partner & believe that self preservation is more important than being equal. This is not to say you are a bad or selfish person, although if this placement is under developed, it can certainly appear that way, it’s more so saying that you wouldn’t want to get hurt in any of your relationships by handing over too much power WITHOUT it being earned. Once you feel your partner’s are worthy, you can be extremely generous, open & thoughtful (just make sure this isn’t another way of trying to manipulate the situation…no judgment here…but old habits die hard). You force your partners to take a good hard look at themselves. You ruin any illusion they had about the world & show them the underbelly of what the dark side has to offer. Although sometimes you can go a little Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, it’s all projected out of fear of losing the ones you love. This Venus placement needs to learn to embrace fear rather than try to control it. Tiana was fearful she would be out bid for her restaurant, & from that fear she ran & kissed the first frog who hopped her way lying saying he could give her money & financial security. THIS is a lesson this Venus brings. Don’t act out of fear. Act from a place of love & you will find love in return. Act out of a place of fear & your worst nightmare will come all but true. I cannot stress enough the POWER of this Venus placement. Your lovers will never forget their life altering experiences w you. E.V.E.R!

What You Bring to the Table: Transformation, Power, Security, Loyalty & Wisdom

How to Negotiate: Operate from a place of fairness & not from a place of self-preservation. When you attempt to try & plan for the worse, you can make shady deals & put yourself in some shady situations. Again, this doesn’t mean you are a shady person, this just means you are more willing to do shady things if you think it will be beneficial to your long-term survival. Don’t always think the worst of people & then you won’t see the worse in people. Your sharp eye & observations are keen tools for you to see through deception. Always follow your gut & you will stay out of harms way. Be weary not to step on people’s toes to get to the top first. You can lead w fairness if you master the 8H and enter the 9H. Once you shed your fears, you will see just how lucky you are. Be mindful to not self sabotage the great deals you do make. You may have a “I’ll get over on you before you get over on me” type mindset entering into relationships— Work through this or else you will always find yourself in relationship deaths & rebirth cycles until you get the lesson to just let go.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn how to surrender fears & release expectations of control while gaining power & security in an open in honest way.

✨Venus in the Ninth House

Pocahontas - Pocahontas

“An English soldier and the daughter of an Algonquin chief share a romance when English colonists invade seventeenth century Virginia.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Ninth house is all about learning, wisdom & blending/preserving cultures. If you have Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, you most likely LOVE traveling, learning & take interest in cultures outside of your own. AND/OR you are very religious & quite tribal in nature on how you view the world. (Probably a mixture of both). You could easily be attracted to people of different races, country of origin, religious backgrounds, or even social classes. If this is the case, you will attempt to submerge yourself in their culture & be fascinated by what makes you different, instead of vilifying them for being different from you like most people tend to do. OR you value your way of life so much, you wouldn’t want to disrupt it with outside forces. Unevolved, you could be very fearful of people outside of your realm of awareness. Either way, faith plays a very strong role in your life. You either throw caution to the wind & test your luck, or you are very specific w the kind of partners you will have who share your same core values. You also possess a certain type of luck & favor when it comes to your romantic relationship & your business partnerships! Because you come to the table as understanding & willing to learn, you can easily make people see the world from your eyes. OR your are so strong in your beliefs, you feel the need to convert people to your way of life. If you do find yourself in a relationship with someone whose an “other”, you will most likely NOT give up who you are just because you are. Your sense of self/faith in yourself is mighty mighty strong. You may convert religion for a relationship, but it’s because you WANT to convert. You won’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to do. Venus here is back in a masculine energy, so although you may go along to get along w certain aspects of a partnership, your fiery nature will always come out if people force you to conform or if people around you don’t conform. You don’t take NO BS from NO ONE with this placement.

Pocahontas, in her self-titled film, is a beautiful example of this type of energy. (DISCLAIMER, I am going off of the DISNEY movie. I know this is sooo historically inaccurate, it’s not even funny, but this it is a kids movie after all! It’s difficult to explain mass genocide to children…but on a happier note, s/o to my Native American/Indigenous sisters & brothers!!! Black Foot, Opelousa & Attakapas represent!!! They may have kept us down, but they won’t keep us out forever!!!) Like Pocahontas, you may find that your father has a powerful position & somehow may play a part in your love life. Wanting the best for his daughter & being the Chief of the tribe (Venus in 9H/Sag, can indicate a very powerful father figure who is strong in their beliefs/religion), he promises Pocahontas’ hand in marriage to the best warrior in the tribe. This demonstrates the part of 9H/Sagittarius energy that wants to preserve its culture & is dogmatic in its beliefs. Pocahontas’ father has ZERO interest in the pale people that washed up on the shore. He feels (rightfully so…lol) they will bring nothing but trouble. He is close minded, self-righteous & tribal in this instance. On the other hand, Pocahontas is unsatisfied w this arrangement, wanting to remain free & open to experiences the world around her! This is TRADEMARK Venus 9H/Sag energy. I’ve found this placement very likely to marry young, but also get divorced young too. Particularly for woman, 9H/ Sagittarius energy is INCREDIBLY hard to settle down. I mean………………INCREDIBLY HARD! So if you have this placement, you may be married a few times w all different kinds of people. It’s usually recommended to get married after the age of 26. Either way, Your motto is probably “I AIN’T GOT NO TYPE, INTERESTING/LUCKY BOYS IS THE ONLY THING THAT I LIKE”.

Another thing to note about Pocahontas is her intuition is extremely strong & she is a very faithful lover of Earth & nature. Unlike the other people in her tribe, she is seen a dreamer & a wonderer. This is because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is also known as Guru in Vedic tradition, being a teacher & an explorer. Through “the colors of the wind”, Pocahontas feels joy in teaching her “Prince Charming” about the connectedness of life & encourages him to let go of his material pursuits & pursue a life of peace & inner knowing. (It’s worth noting that Jupiter also rules 12H/Pisces in Vedic astrology, so there are certainly parallels between these two placements for Venus.) This demonstrates an important aspect of 9H/Sag Venus. With the entire tribe against her & John Smith’s friends against him, they managed to overcome all obstacles & blend together two seemingly opposing cultures, one ruled by peace & love, another ruled by colonialism & material gain— & bring out the best in one another, ultimately bringing together 2 cultures. (For my Tarot people, this is why in the Temperance card, the Angel is holding 2 cups, mixing them together) You may notice this could be a pattern that follows you throughout all your intimate love affairs or long-term jobs. Pocahontas acts as a vibrant teacher & John Smith, a willing student in order to bring their love together & bring peace to the changing world around them! (Bleh, I know it hurts because this is NOT at all what happened in real life, like…at all, but we can pretend, right? RIGHT?!!!??!! Thanks Disney.)

This film demonstrates the clear sightedness, patience & willingness to understand that 9H/Sagittarius Venus can bring to love & business partnerships. You are able to blend your love of exploration & faith to bring people/places & things together that others wouldn’t dare think belong. Because the 9H follows the 8H, which is one of the darkest houses in the Zodiac, you appreciate the lighter things in life! Although extremely serious in nature (I don’t think 9H/ Sag energy get enough credit for being very serious about life, you aren’t the party loving extravert all the time) you know how to have a good time & prove to be a very generous & giving lover! As long as you remain open & don’t get too dogmatic or self-righteous when it comes to your beliefs, you could have a very “colorful” (hehe you catch the pun?) love life. Seriously, very colorful. The duality of the Venus sign cannot be ignored, much like its opposite, 3H/Gemini. At its worst, this placement can present as a xenophobic, radical, religious bigot (harsh, but true) & at its best, this placement can present as a wonderful, open, explorative, spiritual baddie! Always check what side of the fence you are on!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a partner w Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, they expect their lover’s to be spontaneous & open OR religious & “subservient”. This partner is attracted to exoticness & they want someone that is outside of their immediate dating pool. They could be mixed heritage themselves or at the very least, well traveled! You definitely need to be well read, because this lover is likely to be highly educated. On the flip side, if they aren’t as educated, they are very likely to be extremely religious & faithful in nature. This partner will expect you to follow their beliefs and faith. This placement will either want you to share the exact same beliefs/values/culture as them OR they want you to be radically different, it just depends on the person. Sagittarius is a mutable sign after all, so there isn’t one way for this to appear. (I know I’m speaking in black & white terms, but I’m not trying to say uneducated means religious as a bad thing, or vice versa, just trying to paint a picture of how beliefs & education can play a role in this Venus placement. 9H deals with religion & higher learning!) John Smith, is a prime example of this placement. He came to the new world, willing to explore unknown territory, w high expectations of wealth! He’s obviously a lucky chap, because we all know that journey from the Old World to the “New World” is treacherous. After meeting Pocahontas, he was intrigued by her exotic beauty. He had never laid eyes on anyone like her before. He took a deep curiosity in her & wanted to learn (3H/Gemini, your opposite sign) everything he could from her, in spite of his “tribe” disagreeing with their union. This demonstrates the curiosity, explorative nature & rebelliousness of this Venus placement. Keep your partner learning & you will keep their attention! Unless you get the other end of the spectrum of Venus in 9H/Sag, then be in Church/Temple/Mosque bright & early & never miss an opportunity to praise God. If you get an evolved 9H/Sag lover or business partner, you are in for a lovely treat w many blessings!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, you are meant to show your lover’s/partners another way of living, and/or support them fully on the spiritual journey they are already on. Spirituality & religion/culture will almost certainly always be a factor in your major relationships. If you are like Pocahontas, who is more of a “go with the flow” type girl, maybe even a little hippie-dippie, you are meant to teach your partner the way of letting go & not falling captive to control issues. All in all, you are teaching them about faith & pure luck. You could easily be a good luck charm to any of your lovers/partners. I can’t stress enough the release 9H placements can bring, following the extremely binding 8H & then proceeding the even more restrictive 10H. 9H energy is genuinely like a breath of fresh air, so BE THAT! If you are more of a “faithful” lover/partner, and I am using faithful in terms of religion, not necessarily about monogamy, (in fact, you may not be the most monogamous partner ever, you could want to explore too much), you are most likely to be a “Preacher’s wife”. You are meant to exude the best parts of your religion & stand strong beside your partner who could easily be a leader of some sort. The issue can come to play if you let fear guide your religion opposed to open faith. This placement is particularly unpredictable, because 9H/Sagittarius energy can manifest in so many different ways! You could be free flowing or very restricted by religion. Regardless, the one thing I do know is, you will be yourself through & though— uncompromising at times & surprisingly open minded at others, as long as you know where you stand, no one will be able to bring you down. Hey, you may even be the one to prevent a future mass genocide, like Disney said!

What You Bring to the Table: Faithfulness, Open-mindedness OR Strong Beliefs while be Strong-Willed & Unafraid of the Unknown (or not, you get the point).

How to Negotiate: Bring your life experience to the table. You will compliment your partner in whatever form they need. You are willing to learn & be open to new experiences. You are VERY knowledgeable about your beliefs and often times, highly educated! Don’t downplay your intelligence, but be cautions not to come off arrogant, close-minded or peachy. You have a lot of charism & people value & appreciate your opinions. Again, you have to know what kind of 9H/Sagittarius you are! If you are more of the religious side, find a religious partner who shares the same beliefs & values as you. If you are more of a free-spirit, find a partner that interest you & allows you to be your free & wonderful self! If you are a mixture of both, religious & free spirited, accept that & find a partner who’s views the world in a similar way. You will most likely have a very interesting love journey, taking many twist & turns as you straddle between 2 such restrictive houses. Bottom line, you negotiate freedom when you talk about relationships or business partners. Be realistic w what you are willing/not willing to sacrifice.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To support & encourage your lovers as they navigate how their spirituality plays a part in their life!

✨Venus in the Tenth House

Cinderella- Cinderella

“When Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother.” Internet Movie Database (IMBd).

Venus in the Tenth House is all about restriction, discipline, class & sophistication. Venus in the 10H/Capricorn is all about a rise to power & union after struggle & hardships. If you have this placement, it is very likely that you are highly ambitious & have big dreams. This is a powerful Venus, because the 10H is the highest place in people’s chart. Plus Saturn, the natural ruler of the 10H/Capricorn, is very friendly towards Venus & enjoys spoiling it. You exude beauty & class, & public appearances mean a great deal to you. You are careful about keeping up a certain reputation & you work hard to maintain it. The world’s perception of you plays a huge part in your relationships & partnerships. You have the capability to be very well known for what you do as a profession. With Venus in the 10H, you may be interested in pursing a career in the arts/entertainment; film, television, modeling, fashion, etc or politics. (Funny how actors are politicians & politicians are actors) You are most likely to need an audience in order for you to consider yourself successful in your worldly pursuits. (Marrying the boss)

Cinderella is the PERFECT story of Venus in 10H/Capricorn, because it demonstrates the power of a Saturn Return BAY-BEE!!! Ms. Cinderella was going THROUGH IT, literally for no reason. Her mother died, then her dad got married because he wanted help raising her, so he married a woman who turned out to be a BXTCH. THEN he had the nerve to die, so Cinderella was forced to take care of her evil-ass step-mama & her ugly-ass step sisters. Talk about 10H/Saturn giving hardships! Through all of this chaos, Cinderella remained dutiful & helpful. People don’t always realize this, but 10H/Capricorn energy is feminine. So Venus in the 10H, puts Venus back in a feminine sign. Cinderella emanates how this feminine energy can remain kind & loyal, even when unnecessary restrictions & hardships are placed on them. The beauty comes after aaaallllll the BS. She was rewarded abundantly for her discipline, (but we will get into this later).

As I stated earlier, you can look at Cinderella’s fairy God Mother (Whitney Houston is Queen! I know we are doing Disney, but I have to pay honor to my girl. May she rest in peace) as her Saturn return. After years & years & years of being under the thumb of her step-mother & sisters, a miracle appeared to her because she stayed kind, open & never held resentment/contempt for her “family”.

I want to take a moment to really dig into how Cinderella has been dissed/disrespected & why she doesn’t deserve it. Idk if you can tell, but Cinderella is my favorite Disney Princess. Is this because I have Venus in the 10H? Maybe. Maybe I am a bit biased, but let me tell you why. When feminists/The Cheetah Girls talk about Cinderella sitting in a dusty cellar waiting for somebody to come & set her free, they are missing the entire point of the story. Not ONCE did Cinderella dream of being a Princess or say that a man was her only ticket out of the shenanigans. She is the epitome of feminine strength & beauty. She cooked, she cleaned, she sewed, she sang, she was obedient & never really complained about what she couldn’t control. People stay disrespecting Cinderella as being weak, but when you really think about what she went through, she was SO strong— a lot stronger than most. There is nothing weak about authentic gentleness. She never wanted to disrupt the status quo, she played with the hand she was dealt. She sucked it up & kept her wits until the Universe blessed her with an opportunity that ended up changing her life. If you have this placement, really look & see how this could be parallel to your life & experiences. Have you been shamed because you respect authority & boundaries, even if that means embracing hardships & self-sacrificing? Do you understand the true femininity you posses, simply by doing what you are told, but knowing that in the long-run, you will be rewarded greatly? Truly think about this, because this could be a theme that is played out in your life over & over again, until the age of 33 (according to Vedic astrology, 27 for western). The overall trick of this placement is to RECOGNIZE A MIRACLE WHEN IT COMES!!!! Read that again. Saturn does not deny, it delays. Cinderella was NEVER meant to stay scrubbing them dusty hoes clothes for the rest of her days. She didn’t know it, but the entire time, she was being prepared to be a loving & compassionate QWEEN! This is a significant part of this Venus placement. There is no right or wrong way to be a woman. Being dutiful & disciplined can be just as strong & powerful as being a “bad bxtch” who don’t take no shiz from no man. Don’t let people diss Cinderella, she really was a beautiful, kind & strong woman who deserved her happily ever after! (Sorry, I just had to go on a little rant. I get the sentiment of not wanting to be beholden to a man, but someone people feel whole when they are able to serve the ones they love. There is NO shame in that! Different strokes for different folks!)

Back to the film, So after Cinderella is again shxt on by her step-mother, her blessing comes! Note here, “time is of the essence”. That is important to Venus in the 10H/Capricorns! Time is not always on your side. Saturn is the traditional ruler of time, so things can happen later in life than normal. Or when these amazing things happen, you only have a short time to act! Of course we all know the rest of the story, the Prince sees her, falls in love w her because she’s the most beautiful girl at the ball. But she has to run back home, he searches for her & then he finds her. He marries her, takes her away from them crusty bad build fugly family members & they live happily ever after.

It is imperative for this sign to continue to dream & to remain patient & diligent when it comes to love. You may really struggle w finding a partner while you are younger, because you tend to be mature for you age, no matter your age, you take relationships seriously & chances are, you have other responsibilities! Don’t think that delay means denial. Just like Cinderella, she worked worked worked worked worked, & than magically, she met the love of her life! Of course it’s hard to believe in fairytales, as Saturnians are naturally cynical, but believe! A dream is a wish your heart makes! So don’t let the tough things in life stop you for loving every bit of your journey. Cinderella impressed the Prince with one glance. You will do the same when the time is right!

One final thought, 10H/Capricorn placements are usually attracted to men with status & power. This Venus is all about leveling up as well. Our baddie Cindy, married the Prince— this can be seen as the modern equivalent of marrying the big boss! DO NOT SETTLE!!! DO NOT SETTLE!!! DO NOT SETTLE!!! I ain’t saying this placement is a gold-digger, but I am saying this placement will not mess w any broke _____. No scrubs! If the shoe don’t fit, you must acquit!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a person w a Venus in the 10H/Capricorn, this person expects loyalty, sacrifice, dutifulness & structure. This may sound boring, but I will say, this placement gets better as it ages— fine like wine. Think about it. What do most people truly want in their later years? Peace & security! This Venus can offer that, but it takes time, some serious investments & sacrifice. Young male Venus in the 10H/Capricorns are extremely hard to pin down, because they want all their ducks in a row before committing to a relationship. This is someone that is more than okay taking it slow in relationships & building. They will not rush & you cannot rush then. Like Prince Charming in Cinderella, he wasn’t going to get married until he was good & gosh-darn ready. His parents had to throw him an entire ball to find a wife, only for him to fall in love w the one girl he was most unlikely to have! THEN he refused to be w anyone else, forcing the entire kingdom to comply to his demands. Who knows how many tax dollars he spent just looking for her! He knew what he wanted & Prince Charming wasn’t going to have anything less. Just like Prince Charming, this partner will eventually turn into a King. This relationship may require more patience than you are willing to give, but if you allow the relationship to bloom, it will be well worth the wait. (Don’t wait forever though. NEVER wait forever, but assuming its a healthy relationship, it will be worth the time & energy). Another way this placement can present itself is like the “cowboy” trope. This partner can be the strong, silent type, living off the land, building their wealth from the bottom up. They can also be a cop or a military man, someone working for the government. Again, it’s all about the 401K & retirement plan. They appreciate more than most stability & structure. This can be very beneficial in the long run. At their worst, they can be very rigid & unmoving. At their best, they can be practical problem solvers, planning for a raining day, but knowing how to enjoy the fruits of their labour!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 10H/Capricorn, you are meant to bring out strength, steadiness & balance in your partnerships. You will most likely take the role of the more practical one, or be attracted to older, mature “high-value” (bleh!) kind of men. A lot of people talk about wanting & deserving the best, but you are the placement to actually wait & work for the best. Most people lose patience & will sacrifice long-term stability for short-term pleasure…not you. It’s not in your DNA. You most likely have extremely high expectations in love & can have a very difficult time, particularly in your younger years, developing relationships. You may come off as cold & unbothered, but you are more so just waiting to be impressed. Once someone is able to capture your attention, you can prove to be one of the most loyal & hardworking partners on the planet! You take your relationships & commitments very seriously. It could be because it took you so long to find love in the first place, you want to try your best to maintain the relationships you do have. Imagine Cinderella! She would hard pressed to leave the Prince & go back to that nightmare she was living before! In any case, because you can be so loyal in your relationships, you have to make sure you are being loyal to the right lover/partners. You don’t want to waste your energy, giving & giving to something that is not giving you something in return— even if it just status & financial security. You may have some relationships that are dull & boring from the outside world, but that most likely brings you a lot of comfort. The downside to this is that you can run into one of those long love-less, sexless, contractual type of relationships for the sake of security. If that’s not what you want, don’t settle. Don’t feel obligated to stay in partnerships that don’t serve your emotional needs as well. As stated before, you are a lover/partner that brings out the practical side of relationships. You of all people know that love isn’t all about rainbows and butterflies, it’s compromise that moves things along. (S/o to you if you get the reference) & love don’t pay not bills. You are hard-working in life & in your relationships, so just be sure to take time to be fun & spontaneous. Life doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. Plus people may confuse your focus on work as you not liking them because you can be one track. Please be mindful of other people’s emotions & understand Acts of Service is not everyone’s love language & try to accommodate. If you can balance your severe nature with a more loving one from time to time, like your opposite house 4H/Cancer, you have a lot of potential to have a lifetime romance! You are in it for the long-haul.

What You Bring to the Table: Discipline, Commitment, Status, Class & Elegance.

How to Negotiate: You should always be a tough negotiator when it comes to your relationships. You, more than any other placement, needs decide what a relationship will be upfront, so you know what to expect. Do not wait until year 3 to be like “Do you want kids? Can I be a stay at home mom? Do you believe in marriage?” NO!!! Ask people on date two/three. When it comes to jobs & business contracts, don’t put energy into a job where you don’t understand the job description. You will do what you’re told to the best of your abilities, as long as you are told clearly & honestly. Always remember that you are a valuable asset to anyone; be it in love or working situation, because YOU WILL WORK where most people just try to skim & get by doing the bare minimum. You believe in blood, sweat & tears to get the job done. THIS sets you a part from many & never allow others to take this trait for granted…starting w yourself. (You and Venus 6H/Virgo are probably the most hardworking in work & relationships tbh). So PLEASE make sure that you are paid your dues. This is particularly true in your later part of life, after your Saturn return. You may have encountered/are encountering a lot of BS in your 20s & early 30s…hang in there love. You are just paying off some sort of karmic debt. But if you follow Saturn’s instructions, work hard & remained focused, you will be rewarded past your wildest dreams. You understand what REAL love is about once you fully evolve. This unevolved Venus can be materialistic & shallow, but if you learn the lessons Saturn is giving, you get the realest love of them all!

(Side note: Jupiter & Venus are the two planets most associated with gift giving & generosity. However, it has been argued that Saturn is the best give giver of all the planets. Why? Because Saturn’s gifts are long lasting! They may not be the biggest or the prettiest, but Saturn’s gifts will bring long-term abundance rather than temporary joy. If you have heavy 10H/Capricorn/Saturn placements in your chart, you have a really good shot to have come into the life w hardships, but die overcoming so many obstacles in the lap of luxury or a prosperous farm! Define what abundance means to you, work hard at it everyday, endure & have patience & you WILL reach your mountain top!)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn to cherish relationships & be cherished, while maintaining stability, balance & discipline. Because after all, that’s what love is all about!

✨Venus in the Eleventh House

Frozen- Elsa (I know she’s a queen, but hey)

“When the newly crowned Queen Elsa accidentally uses her power to turn things into ice to curse her home in infinite winter, her sister Anna teams up with a mountain man, his playful reindeer, and a snowman to change the weather condition.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Eleventh house is all about bonding, friendship & freedom. If you have Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, know that you ALWAY stand out in the crowd. Growing up, you may have felt outcast, or marched to the beat of your own drum. You are certainly one of a kind. The two extremes of this Venus can manifest with either having a lot friends & being extremely popular, or not having many friends at all until later in life. This is due to Saturn’s Co-rulership with Rahu/North Node for this sign in Vedic tradition— Saturn being the planet of restriction & delay. Because your perception of friendships is one that is very deep, understanding & open, while most people are superficial, you may find it hard to take light relationships seriously. At times, you may come off as cold & distant to those you care about the most, but you need solitude from time to time, even though many things will most likely need your attention. The reason there is so much emphasis on friendships here is because you are most likely to turn friends into lovers. You need to be comfortable w people enough to be your authentic self in order to consider any other kind of relationship. The beauty of this is, you allow others to be there most authentic self too.

You can be an outspoken partner. Unique & irreplaceable. Because you value friendship, you treat your lovers like friends. This could be a good thing & this can be a bad thing depending on who your partner is. You could be slow to open up to people & be friends with someone for yeeeeaaarrrss before you even consider them a romantic partner. This can be infuriating to people trying to pursue you, because your default mode is the friend zone. However, unlike other placements, w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, this is nothing personal. You like to feel safe in your relationships & safe guard your need for freedom. You don’t like to feel bogged down in any way shape or form. Chances are, you’re not the most lovey dovey person in the world, but you are an awesome listener & don’t judge others for how they chose to live their lives or express themselves. In fact, you can be so non-judgmental & open, you may be interested in polyamorous or different kinds of relationship than the status quo. You like to be free as a bird and expect your lovers to be the same. You wouldn’t do well w someone who needs constant attention…you value your independence & cherish it in others while in partnerships— romantic or business.

Elsa in Frozen is a prime example of how this Venus can show up in the Disney world. Elsa was gifted with magnificent powers of being able to make ice & snow! At first, she was thrilled, but once she almost killed Anna (oops!), she turned away from her powers, trying to hide the very thing that makes her powerful & unique. You could mirror this in your own life at times. You most likely have some really interesting qualities about you that are special & even rare! But sometimes your “powers” can make you feel isolated & in turn fearful to be who you are. As Elsa’s powers grew stronger, her will to suppress them grew stronger as well, only causing an emotional outburst (Rahu/North Node), that accidentally causes an eternal winter. Feeling like she’s doomed herself & everyone around her, she goes into a self-imposed exile, leaving her sister to go on a journey to get her to calm down, end the storm & ultimately accept who she is, inside & out!

It is worth noting the close bond Elsa and her sister have, because the 11H also rules older siblings. Anna had a lot of love for Elsa & didn’t understand why she chose to push her away. Anna did everything she could in order to make her sister see the beauty in herself & in her gifts, until Elsa was comfortable enough with herself to come back into society. Are there ways that you have mirrored this in the past? Can you think of something that makes you “too cool for school” & you’d rather hide away instead of put yourself in a position to be rejected?

Through Frozen, you can see that it is BEST to accept & love yourself for everything that you are! 11H/Aquarius is energy is always misclassified as being detached and aloof, but that couldn’t be the further from the truth. As we can see, Elsa has emotions, extremely powerful emotions at that, she was just afraid of them, so she thought it would be best to keep them to herself— until she stuffed them down so long, her emotions became unrecognizable, chaotic & uncontrollable. You more than any other sign are capable of the most dramatic & destructive outburst. Whereas 4H/Cancer placements are emotional all the time…it comes as no surprise when they have their breakdowns. YOU, however, tend to keep a level head, so when you snap. YOU. SNAP. So you have to be mindful of this placement to not become the Ice Queen, freezing everyone out in fear of hurting someone or yourself. Getting hurt is a part of life. It’s all about how you handle it when “bad” things come along. Do you Let it Go & isolate yourself, or do you define what makes you unique and make snow cones for everyone instead? The decision is yours. This Venus placement can make or break your feelings/place in society.

This film is a great depiction of the highs & lows that can come w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius. At times, you are magical & ethereal which makes you interesting & unpredictable. But other times you can be volatile, causing you to want to isolate yourself or be isolated from others. Once you learn how to control your gifts & understand that you are just a wild card (lol) AND find friends/lovers who support you, you will be unstoppable & be able to do magnificent things. As you age, you will learn to love the public more & the public will love you. You will be able to offer such interesting insight to the greater conscious, spreading a message of love, acceptance & independence! Like Elsa, who didn’t have a singular Prince trying to win her hand in marriage, your duty for love is to the masses. After all, you have a Kingdom to run! It can be lonely at the top, but the top has the best view!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a person w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius your lover expects FREE-DOM, so baby, you’re gunna have to let it ring! As stated above, this placement values friendships over everything else. This requires a certain level of patience that other partners may not need. The beauty of this combination is he will be a loyal & understanding partner once you take the time to understand his individual corks. Else technically didn’t have a Prince Charming, & when this movie came out, it was a really big deal! This was the first Disney Princess movie that wasn’t centered around love (another point for being unique & breaking expectations). Venus in the 11H/Aquarius is one of the least “love” centered partnerships. Meaning, this Venus doesn’t so much deal w one on one relationships, but rather relationships w the masses & love relationships that aren’t romantic— like sister to sister relationships or fraternity/sorority for just a few examples. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying they won’t be your knight in shining armor, but this may not be their biggest priority in life. They may date & explore, but how their friends show up is more important than fleeting romances. This is something to keep in mind as you date a Venus in 11H/Aquarius, they may prefer being alone, & again, it is NOTHING personal to you. You may feel as if they are constantly focused on other things & not prioritizing you. Always remember, 11H is opposite of 5H, the tradition house of Leo. Leo is “me me me”, so Aquarius is “we we we”. A Venus in the 11H lover will feel like world hunger is more important than spending Valentine’s Day with you.

This can manifest as a very complex man, with mood swings & an unpredictable temperament— hence why it is important to give this lover freedom. Chances are, because they’ve spent time in isolation, they know themselves better than anyone else…so when they need some space, give them space. Although this lover can be romantic, don’t expect rose pedals every night when you come to bed. They care more about intellect & conversations & helping the world than holding hands. This is a masculine sign for Venus. You would be better off volunteering at the local soup kitchen for a date rather than going to a luxurious roof top bar. This lover is far from superficial and carries a disdain for anyone who he presumes is shallow. Venus in the 11H/Aquarius could be one of your best friends in life. Even though they may be a little off beat, they will support & encourage you to be your best self & to never shy away from your gift & talents, loving who you are!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, you bring out the rebelliousness in your partners. 11H energy is the rebel, & so there will almost always be something different about your partnerships that causes your lovers to rebel against society in someway. It could be different cultures, religion, socioeconomic status etc…But trust, you are such a dream come true for people, they won’t mind jumping over hoops to be w you. Because the 11H is the house of wish fulfillment & gains, you bring a certain level of luck to your relationship. You may notice that your partners start doing better in life after hooking up w you, so yeah, you’re one special someone. You may find that some of your long-term relationships take a lot of twist & turns— running hot & cold. Go w the flow as much as you can, because Saturn is involved in this placement, your long-standing relationships will be tied to some sort of karma. You came to learn lessons about love & friendships, so forgiveness & understandings will be major factors in any of your serious relationships. Since this is a fixed sign, you have to mindful not to get too stuck in your ways. This placement can also indicate long-distance relationships as well or relationships that happen over the internet. 11H is the house of technology, so you could very well meet your mate online, or have relationships that are completely virtual at times. The more comfortable you become w the idea of having unique relationships that may not be understood by the outside world, the easier it will be to accept any relationships you are in. It is not going to be like anything else or everyone else’s relationships so quit while you’re ahead and don’t compare it to others. Now, a little warning that comes w this placement as well, is the fact that your friendships could play a significant part in any of your relationships. Be weary of his dynamic because sometimes friends (and siblings) can be overly protective of you & bring negative energy to your partnerships. Friends may feel like they are in competition between you and your loved ones— just learn how to balance the two! And on the flip side, don’t make your lover your best & only friend. Continue to strive & get to know people, you will be doing yourself & your relationships a disservice by isolating yourself further from society. People may not think Aquarius energy & love go together, but it truly depends on how you look at it. Most people come w high expectations in relationships & once they feel like they aren’t being met in some way, the relationship goes haywire, Aquarius energy doesn’t react that way. In fact, this energy is understanding & allows people to make their own choices instead of nagging w demands. With the right partner, this placement can possess the romance of a lifetime! As stated about in the “For Him” section, you may also be more likely to put your societal obligations ahead of your one on one relationships. At times, this can cause problems, so balance balance balance your need to help everyone around you, will the needs of your partner for some intimacy. You can’t be 100 places at once. Prioritize alone time with your partner if you have a lifestyle that causes you to be involved with larger groups— quality time is an important part of maintaining a relationship & you may need a reminder more than most.

What You Bring to the Table: Independence, Friendships, Loyalty & Originality

How to Negotiate: You should always remember that you are one of kind! You are rare & NO ONE can replace you! There are no two 11H/Aquarius placements that are alike, that’s why this placement can be so difficult to categorize. Because you are an Original, never EVER be treated like a copy-cat. Have confidence that there will won’t be another like you & don’t hang on to any relationship or partnerships that try to put you in a box—it’s not gunna happen!!! Don’t be afraid to walk away, because the love that you bring is unlike anything or anyone else…they will most likely come crawling back. You can always use your laid-back nature as an advantage as well. People will love to chase you because you seem so unbothered— however try not to make people chase forever. Like you, people do get bored. With this placement, more than any other placement, you may need to fake it until you make it. Meaning, because you can be so detached, you may have to pretend to care about things that you don’t care about just to let your partner know that you are still interested. You can go ghost for days, weeks & months and not realize it, so it is imperative for you to actively demonstrate your love to those you care about. Don’t get so caught up in your own world that you forget about the people who love and care about you. Stay somewhat grounded. Again, be confident that you will be one of the coolest lovers that any of your partners has ever been with & you will never walk away from the table empty handed.

You Venusian Soul Contract: To balance your uniqueness, retrained emotions & need for freedom within relationships in order to feel accepted by those you care about most , while maintaining one on one relationships even w bigger responsibilities to the public.

(Think of this placement like being a celebrity… & this placement can be an indication for fame as well. How are celebrities able to balance their public image & their personal lives? How often to Zendaya and Tom Holland actually get to sit down and cuddle up? Not often enough, I’m sure. Even if you aren’t star status, you may feel this dynamic play out in your significant relationships).

✨Venus in the Twelfth House

Princess Jasmine- Aladdin

“A kindhearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Twelfth House is all about the spiritual side of love & what can’t be seen by the naked eye. If you have Venus in the 12H/Pisces, you are the hopeless romantic of the zodiac. You see straight through to people’s souls, bringing to the surface their most inner selves. Although this placement is exalt, it doesn’t mean that your love life is at all easy. In fact, you may really struggle in love because your expectations can be RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. Meaning, because you see the trueness in people, if they don’t see trueness in themselves, well then, what are you looking at? You have a habit of projecting the best qualities onto people & can ignore some of the things that would be troublesome to others. THIS ISN’T ALL YOUR FAULT THOUGH, people also make sure to put on the best versions of themselves around you because they want to impress you so badly. I’m sure you’re beautiful in your own special way. Your eyes can be one of your strongest features because they are the window to the soul— & since you have a pure soul, it’s reflected in the way you look at people. 12H/Pisces energy is traditionally ruled by the planet Jupiter in Vedic astrology, so you there could be strong influences in your relationships which are beyond your control. There could be distance, cultural difference, &/or religious factors that play a significant role in your most long term relationships. This placement is also most likely to give up worldly pleasure/gains & “love” to pursue more religious endeavors. This is the placement most likely to become a nun or priest. Like I said, your expectations can be so high to see good in people & in your lovers, Jesus Christ may be the only figure who meets your idealistic standards. (Just an example! Not trying to exclude other religions).

You may also have a theme of loss of love. Because the 12H is the house of loss & escape, you may lose significant lovers, but it will always trigger spiritual growth for you. Relationships are so deeply spiritual for you, you’ll experience relationships other people can only dream of. There is a higher vibration you require in love, that most people will not have the experience needed to satisfy your desires for the all encompassing love your soul needs. You may be inclined to give up all your monetary possessions, or on the contrary, you may want all the rubies, diamonds & pearls the world can offer. Either way, you will never be satisfied w just the material things in life & you will always yearn for something deeper & other worldly, even if the world is at your fingertips. This placement can also bring a certain level of illusion & escapism, so you will have to be careful not to get wrapped up in addictions to drugs & excessive pleasure. Jupiter loves to have a good time & explore other realms through astro projections— this tendency to want to have outer body experiences can lead to some nasty habits that are hard to break. It is okay to explore! But be mindful that you will always need to come back to Earth at some point.

Princess Jasmine illustrates the effect of Venus in the 12H/Pisces beautifully. Although the story is centered around Aladdin, the local street rat, his entire journey is triggered by a fateful encounter w the Princess. The moment he lays eyes on her, he instantly falls in love & wants to impress her, not knowing that she isn’t what she appears to be. This is Venus in the 12H/Pisces at its finest. Illusion & projection is the foundation of the relationship. Princess Jasmine is in a disguise & Aladdin is just being bad running the streets, stealing bread, but obviously has a heart of gold. Aladdin then goes to find a magical lamp (Jupiter) to grant him 3 wishes; Enter Genie, who transforms poor old Aladdin to a wealthy (appearing) Prince. He then goes on to pretend he’s a Prince in order to impress Princess Jasmine & hopefully one day marry her. Cue, the magic carpet ride! And for what it’s worth, your love life might have a few magic carpet rides, if you catch my drift. You are most likely to experience many soulmate connections. (I believe you can have multiple Soulmates/Twin Flames/Karmics, there is no limit. It depends on how many your soul needs so you can fulfill your Karma & learn whatever lesson). This highlights the explorative nature of this placement as Aladdin begins to show her the wonder of the world that she was unable to see in the safety of her castle. You may find that in relationships in your life, you are attracted to people that are not in your same class system. But this dynamic is what is most alluring to you in the first place. Jasmine was used to living in the lap of luxury, while Aladdin had to learn street smarts in order to survive. His savviness was beyond sexy (I know it’s a kids movie, but Aladdin is fine as hell) to Jasmine who longed to escape the trappings of her material world to live amongst the common people.

Of course, it’s a Disney movie, so the illusion & magic all comes crashing down & the true identity of Aladdin is revealed, but his sweet soul still remains. Jasmine is faced w a decision and of course…because it’s a Disney movie, she picks Aladdin & they live happily ever after. In real life, this shows the inherent self-sacrificing nature of this placement. IRL, Jasmine would have to give up her crown if she were to marry so beneath her, & sometimes you may feel like you are meeting people in life who are somehow “beneath” you. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE BETTER, but you may attract people who are in the throws of chaos in their life & through a fated encounter w you, they are plunged into the depths of a spiritual awakening. You signify someone is on the brink of a magnificent breakthrough if you enter into their lives.

You bring a certain level of magic to your long-term relationships that challenges the nature of reality itself. This can be extremely powerful & extremely destructive. You of all signs have to be very careful that you are not seeing your lovers through rose tinted glasses— don’t get caught up in the glitz & glamour, while others of you will need to be more realistic in choosing your love partners. Yes the boy may have a beautiful heart, but if he is a lost soul, it is not your duty to help him find it.

This film depicts how rewarding this placement can be. Defying all the odds, exploring 2 totally foreign worlds & having a magically spiritual connection that knows no bounds is just the tip of the iceberg for Venus in the 12H/Pisces. On the other hand, it shows that lies/false perceptions can be the foundation of the relationship if not handled correctly. Make sure you are seeing people, places & things for what they are! Don’t fall for the okey-doke. There is no need to always be a sucker for a sob-story. You are meant to guide & teach partners through their Karma, not always go through the trenches w them. It is also worth noting that you can be a great artist & creative, depicting the highest ideals of love & love loss. Channel this energy into something positive rather than running away from feelings you can’t explain w words— feel them & turn them into art. On a final note, like 11H Venus, this Venus can deal a lot w isolation. You could go long periods of time being single. (Good time to work on artistic projects, use this time wisely) This is due to the fact that you are opposite of Virgo, the hermit in tarot, & isolation is required for you to learn some of the harder lessons about love & life. You could go from single single single, to entangled entangled entangled very quickly after YEARS of half-hearted relationships. Because of your outer & inner beauty, however, you will always attract people towards you, but since you don’t necessarily believe in superficial relationships, you will be less likely to settle w anyone less than a soulmate. (Again, you got some high standards, babes lol) This is a beautiful, but challenging placement, yet capable of producing the strongest of romances.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone w Venus in the 12H/Pisces, this lover expects a soulful connection. They want to be wrapped up in your essence until you become one w one another & ultimately one w the universe. As stated above, this lover has high expectations for their loves & may get caught in the loop of overly projected onto you, putting you a pedal stool & blinding themselves to the harsh reality that no matter how great you are, you are still human. Aladdin was mesmerized by Jasmine & did everything in his power to become what he THOUGHT Jasmine wanted, rather than getting know her first hand. Like lovers in your life, they may put on airs & appear to be something they are not, attempting to escape their true identity since you seem so magical. They could easily misrepresent themselves when it comes to dealing w money & finances, or just wanting to come across as a better person than what they actually are. Chances are this is subconscious, but it can also be manipulative so watch out. Withholding truth is a way to gain & maintain power. As long as you don’t know what they are hiding, they have control. Be smart. Pisces energy tends to deal w rejection— rejection from society & rejection of themselves. Aladdin is a great example, because being a poor boy for the wrong side of the tracks, he feels as if he’s been discarded by society as a whole & the only way to be seen and be taken seriously is to (fake-ly) amass an extreme amount of wealth. Venus in Pisces males can be downtrodden from a young age & could have certainly struggled w addictions/poverty, trying to escape their reality or just feel out of body…like a fish out of water, they will have a fascinating story. Due to this Venus being back in a feminine house, this male will value femininity but also want a level of chaos. Aladdin had a grand ole time keeping up the charade until he didn’t. This will be a lesson that this Venus placement can play out over and over again until they learn to love who they are, leave material & worldly pursuits behind & instead dedicate themselves to loving others and their own personal spiritual journey.

For Her: If you’re have Venus in the 12H/Pisces you bring out the dreamy side of your lovers. You seem to defy all earthly logic & float through life w a kind of mysticism that leaves others in awe. You may find it difficult to break out of people’s high expectations— as you feel people are looking through you rather than at you. Meanwhile, you, on the other hand, are able to see the deepest parts of others quicker than most. You are as intriguing as you are mysterious, seemingly like you stepped through some unknown portal. This can be a blessing & a curse, it’s all about how you interact w your spiritual self. The more spiritual you become, the easier it will be to attract the soulmate you are looking for. You want a relationship that goes deeper than the typical mundane day to day union & instead, meets you on a soul level. You are not always impressed by “things”, money & stuff, you’d rather have an emotionally present lover who takes you by the hand & leads you to the under world. This placement forces your partners to have to look at life through a different set of lenses as you introduce them to the darkest parts of their souls. 12H & 8H placements are very similar in the depths they create, w the 12H actually being “darker”. (You may want to read 8H Venus as well, because y’all are similar, but yours happens on an even more profound level, arguably. While 8H Venus introduces their partners to “God” (8H to 9H), you introduce your partners to themselves (12H to 1H)…see how that works?) Since you see so deeply into people, eventually there is no where for your lovers to run & hide, forcing them to shed their protective layers & reconcile their outer world w their inner selves. You will have such transformative relationships & transformed lovers. You act as a catalyst to their awakening & usually, send them on their way. This is can be a difficult placement to pin down as well. Because Pisces is mutable & fluid, you effortlessly guide through relationships & partnerships, particularly after you go through a VERY hard breakup. You go through the thick of it in love, to be light to your future loves. Just be careful not to get wrapped up in something that proves difficult to come out of. Like Jupiter represents, always look at the bigger picture. (Side note: you are probably excellent in bed, 12H deals w bed pleasure woot woot!)

What You Bring to the Table: Spirituality, Nothingness, Soulfulness & Illumination

How to Negotiate: You have a more passive approach when it comes to getting what you want. Your abilities to manifest are unparalleled, & you are filled w magic. Your relationship w Spirit has the potential to be so strong, that things tend to fall in place for you. Almost as if you keep a genie in your pocket! The trick w this placement is to master how you deal w loss. Things come & things go— you have to learn to go w the flow. You are not meant to hold on to any materialist things because you feel like you “need” them. That’s the catch. Once you feel like you need something or someone, you will almost always lose them. This is not to scare you, but to prepare you. This is the highest point of Venus, but its inherently contradictory. Love is not about owning items or owning people, it’s about letting the natural progression of life run things & following Spirit’s lead. You are the poster-child for what real love looks like, & real love is all about letting go & letting God, so to speak. Your happily ever after w certain partners, may not be in this life, but in the next. You are capable of the type of love that transcends space & time. Because we live in such a materialist world, it’s imperative to know that materials don’t define you. YOU define you. You may have all the gold & silver in the world, but it will mean nothing if you have no spiritual connection to the other world & also the willingness to let it go. This Venus placement is also meant to be very charitable. When you give things away (to the right causes) you will be rewarded greatly. The more giving/generous you are, the more you receive. But of course you know that! You’ve been working lifetime after lifetime after lifetime to understand this lesson!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To see love & the world for what they really are, gain a connection w spirit & love as hard as you can as long as you can without falling into the trap of escapism

Drop a fish 🐟 emoji because you are so abundant

With Love & Lust,

A-D 🖤💋

Author’s Notes: PHEW!!!!! Okay. This was by far the longest post I’ve made thus far & I pray you enjoyed it. Of course, shout out to my baby sister who talks these post out with me & helps organize my thoughts— without her, none of this would be possible. This one took over 25+ hours, but it was well worth it. I hope that you find this insightful. The meaning behind this post, and all my post for that matter, is so YOU can appreciate the type of *woman* that you are. We all come in different styles & flavors. There is no need to compete or judge another person for how they choose to express themselves. In order for you to be more confident in yourself, you should know what cards you’re playing with. I can’t tell you how much learning my love styles through astrology & tarot helped me become a better person even outside of love! That’s why I want to give back to the community that has given so much to me. I hope that after reading my post you feel more informed about yourself & feel a level of grace & ease as you make your way through life. Your soul contract is YOUR soul contract. Fulfill it to the best of your abilities. Love who you are. Love what you do. And then you’ll find it’s easier to love others & for others to love you!

(I want to take a moment to STRESS that I am not saying your worth is based on how other people perceive you. I’m saying the exact opposite. Once you know HOW other people perceive you, you can use that to your advantage. Don’t let onlookers define who you are, YOU define who you are, THEN you go out into the world, negotiating, making the necessary connections & developing & maintaining the relationships YOU deem adequate & conducive to YOUR personal growth. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND…OKAY?!!! This is really essential to the 1H/7H axis. I could (and should) do a post regarding this dynamic. If you are reading this w strong Libra/7H placements, this is probably an ongoing battle for you— “where do I end & my relationships begin?”. Maybe this can help you define that! As for everyone else, we all have this dynamic in our chart. Although we may not struggle w it as much, we still struggle. Some of us have been called selfish & self-centered, others of us have been called doormats & passive, some of us have been called a blend of both, passive aggressive….ALL of these labels are dealing w how you come across TO other people. None of these labels would exist if you existed alone. What would be the point? Doesn’t matter if you’re selfish…you’re the only self! I hope I’m bringing this point home. We need relationships to help learn & define ourselves, we wouldn’t be able to learn who we are without interacting with other people. Even if you don’t like interacting w other people, that’s still technically, how you engage w others…you see? I hope I’m making sense. I just don’t want people coming at me like I’m preaching we need relationships as if that’s a bad thing. We DO need relationships w other people or else we are nothing. It’s about having HEALTHY relationships. And THAT is why I do the things I do & write the things I write. Hence, this tangent. But think of developing relationships like this, as the old saying goes “if a tree falls in the forest & no one hears it, did it fall?”. If a human is born in a void & no one knows that human exist & that human doesn’t know other humans exist…does that human exist? Does it even know it’s human? You see? We get a lot of information comparing ourselves to our outside world. Only way you would know you’re an introvert is if you saw an extrovert. Okay, I think y’all are smart wonderful people, so I’m going to put the shovel down. I always try to define where I’m coming from so the article makes sense! lol Back to Venus)

Venus is the planet that governs our relationships. It governs our wealth & our relationship TO our wealth. This is why I thought it would be a fun look to see Venus through the lens of Disney Princesses! What’s more luxurious & wealth acquiring than MARRYING (7H) a Prince Charming?

Through the houses, we will see your soul contract when it comes to your relationships w astrology. We will be looking at how you can acquire wealth through your house placement as well, particularly when it comes to using your romantic/marriage commitments.

Disclaimer, I believe marriage is more of a business deal than anything else (7H). Can marriage be about love? YES! Absolutely! Of course…but is it also about business and positional power? Yes. Very much so. I don’t want to pass off a naive message. Click off now if you believe in fairytale romances (& you don’t have delusional Pisces in your chart lol jk jk, I’m a Venus in Pisces myself), because that’s not actually what this post is about. Marriage has been a way for woman to obtain power & divorce has been a way for woman to obtain wealth. In fact, back in the olden days…jk it still happens today, Woman were/are used for marriage as pawns to ascertain political power & diplomacy. Let’s say, if an emperor wants to acquire more land, but doesn’t want war (Mars), he could marry his daughter’s off instead (Venus). That’s more specifically what we are looking at in this post. The negotiation between “love”, “marriage” & “power”.

It is also worth noting that in a Male’s charts in traditional Vedic astrology, Venus is a signifier of the Male’s wife & girlfriends— kind of like “his type”. In a Female’s chart, however, Jupiter & Mars, speak about her husband & boyfriend, respectively. I find Venus to be likened more to a woman’s “love language” in a female chart…but again, that’s a VERY shallow understanding of the role of Venus here, but just attempting to give some context!

💋 What does this have to do with you?

This post is going to be a complex look at Disney Princesses to describe the type of relationships & contracts you have with your “Prince Charming(s)”. Here, you learn where your power lies in your relationships because of how your partner’s VIEW you & the role you are supposed to play in their lives. As stated in all my previous post, feminine energy is “negative” energy. All we are meant to do is RECEIVE & REFLECT the light of our “positive” masculine counterparts. As a woman, we show man the dark-side of the moon, engaging them w their own inner chaos & wild feminine energy. Venus in the houses as Disney Princess is meant to inspire, educate & activate your inner qualities of beauty & engagement. You can tell a lot about what a man expects in relationships through his Venus Sign— once you know it, you will know if you align w his expectations or not! That gives you the power to decide if you want to commit or not & how you want to commit! (Whew…this was a lot….lol)

The Post will be broken up by “For Him:/For Her:” You are meant to read both perspectives!

For Him will describe WHAT the Prince expects from the Princess.

For Her: will describe HOW the Princess shows up & contributes to his life.

Once you align his expectations & what you have to offer…you have the power to NEGOTIATE your role in the business of marriage & relationships! That’s what Venus is all about, baby cakes!

BE CREATIVE: Although this perspective is through the houses, you can read for your Venus’ Zodiac sign & your 7H ruler!

(Ex: If you have Aries in the 7H, you can read Venus in the 1H or if you have Sagittarius in the 7H, you can read Venus in the 9H…this is a flexible post!)

You can & should, if applicable, also read the “For Him” section about YOUR PARTNER’S Venus placement. This will give you some insight on your connection through their gaze!

⚠️ I do not want to offend ANYONE by using traditional gender pronouns. I am a cis-gender heterosexual female, so I am writing from the perspective I know best. I am NOT trying to say this is the only perspective that matters. I have included cis-woman, trans women & even drag queens as examples in this post. Please feel free to share any insights you have, no matter the gender, non-gender or perspective! I’m truly open & supportive. This is not an exclusionary post.

Special thanks to my baby sister, of course! She helps me more than y’all can ever know!!

Don’t plagiarize or copy my work. I work too long & too hard lol.

ON WITH THE SHOW 💋

💋 Venus in the First House

Mulan - Mulan

“To save her father from death in the army, a young maiden secretly goes in his place and becomes one of China's greatest heroines in the process.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the First House is all about honing masculinity & bringing out the masculinity in your partner. As a Venus in the First House native, you are courageous, adventurous & exceptionally hard to tame. Like Mulan, you may refuse to conform to traditional gender roles & you are not afraid to break any rules doing so. You will is strong & you will not be put out in a box. You are brave & force your lover’s/partners to do the same!

The First House is traditionally ruled by Mars & is home to Aries. The First house is also associated with the body, so to have Venus here means that you are a natural beauty (whether you think so or not) & can easily attract others towards you. This could make you quite promiscuous in the eyes of some, but daring & adventurous to others! You do you, boo! With time, you can really be in control of you sexuality— *cough cough*— I mean, negotiation skills. Because people tend to flow in & out of your life so easily, you learn a lot about human nature & what drives people’s desires. You of all combinations, in my opinion, can bring desire (Mars/1H/Aries) & Beauty (Venus) together in an extremely powerful way! (I believe Rihanna has Venus in the 1H as well…hard to do examples w houses bc birth times are funky)

When Mulan’s village was on the brink of war, her aging father was called to action. Although a great warrior in the past, Mulan knew that in his poor health, it would be unlikely for him to make it through battle. After FAILING her etiquette classes to be eligible for marriage (she’s a tomboy through & through), she disguised herself as her father & off she went to train for war. A bit awkward & quite goofy, she was seen as a disappointment to the General of the war. When the leader was about to send her home, she put on a face of determination & trained all night, making sure that she was strong enough to stay and fight. She became the first warrior, male or female, to complete a difficult challenge of strength! This highlights that 1H/Aries energy! She was not going to be defeated by anyone & wasn’t going to be told that she could not do something. If anything, the word “no” is what motivated her to dig her heels in! You could carry this same type of energy!

An additional observation I have w this placement/film is how Mulan was forced to hide her body because it would have given her true identity away. At times with this placement, you may feel the need to hide your body away because you feel it could attract unwanted attention in some way. Always do what you’re comfortable with, but never hide your body out of shame! Be comfortable! I’m a firm believer in, “if you got it, FLAUNT it!” You could fall on either extreme of this spectrum. You could be an exhibitionist at times, or very reserved.

By the end of the film, Mulan is the bravest of them all, after her identity is revealed, she is exiled from the military, but manages to still put her life on the life to finish the war, finally defeating the Huns & bringing peace to her town!

With Venus in the 1H/Aries, you understand more than others, that war brings peace. If you don’t stand up for what you believe in & overpower your bullies, then you will never find a solution or be taken seriously. Not you! You call out injustice, even if it means ruffling some feathers. You stand up for what you believe is right! Like Mulan, you are not afraid to get down & dirty if you have to in oder to bring back peace to your life & those around you. The best part is, you don’t have to do anything but walk in a room for people to notice this about you! It’s just your aura.

Mulan was very active, much like yourself. She could hardly sit still when it came to doing her training & much preferred to be out on the battle field with “the boys”. In a sense, she actually HID behind masculinity in order to be accepted. If you aren’t the “beauty queen” trope, you could easily fall into the tomboy trope. EVEN SO, even if you are more masculine presenting, the right person will always see through your front & see the beauty & divinely feminine energy you truly possess. At the end of the day, what’s more womanly than protecting your aging father from certain death? What’s braver than putting your life on the line for someone that you love and care about? THIS is what Venus in the First House is all about!

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus 1H/Venus in Aries, they expect their lovers to be free and spontaneous! They love a great chase, but don’t want to chase too long. This lover will require constant stimulation, but if you manage to keep their attention, you have fierce undying love & loyalty! Mars is the soldier of the planets…this lover will go to war for you & may expect the same in return. Like Captain/General Li Shang (voiced by BD Wong, the Law & order dude, I had NO idea, how cool), he first saw Mulan as the weakest & most vulnerable in the pack. Shang was a tough lover to crack. Very one-track, his only focus was to win. This may be something you notice in your lovers/partners. All in all, because of Mulan’s hard work, dedication, discipline & ultimate show of bravery…he ended falling deeply in love with her. (Awwwwwwwwwwww…..) And they lived happily ever after. Shang was forced to change his entire perception of woman in the process, because Mulan truly gave him a run for his money.

For Her: If you have Venus in the First House/Aries, you are meant to bring out the fierceness in your lovers. Your contract is to literally “make a man” out of your partners. You will either attract SUPER masculine men, who love your feistiness & want the challenge, OR you’ll attract more feminine men who could feel intimidated by you & feel the need to be in competition w you because you stand so firmly on your own two feet! With the 1H & Aries being Mars ruled, you could find yourself in competition with you lovers— not the diplomatic kind of relationship we talked about before. You HAVE to be w the man in charge! You need, crave & desire that Big D Energy…because honestly, you caring it yourself. No balls required. And if you date anything less than that, you will trigger the men you attract/attracted to you to WANT to be in charge. You force them to realize they are “weak” in some aspects of their lives. They will either respond w challenging themselves to step up to the plate OR the will get left behind, because 1H/Aries energy waits for NO ONE.

What You Bring to the Table: Pure masculine power, drive & bravery!

How to Negotiate: Your power move will always be “I can walk away & stand on my own at ANY time”. You are more than willing to walk out from any negotiating table if you feel your needs are not being met or your worth is not being valued. You encourage partners to tap into their own masculinity in ways they may have never done before— truly “making a man” out of people. Your best tactic to challenge the status quo & not settle for anything less than ideal. It’s also very powerful that you are not afraid to break the rules if it means standing up for what you believe in. This makes you quite the force to be reckoned with as you develope relationships & business deals! (Use this gift wisely). Like Mulan, you will not be confined to what society says is “womanhood”, you attract the strongest & the best of men, & you look bloody good doing it! Camo or lipstick, you are down for the cause!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To use your own inner strength to bring out the strength in others.

💋 Venus in the Second House

Aurora - Sleeping Beauty

“After being snubbed by the royal family, a malevolent fairy places a curse on a princess which only a prince can break, along with the help of three good fairies.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Second House is all about luxury, beauty, arts & the sensual pleasures of life. Venus is more than comfortable here, being as Venus is the traditional ruler of the 2H & Taurus, making this placement extremely feminine. As a Venus in the 2H native, you have refined taste & beauty, great “taste” in food & culture & truly have the power to be a great homemaker in a beautiful home! However, like Aurora, your beauty can become a source of envy & jealousy, leaving you in a prison of designer bags & golden ceilings.

The Second house is associated w possessions, owning & tradition. If you are a 2H native, tradition could be very important to you. (Think religion, cultural obligations etc…) Education could have also been a huge emphasis as you were growing up & you were most likely expected to keep up certain appearances. You may have been born into some luxury or higher class family. If not, you could aspire to obtain wealth later in life— specifically through marriage. No one can compete w you when it comes to setting the standards of beauty trends & cultural influences. You believe in and appreciate the classics— like the little black dress or the power of red lipstick. You are like Aphrodite in the flesh when people grace your presence. You stand out, but as stated earlier, you are more likely to stay in the home & draw your lovers towards you, opposed to chasing after them yourself.

Your beauty is quite natural! Sure, you could wear make-up & expensive clothing, but you posses a genuine timeless beauty that doesn’t really need much enhancement.

Aurora, born a princess, had a curse placed on her out of jealousy & spite. Her beauty was known throughout the land, & her Prince Charming fought a DRAGON to be with her because she was such a jaw-dropping beauty! You have this gift! I want to draw the parallels that Tauruses are known to love sleeping…a sensual pleasure, of course…& how it ends up working in Aurora’s favor! This type of Venusian energy is so secure in itself, it really doesn’t have to do much to attract interested lovers. This is Venus in its most natural feminine form. In my opinion, this is one of the best placements for Venus, aspects willing— as long as you don’t fall into the trap of over identifying w your beauty or allowing others to let your beauty dehumanize you. (I know, I know, that’s literally all I’m taking about in this post, but beauty fades, it’s character that remains forever.) Pretty privilege is a privilege, so be sure to use it wisely & capitalize while you can!

Lastly, I want to draw emphasis to the kiss of true love that breaks the curse. To kiss someone is one of the sensual pleasures 2H Venus is privy too. Essentially, in order to get Aurora out of this deep sleep, all of her senses had to be invigorated by true love’s kiss. If this isn’t 2H romance, I don’t know what is! You know how to stimulate your lover’s & your lover’s know how to stimulate you. Plus, you’re probably a great kisser. This is a sweet deal for everyone involved if you ask me.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 2H/Taurus, they expect their lover’s to be trophy wives. Because the 2H controls owning, you guessed it, this placement can teeter on the verge of this man seeing their partner as more of a possession & object rather than a person. A more positive take is that, this Prince Charming wants everyone to know that in order to get their partner, they had to have fought hard and/or worked hard to obtain such a decadent beauty. They need to feel as if their lover is a prize after all their hard work & efforts. This lover will require you to keep up appearances & play to more traditional gender roles. (If you are not this type of girl, then stay away from this type of man. 2H/Taurus are NOTORIOUSLY stubborn…so don’t think you’ll be able to convince them otherwise, just my warning.) Prince Phillip was enamored w Aurora the MOMENT he laid eyes on her. He was determined to get to her no matter how long & how hard he had to fight to win her hand in marriage— making him a true King. This man, literally fought a Dragon witch lady w a sword, just so he could kiss her. How romantic! I would love for a man to fight a dragon to the death for me…that’s real love right there— Aurora & her beauty being the ultimate prize!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 2H/Taurus, you are meant to bring out the sophistication & intrigue in your lovers. As stated above, you ARE a catch. In a way, you are a status symbol. The partners you attract are meant to work for your beauty & charm. Your hand in marriage or even in dating, doesn’t come free or easily. You are more likely to end up in long-term commitments & understand the importance of the saying “slow & steady wins the race”. You believe love can take time & like Aurora, you don’t mind waiting for your Prince Phillip to come & rescue you from the wickedness of the world, all while taking a nice long nap. Let him do all the hard work. You want to feel protected by your partners due to your extremely feminine energy. You are meant to bring out courage & worthiness in your lovers more than anything else & in return you give them stability & status.

What You Bring to the Table: Beauty, grace, class & status. You turn Princes to Kings!

How to Negotiate: Honestly, you could sleep through the negotiation process…lol. In all seriousness, your presence & how you grew up, or how you carry yourself as an adult, is really enough to put you in the princess category. Your beauty, inner & outer, is enough to make lovers want to jump the broom as soon as they lay eyes on you. Your power is patience. You will sit at the table, no matter how long it takes, until you have the contract/commitment you are looking for. You know that if someone really wants to prove their love to you, that could take time. Your lovers will expect nothing but the best from you & you will expect to sit in the lap of luxury, no questions asked.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To use your outer & inner beauty to secure long-term stability & status.

💋 Venus in the Third House

Rapunzel - Tangled

“The magically long-haired Rapunzel has spent her entire life in a tower, but now that a runaway thief has stumbled upon her, she is about to discover the world for the first time, and who she really is” — Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Third House is all about learning & exploration. As a Venus in the 3H native, you are curious & quite adventurous. You always carry a child-like wonder towards the world & aren’t afraid of getting into trouble or challenging gender norms. This is a masculine energy for Venus, so love happens to be more cerebral than lovey dovey in the 3H. This is not inherently a bad thing, but there is always a certain level of detachment when it comes to your love affairs & business contracts. You could find yourself flying from lover to lover, job to job, having a “I’m here for a good time, not a long time” kind of vibe. Own it! You love learning, reading, taking in information & are usually quite talkative. You may have a gift for writing, speaking or acting!

Rapunzel was locked away in a castle for years & years & years, her only company being her adoptive (or abductive) mother. She learned how to entertain herself, but grew bored of being up in that ivory tower all alone. Once her Prince Charming made an appearance, she was off to the races along side him to explore the world her mother had kept her from! Although you may not have been locked in an ivory tower your whole life, let’s hope not…yikes…you share that same wonder of the world as Rapunzel! You are daring & devious. Knowledgeable, but always yearning for more. You may never really grow out of child-like naivety, because fully maturing is boring! Why grow up, when you could be a kid forever?! (If I wasn’t focused on Disney Princesses, Peter Pan would be the perfect Disney character to demonstrate 3H/Gemini energy. Even Captain Hook was running away from that clock, a metaphor for aging). Like Rapunzel, sometimes this can work against you. You may find yourself attracting people & partners that perpetually treat you like a child— shielding you away from other things in life. When it comes to this particular house placement— I think the 3H/9H or Gemini/Sagittarius axis is hard to ignore. This is the relationship of the student/teacher dynamic. All of your real connections are meant to be an exchange of knowledge & culture. You show up more as the student, but a good teacher is always a greater student, never ceasing to learning. So when it comes to this axis in particular, it has quite a unique exchange of energy & dynamic. At times, Repunzel’s childishness proved to be quite crafty & although unpredictable, quite useful when needed. Her Prince had no choice but to watch & learn as her quick-wittedness proved to be most successful in times of need. In the end, her Prince Charming (well, conman, in this case) fell in love with her love for exploration. This Venus placement is about overall adventure & a somewhat daring relationship! We Stan a good Bonnie & Clyde style relationship w this Venus house placement! Thick as thieves, but who is thieving who is always the question w tricky 3H/Gemini.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 3H/Gemini, they crave constant stimulation. Like 1H/Aries, this partner refuses to be bored & have no issue walking away if they become so. They expect their partner’s to explore the world w them & be as social & charismatic as they are. They are HIGHLY attracted to intelligence, usually over physical appearance & don’t take kindly to shallow individuals stuck in the material world. They don’t expect their partner’s to be experts in any given subject, but they love, adore & revere a lover who is always willing to learn & keep up with conversation. Flynn Ryder is charming, likable, witty, & oh yeah...a trickster bandit thief. Perfect example of a male Venus in the 3H/Gemini. Repunzel took him captive & forced him to guide her through the world. In this case, Ryder is acting like a teacher to a fresh soul. He’s been jaded to the world around him while she’s just now seeing the world for the first time! This dynamic is invigorating to him! This is essential to any partner w this placement— they have to feel like their life experiences are valued & never-ending. This placement is also very likely to have an age gap within their long-term connection. Although not the most responsible or stable of partners, it’s a requirement for their relationships to be spontaneous & they have to learn a thing or two along the way. If a lover can’t offer them that, they need not apply.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 3H/Gemini, you are meant to bring out the inquisitive & care-free side of your lovers. You are always either teaching them new things about the world, or introducing them to interesting places, peoples or things! There is a natural charm in you demeanor, & no matter how you look, once people hear you speak or share your ideas, wise people will want to listen. You also challenge your partners to push the boundaries outside of their comfort zone. Following the 2H/Taurus, which is ALL abut the comfort zone, you, like Repunzel, are meant to break away from the familiar & live outside the bounds of expectations, bringing your partners along for the ride! You could find yourself in all kinds of “entanglements” w different genders, classes & backgrounds. You are, like your fellow Air sign, Aquarius, never follow love w you heart, you follow it w your mind & intellect. This can lead to some once in a lifetime adventures. You are one of the more difficult placements to pin down, but to the right & wisest lover, you’ll make an excellent companion though this wild ride we call life— always making the most out of any situation, using nothing more than the power of your voice & mind. Sexy!

What You Bring to the Table: Wit, Intellect, Charisma Child-like Wonder & Adventure!

How to Negotiate: You, of all placements, have to be careful not to be the trickster because you are the ultimate negotiator. Think of a child & how unreasonable they can be at times! That’s you! Hehe, all jokes aside. You understand the value of time & what you will & won’t do. You’re willing to try almost anything once, but if it’s not for you, no one can get you a second time! There is magic in this when you show up to the table. You can leverage your quick mindedness & ability to adapt in any situation— almost as if you were a shapeshifter. If they can keep you, who wouldn’t want you on their team?!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To inspire & encourage your partners to always be a student of life & seek out adventure, no matter what age!

💋 Venus in the Fourth House

Snow White - Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs

“Exiled into the dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother, a princess is rescued by seven dwarf miners who make her part of their household.” — Internet Movie Database (imbd)

Venus in the Fourth House is all about motherly quality & tranquil happiness in the home. As a Venus in the 4H native, you are very nurturing when it comes to your love affairs &/or could have a business in home-care. You prefer to have a more traditional home life & could easily find joy in homemaking— cooking, cleaning, & caring for family members. This usually comes from a space of genuine love & duty (your opposite sign in Capricorn of course!). Quite soft in nature, you woo your lovers w an understated demeanor & give off a “girl next door”…or “M.I.L.F.” vibe if you’re already a mom. One thing that can come as a draw back to this Venus placement, is the need for constant validation, making you a lover that is hard to please. This is because you give so much to your partners, friends & family, you can feel very deeply when that love is not returned & sadly, drained…but I always say…your placement, is your placement. There are 11 other ways people can view love/relationships/business. Always be sure to remember that your way is not the only way to show affection. Regardless, this can be a very comfortable place for Venus because it is back in a feminine sign.

Snow White is a lovely example of a Venus in the Fourth House because she was able to win the hearts of not 1, not 2, not 3, but 8 men! (The seven dwarfs, plus the Prince) & managed to piss off the Queen by simply being her sweet, innocent, caring & beautiful self. Once she was banished to the forest, she was able to keep her stay & earn protection from the dwarfs because she performed “motherly” duties so well! They couldn’t believe it when the Queen came and tried to kill her, YET again! Mind you, the first attempt of the Queen to kill Snow White was only thwarted because the OG Knight that was sent to kill her thought she was too beautiful & sweet to be killed! This is YOU! Your energy may invite people who are bitterly jealous of your loving spirit & find ways to make you unhappy, but it never stops you from sharing love to anyone willing to receive it. Plus, people could come to your rescue when you are persecuted & that’s a lovely gift to have.

This can be seen as more of a “Damsel in Distress” type Venus. Because let’s be real…4H placements/Cancers are ALWAYS in distress. (I kid, I kid, I’m a western Cancer rising & a Vedic Moon Atmakarka. I say this with love, but you know how Cancers are…don’t act shy now). Anyone from a Prince & seven dwarfs (I hope that’s not offensive…Little people?) will want to act courageously for you in order to make sure you are out of harms way— the way a child wants to protect their mother! Let’s never forget how “Yo Mama” jokes are the ULTIMATE sign of disrespect. Venus in the 4H/Cancer demands a certain type of respect! Snow White’s tale of woes & triumphs illustrate the ups, downs & overall kindness & good hearted nature of this placement.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone w Venus in the 4H/Cancer, they expect an all encompassing & traditional love life. Naturally very possessive (think of a crab), they want to come home to the same routine, a clean home & a home cooked meal. This lover might be quite moody as well, & they expect their lover’s to kiss their boo-boos if they’ve had a bad day & read them a bed-time story. This may be one of the most sensitive places for Venus, particularly in a Male’s chart. They most likely have a REALLY close relationship w their mother’s or a REALLY not close one, so they crave that type of attention in their romantic partnerships as well. A “mama’s boy”, if you will. This Venus tends to negate the rational mind & act on emotions. Florian, Snow White’s Prince Charming, was amazed by her the moment he laid eyes on her. (I’m projecting a little here, but bare w me, this movie came out in the 30s). It’s almost as if he has an empathic connection to her. He saw her & KNEW that was the wife & the mother of his children! He came right in the knick of time to kiss her & break the wicked curse her stepmother put on her. (Mommy issues, right?) I cannot stress enough how much this Venus wants a simple Homelife. This might be the most likely placement to live by the motto: Happy Wife, Happy Life.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 4H/Cancer, you are meant to nurture & somewhat cater to you lovers & your family members. You have the potential to be one of the most doting wives because you truly believe in family values. You seek to comfort your partner when they are in despair, & you expect the same in return. I want to take a moment to point out that this Venus placement can also lead to YOU being a mistress. (Crazy, right?!) But because Cancerian energy can be so soft, and a place for peace, you could attract lover’s that are in an unsavory relationship & seek you & your love out for solitude & soliloquy. BE AWARE! People WILL take advantage of your kind nature if you let them. This could be tied back to your relationship w your own mother, perhaps you hate to dote on her for affections, so now you believe that is the only way to receive love….but that is another post for another day. Anywho, you are one of the ultimate “wifey” placements. You just give off that vibe of marriage material. People want to come home to you, build a family w you & lay their head on your (probably) nice bosom.

What You Bring to the Table: Love, Nurturing & a Genuine Kindness/Thoughtfulness that arguably cannot be rivaled by any other placement.

How to Negotiate: You of all signs, need to SET BOUNDARIES!!!!! Okay, NEGOTIATE! You are a “wife” to your core & you deserve a ring. Do not & I repeat, DO NOT freely give love to someone who has no intention of giving you the same in return. YOU DESERVE A RING!!! Don’t you FORGET IT!!! I highly recommend you date Earth Moon signs (not Virgo, stay away from them…lol, my opinion, my opinion) or Earth Venus placements & houses. In order for you to get the best deals in life, you need to be building from a strong & steady foundation. How can you be a homemaker w no official home? Do not settle! Do not settle! Do not settle! Sacrifice & give to your children unconditionally, not no grown-man. Okay? Not everyone deserves the genuine love you have to offer.

(I’m sorry I’m getting a little preachy here, but I have seen in my line of work, doing personal tarot readings, toooooo many cancer/4H placements settle for being in the dark in relationships w emotionally unavailable or physically unavailable (because they are married) people. Know your worth baby cakes! Not everyone in the Zodiac is as loving & thoughtful as you are. You really will lay everything on the line for your personal relationships…think twice. That’s all I ask. You don’t want to be unhappy because you are loving someone who is not loving you back! My two cents…)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To love unconditionally those who unconditionally love you & provide a safe, nurturing & beautiful home to those who are deemed worthy! (Make ‘em work for it! You could have 8 men sniffing up behind you!)

Drop a baby 👶🏽 emoji because anyone would love to be cared for by you!

💋 Venus in the Fifth House

Merida - Brave

“Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.” Internet Movie Database (imbd)

Venus in the Fifth House is all about drama & red hot passion! As a Venus in the 5H native, you are such a dynamic lover & usually HIGHLY creative. You can act, you can sing, you can write, you can paint, you can do a one-person show! (Personally, I think that Leo is the most creative placement. Since Venus is the planet of the arts, I consider this an exalt placement) You stand out in a room because of your fashion, but mostly because of your overall presence. You have a royal air about you. A certain “you can’t sit with us” attitude to a lover who is not on the same level as you. Children could also play a huge part in your life. You are a fierce protector & certainly carry that lioness energy when it comes to serving & providing for you kids, or children in general. This is a Boss placement for Venus, putting it back in Masculine energy. You will not back down from challenges & love and demand loyalty over anything else.

Merida is a great example of Venus in the 5H for a couple of reason. One, she is ACTUALLY royalty. She is expected to carry on the tradition of the Royal Court— get married, have kids, and die…like a good Princess. However, Merida has other plans, attempting to avoid that “lovely” life, she ends up putting a curse on her mother, turning her into a bear. This brings me to my second reason she’s a great example for this placement, the dynamic w her mother. You, like Merida, might have a mother of high standing. I always think certain Leo placements are more subversive. The reasons why Leo’s need to be seen, is because they usually have felt UNSEEN in childhood. Let’s say you always dreamed of being an under water basket weaver, but your mother always encouraged you to pursue a more traditional path, like marriage because under water basket weaving is unreasonable. Or in Merida’s case, archery. There is always a level of insecurity w Leo energy because deep down, they feel as if they haven’t been able to shine in other aspects of their lives. This is because 5H/Leo is directly behind 4H/Cancer— so the mother/daughter/son dynamic will be played out in the 5H. In Brave, this is the core of the story, & this placement calls for bravery, breaking out of the mold & pursuing a life that YOU want to pursue, regardless of what society or your mother thinks.

One of the interesting things about Leos is it is opposite of Aquarius. Well Aquarius is all about rebellion & challenging the status quo. So is Leo! Let’s take a look a the Lioness I mentioned earlier. In Lion on Lion relationships (haha, don’t know another way to put it) the female lion is far more active than her male counterpart. Male lions sleep about 16 to 20 hours a day…they…are…LAZY! It is up to the female lion to do most of the hunting & maintain the day to day when it comes to providing for the home (5H is followed by 6H of daily routines & activities). This is untraditional in the animal kingdom, usually the males are the primary hunters. I hope you see my point. With this Venus, you are more likely to be the “breadwinner” so to speak, particularly if you are woman. And if you aren’t, but you marry a powerful person, you will make sure to look DAMN-GOOD by his side supporting & encouraging him to act brave and courageously as a lioness would do for a lion & their pride (a lion family…see, “pride” comes from children in this case as well—its all…connected). Venus in the 5H is a placement that calls for going against the norm & sharing your unique talents with the world— not hiding in shadows in order to be a good daughter or a traditionally “good”mother. You can be a good mom walking down the red carpet, okuurrr?

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in 5H/Leo they expect THE BEST! They admire sophistication, beauty, class & grace. They want people to marvel at their partner’s in life & don’t always mind taking a back seat to their wives accomplishments. (They can be VERY lazy & still domineering……but let’s not get into that, this is a light hearted post). They themselves probably have a love for high art & fashion, so they appreciate a lover that is also hip to the cultural fashion trends & art trends of the day. But most importantly, they want to view & want others to view their partner’s as a work of art as well. Again, more on the traditional side of the spectrum, they value a strong partner who is still willing to bow to them. They are more of the mindset of the “lion tamer”. They love a brave & tenacious companion, but they value the fact that although their companion could stand on their own two feet— they chose them anyways. Plus this placement in a male’s chart, ONLY want the cream of the crop— so take it as a HUGE compliment if you find 5H/Leo Venus partner’s attracted to you. They have some really high standards…believe me. So if they like you, they are first & foremost, impressed by you! And that is no easy feat. For perspective, because there isn’t a real Prince in this story, A$AP Rocky is a sidereal Venus in Leo….he’s with RIHANNA! See what I mean? (Not calling A$AP lazy or beneath her, she’s a black lady Billionaire, she would have a VERY difficult time finding an equal counterpart that would still allow her to have the freedom she needs. She’s a Sidereal Aquarius sun after all. I really just wanted to illustrate this Venus sign in a male’s chart & the type of “wife/lovers” they are attracted to, not to pass judgment).

For Her: If you have Venus in the 5H/Leo, you bring out the creative & prideful side in your partnerships. Because of your natural flair for beauty, you attract all kinds of lovers who want to compete for your affection. Again, you ARE royalty & should only date royalty in return. Because you are traditional at heart, you could prove to be a very loving & loyal partner to the one who really earns their keep. In comparison to 4H/Cancer Venus, you are more likely to entertain guest & be fairly public about your relationships. Unlike the traditional average 2.5, white picket fence & a golden retriever American dream, you’re more attracted to the power couple version. 5 children, a big ole mansion with a guard for entry & a Great Dane would be more up you ally. (Love it! The bigger the better, here). As a warning, I want to say choose your partner’s wisely. Because this can be such a self-sufficient placement, you can attract lazy lover’s who just want to feed off of the energy & productivity that you radiate naturally. You could end up w deadbeats & I think this is illustrated well by the antagonist in Brave, Mor'du, who was honestly just a hating ass hater. Because you shine so brightly, you may attract people in your life that just want to take from you. Be aware! Yes you can most likely raise your young on your own, but do you waaannnnttt to is the question. (I say this with love & compassion. My mom is a Leo Sun/Leo Moon, she was a WONDERFUL single mom, but if she could do it all over again…she would have rather had an equally yoked or more powerful partner. Don’t let partners pass up their responsibility because you look like you got it handled all by yourself. You are a strong, but traditional wife at the heart of it all. Don’t give up that opportunity for someone who is not as royal as you. Keep your standards high is my recommendation. Date others with A LOT of Fire or Air placements, including but not limited to, Moon, Mercury or Venus signs would be my suggestion.

What You Bring to the Table: True Regalness, Creativity, Courageousness & Authoritah

How to Negotiate: KNOW. YOUR. WORTH!!!!!!!!!! Walk in like the Queen/King you are into any business or love relationship. Make them BOW…okay?! You’re coming w a kingdom & fierceness, whether you recognize it or not. You are a true secret weapon & a powerhouse when it comes to leading others, yet possessing the ultimately Queenly knowledge of knowing when to take a backseat. This is a beautiful & unique quality most other Venus placements do not have. Make sure you are always leaving the table w MORE than you came up with. This placement’s motto could be “I can do bad all by myself, so what can YOU do for ME?”. Periodt.

You Venusian Soul Contract: To bring a sense of pride to your lover’s because you have created such a regal environment for yourself & your offspring, people gawk at the power you both possess. (Plus, you & Aquarius Venus are most likely to have the coolest kids…sorry not sorry, just being real)

“A prince cursed to spend his days as a hideous monster sets out to regain his humanity by earning a young woman's love.” Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Sixth house is all about purity & perfection. As a Venus in the 6H native, you are very much about the little things in life! You could enjoy simplicity, like reading a book, or a morning cup of coffee. Typically, you like to maintain a clean & organized space & take great care in maintaining appearances, even if you don’t wear make-up or getting your nails done, you are always sure to present yourself in the best way you can. Like your fellow Mercurial ruled sign, Gemini, you are endlessly curious—always trying to get to the bottom of things. This Venus placement more than others is all about service & charity. Unlike Leo energy, you don’t mind taking the back seat & find more power as the co-pilot. This can be an extremely valuable asset in a relationship, because you are least likely to feel the need to compete with you companions/business partners. You know your role & you play it well. On the other hand, because of your yearning for everything to be fit & in order, you could be hyper critical of yourself & others. You want perfection and you will communicate your ideals to anyone willing to listen.

Belle shows the significance of this type of loving style & how it truly can bring out the best in people. In Vedic tradition, Venus in Virgo is considered detriment, but it is always stated, that usually Venus in Virgo’s end up with the most beautiful & attractive partners. Why? Let’s look at Beauty & the Beast! When Belle is forced to live w the Beast to get her father out of imprisonment, Belle spends her days reading & cleaning; enjoying all the 6H actives of service & day to day routines. Beast who is not nice, to say the least, is very resistant to her femininity. He has cut himself out from society & is more than comfortable living as a wealthy outcast, distant from outside world. Belle sees right through this tough exterior, & like an artist w clay, starts chiseling away, revealing a beautiful sculpture underneath the chaos. This is the power of Venus in the 6H/Virgo. Just like your 12H/Pisces opposite sign, your purity allows you to see past the exterior of a person/relationship & see the true beauty that lies within. You are able to pinpoint problem areas & fix them in an uncanny way. Although people may take this quality as micromanagement, you are truly just wanting the best— it comes from a place of love. The Prince was enthralled w Belle’s innocences. Like a virgin, untouched by the world, left w only her books & a vivid imagination of what could be. Beast found her intriguing as he had become so jaded. Belle was able to bring out the innocence inside of himself that he had long forgotten. These are the type of relationships where you thrive. You have a child-like nature that wants everything to be just so— the lights have to be right, the setting has to be perfect & everything should be in its rightful place. And like Belle, when you are in your element, it almost seems as if the cups & dishes start singing along w you, encouraging you in your fantasy of the perfect little world you’ve created for yourself & your partners.

This placement of Venus can be misunderstood, so be aware how you communicate with your partners. You never want to come across as nit-picky or naggy. Constant criticism can drain anyone, so choose your battles wisely. 6H/Virgo energy is all about purity, health & service. You believe the world will be a better place, if its a cleaner place, free from all of its toxins. You guide through life & relationships w a type of dedication that can hardly be rivaled by any other sign. You commit to seeing that beautiful sculpture through, no matter the size of the clay or how beastly the beast! You will make it into a work of art. (I always feel like the Virgin Mary is a Venus 6H/Virgo!).

One last thing to note about Venus in the 6H, the 6H is before the 7H of peace & diplomacy, meaning, 6H is all about debates & arguments. You could find your love life to be quite quarrelsome. You and your partners like to argue. Sometimes, you may even feel like your partners are acting more like an enemy. Just be smart when you pick your partners. This is not supposed to be doom & gloom, but rather an opportunity to look at your Karma & make conscious choses accordingly. I think about this like working out. No pain, no gain, right? Just make sure you’re not hurting yourself or the ones your love/are in business with. Nothing wrong w respectfully having heated debates! It’s unhealthy to think otherwise. Moral of the story, you can turn enemies into lover, & lovers into enemies. Be wise, play it smart!

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone with Venus in the 6H/Virgo, they expect PERFECTION from their partners. I cannot express this enough. When I say they want the Virgin Mary, I am not exaggerating. This can be a VERY difficult Venus to please from a male’s chart because this is the type of man who believes that woman don’t poop. They expect woman to be clean, dutiful, & quite intelligent, but not too intelligent, if you know what I mean. An immature male w this placement will take a very long time to settle down, or pick extremely vain partners. This is why this placement is in detriment. Prince Adam was not the most fun roommate on the planet. Constantly complaining, very particular, & just overall a not nice guy & grumpy. This can be how an un-evolved Venus 6H/Virgo male can come off— standards too high & insatiable. BENEATH IT ALL!!!! Is a beautiful, kind-hearted, considerate & passionate man, who only wants the best because he truly believes the best is achievable! This isn’t inherently a bad thing, this is just something to be aware of as this male grows, that he’s not putting off negative energy because people are flawed & may never reach his standards. Through it all, Adam loved Belle, because she was able to love openly, freely & most attractively, innocently. This placement may take a while to marry & find a wife, but when he lets go of perfectionism, this lover can be extremely kind, doting & loyal, albeit still nit-picky & argumentative. (It can be cute though if you don’t take it personally…lol)

For Her: If you have Venus in the 6H/Virgo, you bring out the flaws in your partner. Hear me out, you bring troubling things to the surface, so they can be addressed and made anew! You are the “fixer” in relationships. So be careful not to turn your love life or your work life into “projects”. You act as the “health inspector”, you see what’s unhealthy or hazardous, flag it, & correct it. You turn “bad” things into “good” things, unlocking potential that no one else saw. (At the end of the day, Beast was still a millionaire w a huge mansion & money…don’t give your beautiful energy to no broke Beast. That’s just a beast hunny…ain’t no beauty about it. I kid…I kid, we all have to start somewhere, but please, be realistic in your expectations of how much you can help someone. They have to want to help themselves first.) You may draw out a very possessive & protective energy in your partners as well because they want to keep you as pure as possible. You, like gemini, may find yourself in relationships w age difference, OR life difference. Meaning, you could have grown up on a farm, & you meet a man from the city who loves your simple farm girl attitude, but deep down, he knows if he takes you to the city, you could become something else. This is the difficulty of this placement. The “virginity” that lures partners towards you, gets taken away the moment they “conquer” you. Once they have you, you are no longer the “virgin” they want to see you as. Again, not a fun issue to have imo, hence the detriment, but it’s not impossible to overcome. With the right partners, they will value that you will always bring a certain level of virgin pureness, because that’s just who you are, regardless of the environment you find yourself in. With this placement, you will have to be mindful to not let your partners project onto you this idea that you are “perfect”, even if you try so desperately to perpetuate that yourself. The moment you let go of the need for perfection in your relationships, you will be able to enjoy them & enjoy doing the little things in life! Like reading a book on the porch, or sharing a cup of coffee. (I brought it back teehee). Because that’s what the sixth house is all about— routine & duty. Keep it simple! Don’t overcomplicate things!

What You Bring tho the Table: Genuine purity, servitude, simplicity & charity.

How to Negotiate: Know that you are more service oriented than any other placement in the Zodiac. Your love of supporting from behind the scenes is a gift to someone who can see how rare & thoughtful you truly are. You of all signs, needs someone who values the little things in life as much as you do, so they never take for granted your loyalty & kindness. Learn to speak up for yourself! Following 5H/Leo, you can constantly feel overshadowed. DON’T!!! I always say, if you left it to just Actors, there would be no theatre. Stage runners, managers & writer’s (6H/Virgo energy can be PHENOMINAL writers) are what makes the shows happen! Your organization skills & time management skills are superb. Don’t EVER EVER EVER feel like your talents are “boring” or you’re a boring partner. YOU ARE NOT! You are what makes everything run smoothly! Don’t take that for granted within yourself & then no one will be able to take it for granted in your romantic partnerships AS WELL as work & business partnerships. (Have you ever noticed when you call out from work, all hell breaks loose? Yeah…that part. Don’t be afraid to ask for that raise babes…you’ve earned it!)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To bring out the best in your partners & allow them to bring the best out in you, without becoming too critical or cynical in your relationships or the world around you!

💋 Venus in the Seventh House

Ariel - The Little Mermaid

“A mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain in an attempt to become human and win a prince's love.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Faustian bargain definition, according to Britannica: a pact whereby a person trades something of supreme moral or spiritual importance, such as personal values or the soul, for some worldly or material benefit, such as knowledge, power, or riches.

Venus in the Seventh House is all about sacrifice & negation. If you have Venus in the 7H/Libra, you are motivated by peace. You, more than any other placement, truly value balance & togetherness in relationships. You can find yourself in situations bending over backwards to please your partners & this is a part of your Karma. One of your biggest lessons in this lifetime, is to learn how to value yourself EVEN MORE than you value the opinions of others. Relationships & partnerships come to you quite easily because you are very charismatic, down to earth & approachable. Although you may be dressed in the latest fashion & have a good eye for trends, if anyone is able to get close to you, they almost instantly are drawn into your cool & diplomatic attitude. You’re not pushy or aggressive like your opposite house/sign, 1H/Aries, but you are still masculine & wanting the best outcome for everyone involved by remaining level headed & open.

Ariel demonstrates the negotiation & sacrifice that is required of any of your significant relationships. This post will be focusing on the Disney version of The Little Mermaid to stay on theme, but the Grimm Fairytale of this story is an even greater example of the Faustian dynamic. (Spoiler alert: it is NOT a happy ending). Ariel is inquisitive & curious about the world around her. She feels as if the sea is boring & there is more to the world than her family is letting her explore. (Wanting to break out of the 6H of daily routines) After spotting a handsome Prince (7H partnerships) on the seashore (after causing her fair bits of trouble), she falls madly in love & makes a deal with the Sea Witch, Ursula, to give up her voice in exchange for legs so she can walk on land and marry her prince. THIS is the heart of Venus in the 7H that I want to emphasis. Ariel was willing (& did) give her entire essence up for a man she only laid eyes on a few times. This shallow approach to love ended up being her downfall as Ursula turned into a beautiful woman as well & was able to capture the Prince’s attention too. Because the 7H of others & partnerships is followed by the 8H of death & rebirth, Venus 7H/Libra placements are inherently extremely karmic in nature. This placement will force you to look past the shallow things in love (looks, companionship, “he will make cute babies” mindset) and challenge you to dig deep within yourself to break out & find your own wisdom & inner truth (8H to 9H progression). The beauty of this placement though, is once you are able to stand on your own two feet (teehee) you are a very balanced and fair partner. Ariel sacrificed her voice in order to be with someone, do you find yourself in similar situations? Are you willing to sacrifice your entire being, your mermaid tail, in order to fit in a world you feel isolated from? These types of feelings of rejection & needing to let parts of yourself go in order to be accepted as a whole can be cardinal feelings of this particular Venus placement. Be very aware of what you are willing to give up in order to keep the peace, or be in a relationship.

This placement for Venus can make you an excellent, fair & stable partner— willing to put yourself aside in order to make sure everyone leaves the deal happy. You are justice in your relationships. Anyone who is able to tie you down is lucky, because it will be hard to find anyone else willing to go to the ends of the earth for their affection like you. You attempt to stay away from arguments & want relationships filled with pleasure & good times. Just be careful to remember conflict is natural, & just because you value peace over passion, doesn’t mean you should give up your voice to fit in. Speak up! As long as you take your relationships seriously & don’t give into shallow thinking or shallow understandings of your partners, you have potential to be in happy & long term relationships because Venus is the natural ruler of the 7H— Venus is more than comfortable here & is constantly seeking out relationships & partnerships. Use your gifts to your advantage! Value who you are outside of the gaze of others! Stand firm! You will make one heck of a partner!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a Venus in the 7H/Libra individual, they expect Peace in their relationships & in their home life. They require balance & understanding, & value calm, cool & collected conversations opposed to passionate outburst. As stated before, this placement can run the risk of being shallow in relationships. Constantly weighing the pros & cons of their significant others, no matter how big or small the differences. This lover can also move very slow when it comes to making commitments. Never take this personally, they just want to be VERY sure the commitment will be worth their time. They are followed by the 8H/Scorpio after all, so after they commit, they are ALL in! Prince Eric, is a great example of how charming & beautiful this placement can be in a male’s chart. He was able to sweep Ariel off her feet & she doesn’t even have any! This lover/partner is cooler than cool, effortlessly drifting from conversation to conversation making people feel as if they are wrapped up in a sensual dream of pleasure & all things beautiful. However, Prince Eric was also easily swayed by Ursula’s tricks, so he also demonstrates how this placement can fall for a pretty face over personality. You, like Ariel, could find yourself in strange love triangles as this inherently indecisive lover takes his time to pick his forever. This placement can make for a very equal, just & understanding partner, but this partner will not tolerate anything that disrupts his innocent & somewhat niave view of the world. If you are trying to lock this one down, stay cool— don’t push!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 7H/Libra you are meant to create a safe space for you partners. You are able to create beautiful homes, full of luxury & good company. You have an eye for detail & are able to bring people together in ways that are truly admirable. You and your significant partnerships will always be negotiating the responsibilities of the relationship until you are able to reach an agreement. You have no problem sacrificing for you lover’s & family, but your sacrifice must be worth it. You bring a certain charm to anyone who is lucky enough to stand beside you because you represent beauty & grace. Your even temper is a turn on to people & attracting people isn’t hard for you as long as you are putting yourself out there. There is a certain air that you have that is very alluring to others, almost like a Venus fly trap. You really are a gift to your partners as long as you are not backing yourself into a corner & neglecting your needs. As long as you maintain an open & honest dialogue with you partners, you can have a smooth relationships when you decide to commit.

What You Bring to the Table: Diplomacy, Charisma, Understanding & a Willingness to Sacrifice.

How to Negotiate: N. E. G. O. T. I. A. T. E. !!!!! Don’t just take the first deal anyone throws your way. You can get what you want as long as you are willing to give something up first. JUST DON’T GIVE UP YOUR ENTIRE SELF! Your wit & charming attitude alone are enough to make people want to bend over backwards for you. Don’t take this gift for granted or sell yourself short! Once everyone is able to declare what they need, then you will make sure that they get what they want! This is one of the best placements to have if you are wanting to get into law or politics. You know how to sell & you know how to bring people together & mediate! That is a service in & of itself. The cool-headedness you bring will allow you to remain objective no matter what. You will be able to make anyone happy, just make sure you are making yourself happy as well.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn the power of sacrifice for the sake of relationships, while also learning how to maintain boundaries without sacrificing too much— essentially learning how to negotiate.

💋 Venus in the Eighth House

Tiana - Princess & the Frog

“A waitress, desperate to fulfill her dreams as a restaurant owner, is set on a journey to turn a frog prince back into a human being, but she has to face the same problem after she kisses him.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Eighth House is all about the darker sides of love concerning money & power. Interesting, huh? If you have Venus in the 8H/Scorpio, you can be described as a very intense lover, private & mysterious. You have an aura about you that lets people know you are not the one to played with, nor are you the one to be taken advantage of. As off putting as this energy may be for some, this is infatuating & intoxicating to others. This Venus placement can give relationships real power struggles as you & your partner fight for dominance. Following the 7H/Libra of others, peace, partnership & diplomacy, you can think of the 8H/Scorpio as the number 13. It’s “unfavorable” because it follows the “perfect” number, 12/ Not to say you are unlucky in love, but more so, the 8H signifies the ending of “peace” for the sake of learning higher knowledge and earning power. If you can’t tell already, this is a very complex placement, making you a very complex & complicated lover. You will find that a lot of your relationships & partnerships require constant change & transformation. Your most significant relationships will force you to go inward & then lunge you into seeking higher knowledge & truths (9H/Sagittarius). You are a fierce & dynamic partner, stopping at nothing to protect the ones you love, come hell or high water— although courting you can prove to be quite difficult because you value your privacy. You, more than any other placement, fear that letting someone in can give a certain power of you that you may not be willing to let go of. You want to protect yourself at all cost. You may find yourself attracting partners that threaten your sense of security for one reason or another. This can prove to be a really transformative experience for you and your partners throughout your life.

Tiana & “The Princess & the Frog” is a STELLAR example of the fascinating & complex nature of Venus in the 8H/Scorpio. Not only does this deal w black magic & New Orleans voodoo (shoutout to my Creole sisters & Louisiana peeps…bonjou!) all matter of the 8H dealing w occult knowledge, the driving force behind this film is inheritance. Both Prince Charming & Tiana are using love to gain financial power to pursue their deepest desires (8H) and have true freedom (9H). Prince Naveen is unaware that his carefree nature and unwillingness to commit, lands him in a tight position of negotiating (7H) w a Voodoo Priest. He is seeking power, money & a strong standing, but has been cut off from his wealthy parents. After making a deal, he is transformed into a frog, where he has to kiss & marry a princess in order to receive all the riches he feels he deserves. This is the power of the 8H. Because the 8H follows the 7H, the 8H talks about what is gained in the union AFTER marriage/contracts & partnerships are made. This is where inheritance, in-laws & joint bank accounts come into play. Tiana is duped into kissing the Prince after he misleads her into believing he already has a lot of money & can help her pursue her dream of opening up her own restaurant. Both of them seeing the power of this union, agree to scratch each other’s back. A kiss in exchange for some money— Tiana’s a Real Lady Marmalade, amiright? Although this is a Disney Movie, lets for a second talk about the “kiss”. For the sake of this post, let’s look at that “kiss” as a sexual exchange (8H). Sex is major factor in Venus in the 8H/Scorpio. You could use sex for power OR you could have issues w “giving up” sex, because you feel like you’re giving up power. This could be due to trauma surrounding sex as well. Here we see Tiana give over her “power” to the Prince, thinking the Prince will return power to her in the form of money only to be BAMBOOZLED & be transformed into a frog herself. This is a very strong possibility for a Venus in the 8H/Scorpio Native. If you aren’t careful w the lover’s you choose, there could see some repercussions for being dishonest— either from you or from them. Both Tiana & Naveen were dishonest with one another for leverage. Steer clear from this in any of your relationships. Of course this is a Disney film after all, so we all know it ends w them falling in love, reversing the curse, throw in a catchy (or really dark) Disney number or two & hocus pocus, they marry & live happily ever after— yaaay!

This film demonstrates that the partnership is only the beginning of a journey w another person. Signing a contract is only the first step in securing the deal. If the 7H is the contract itself, the 8H is how the contract plays out in action. Venus in 8H/Scorpio knows more than any other sign, that power is everything in partnerships or else you run the risk of getting scorned. This mindset could be from this lifetime or past lifetimes, because this placement, like Libra, is highly karmic in nature. You will experience deep, transformative & even sometimes scary dynamics in your relationships because there is a driving passion behind some of your unions. Seeing as the 8H/Scorpio is ruled by Mars, Venus finds itself quite uncomfortable here because it goes against its peaceful nature. Love isn’t supposed to be about power, it’s supposed to be about equilibrium. But just as the 8H sits opposite of the Venus ruled 2H, which would rather deal w the stability of a relationship, 8H deals w the uncertainty & the unknown of partnerships. You crave security more than anything else from your partners, romantically or financially. You, more than any other Venus placement, will negotiate relationships based purely on power dynamics. You could find yourself w an extremely controlling/intense partner, you could be the very controlling/intense partner yourself, or you could use your partner to gain control in other aspects of your life. The advice w this placement is to release control. Be present w your loves & don’t look at love & business with a “winners & losers” attitude. With enough effort & real communication (I’m sorry, but 8H/Scorpio placements are NOTORIOUSLY poor communicators, you’re very private) you can find yourself in power couple teams & have transformative & overall spiritual experiences with your partners!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a Venus in the 8H/Scorpio individual, he expects complete control & dominance in the relationship. This can be an extremely powerful placement & requires a lot of maturing to be used to its highest degree. On the positive side, this lover/partner can be loyal, protective, passionate & mysterious, in a sexy broody kind of way. On the other hand, this lover/partner can be deceptive, manipulative, vindictive, spiteful & secretive in a not-so-sexy-but-kinda-liar kind of way. You have to decipher which end of the spectrum your partner is on, but know there is a spectrum. To be completely honest, not everyone can handle the intensity of this type of Venus in relationships. This lover can send its lovers into an all encompassing whirlwind & people fear they may lose their sense of identity in the midst of the dark chaos. Others (like me, teehee) are extremely drawn in & fascinated by this kind of energy— seeking out the inner depths lying underneath of such a complex & fascinating person. I say all that to say, choose wisely. Understand that this will not be a lover/partner you can get over on easily. Prince Naveen is a perfect example of this type of Venus placement. He is initially deceptive & lunges Tiana into a new experiences that transforms both of their lives forever. He is seeking money & power & is willing to due just about anything to get it, included messing with the dark arts. After going through such a crazy experience, it only brought the couple closer together & made them more faithful. This can be the beautiful transformative quality of this Venus placement. Overall, this lover will give you what you give them 10-fold. This lover could be very tricky, but so could you. Stay on your toes, & never try to be deceptive or put yourself in a position to be deceived.

For Her: If you have Venus in the 8H/Scorpio, you trigger your partner into growth & make them seek out power. This can be material power, or higher power, like religion or higher wisdom. One thing is for sure, your lovers/partners will never be the same after your encounter. You exude a certain type of reclusiveness & partners will be lured in to attempt to dominate you in order to crack your shell. You’re not a naturally open partner & believe that self preservation is more important than being equal. This is not to say you are a bad or selfish person, although if this placement is under developed, it can certainly appear that way, it’s more so saying that you wouldn’t want to get hurt in any of your relationships by handing over too much power WITHOUT it being earned. Once you feel your partner’s are worthy, you can be extremely generous, open & thoughtful (just make sure this isn’t another way of trying to manipulate the situation…no judgment here…but old habits die hard). You force your partners to take a good hard look at themselves. You ruin any illusion they had about the world & show them the underbelly of what the dark side has to offer. Although sometimes you can go a little Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, it’s all projected out of fear of losing the ones you love. This Venus placement needs to learn to embrace fear rather than try to control it. Tiana was fearful she would be out bid for her restaurant, & from that fear she ran & kissed the first frog who hopped her way lying saying he could give her money & financial security. THIS is a lesson this Venus brings. Don’t act out of fear. Act from a place of love & you will find love in return. Act out of a place of fear & your worst nightmare will come all but true. I cannot stress enough the POWER of this Venus placement. Your lovers will never forget their life altering experiences w you. E.V.E.R!

What You Bring to the Table: Transformation, Power, Security, Loyalty & Wisdom

How to Negotiate: Operate from a place of fairness & not from a place of self-preservation. When you attempt to try & plan for the worse, you can make shady deals & put yourself in some shady situations. Again, this doesn’t mean you are a shady person, this just means you are more willing to do shady things if you think it will be beneficial to your long-term survival. Don’t always think the worst of people & then you won’t see the worse in people. Your sharp eye & observations are keen tools for you to see through deception. Always follow your gut & you will stay out of harms way. Be weary not to step on people’s toes to get to the top first. You can lead w fairness if you master the 8H and enter the 9H. Once you shed your fears, you will see just how lucky you are. Be mindful to not self sabotage the great deals you do make. You may have a “I’ll get over on you before you get over on me” type mindset entering into relationships— Work through this or else you will always find yourself in relationship deaths & rebirth cycles until you get the lesson to just let go.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn how to surrender fears & release expectations of control while gaining power & security in an open in honest way.

💋 Venus in the Ninth House

Pocahontas - Pocahontas

“An English soldier and the daughter of an Algonquin chief share a romance when English colonists invade seventeenth century Virginia.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Ninth house is all about learning, wisdom & blending/preserving cultures. If you have Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, you most likely LOVE traveling, learning & take interest in cultures outside of your own. AND/OR you are very religious & quite tribal in nature on how you view the world. (Probably a mixture of both). You could easily be attracted to people of different races, country of origin, religious backgrounds, or even social classes. If this is the case, you will attempt to submerge yourself in their culture & be fascinated by what makes you different, instead of vilifying them for being different from you like most people tend to do. OR you value your way of life so much, you wouldn’t want to disrupt it with outside forces. Unevolved, you could be very fearful of people outside of your realm of awareness. Either way, faith plays a very strong role in your life. You either throw caution to the wind & test your luck, or you are very specific w the kind of partners you will have who share your same core values. You also possess a certain type of luck & favor when it comes to your romantic relationship & your business partnerships! Because you come to the table as understanding & willing to learn, you can easily make people see the world from your eyes. OR your are so strong in your beliefs, you feel the need to convert people to your way of life. If you do find yourself in a relationship with someone whose an “other”, you will most likely NOT give up who you are just because you are. Your sense of self/faith in yourself is mighty mighty strong. You may convert religion for a relationship, but it’s because you WANT to convert. You won’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to do. Venus here is back in a masculine energy, so although you may go along to get along w certain aspects of a partnership, your fiery nature will always come out if people force you to conform or if people around you don’t conform. You don’t take NO BS from NO ONE with this placement.

Pocahontas, in her self-titled film, is a beautiful example of this type of energy. (DISCLAIMER, I am going off of the DISNEY movie. I know this is sooo historically inaccurate, it’s not even funny, but this it is a kids movie after all! It’s difficult to explain mass genocide to children…but on a happier note, s/o to my Native American/Indigenous sisters & brothers!!! Black Foot, Opelousa & Attakapas represent!!! They may have kept us down, but they won’t keep us out forever!!!) Like Pocahontas, you may find that your father has a powerful position & somehow may play a part in your love life. Wanting the best for his daughter & being the Chief of the tribe (Venus in 9H/Sag, can indicate a very powerful father figure who is strong in their beliefs/religion), he promises Pocahontas’ hand in marriage to the best warrior in the tribe. This demonstrates the part of 9H/Sagittarius energy that wants to preserve its culture & is dogmatic in its beliefs. Pocahontas’ father has ZERO interest in the pale people that washed up on the shore. He feels (rightfully so…lol) they will bring nothing but trouble. He is close minded, self-righteous & tribal in this instance. On the other hand, Pocahontas is unsatisfied w this arrangement, wanting to remain free & open to experiences the world around her! This is TRADEMARK Venus 9H/Sag energy. I’ve found this placement very likely to marry young, but also get divorced young too. Particularly for woman, 9H/ Sagittarius energy is INCREDIBLY hard to settle down. I mean………………INCREDIBLY HARD! So if you have this placement, you may be married a few times w all different kinds of people. It’s usually recommended to get married after the age of 26. Either way, Your motto is probably “I AIN’T GOT NO TYPE, INTERESTING/LUCKY BOYS IS THE ONLY THING THAT I LIKE”.

Another thing to note about Pocahontas is her intuition is extremely strong & she is a very faithful lover of Earth & nature. Unlike the other people in her tribe, she is seen a dreamer & a wonderer. This is because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is also known as Guru in Vedic tradition, being a teacher & an explorer. Through “the colors of the wind”, Pocahontas feels joy in teaching her “Prince Charming” about the connectedness of life & encourages him to let go of his material pursuits & pursue a life of peace & inner knowing. (It’s worth noting that Jupiter also rules 12H/Pisces in Vedic astrology, so there are certainly parallels between these two placements for Venus.) This demonstrates an important aspect of 9H/Sag Venus. With the entire tribe against her & John Smith’s friends against him, they managed to overcome all obstacles & blend together two seemingly opposing cultures, one ruled by peace & love, another ruled by colonialism & material gain— & bring out the best in one another, ultimately bringing together 2 cultures. (For my Tarot people, this is why in the Temperance card, the Angel is holding 2 cups, mixing them together) You may notice this could be a pattern that follows you throughout all your intimate love affairs or long-term jobs. Pocahontas acts as a vibrant teacher & John Smith, a willing student in order to bring their love together & bring peace to the changing world around them! (Bleh, I know it hurts because this is NOT at all what happened in real life, like…at all, but we can pretend, right? RIGHT?!!!??!! Thanks Disney.)

This film demonstrates the clear sightedness, patience & willingness to understand that 9H/Sagittarius Venus can bring to love & business partnerships. You are able to blend your love of exploration & faith to bring people/places & things together that others wouldn’t dare think belong. Because the 9H follows the 8H, which is one of the darkest houses in the Zodiac, you appreciate the lighter things in life! Although extremely serious in nature (I don’t think 9H/ Sag energy get enough credit for being very serious about life, you aren’t the party loving extravert all the time) you know how to have a good time & prove to be a very generous & giving lover! As long as you remain open & don’t get too dogmatic or self-righteous when it comes to your beliefs, you could have a very “colorful” (hehe you catch the pun?) love life. Seriously, very colorful. The duality of the Venus sign cannot be ignored, much like its opposite, 3H/Gemini. At its worst, this placement can present as a xenophobic, radical, religious bigot (harsh, but true) & at its best, this placement can present as a wonderful, open, explorative, spiritual baddie! Always check what side of the fence you are on!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a partner w Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, they expect their lover’s to be spontaneous & open OR religious & “subservient”. This partner is attracted to exoticness & they want someone that is outside of their immediate dating pool. They could be mixed heritage themselves or at the very least, well traveled! You definitely need to be well read, because this lover is likely to be highly educated. On the flip side, if they aren’t as educated, they are very likely to be extremely religious & faithful in nature. This partner will expect you to follow their beliefs and faith. This placement will either want you to share the exact same beliefs/values/culture as them OR they want you to be radically different, it just depends on the person. Sagittarius is a mutable sign after all, so there isn’t one way for this to appear. (I know I’m speaking in black & white terms, but I’m not trying to say uneducated means religious as a bad thing, or vice versa, just trying to paint a picture of how beliefs & education can play a role in this Venus placement. 9H deals with religion & higher learning!) John Smith, is a prime example of this placement. He came to the new world, willing to explore unknown territory, w high expectations of wealth! He’s obviously a lucky chap, because we all know that journey from the Old World to the “New World” is treacherous. After meeting Pocahontas, he was intrigued by her exotic beauty. He had never laid eyes on anyone like her before. He took a deep curiosity in her & wanted to learn (3H/Gemini, your opposite sign) everything he could from her, in spite of his “tribe” disagreeing with their union. This demonstrates the curiosity, explorative nature & rebelliousness of this Venus placement. Keep your partner learning & you will keep their attention! Unless you get the other end of the spectrum of Venus in 9H/Sag, then be in Church/Temple/Mosque bright & early & never miss an opportunity to praise God. If you get an evolved 9H/Sag lover or business partner, you are in for a lovely treat w many blessings!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 9H/Sagittarius, you are meant to show your lover’s/partners another way of living, and/or support them fully on the spiritual journey they are already on. Spirituality & religion/culture will almost certainly always be a factor in your major relationships. If you are like Pocahontas, who is more of a “go with the flow” type girl, maybe even a little hippie-dippie, you are meant to teach your partner the way of letting go & not falling captive to control issues. All in all, you are teaching them about faith & pure luck. You could easily be a good luck charm to any of your lovers/partners. I can’t stress enough the release 9H placements can bring, following the extremely binding 8H & then proceeding the even more restrictive 10H. 9H energy is genuinely like a breath of fresh air, so BE THAT! If you are more of a “faithful” lover/partner, and I am using faithful in terms of religion, not necessarily about monogamy, (in fact, you may not be the most monogamous partner ever, you could want to explore too much), you are most likely to be a “Preacher’s wife”. You are meant to exude the best parts of your religion & stand strong beside your partner who could easily be a leader of some sort. The issue can come to play if you let fear guide your religion opposed to open faith. This placement is particularly unpredictable, because 9H/Sagittarius energy can manifest in so many different ways! You could be free flowing or very restricted by religion. Regardless, the one thing I do know is, you will be yourself through & though— uncompromising at times & surprisingly open minded at others, as long as you know where you stand, no one will be able to bring you down. Hey, you may even be the one to prevent a future mass genocide, like Disney said!

What You Bring to the Table: Faithfulness, Open-mindedness OR Strong Beliefs while be Strong-Willed & Unafraid of the Unknown (or not, you get the point).

How to Negotiate: Bring your life experience to the table. You will compliment your partner in whatever form they need. You are willing to learn & be open to new experiences. You are VERY knowledgeable about your beliefs and often times, highly educated! Don’t downplay your intelligence, but be cautions not to come off arrogant, close-minded or peachy. You have a lot of charism & people value & appreciate your opinions. Again, you have to know what kind of 9H/Sagittarius you are! If you are more of the religious side, find a religious partner who shares the same beliefs & values as you. If you are more of a free-spirit, find a partner that interest you & allows you to be your free & wonderful self! If you are a mixture of both, religious & free spirited, accept that & find a partner who’s views the world in a similar way. You will most likely have a very interesting love journey, taking many twist & turns as you straddle between 2 such restrictive houses. Bottom line, you negotiate freedom when you talk about relationships or business partners. Be realistic w what you are willing/not willing to sacrifice.

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To support & encourage your lovers as they navigate how their spirituality plays a part in their life!

💋 Venus in the Tenth House

Cinderella- Cinderella

“When Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother.” Internet Movie Database (IMBd).

Venus in the Tenth House is all about restriction, discipline, class & sophistication. Venus in the 10H/Capricorn is all about a rise to power & union after struggle & hardships. If you have this placement, it is very likely that you are highly ambitious & have big dreams. This is a powerful Venus, because the 10H is the highest place in people’s chart. Plus Saturn, the natural ruler of the 10H/Capricorn, is very friendly towards Venus & enjoys spoiling it. You exude beauty & class, & public appearances mean a great deal to you. You are careful about keeping up a certain reputation & you work hard to maintain it. The world’s perception of you plays a huge part in your relationships & partnerships. You have the capability to be very well known for what you do as a profession. With Venus in the 10H, you may be interested in pursing a career in the arts/entertainment; film, television, modeling, fashion, etc or politics. (Funny how actors are politicians & politicians are actors) You are most likely to need an audience in order for you to consider yourself successful in your worldly pursuits. (Marrying the boss)

Cinderella is the PERFECT story of Venus in 10H/Capricorn, because it demonstrates the power of a Saturn Return BAY-BEE!!! Ms. Cinderella was going THROUGH IT, literally for no reason. Her mother died, then her dad got married because he wanted help raising her, so he married a woman who turned out to be a BXTCH. THEN he had the nerve to die, so Cinderella was forced to take care of her evil-ass step-mama & her ugly-ass step sisters. Talk about 10H/Saturn giving hardships! Through all of this chaos, Cinderella remained dutiful & helpful. People don’t always realize this, but 10H/Capricorn energy is feminine. So Venus in the 10H, puts Venus back in a feminine sign. Cinderella emanates how this feminine energy can remain kind & loyal, even when unnecessary restrictions & hardships are placed on them. The beauty comes after aaaallllll the BS. She was rewarded abundantly for her discipline, (but we will get into this later).

As I stated earlier, you can look at Cinderella’s fairy God Mother (Whitney Houston is Queen! I know we are doing Disney, but I have to pay honor to my girl. May she rest in peace) as her Saturn return. After years & years & years of being under the thumb of her step-mother & sisters, a miracle appeared to her because she stayed kind, open & never held resentment/contempt for her “family”.

I want to take a moment to really dig into how Cinderella has been dissed/disrespected & why she doesn’t deserve it. Idk if you can tell, but Cinderella is my favorite Disney Princess. Is this because I have Venus in the 10H? Maybe. Maybe I am a bit biased, but let me tell you why. When feminists/The Cheetah Girls talk about Cinderella sitting in a dusty cellar waiting for somebody to come & set her free, they are missing the entire point of the story. Not ONCE did Cinderella dream of being a Princess or say that a man was her only ticket out of the shenanigans. She is the epitome of feminine strength & beauty. She cooked, she cleaned, she sewed, she sang, she was obedient & never really complained about what she couldn’t control. People stay disrespecting Cinderella as being weak, but when you really think about what she went through, she was SO strong— a lot stronger than most. There is nothing weak about authentic gentleness. She never wanted to disrupt the status quo, she played with the hand she was dealt. She sucked it up & kept her wits until the Universe blessed her with an opportunity that ended up changing her life. If you have this placement, really look & see how this could be parallel to your life & experiences. Have you been shamed because you respect authority & boundaries, even if that means embracing hardships & self-sacrificing? Do you understand the true femininity you posses, simply by doing what you are told, but knowing that in the long-run, you will be rewarded greatly? Truly think about this, because this could be a theme that is played out in your life over & over again, until the age of 33 (according to Vedic astrology, 27 for western). The overall trick of this placement is to RECOGNIZE A MIRACLE WHEN IT COMES!!!! Read that again. Saturn does not deny, it delays. Cinderella was NEVER meant to stay scrubbing them dusty hoes clothes for the rest of her days. She didn’t know it, but the entire time, she was being prepared to be a loving & compassionate QWEEN! This is a significant part of this Venus placement. There is no right or wrong way to be a woman. Being dutiful & disciplined can be just as strong & powerful as being a “bad bxtch” who don’t take no shiz from no man. Don’t let people diss Cinderella, she really was a beautiful, kind & strong woman who deserved her happily ever after! (Sorry, I just had to go on a little rant. I get the sentiment of not wanting to be beholden to a man, but someone people feel whole when they are able to serve the ones they love. There is NO shame in that! Different strokes for different folks!)

Back to the film, So after Cinderella is again shxt on by her step-mother, her blessing comes! Note here, “time is of the essence”. That is important to Venus in the 10H/Capricorns! Time is not always on your side. Saturn is the traditional ruler of time, so things can happen later in life than normal. Or when these amazing things happen, you only have a short time to act! Of course we all know the rest of the story, the Prince sees her, falls in love w her because she’s the most beautiful girl at the ball. But she has to run back home, he searches for her & then he finds her. He marries her, takes her away from them crusty bad build fugly family members & they live happily ever after.

It is imperative for this sign to continue to dream & to remain patient & diligent when it comes to love. You may really struggle w finding a partner while you are younger, because you tend to be mature for you age, no matter your age, you take relationships seriously & chances are, you have other responsibilities! Don’t think that delay means denial. Just like Cinderella, she worked worked worked worked worked, & than magically, she met the love of her life! Of course it’s hard to believe in fairytales, as Saturnians are naturally cynical, but believe! A dream is a wish your heart makes! So don’t let the tough things in life stop you for loving every bit of your journey. Cinderella impressed the Prince with one glance. You will do the same when the time is right!

One final thought, 10H/Capricorn placements are usually attracted to men with status & power. This Venus is all about leveling up as well. Our baddie Cindy, married the Prince— this can be seen as the modern equivalent of marrying the big boss! DO NOT SETTLE!!! DO NOT SETTLE!!! DO NOT SETTLE!!! I ain’t saying this placement is a gold-digger, but I am saying this placement will not mess w any broke _____. No scrubs! If the shoe don’t fit, you must acquit!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a person w a Venus in the 10H/Capricorn, this person expects loyalty, sacrifice, dutifulness & structure. This may sound boring, but I will say, this placement gets better as it ages— fine like wine. Think about it. What do most people truly want in their later years? Peace & security! This Venus can offer that, but it takes time, some serious investments & sacrifice. Young male Venus in the 10H/Capricorns are extremely hard to pin down, because they want all their ducks in a row before committing to a relationship. This is someone that is more than okay taking it slow in relationships & building. They will not rush & you cannot rush then. Like Prince Charming in Cinderella, he wasn’t going to get married until he was good & gosh-darn ready. His parents had to throw him an entire ball to find a wife, only for him to fall in love w the one girl he was most unlikely to have! THEN he refused to be w anyone else, forcing the entire kingdom to comply to his demands. Who knows how many tax dollars he spent just looking for her! He knew what he wanted & Prince Charming wasn’t going to have anything less. Just like Prince Charming, this partner will eventually turn into a King. This relationship may require more patience than you are willing to give, but if you allow the relationship to bloom, it will be well worth the wait. (Don’t wait forever though. NEVER wait forever, but assuming its a healthy relationship, it will be worth the time & energy). Another way this placement can present itself is like the “cowboy” trope. This partner can be the strong, silent type, living off the land, building their wealth from the bottom up. They can also be a cop or a military man, someone working for the government. Again, it’s all about the 401K & retirement plan. They appreciate more than most stability & structure. This can be very beneficial in the long run. At their worst, they can be very rigid & unmoving. At their best, they can be practical problem solvers, planning for a raining day, but knowing how to enjoy the fruits of their labour!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 10H/Capricorn, you are meant to bring out strength, steadiness & balance in your partnerships. You will most likely take the role of the more practical one, or be attracted to older, mature “high-value” (bleh!) kind of men. A lot of people talk about wanting & deserving the best, but you are the placement to actually wait & work for the best. Most people lose patience & will sacrifice long-term stability for short-term pleasure…not you. It’s not in your DNA. You most likely have extremely high expectations in love & can have a very difficult time, particularly in your younger years, developing relationships. You may come off as cold & unbothered, but you are more so just waiting to be impressed. Once someone is able to capture your attention, you can prove to be one of the most loyal & hardworking partners on the planet! You take your relationships & commitments very seriously. It could be because it took you so long to find love in the first place, you want to try your best to maintain the relationships you do have. Imagine Cinderella! She would hard pressed to leave the Prince & go back to that nightmare she was living before! In any case, because you can be so loyal in your relationships, you have to make sure you are being loyal to the right lover/partners. You don’t want to waste your energy, giving & giving to something that is not giving you something in return— even if it just status & financial security. You may have some relationships that are dull & boring from the outside world, but that most likely brings you a lot of comfort. The downside to this is that you can run into one of those long love-less, sexless, contractual type of relationships for the sake of security. If that’s not what you want, don’t settle. Don’t feel obligated to stay in partnerships that don’t serve your emotional needs as well. As stated before, you are a lover/partner that brings out the practical side of relationships. You of all people know that love isn’t all about rainbows and butterflies, it’s compromise that moves things along. (S/o to you if you get the reference) & love don’t pay not bills. You are hard-working in life & in your relationships, so just be sure to take time to be fun & spontaneous. Life doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. Plus people may confuse your focus on work as you not liking them because you can be one track. Please be mindful of other people’s emotions & understand Acts of Service is not everyone’s love language & try to accommodate. If you can balance your severe nature with a more loving one from time to time, like your opposite house 4H/Cancer, you have a lot of potential to have a lifetime romance! You are in it for the long-haul.

What You Bring to the Table: Discipline, Commitment, Status, Class & Elegance.

How to Negotiate: You should always be a tough negotiator when it comes to your relationships. You, more than any other placement, needs decide what a relationship will be upfront, so you know what to expect. Do not wait until year 3 to be like “Do you want kids? Can I be a stay at home mom? Do you believe in marriage?” NO!!! Ask people on date two/three. When it comes to jobs & business contracts, don’t put energy into a job where you don’t understand the job description. You will do what you’re told to the best of your abilities, as long as you are told clearly & honestly. Always remember that you are a valuable asset to anyone; be it in love or working situation, because YOU WILL WORK where most people just try to skim & get by doing the bare minimum. You believe in blood, sweat & tears to get the job done. THIS sets you a part from many & never allow others to take this trait for granted…starting w yourself. (You and Venus 6H/Virgo are probably the most hardworking in work & relationships tbh). So PLEASE make sure that you are paid your dues. This is particularly true in your later part of life, after your Saturn return. You may have encountered/are encountering a lot of BS in your 20s & early 30s…hang in there love. You are just paying off some sort of karmic debt. But if you follow Saturn’s instructions, work hard & remained focused, you will be rewarded past your wildest dreams. You understand what REAL love is about once you fully evolve. This unevolved Venus can be materialistic & shallow, but if you learn the lessons Saturn is giving, you get the realest love of them all!

(Side note: Jupiter & Venus are the two planets most associated with gift giving & generosity. However, it has been argued that Saturn is the best give giver of all the planets. Why? Because Saturn’s gifts are long lasting! They may not be the biggest or the prettiest, but Saturn’s gifts will bring long-term abundance rather than temporary joy. If you have heavy 10H/Capricorn/Saturn placements in your chart, you have a really good shot to have come into the life w hardships, but die overcoming so many obstacles in the lap of luxury or a prosperous farm! Define what abundance means to you, work hard at it everyday, endure & have patience & you WILL reach your mountain top!)

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To learn to cherish relationships & be cherished, while maintaining stability, balance & discipline. Because after all, that’s what love is all about!

💋 Venus in the Eleventh House

Frozen- Elsa (I know she’s a queen, but hey)

“When the newly crowned Queen Elsa accidentally uses her power to turn things into ice to curse her home in infinite winter, her sister Anna teams up with a mountain man, his playful reindeer, and a snowman to change the weather condition.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Eleventh house is all about bonding, friendship & freedom. If you have Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, know that you ALWAY stand out in the crowd. Growing up, you may have felt outcast, or marched to the beat of your own drum. You are certainly one of a kind. The two extremes of this Venus can manifest with either having a lot friends & being extremely popular, or not having many friends at all until later in life. This is due to Saturn’s Co-rulership with Rahu/North Node for this sign in Vedic tradition— Saturn being the planet of restriction & delay. Because your perception of friendships is one that is very deep, understanding & open, while most people are superficial, you may find it hard to take light relationships seriously. At times, you may come off as cold & distant to those you care about the most, but you need solitude from time to time, even though many things will most likely need your attention. The reason there is so much emphasis on friendships here is because you are most likely to turn friends into lovers. You need to be comfortable w people enough to be your authentic self in order to consider any other kind of relationship. The beauty of this is, you allow others to be there most authentic self too.

You can be an outspoken partner. Unique & irreplaceable. Because you value friendship, you treat your lovers like friends. This could be a good thing & this can be a bad thing depending on who your partner is. You could be slow to open up to people & be friends with someone for yeeeeaaarrrss before you even consider them a romantic partner. This can be infuriating to people trying to pursue you, because your default mode is the friend zone. However, unlike other placements, w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, this is nothing personal. You like to feel safe in your relationships & safe guard your need for freedom. You don’t like to feel bogged down in any way shape or form. Chances are, you’re not the most lovey dovey person in the world, but you are an awesome listener & don’t judge others for how they chose to live their lives or express themselves. In fact, you can be so non-judgmental & open, you may be interested in polyamorous or different kinds of relationship than the status quo. You like to be free as a bird and expect your lovers to be the same. You wouldn’t do well w someone who needs constant attention…you value your independence & cherish it in others while in partnerships— romantic or business.

Elsa in Frozen is a prime example of how this Venus can show up in the Disney world. Elsa was gifted with magnificent powers of being able to make ice & snow! At first, she was thrilled, but once she almost killed Anna (oops!), she turned away from her powers, trying to hide the very thing that makes her powerful & unique. You could mirror this in your own life at times. You most likely have some really interesting qualities about you that are special & even rare! But sometimes your “powers” can make you feel isolated & in turn fearful to be who you are. As Elsa’s powers grew stronger, her will to suppress them grew stronger as well, only causing an emotional outburst (Rahu/North Node), that accidentally causes an eternal winter. Feeling like she’s doomed herself & everyone around her, she goes into a self-imposed exile, leaving her sister to go on a journey to get her to calm down, end the storm & ultimately accept who she is, inside & out!

It is worth noting the close bond Elsa and her sister have, because the 11H also rules older siblings. Anna had a lot of love for Elsa & didn’t understand why she chose to push her away. Anna did everything she could in order to make her sister see the beauty in herself & in her gifts, until Elsa was comfortable enough with herself to come back into society. Are there ways that you have mirrored this in the past? Can you think of something that makes you “too cool for school” & you’d rather hide away instead of put yourself in a position to be rejected?

Through Frozen, you can see that it is BEST to accept & love yourself for everything that you are! 11H/Aquarius is energy is always misclassified as being detached and aloof, but that couldn’t be the further from the truth. As we can see, Elsa has emotions, extremely powerful emotions at that, she was just afraid of them, so she thought it would be best to keep them to herself— until she stuffed them down so long, her emotions became unrecognizable, chaotic & uncontrollable. You more than any other sign are capable of the most dramatic & destructive outburst. Whereas 4H/Cancer placements are emotional all the time…it comes as no surprise when they have their breakdowns. YOU, however, tend to keep a level head, so when you snap. YOU. SNAP. So you have to be mindful of this placement to not become the Ice Queen, freezing everyone out in fear of hurting someone or yourself. Getting hurt is a part of life. It’s all about how you handle it when “bad” things come along. Do you Let it Go & isolate yourself, or do you define what makes you unique and make snow cones for everyone instead? The decision is yours. This Venus placement can make or break your feelings/place in society.

This film is a great depiction of the highs & lows that can come w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius. At times, you are magical & ethereal which makes you interesting & unpredictable. But other times you can be volatile, causing you to want to isolate yourself or be isolated from others. Once you learn how to control your gifts & understand that you are just a wild card (lol) AND find friends/lovers who support you, you will be unstoppable & be able to do magnificent things. As you age, you will learn to love the public more & the public will love you. You will be able to offer such interesting insight to the greater conscious, spreading a message of love, acceptance & independence! Like Elsa, who didn’t have a singular Prince trying to win her hand in marriage, your duty for love is to the masses. After all, you have a Kingdom to run! It can be lonely at the top, but the top has the best view!

For Him: If you are dating/married to a person w Venus in the 11H/Aquarius your lover expects FREE-DOM, so baby, you’re gunna have to let it ring! As stated above, this placement values friendships over everything else. This requires a certain level of patience that other partners may not need. The beauty of this combination is he will be a loyal & understanding partner once you take the time to understand his individual corks. Else technically didn’t have a Prince Charming, & when this movie came out, it was a really big deal! This was the first Disney Princess movie that wasn’t centered around love (another point for being unique & breaking expectations). Venus in the 11H/Aquarius is one of the least “love” centered partnerships. Meaning, this Venus doesn’t so much deal w one on one relationships, but rather relationships w the masses & love relationships that aren’t romantic— like sister to sister relationships or fraternity/sorority for just a few examples. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying they won’t be your knight in shining armor, but this may not be their biggest priority in life. They may date & explore, but how their friends show up is more important than fleeting romances. This is something to keep in mind as you date a Venus in 11H/Aquarius, they may prefer being alone, & again, it is NOTHING personal to you. You may feel as if they are constantly focused on other things & not prioritizing you. Always remember, 11H is opposite of 5H, the tradition house of Leo. Leo is “me me me”, so Aquarius is “we we we”. A Venus in the 11H lover will feel like world hunger is more important than spending Valentine’s Day with you.

This can manifest as a very complex man, with mood swings & an unpredictable temperament— hence why it is important to give this lover freedom. Chances are, because they’ve spent time in isolation, they know themselves better than anyone else…so when they need some space, give them space. Although this lover can be romantic, don’t expect rose pedals every night when you come to bed. They care more about intellect & conversations & helping the world than holding hands. This is a masculine sign for Venus. You would be better off volunteering at the local soup kitchen for a date rather than going to a luxurious roof top bar. This lover is far from superficial and carries a disdain for anyone who he presumes is shallow. Venus in the 11H/Aquarius could be one of your best friends in life. Even though they may be a little off beat, they will support & encourage you to be your best self & to never shy away from your gift & talents, loving who you are!

For Her: If you have Venus in the 11H/Aquarius, you bring out the rebelliousness in your partners. 11H energy is the rebel, & so there will almost always be something different about your partnerships that causes your lovers to rebel against society in someway. It could be different cultures, religion, socioeconomic status etc…But trust, you are such a dream come true for people, they won’t mind jumping over hoops to be w you. Because the 11H is the house of wish fulfillment & gains, you bring a certain level of luck to your relationship. You may notice that your partners start doing better in life after hooking up w you, so yeah, you’re one special someone. You may find that some of your long-term relationships take a lot of twist & turns— running hot & cold. Go w the flow as much as you can, because Saturn is involved in this placement, your long-standing relationships will be tied to some sort of karma. You came to learn lessons about love & friendships, so forgiveness & understandings will be major factors in any of your serious relationships. Since this is a fixed sign, you have to mindful not to get too stuck in your ways. This placement can also indicate long-distance relationships as well or relationships that happen over the internet. 11H is the house of technology, so you could very well meet your mate online, or have relationships that are completely virtual at times. The more comfortable you become w the idea of having unique relationships that may not be understood by the outside world, the easier it will be to accept any relationships you are in. It is not going to be like anything else or everyone else’s relationships so quit while you’re ahead and don’t compare it to others. Now, a little warning that comes w this placement as well, is the fact that your friendships could play a significant part in any of your relationships. Be weary of his dynamic because sometimes friends (and siblings) can be overly protective of you & bring negative energy to your partnerships. Friends may feel like they are in competition between you and your loved ones— just learn how to balance the two! And on the flip side, don’t make your lover your best & only friend. Continue to strive & get to know people, you will be doing yourself & your relationships a disservice by isolating yourself further from society. People may not think Aquarius energy & love go together, but it truly depends on how you look at it. Most people come w high expectations in relationships & once they feel like they aren’t being met in some way, the relationship goes haywire, Aquarius energy doesn’t react that way. In fact, this energy is understanding & allows people to make their own choices instead of nagging w demands. With the right partner, this placement can possess the romance of a lifetime! As stated about in the “For Him” section, you may also be more likely to put your societal obligations ahead of your one on one relationships. At times, this can cause problems, so balance balance balance your need to help everyone around you, will the needs of your partner for some intimacy. You can’t be 100 places at once. Prioritize alone time with your partner if you have a lifestyle that causes you to be involved with larger groups— quality time is an important part of maintaining a relationship & you may need a reminder more than most.

What You Bring to the Table: Independence, Friendships, Loyalty & Originality

How to Negotiate: You should always remember that you are one of kind! You are rare & NO ONE can replace you! There are no two 11H/Aquarius placements that are alike, that’s why this placement can be so difficult to categorize. Because you are an Original, never EVER be treated like a copy-cat. Have confidence that there will won’t be another like you & don’t hang on to any relationship or partnerships that try to put you in a box—it’s not gunna happen!!! Don’t be afraid to walk away, because the love that you bring is unlike anything or anyone else…they will most likely come crawling back. You can always use your laid-back nature as an advantage as well. People will love to chase you because you seem so unbothered— however try not to make people chase forever. Like you, people do get bored. With this placement, more than any other placement, you may need to fake it until you make it. Meaning, because you can be so detached, you may have to pretend to care about things that you don’t care about just to let your partner know that you are still interested. You can go ghost for days, weeks & months and not realize it, so it is imperative for you to actively demonstrate your love to those you care about. Don’t get so caught up in your own world that you forget about the people who love and care about you. Stay somewhat grounded. Again, be confident that you will be one of the coolest lovers that any of your partners has ever been with & you will never walk away from the table empty handed.

You Venusian Soul Contract: To balance your uniqueness, retrained emotions & need for freedom within relationships in order to feel accepted by those you care about most , while maintaining one on one relationships even w bigger responsibilities to the public.

(Think of this placement like being a celebrity… & this placement can be an indication for fame as well. How are celebrities able to balance their public image & their personal lives? How often to Zendaya and Tom Holland actually get to sit down and cuddle up? Not often enough, I’m sure. Even if you aren’t star status, you may feel this dynamic play out in your significant relationships).

💋 Venus in the Twelfth House

Princess Jasmine- Aladdin

“A kindhearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true.” - Internet Movie Database (IMBd)

Venus in the Twelfth House is all about the spiritual side of love & what can’t be seen by the naked eye. If you have Venus in the 12H/Pisces, you are the hopeless romantic of the zodiac. You see straight through to people’s souls, bringing to the surface their most inner selves. Although this placement is exalt, it doesn’t mean that your love life is at all easy. In fact, you may really struggle in love because your expectations can be RIDICULOUSLY HIGH. Meaning, because you see the trueness in people, if they don’t see trueness in themselves, well then, what are you looking at? You have a habit of projecting the best qualities onto people & can ignore some of the things that would be troublesome to others. THIS ISN’T ALL YOUR FAULT THOUGH, people also make sure to put on the best versions of themselves around you because they want to impress you so badly. I’m sure you’re beautiful in your own special way. Your eyes can be one of your strongest features because they are the window to the soul— & since you have a pure soul, it’s reflected in the way you look at people. 12H/Pisces energy is traditionally ruled by the planet Jupiter in Vedic astrology, so you there could be strong influences in your relationships which are beyond your control. There could be distance, cultural difference, &/or religious factors that play a significant role in your most long term relationships. This placement is also most likely to give up worldly pleasure/gains & “love” to pursue more religious endeavors. This is the placement most likely to become a nun or priest. Like I said, your expectations can be so high to see good in people & in your lovers, Jesus Christ may be the only figure who meets your idealistic standards. (Just an example! Not trying to exclude other religions).

You may also have a theme of loss of love. Because the 12H is the house of loss & escape, you may lose significant lovers, but it will always trigger spiritual growth for you. Relationships are so deeply spiritual for you, you’ll experience relationships other people can only dream of. There is a higher vibration you require in love, that most people will not have the experience needed to satisfy your desires for the all encompassing love your soul needs. You may be inclined to give up all your monetary possessions, or on the contrary, you may want all the rubies, diamonds & pearls the world can offer. Either way, you will never be satisfied w just the material things in life & you will always yearn for something deeper & other worldly, even if the world is at your fingertips. This placement can also bring a certain level of illusion & escapism, so you will have to be careful not to get wrapped up in addictions to drugs & excessive pleasure. Jupiter loves to have a good time & explore other realms through astro projections— this tendency to want to have outer body experiences can lead to some nasty habits that are hard to break. It is okay to explore! But be mindful that you will always need to come back to Earth at some point.

Princess Jasmine illustrates the effect of Venus in the 12H/Pisces beautifully. Although the story is centered around Aladdin, the local street rat, his entire journey is triggered by a fateful encounter w the Princess. The moment he lays eyes on her, he instantly falls in love & wants to impress her, not knowing that she isn’t what she appears to be. This is Venus in the 12H/Pisces at its finest. Illusion & projection is the foundation of the relationship. Princess Jasmine is in a disguise & Aladdin is just being bad running the streets, stealing bread, but obviously has a heart of gold. Aladdin then goes to find a magical lamp (Jupiter) to grant him 3 wishes; Enter Genie, who transforms poor old Aladdin to a wealthy (appearing) Prince. He then goes on to pretend he’s a Prince in order to impress Princess Jasmine & hopefully one day marry her. Cue, the magic carpet ride! And for what it’s worth, your love life might have a few magic carpet rides, if you catch my drift. You are most likely to experience many soulmate connections. (I believe you can have multiple Soulmates/Twin Flames/Karmics, there is no limit. It depends on how many your soul needs so you can fulfill your Karma & learn whatever lesson). This highlights the explorative nature of this placement as Aladdin begins to show her the wonder of the world that she was unable to see in the safety of her castle. You may find that in relationships in your life, you are attracted to people that are not in your same class system. But this dynamic is what is most alluring to you in the first place. Jasmine was used to living in the lap of luxury, while Aladdin had to learn street smarts in order to survive. His savviness was beyond sexy (I know it’s a kids movie, but Aladdin is fine as hell) to Jasmine who longed to escape the trappings of her material world to live amongst the common people.

Of course, it’s a Disney movie, so the illusion & magic all comes crashing down & the true identity of Aladdin is revealed, but his sweet soul still remains. Jasmine is faced w a decision and of course…because it’s a Disney movie, she picks Aladdin & they live happily ever after. In real life, this shows the inherent self-sacrificing nature of this placement. IRL, Jasmine would have to give up her crown if she were to marry so beneath her, & sometimes you may feel like you are meeting people in life who are somehow “beneath” you. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE BETTER, but you may attract people who are in the throws of chaos in their life & through a fated encounter w you, they are plunged into the depths of a spiritual awakening. You signify someone is on the brink of a magnificent breakthrough if you enter into their lives.

You bring a certain level of magic to your long-term relationships that challenges the nature of reality itself. This can be extremely powerful & extremely destructive. You of all signs have to be very careful that you are not seeing your lovers through rose tinted glasses— don’t get caught up in the glitz & glamour, while others of you will need to be more realistic in choosing your love partners. Yes the boy may have a beautiful heart, but if he is a lost soul, it is not your duty to help him find it.

This film depicts how rewarding this placement can be. Defying all the odds, exploring 2 totally foreign worlds & having a magically spiritual connection that knows no bounds is just the tip of the iceberg for Venus in the 12H/Pisces. On the other hand, it shows that lies/false perceptions can be the foundation of the relationship if not handled correctly. Make sure you are seeing people, places & things for what they are! Don’t fall for the okey-doke. There is no need to always be a sucker for a sob-story. You are meant to guide & teach partners through their Karma, not always go through the trenches w them. It is also worth noting that you can be a great artist & creative, depicting the highest ideals of love & love loss. Channel this energy into something positive rather than running away from feelings you can’t explain w words— feel them & turn them into art. On a final note, like 11H Venus, this Venus can deal a lot w isolation. You could go long periods of time being single. (Good time to work on artistic projects, use this time wisely) This is due to the fact that you are opposite of Virgo, the hermit in tarot, & isolation is required for you to learn some of the harder lessons about love & life. You could go from single single single, to entangled entangled entangled very quickly after YEARS of half-hearted relationships. Because of your outer & inner beauty, however, you will always attract people towards you, but since you don’t necessarily believe in superficial relationships, you will be less likely to settle w anyone less than a soulmate. (Again, you got some high standards, babes lol) This is a beautiful, but challenging placement, yet capable of producing the strongest of romances.

For Him: If you are dating/married to someone w Venus in the 12H/Pisces, this lover expects a soulful connection. They want to be wrapped up in your essence until you become one w one another & ultimately one w the universe. As stated above, this lover has high expectations for their loves & may get caught in the loop of overly projected onto you, putting you a pedal stool & blinding themselves to the harsh reality that no matter how great you are, you are still human. Aladdin was mesmerized by Jasmine & did everything in his power to become what he THOUGHT Jasmine wanted, rather than getting know her first hand. Like lovers in your life, they may put on airs & appear to be something they are not, attempting to escape their true identity since you seem so magical. They could easily misrepresent themselves when it comes to dealing w money & finances, or just wanting to come across as a better person than what they actually are. Chances are this is subconscious, but it can also be manipulative so watch out. Withholding truth is a way to gain & maintain power. As long as you don’t know what they are hiding, they have control. Be smart. Pisces energy tends to deal w rejection— rejection from society & rejection of themselves. Aladdin is a great example, because being a poor boy for the wrong side of the tracks, he feels as if he’s been discarded by society as a whole & the only way to be seen and be taken seriously is to (fake-ly) amass an extreme amount of wealth. Venus in Pisces males can be downtrodden from a young age & could have certainly struggled w addictions/poverty, trying to escape their reality or just feel out of body…like a fish out of water, they will have a fascinating story. Due to this Venus being back in a feminine house, this male will value femininity but also want a level of chaos. Aladdin had a grand ole time keeping up the charade until he didn’t. This will be a lesson that this Venus placement can play out over and over again until they learn to love who they are, leave material & worldly pursuits behind & instead dedicate themselves to loving others and their own personal spiritual journey.

For Her: If you’re have Venus in the 12H/Pisces you bring out the dreamy side of your lovers. You seem to defy all earthly logic & float through life w a kind of mysticism that leaves others in awe. You may find it difficult to break out of people’s high expectations— as you feel people are looking through you rather than at you. Meanwhile, you, on the other hand, are able to see the deepest parts of others quicker than most. You are as intriguing as you are mysterious, seemingly like you stepped through some unknown portal. This can be a blessing & a curse, it’s all about how you interact w your spiritual self. The more spiritual you become, the easier it will be to attract the soulmate you are looking for. You want a relationship that goes deeper than the typical mundane day to day union & instead, meets you on a soul level. You are not always impressed by “things”, money & stuff, you’d rather have an emotionally present lover who takes you by the hand & leads you to the under world. This placement forces your partners to have to look at life through a different set of lenses as you introduce them to the darkest parts of their souls. 12H & 8H placements are very similar in the depths they create, w the 12H actually being “darker”. (You may want to read 8H Venus as well, because y’all are similar, but yours happens on an even more profound level, arguably. While 8H Venus introduces their partners to “God” (8H to 9H), you introduce your partners to themselves (12H to 1H)…see how that works?) Since you see so deeply into people, eventually there is no where for your lovers to run & hide, forcing them to shed their protective layers & reconcile their outer world w their inner selves. You will have such transformative relationships & transformed lovers. You act as a catalyst to their awakening & usually, send them on their way. This is can be a difficult placement to pin down as well. Because Pisces is mutable & fluid, you effortlessly guide through relationships & partnerships, particularly after you go through a VERY hard breakup. You go through the thick of it in love, to be light to your future loves. Just be careful not to get wrapped up in something that proves difficult to come out of. Like Jupiter represents, always look at the bigger picture. (Side note: you are probably excellent in bed, 12H deals w bed pleasure woot woot!)

What You Bring to the Table: Spirituality, Nothingness, Soulfulness & Illumination

How to Negotiate: You have a more passive approach when it comes to getting what you want. Your abilities to manifest are unparalleled, & you are filled w magic. Your relationship w Spirit has the potential to be so strong, that things tend to fall in place for you. Almost as if you keep a genie in your pocket! The trick w this placement is to master how you deal w loss. Things come & things go— you have to learn to go w the flow. You are not meant to hold on to any materialist things because you feel like you “need” them. That’s the catch. Once you feel like you need something or someone, you will almost always lose them. This is not to scare you, but to prepare you. This is the highest point of Venus, but its inherently contradictory. Love is not about owning items or owning people, it’s about letting the natural progression of life run things & following Spirit’s lead. You are the poster-child for what real love looks like, & real love is all about letting go & letting God, so to speak. Your happily ever after w certain partners, may not be in this life, but in the next. You are capable of the type of love that transcends space & time. Because we live in such a materialist world, it’s imperative to know that materials don’t define you. YOU define you. You may have all the gold & silver in the world, but it will mean nothing if you have no spiritual connection to the other world & also the willingness to let it go. This Venus placement is also meant to be very charitable. When you give things away (to the right causes) you will be rewarded greatly. The more giving/generous you are, the more you receive. But of course you know that! You’ve been working lifetime after lifetime after lifetime to understand this lesson!

Your Venusian Soul Contract: To see love & the world for what they really are, gain a connection w spirit & love as hard as you can as long as you can without falling into the trap of escapism

Drop a fish 🐠 emoji because you’re such a great catch!

…AND THATS ALL FOLKS!!!

With Love & Lust,
