Venus, the goddess of love, represents female relationships and social interactions at every level. She rules your social attitudes and behaviour, along with your aesthetic tastes and inclinations. Venus represents the principles of harmony and equilibrium.

Venus indicates your values. Her placement describes your inclination toward romance, marriage and other partnerships, capacity for humor, and the pursuit of pleasure.

From a romantic point of view, Venus in a man's chart shows the kinds of women most likely to desired, whilst her placement in a woman's chart indicates the ways in which the subject is likely to present herself to attract the interest of romantic partners.

Now Venus rules desire in all its forms. So since she can be rather avaricious, Venus also governs the flow of money and the financial conditions in your life.

In ancient mythology, Venus, the beautiful love goddess, was always getting up to something with Mars, the fierce god of war. None of the other gods could ever work out what the lovely Venus saw in the headstrong, arrogant Mars, but she certainly fancied him, no matter what anyone else said or thought.
