Radical Reposts: The Planets – Venus

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I just had to come back to the Radical Reposts for some Venussy inspiration. Being a Venus Girl myself, there have been plenty of posts on the topic of the love-and-relationship planet. Enjoy, re-enjoy—or simply bask in some virtual hearts and flowers of the season.

Where Does Your Love Live? (10-Feb-2010)

Valentine's month is the perfect time to think about where your love lives. Your Venus sign is your love style—its house, your base of operation. There are so many aspects of life to love, but the house where your Venus resides will tell you about the slice of life where your love shines.

Venus and the Art of Gifts  (02-Oct-12)

Venus as a planet is about our one-on-one connections with others, so the art of gift giving has to do with observing those we care for and making mental and physical notes of their needs. If it doesn’t come second nature to you—and it doesn’t for everyone—here’s a trip around the Venus signs with tips on how to polish yours to gift-giving perfection. Apply the suggestions, with minor modifications, to relationships of all kinds.

Venus Girls, Fleeting Beauty  (22-Feb-10)

We all have to deal, ultimately, with fading looks and how we “do Venus” over time. Just take out your albums and look at your “young” pictures. Admit it. With few exceptions, you looked great then compared to now, especially if you’re past your midlife transits. It’s all relative.

This is the time of year we tend to be fixated on synastry. You’re probably poking around your beloved’s chart right now, trying to figure out which of his or her many aspects to your planets are favorable. That way, you can “work them” and maybe get lucky on Valentine’s Day. Here’s what you might experience if those aspects between your charts were talking to each other like lovers. Doesn’t matter who owns which one; the pillow talk will be similar.

Venus conjunct Sun

“You are the sunshine of my life” (with apologies to Stevie Wonder).

Mercury opposite Mercury

I just don’t know how to tell you how I feel. Words get in the way.

Venus trine Venus

I can’t stop saying “I love you,” over and over and over and over and over and over ....

Mars square Mars

Let’s fight and have make-up sex.

Jupiter square Jupiter

Roses are red

Violets are bluish

Oy, what can we do?

You’re Christian; I’m Jewish.

Saturn square Jupiter

I want to lock hearts and swallow the key. (This is the last correspondence Jupiter opens from Saturn.)

Chiron conjunct Mars

I love you so much; it never stops hurting.

Uranus square Venus

I dig you the most.

Neptune conjunct Venus

 Drunk on Us.

Pluto square Venus

I vant to bite your neck and leave marks.

Venus square Jupiter

I hate long-distance romances.

Neptune trine Venus

A rose is a rose is a rose—and is even better in colored glasses.

Happy Hearts Day from the Radical Virgo!
