Venus in Aquarius

Venus in Aquarius seeks relationships which provide friendship, shared ideals, and common political views. Venus here has definite principles about relationships, and a deep sense of integrity makes any sort of betrayal unforgivable. Strong ethics give Venus in Aquarius loyalty, tolerance and a willingness to accept major differences within a partnership. Aquarius has strong beliefs about equality and fair play, and they believe in openness and honesty, and cannot tolerate any form of underhand behaviour. Aquarius is unprejudiced and race, religion, culture, land of origin, social status, doesn’t matter, and this sign mixes with everyone. In relationships there is little regard for social status and peer pressure. There is usually a marked affection for friends, and commonly friends become lovers and lovers turn into friends.

Those with Venus here have eclectic tastes, from the antique, unique and futuristic; anything beautiful and unusual in clothing, lovers and friendships is desirable. The preference is usually for someone intelligent, ingenious, friendly, social and quirky. Modern and innovative pieces of art are attractive, computer graphics, electronic music and unorthodox artwork appeal to them. A good example of this artistic temperament is Yoko Ono; she has Venus in Aquarius in the 5th house. The artistic vision may take the form of group collaborations, which benefit humanity.

The person with Venus in Aquarius has a horror of being possessed, and relationships tend to be cool and distant. They feel uncomfortable dealing with intense emotions and are appalled by displays of jealousy in others. It is difficult for them to accept their own darker emotions, so they simply cut off. Venus here insists on lots of space and independence in relationships. The person values progressiveness and their sympathies are usually expressed in broad humanitarian terms; rather than in a personal way. All Air signs need room to breathe and circulate, but a Venusian Aquarian is particularly fond of freedom and hates to feel restricted in a partnership. Restrictions placed on love, imply conditions. When Venus is placed in this social sign, excitement and creative stimulation is craved, and all expression is in the pursuit of some kind of “social cause”.
