What Venus represents

Venus describes attraction, pleasure, values, social style, affection, taste, and the ways a person gives and receives appreciation. It does not describe the entire relationship pattern. The Moon, Mars, seventh house, and aspects must also be considered.

Venus’s house shows where connection and value are sought, while aspects show what complicates or supports relating.
