Venus in Taurus (Dignified): Emotional security and stability in love are important to you and if this security is threatened, you can become jealous and possessive. You're loyal and steadfast with constant and enduring affections. You have a highly developed sense of touch and enjoy physical contact.

You have an innate sense of the value of material things. Personal beauty is important to you but you may have weight problems due to your love of good food. You're attractive to the opposite sex and have a rich, melodious voice. You're affectionate and passionate in emotional relationships, but your sensuality is passive, letting others come on to you instead of chasing them. You're conventional, sociable and strongly domestic. You feel a close kinship with the earth and enjoy plants, flowers, trees and nature. Your emotions tend to color your life. You have a good appreciation of the arts. If afflicted, you may be too stubborn or marry late in life.

You're deeply sensitive in your romantic feelings and want your mate to be demonstrative because it makes you feel secure and loved. You value both financial and domestic security and marriage is a means to attain a stable domestic life, although you truly cherish your home and family and you're affectionate towards your children. Your home is a place of beauty and the focus of social activity. Women are very domestic and enjoy cooking and housekeeping for their families. In marriage, you may be more of a mother than a mate, but if afflicted, you may cling to loved ones or your parents may object to your choice of mate. If you're single, you'd rather cook for your date than go out, although you'll unobtrusively take the initiative if you're bored or lonely.

You're inclined to put off marriage, possibly due to a preoccupation with chastity or virginity. You have an excellent business sense and can benefit through your employees. Your ability to analyze emotions makes for a good psychologist, but a tendency to over-analyze can kill spontaneous emotions.

If afflicted, you may go along just to avoid confrontation so you may appear to lack integrity. You have a good sense of hearing, a keen sense of color and a highly developed aesthetic sense.

Once you sever an important relationship, it can never be re-established on the same terms. If afflicted, you can be overly sensual and preoccupied with sex and women may use sex appeal to gain power over or to manipulate others.

Venus in Capricorn: You're basically insecure and seek emotional security through material status and wealth. Although you have excellent money making abilities, you often try to improve your status through marriage. If you marry young, your mate is older and more mature. If you marry late, your mate is younger and someone you can feel responsible for and provide with security in return for affection.

Your social behavior is proud and reserved and you dislike demonstrativeness in public. You repress your emotions and sexuality in public, but can be very sensual when in private. You have a sense of aloneness that creates an attractive mystique about you. Your dignified air is based on a desire to feel superior to the common lot: others may see it as snobbishness and resent you. If afflicted, you can experience separation, isolation and disappointment in romance, but this can be overcome by being more loving and not resenting the one who caused the suffering. You're willing to make considerable sacrifices for a loved one. If afflicted, you can have an emotional coldness, be over-concerned with material goods and your calculating and ulterior motives may outweigh your affections.

You're popular, well liked and have many friends. Others may consider you immoral, but you just have different interpretations of standards towards social and sexual morality. Crude behavior, as you define it, is unacceptable behavior in others. You can be righteous and ethical, but lack lovingness and understanding. You find it hard to understand the emotionally oriented. Romantic attractions are sudden and casual and, although you sincerely intend them to last, end just as suddenly and often for no apparent reason, except for the often hidden motive of retaining your freedom. Your romantic partner must be a friend as well as a lover and provide you with variety and mental stimulation or you get bored. You also avoid partners who are possessive and jealous and seek to curtail your social freedom. If well aspected, you're capable of sustained loyalty to loved ones. If afflicted you may have promiscuous/eccentric sexual habits. Although you function well in groups, you may have stubborn emotional attitudes, refusing to see others' points of view.

You have deep compassion and sympathy, especially for the underdog, and understanding of the unity of all life. You have highly developed intuition and are able to truly understand the feelings of others as well as being highly sensitive to their sufferings. You must develop discrimination or people will take advantage of your sympathies. You're romantic, gentle, tenderhearted and sensitive but, unless you receive clear demonstrations of love and affections, you can feel lonely and disappointed. Sometimes disappointment leads to feelings of martyrdom, neurotic tendencies and/or mental illness. Since you're afraid of being hurt through rejection, you hesitate to express your feelings. You tend to become emotionally dependent on others or vice versa. Your strong emotions can distort any attempt at objective perception of reality. Personal love must be lost in Divine Compassion. If afflicted, you can be excessively sentimental, lazy, hypersensitive, over-dependent and prone to withdraw into yourself rather than face adversity. You're able to draw on higher inspirations for resources in artistic, poetic and musical creations. You can inspire creativity in others. Money means nothing to you so you may need professional help in order to remain financially stable.
