Venus in Libra

Het Monster: Venus in Libra
All things beautiful, tender,
I cherish and nurture.
If you are kind and polite—
I will love you too.
A child with Venus in Libra is occupied with the search for beauty. They are drawn to all that is harmonious, calm, balanced, carefree, refined, and aesthetically pleasing. This is not merely a preference; they genuinely need a cozy environment. They also need to feel attractive and “put together” in their appearance to feel at ease. This does not mean excessive neatness. Artistic chaos is quite possible—for example, the state in which they leave their room after much deliberation over what to wear and how to prepare for a trip. Yet from this chaos emerges the child themselves—everything coordinated, every hair in place.

In their choice of friends, your child will also lean toward refinement. Rudeness, roughness, and sloppiness provoke hostility in them. They usually greet others with politeness, even charm, showing affection by being sweet and attentive. This child is more inclined to consider the merits of their companions, unless their own preference holds very great significance. One thing they insist on is fairness. They are willing to compromise and behave very sweetly, but they are unlikely to be deceived, at least not for long.

This child will highly value art and will likely display talent in any of its forms—or perhaps several. Ensure they have many opportunities to try different artistic pursuits—drawing, painting, dance, vocal and instrumental music, and crafts. Take them to concerts, museums, and the theater.

Venus is in its own sign here, and therefore powerful. This placement signifies sensual pleasures, friendship with the wealthy, a beautiful appearance, skillful earning of money, attraction to beautiful worldly things such as cars, palaces, art, flowers, and so on. These people are poetic, travel often, and may have a very fortunate marriage.

Here Venus is in an air sign, in its domicile, but also visiting Chiron. Thus, Venus in Libra gives an aesthetic criterion in love—an inclination toward elegance, a desire for beautiful form, harmony, and balance in feelings. There may also be an attachment to a particular form—for example, you may only like blondes. If your Venus is unharmed and uninjured, you almost always have good taste in most areas—both in art and in choosing a partner. With a strong Venus in Libra, you may stand out with aestheticism in everything, mannerisms, even coquetry, and strive to beautifully frame your feelings. Even in sexual relationships, you are likely to have an aesthetic approach. You probably compare your partners, and in general, you may have several partners due to a strong need for comparison. Yet you compare your feelings toward each of them. However, it must be said that in this case, you usually maintain decorum, and conflicts do not arise. That is, your partners most often end up in different spheres of life, and their paths never cross. If you do allow your partners’ paths to intersect, it is only when you are sure you can keep the situation peaceful and that it will not cause complications. You are likely drawn to very refined, harmonious, elite, or rare partners.

If Venus in Libra is “injured” and Mars is strong, there may sometimes be dandyism, sharp rejection of what you do not understand or wish to understand, indifferent denial of certain things, and militant aestheticism in active form.

Venus in Libra fosters a love for refined arts: music, poetry, and especially art. When considering the formation of an aesthetic system and criteria for evaluating harmony, it is necessary to account for the influence of Chiron, with whom Venus is visiting. Chiron is associated with the way subtle-world images are projected onto the material world. Therefore, contact with an environment in which images of the subtle world are reflected—such as art—is beneficial for you. A person who cannot convey images of the subtle world is not an artist but a craftsman. A true artist is always a conduit of subtle images. A work of art acts on our consciousness precisely at this level. Thus, for you, an environment of beauty, refined harmony, and balance is absolutely necessary in shaping aesthetic criteria. If these criteria are formed, they will likely have a very interesting feature: attendance at theaters, operas, ballets, museums, and exhibitions. You probably enjoy refined relaxation. In general, Venus in Libra often grants talent in the realm of refined arts. Since Venus is connected with the embodiment of form, this is usually artistic talent. For musical or poetic talent to manifest, Mercury or Neptune must also be prominent. Yet artistic talent is almost always possible with Venus alone in Libra. Even if Mercury is weak and drawing does not come easily in childhood, you will at least always appreciate beautiful pictures and objects. If your chart shows a well-developed Mercury and Venus in Libra, you will almost certainly take up a brush or chalk at an early age and diligently set about painting something.

A passionate nature. A happy marriage and success in business. Naturally gifted with the ability to understand others’ feelings. They despise brutality. They seek spiritual communion; mere sensuality is not enough. Often, they have talent in music or art. They avoid conflict situations (they become nervous and fall ill from them). Afflicted Venus: lack of convictions, replaced by adherence to “social conventions.” Women with Venus in Libra require sincere sympathy; their male partners must be gallant and attentive.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Love is measured, deliberate, seeking to achieve an ideal and perfect union, harmony of feelings. This love may make concessions to preserve harmony in the relationship. The owner of the astrological chart may even try to appear happy without actually being so. They cannot bear solitude. When feelings flourish, however, they never transgress the boundaries of legality. Fidelity is maintained both out of deep conviction and the necessity of maintaining propriety. The chart owner is highly sensitive to appearance and the beauty of the face of the person who inspires their love. In times of crisis in a relationship, they try to understand the other side but flee before scandal.

Venus grants Libra confidence in their own aesthetic judgments. In their perception of the world, Venusian Librans are guided by a strong inner sense of harmony, which softens many visible contradictions, and they transmit this sense of harmony to the surrounding world, which is why they are generally well-liked, though internally they can be quite cold. Only with a highly developed Venus in Libra does love for specific people emerge; otherwise, they are perceived as colorful figures in a vibrant panorama of the visible world. With a strong affliction, their vision of the world and aesthetics becomes quite peculiar: much seems ugly (aesthetic snobbery is possible); ethics are not aligned with society, which may result in bitterness and extreme injustice in judgments. Through development, Venus in Libra can indicate an original artist, a witty critic, or unexpected elegant solutions to problems. This Venusian placement always orients a person toward their aesthetic sense, which may limit perception (making it difficult to study disharmonious fragments of the world).

For those who have Venus in Libra, marriage and harmonious relationships with others hold great importance. An attractive appearance provides many opportunities in this regard. You find expressions of rudeness and tactlessness unacceptable, so you maintain strict standards regarding social behavior. In interactions with others, spiritual communication carries significant weight. In love, you expect your partner to become your intellectual companion, an equal, a friend. You are drawn to people possessing refinement, delicacy, and diplomacy. You value good manners, elegance, and feel uncomfortable around coarse or impudent individuals. Money is not an end in itself but a means to acquire beautiful things. You may involve your partner in risky financial ventures, yet money tends not to stay with you for long. You often have highly influential friends. There is a tendency toward marriage based on practical considerations. Artistic talent, especially in music, is common. You dislike arguments and disagreements, and such conflicts may even make you ill. You appreciate recognition and success. You are tactful, polite, and attentive. You have a strong desire to please and to understand what your loved one truly wants. You highly value relationship harmony and are willing to make many concessions to avoid disagreements or conflicts. You dislike anything controversial or emotionally complicated; you feel anxious when difficulties threaten to remain unresolved for an extended period, so you tend to smooth things over, so to speak, sweeping unpleasantness under the rug. Possible health issues include kidney disorders and eczema.
