Venus,
the planet of love and pleasure, comes home to Libra.
This combination is a natural as Venus is the ruling or key planet of this sign. Dialogue, negotiation and
relationships are highly valued now. Libra is a sign
that wants justice. Venus’ presence here suggests new
diplomatic skills that can be used to bring about change
without conflict.
Venus in Libra promotes the arts and appreciates beauty. Politeness
counts more and sensitivity to the balance in partnerships
is heightened. This is a time when we can become more
aware of the give and take that are natural elements
of relationships.
An
increased desire to find agreement readily leads to
compromise at this time. It’s vital, though, that you
consider what you really want before sacrificing it
for peace. Harmony is desirable, but not if you must
sacrifice your real needs and desires for it. The appearance
of peace can be costly if it masks inner disappointment.
Romantic
love grows in importance, too. Being in love with love
can be such a delicious feeling. This, of course, opens
the door to illusion and projecting too much importance
upon others. Just be fair to yourself in the process.
Don’t sell yourself short in your desire to gain the
approval of another person. Fairness includes an honest
assessment and appreciation of your own gifts. Intimacy
grows in an atmosphere of mutual interest and respect.
Lovely
Venus in her home sign is found in the chart of beauties
Claudia Schiffer and Princess Grace, as well as the
unclassifiable Fabio. Royalty is well represented here
with Prince Charles and King Hussein, along with the
aforementioned Princess Grace.
In
spite of its "nice guy/nice girl" image, Venus in Libra
is found in the charts of a number of well-known wild
ones. There's Charlie
Sheen, Lisa Bonet, Sean Young and MacKenzie
Phillips just to get things started. There's naughty,
but presidential Bill
Clinton, ex-bad boy rock pioneer Chuck Berry,
Kiss tongue-meister Gene Simmons and the late and large
drag queen Divine. Then it gets scary with Stephen
King, pornographic with Althea Flynt and
Ilona Staller, demogogic with Ferdinand Marcos and,
finally, murderous with Manson girl Leslie Van Houton.
Libra
likes marriage, they say. Just ask Mickey Rooney. Of
course, Venus in Libra has its heroes, too. There are
charmers like Michael
Douglas and Christopher Reeve, tough guys
like Charles Bronson and arms-bearing Old Testamenters
like Charleton Heston. At least Venus in Libra has Connie
Chung to report the news and sci-fi giant Ursula Le
Guin to create new worlds when this one loses its charm.
