Venus
Opposition to planets
|
|
Venus influences us in different fields of love, affection,
art, creativity, and physical beauty. The location of Venus
on the map can indicate our love.
Venus is a symbol of love and harmony, and after the moon it
represents the feminine principle. |

Venus
Opposition to Mars
Until
you learn to compromise, you will experience many ups and downs
in your professional affairs. You must accept responsibility
for any alienation between yourself and others because you are
so totally preoccupied with yourself and indifferent to the
feelings of others. Don't let a personal habit be a major deterrent
to success. In dealing with people, avoid jumping to conclusions
and defer judgment until you can examine all the facts. To get
these facts, you can talk intelligently with those who know
more about the problem than you do. If you will give people
the opportunity to present their opinions, you will win their
respect and admiration forever. First make them comfortable
by implying that they are superior to you (even if that is debatable);
then you can reveal your opinion and the reason for it. They
will not fail to be impressed by your maturity and congeniality.
With these hard aspects, we are often extremely creative provided
we can settle down - although we shall always be rather impatient.
A bonus point is that the Venus indolence is counteracted both
by the active planet Mars and by the tension in the aspects
themselves; so we are able to get through a large amount of
work. And, although we can run into problems in relationships,
these can be sorted out fairly quickly. Through Mars we are
quick to take offence, but equally quick to forget why; and
Venus hastens to mend the breach.

Venus
Opposition to Jupiter
The
craving for friendship and love (Venus) can well become too
expansive under the influence of Jupiter and can incite us to
make conquests on a large scale; especially as Jupiter, literally
and metaphorically, is the planet of voyages of discovery. And
although what we have here is a combination of two very compatible
factors, we suffer from restless activity accompanied by restless
feelings. All the same, this tension brought about both by the
nature of the aspects and by the stirring expansiveness of Jupiter
is an optimistic type of tension. Any Jupiter square will make
us eager and challenging. When the square is with Venus, this
can be rather attractive as long as it is not overdone.

Venus
Opposition to Saturn
This
often represents an individual who has losses in love because
the psyche is programmed to lose; this individual may fall in
love with someone who is unavailable or with someone who dies
or who makes him intensely miserable. The parents removed the
objects that the person was attached to during his formative
years. The 'love object' may have been a favorite toy or a security
blanket, or the affection of one or both of the parents. One
parent may have been harsh to the other; one parent may have
suppressed the other; the child saw the parents disliking each
other in some way. So the image in the psyche carries a message
that men and women are against each other - each must make the
other compromise in some way. The person born with this configuration
comes from a bleak childhood. He didn't have a chance to learn
how to give or how to receive, for it wasn't done by the parents.
The aspect can be overcome by deciding to learn how to give,
how to appreciate, how to cake a chance in a love relationship,
how to work through a compromise without a feeling of loss.
When these things are learned, then the hardness of the aspect
goes.

Venus
Opposition to Uranus
By
and large, the tense aspects between Venus and Uranus receive
pretty poor press in traditional astrology. And this is perfectly
understandable, given that their inherent strain and unrest
compounded by that of Uranus really tests the resilience of
close relationships with others. What is more, Uranus is always
the planet of the iconoclast, the individualist and the know-it-all
- hardly the ideal person for holding a marriage or a friendship
together.
With these aspects, we are tense, nervous and generally unsure
in our dealings with others; consequently, we quickly get irritated,
or fail to take enough time to build up one relationship before
abandoning it to start another. The idea of change and renewal
is irresistible; what we may not realize is that the source
of our restlessness is in our own emotional constitution. Our
inconstancy and fear of firm commitments are projected into
a colorful series of on-off, half-baked relationships which
do not give us or the others a chance. New friendships keep
ending as suddenly as they begin.
It inclines to nervous instability and various nervous afflictions,
probably due to repressed or defeated desires, for the desire-nature
is strong and does not easily submit to repulse or rejection.
It is useless to expect persons with this aspect to live a strictly
conventional or harshly Puritan ic life, for repression is likely
to cause violent outbreaks or else repression-neuroses

Venus
Opposition to Neptune
This
kind of aspect brings another sort of dilemma. The mother of
the native influences his psyche about womanhood according to
the sign Venus is in. Neptune brings a vague feeling that this
idea is all wrong.
As far as the desire nature is concerned, Venus represents what
we desire in life and the kind of love relationship we want;
Neptune represents what kinds of goals and dreams we work toward.
The two are not working together when quincunx. It may be that
the aspect provides the kind of strain or discontent that ends
up stagnating the efforts of this individual; that the person
may end up drifting instead of creating. The qualities of both
signs need to compromise with each other in such a way that
both the signs can be expressed in life.

Venus
Opposition to Pluto
Your
emotional intensity and passion is likely to cause difficulties
for you, as it often seems to run away out of your control,
and can take you into situations and encounters which from a
clearer perspective you would consider to be undesirable. Certainly
you are looking for something; but your sexual and emotional
desires can be too strong, creating distortions of inner energy
and leading to compulsive behavior on your part - followed by
an attempt at justification in the vein of 'I couldn't help
my self. Either you will feel driven to experiment in various
relationships on a continuous basis, or, as a reaction, you
may attempt to avoid entering any emotional affair as you are
afraid of experiencing the old established pattern again.
Problems can arise in your intimate relationships due to your
tendency to introduce the element of domination. You tend to
demand your own way or assume a dominating role, sometimes played
out in potentially damaging sexual and emotional contexts, sometimes
obvious, sometimes more subtle. Even if you assume a submissive
role, it is only as a hidden way to manipulate and achieve your
intentions through a subtle route; it is not your natural approach.
Usually, you want your partners to change to suit you, and you
can put intense pressure upon them, especially sexually and
emotionally.
You will need to learn the necessity for mutual compromise in
relationships, to understand your inner underlying desires and
impulses which are conditioning and controlling you from the
depths of your unconscious. It may be appropriate to study humanistic
psychology, or take part in a course or therapy designed to
bring about safe release of hidden impulses into the light of
conscious awareness. Such impulses, and unconscious inner fantasy
lives, are present to some degree in everyone; but with this
aspect they will stimulate problems for you, which are resolvable
if you are willing to confront them in an act of personal reintegration
and transformation. This will also serve to balance out your
erratic flow of emotional desires, which often seems to confuse
you and your partner, as you appear to 'blow very hot and very
cold' in your responses to them; this is when your inner impulses
arise and fall in some hidden rhythmic cycle, leading to uncontrollable
emotional and sexual needs and intensity, or to a lack of response
and to coldness.
