CHAPTER IX
VENUS THE PLANET OF LOVE
In the 13th Chapter of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians we find a
eulogy of "love." The word used in the authorized version is "charity," but
it ought to be read as "love." Love suffereth long and is kind, love
vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, believeth all things, endureth all
things. . .Whether there be prophecies they shall fail, whether there be
knowledge it shall vanish away." He concludes that in time FAITH and HOPE
will pass away because we shall know the things in which we now have faith
and our hopes will have been realized, but love, he contends, remains for-
ever. The keynote of Venus is "love," "harmony," and "rhythm," and if we
want to know her nature we may profitably read that chapter and substitute
"Venus' for "Love." Venus vaunteth not herself, is not puffed up, seeketh
not her own, rejoices not in iniquity but in truth, beareth all things,
believeth all things, endureth all things. These sayings are all true when
applied to Venus for she furnishes the unifying bond between all members of
the human family in whatever relationship they may be placed. It is the
love-ray of Venus piercing deeply the heart of the mother which breeds in
her the tender care wherewith she nourishes her offspring through helpless
[PAGE 170] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
infancy. Venus sounds the love call of the youth and the maiden, gives and
takes, smoothing out all the difficulties in the conjugal career. She is
ever burning incense upon the altar of affection and from her garden of love
comes the flowers which scent even the most sordid souls with celestial per-
fume and raise them for the time being to the stature of gods.
But when Venus is afflicted, all these sublime qualities become tainted
and take a hideous aspect according to the nature of their affliction.
Squares and oppositions turn love to lust which makes the person revel in
sensual gratification; the perception of beauty which expresses itself as
art becomes slovenliness, the tendency to self-sacrifice, the giving of one-
self for others is turned to selfishness and the person will then seem to
use others to escape any task or effort not to his or her liking, laziness
being one of the most prominent characteristics of an afflicted Venus.
Being feminine, Venus never reaches out toward others, but exerts a mag-
netic energy which draws them to her. Therefore she represents in a man's
horoscope those of the opposite sex to whom the person is drawn, but in a
woman's horoscope Venus describes the person's own attraction for the op-
posite sex and Mars the masculine planet shows who will be attracted by her
charms.
Venus is essentially dignified in Taurus and Libra, and exalted in
[PAGE 171] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
Pisces, and therefore her influence is most powerfully felt when she is
placed in those signs. She is weak and afflicted when placed in either of
the martial signs, Aries or Scorpio, where she is in her fall, or when she
is i the mercurial sign, Virgo. The best House position for her is the Sev-
enth where her influence will make the marriage serene and blissful.
VENUS IN THE TWELVE HOUSES
VENUS IN THE FIRST HOUSE has a tendency to spread sunshine over the child's
home and make the early life happy. It gives an amiable character so that
the person is well liked because of his social nature and friendly disposi-
tion. It brings out the love of music, art and a desire for pleasure. This
is what may be called "a lucky position" for it makes the person very at-
tractive to all with whom he or she comes in contact and in that way it
tends to give general success in life. It is also very good for the general
health.
VENUS IN THE SECOND HOUSE is an indication of financial success in life.
People with Venus in this position are usually very popular and are thus
helped by their friends to lucrative positions. At the same time this posi-
tion makes the person very wasteful and prodigal so that it tends to make
him spend more then he earns. The money is usually squandered on
[PAGE 172] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
pleasure, dress and ornaments for self by a woman and for an amour by a
man, and not infrequently leads to abuses which undermine the health.
This position also shows gain by dealing in things ruled by Venus, such as
dress goods, jewelry, music, etc.
VENUS IN THE THIRD HOUSE has a particularly beneficial effect upon the mind,
making the person cheerful, optimistic and inclined to look at everything
from the bright side of life. It gives a love of music, art, literature and
everything that has a refining influence, and unusual facility for express-
ing one's self in a happy, appropriate manner, either in speech or writing.
It gives love of travel; the person will enjoy himself on his journeys and
benefit by them. It also makes relations with brothers and sisters and
neighbors and the people in one's immediate environment congenial.
VENUS IN THE FOURTH HOUSE shows happy conditions in the home, particularly
in the latter part of life. It also indicates that an inheritance may be
left to the person and that if he owns houses or lands he will gain much by
them.
VENUS IN THE FIFTH HOUSE makes the person unusually affectionate and as a
result he or she usually experiences a number of love affairs all of which
[PAGE 173] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
run their courses smoothly. In indicates that the marriage will be fruitful
and production of lovely and loving children. It is a fortunate position
for teachers and people connect with education institutions, also for those
engaged in publication of literature and for gain by speculation in stocks
or similar securities.
VENUS IN THE SIXTH HOUSE gives the person faithful servants who will work
for his interest if he is an employer. If he is an employee, it will make
him well liked by his employers and fellow-workers. It is a fairly good po-
sition for health provided the person does not abuse it. That is to say,
the constitution is harmonious, but not very strong. If the health is
guarded with care it will remain in good condition for life, but a very
little abuse may turn the scales the other way and make the person an in-
valid.
VENUS IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE is one of the surest signs of domestic felicity.
It signifies an early marriage and an increase of prosperity after that
event. If the person finds it expedient to enter into partnership on a
business basis the presence of Venus tends to make this relationship harmo-
nious and beneficial. It is also a good sign that if litigation seems
[PAGE 174] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
necessary some way will be found to settle the matter without actual rup-
ture. This position is good for actors, singers, and others whose calling
brings them before the public in a vocal capacity for it ensures a kind and
sympathetic reception on the part of their audience.
VENUS IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE will bring gain by marriage, partnership or legacy
if it is well aspected, but if it is afflicted it brings loss and disap-
pointment in love, or an extravagant marriage partner, and legal trouble
over a will.
VENUS IN THE NINTH HOUSE is a very fortunate position if Venus is well
aspected, for being so highly elevated here it exercises considerable influ-
ence in life and makes the disposition exceedingly kind, sympathetic and
helpful so that by these qualities the person becomes much esteemed and
sought after, particularly in charitable or religious work, for this posi-
tion also brings out the devotional side of the nature. It gives a love of
music, art and drama as well as everything that has an influence for soul
upliftment. Whenever the person journeys from one place to another for gain
or for pleasure. Venus in the Ninth House will smooth the path before him
and make his trip thoroughly enjoyable. If Venus is afflicted in the Ninth
House the person will long to do or to be all the foregoing things, but
[PAGE 175] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
will find it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible to accomplish his de-
sire.
VENUS IN THE TENTH HOUSE is one of the best signs of general success in the
life when well aspected. The person who has this position becomes very
popular, particularly with the opposite sex, and will rise in the social
scale through marriage. It gives an ability to avoid trouble in life and
extract from it all the pleasure there is in every situation. Comfortable
financial circumstances attend upon the person all through life and foster a
general attitude of optimism. When Venus is afflicted in the Tenth House
the person is looked down on by those in his social environment and though
he tries to ingratiate himself with those who are in the charmed circles, he
will find himself left with snubs and insults. A hasty or ill-considered
marriage is apt to make matters worse and bring him farther into disrepute,
as a scapegrace.
VENUS IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE if well-aspected brings to the person hosts of
friends who are willing and anxious to aid him in the realization of his
hopes, wishes and desires, but it depends upon the nature and character of
the sign wherein Venus is placed as well as on the strength of the aspects
whether they will be able to do so or not. For instance, if Venus is in the
[PAGE 176] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
Eleventh House in Aries or Scorpio, one of the martial signs where she is
weak, and aspected only by sextiles from Mercury and the Moon, very little
help can be expected of her compared to what she will give if she is in her
own signs, Taurus or Libra, and aspected by trines from the Sun and Jupiter.
In the case first cited, the friends drawn to the person may be ever so sin-
cere in their wish to help but will not have the ability. In the latter
case they will exert powerful influence and will accomplish wonders. If Ve-
nus is afflicted in the Eleventh House it is very often found that the per-
son attracts friends who impose upon him and use him for their own objects
and when they have so used him to the fullest extend and he cannot serve
their purpose any longer they throw him aside.
VENUS IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE if well-aspected indicates that the person will
benefit from the things signified by this House, viz., occupations connected
with prisons, hospitals or charitable institutions, or by work in a chemical
laboratory or by some such secluded occupation where he does not come in
touch with the public. It also favors study and practice of the occult and
gives a tendency to secret, clandestine love affairs which will probably run
smoothly if Venus is well-aspected, but if she is weak by sign, or afflicted
in the Twelfth House she will cause trouble through jealousy, divorce and
[PAGE 177] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
scandal, or sickness in confinement on account of over-indulgence of the
passions, particularly if Venus is in Scorpio which governs the generative
organs, or in Taurus which gives the same effect by reflex action, where it
signifies self-abuse.
VENUS IN THE TWELVE SIGNS
VENUS IN ARIES lends ardors to the affection of Venus by blending them with
the fire of Mars who is ruler of Aries and for that reason it makes the per-
son very ardent in the expression of affection. This usually leads to
popularity especially among the opposite sex and often results in a hasty
marriage, but that kind of love is not and cannot be lasting. Eventually
the fire of passion burns out the love and marriages brought about by this
position are then fruitful sources of domestic unhappiness. This position
also inclines the person to be rash and impulsive whenever his sympathies
are appealed to, so that he often helps an unworthy cause. Venus in Aries
also inclines the person to general extravagance in his expenditures.
VENUS IN TAURUS is a splendid position for there she is essentially digni-
fied and much stronger than in the other signs with the exception of Libra
[PAGE 178] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
and Pisces where she is respectively dignified and exalted. It is a very
favorable position for financial affairs, especially gains derived through
the person's own efforts in whatever vocation in life he may have chosen.
It gives a friendly and sociable disposition with the ability to inspire re-
ciprocal feelings in others. People with Venus in Taurus are very set in
their opinions concerning correct form and decorum, correct in speech and
once they have formed an opinion they hold to it very tenaciously. They are
generous but not extravagant.
VENUS IN GEMINI blends the beauty of Venus with the mercurial ability to ex-
press so that people who have this configuration are able to choose their
words with singular facility and infuse in them a rhythm which is like music
to the ears of a listener. Therefore this is one of the positions which
make poets, provided of course that other indications in the horoscope sup-
port, for it should always be remembered by the student that no single as-
pect or position is in itself sufficient to mark a prominent characteristic.
To do this the whole horoscope must be blended. This position has a very
refining influence on the mind, inclining to a literary or artistic career.
It makes the person beloved of his brothers and sisters, neighbors and other
people in his immediate environment. This position also inclines to
[PAGE 179] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
marriage and frequently to more than one union. It favors traveling both
for gain and pleasure, especially short journeys.
VENUS IN CANCER blends the characteristics of Venus with those of the Moon
and the psychic watery nature of Cancer. Therefore this position gives the
person a very fruitful imagination and he or she is very part to come in
touch with the inhabitants of the unseen world or at least take up some very
devotional phase of religion; but this is dangerous because Venus is
negative, attracting without selecting or discriminating hence makes liable
to domination by spirit controls and the dangers of mediumship.
VENUS IN LEO is compounding love, for Leo rules the heart and whoever has
this position will be tender-hearted to a degree. Contrary to the commonly
accepted ideas there is a cruel streak in Leo, but when Venus is there,
there is no more loving and tender sign in the zodiac, besides being that
Leo is a fixed sign Venus in this position makes for an unparalleled asser-
tion of the affections when once they have been placed and an unswerving
loyalty to the object thereof. Being that Leo is the fifth sign Venus in
Leo also gives success in entertainment or educational enterprises and the
blending of the Venus ray with the solar brings favor from those above the
[PAGE 180] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
person in the social scale.
VENUS IN VIRGO, the Sixth House sign gives the person a deep and tender sym-
pathy for the sick and people with this position make good nurses. This po-
sition also favors occupation as a chemist, or a dietitian who is concerned
with the preparation of foods for the maintenance or attainment of health.
If the person has employees or subordinates under his management his rela-
tions with those people will always be very pleasant, and they will serve
him well.
VENUS IN LIBRA, the Seventh House sign is essentially dignified and strong,
This is one of the positions which testify to a fruitful and congenial mar-
riage or successful partnership. It gives musical or artistic ability and
makes the person popular in public life. If engaged as a speaker or singer
it ensures an appreciate audience whenever he appears in public.
VENUS IN SCORPIO is the worst position of all in which she may be placed,
for here again the love ray of Venus blends with the martial fire of passion
in the sign governing the genitals so that if there are no other redeeming
and restraining influences in the horoscope love turns to lust and the un-
bridled gratification of an exaggerated sexual desire, especially if the
[PAGE 181] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
Moon or Mars are there. This is apt to undermine the constitution and
though that may not be apparent for a long time the effect of such a sapping
of the vitality will some time be felt and cause a general breakdown, but
that, of course, is nothing compared with the moral effect of the practices
indicated by this passion. It should be said furthermore for the benefit of
those who have this position that it does not matter whether such abuses
take place in wedlock or not; Nature does not care whether they have been
legalized by man-made law or not. From her standpoint they are a violation
of the law of life and will be punished whether sanctioned by society or
not. This position also gives a love of luxury and anything that stirs the
emotions or wherein the senses may revel. Curiously enough it also some-
times gives a sense of deep religious devotion which them serves as an out-
let for the overcharged feelings of the native. This position also creates
jealousy and trouble in marriage and the reputation of the person is apt to
be smirched. A well-aspected Venus in Scorpio is liable to bring a legacy.
VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS. This is another of her strongest positions for there
her qualities blend with those of Jupiter, the planet of benevolence, to
foster love and good-will among men. Therefore also this position indicates
[PAGE 182] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
a genial and optimistic disposition, a sympathetic, kind and generous heart,
a love of God expressed in religious devotion, or love of man shown by phi-
lanthropy and charity. It indicates a refined mind, cultured, and fond of
drama, art and music. It fosters the imagination and intuition and like the
other double-bodies signs Gemini and Pisces, it inclines to plurality of
marriages.
VENUS IN CAPRICON, the Tenth House sign, gives social success and popular-
ity, but Venus does not blend well with Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn.
There is therefore a slight tendency to melancholy in people who have Venus
in that position, Nor are they ever secure in the favors which they receive
from other people or in their popularity, for Saturn has a tendency to throw
them down when they have reached the highest pinnacle. Therefore, though
this influence may help them to climb the ladder of advancement in social
circles or in business they are never safe in their position. This influ-
ence makes a person very jealous of honor and he takes it to heart when
sometimes Saturn throws him down. Venus in Saturn's sign often causes the
person to disregard the fact that disparity in ages is so fatal to happiness
in marriage and hence if he marries young he takes someone who is much older
than himself for a partner or if married in later years he selects someone
[PAGE 183] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
who is still in the bloom of youth with the almost inevitable result that
disagreement and dissolution of the marriage tie take place in the course of
a few years. Frequently also people with this position of Venus marry for
business or as a matter of convenience. In short Venus never reaches her
legitimate expression of love in Saturn's House and therefore such unions
are always a source of sorrow and disappointment to the contracting parties.
VENUS IN AQUARIUS indicates a blending of the Uranian qualities, indepen-
dence, impatience of restraint, disregard of convention, desire for
originality, uncompromising sincerity and intuition, with those of Venus and
as a result we find that people with this position refuse to be bound by the
usual restrictive rules of society in their love affairs and follow their
heart's inclination regardless of what others may say or think. They are
firm believers in the theory of soul-mates, affinities, et cetera, and li-
able to act in the most unexpected manner with such startling suddenness
that neither they nor anyone else are able to foresee what they may say or
do next. But at the same time they are so loving and sincere in their con-
victions that friends never fail them and whatever success they attain in
[PAGE 184] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
life is usually due to the efforts of friends to help them to realize their
hopes, wishes and aspirations.
VENUS IN PISCES is in her own exaltation sign where she again blends with
the benefic ray of Jupiter and as Pisces is a watery sign this position sig-
nifies a powerful emotional nature, subdued and toned down by the element of
sorrow inherent in the twelfth house sign. This position therefore indi-
cates someone capable of feeling a sentiment such as that felt by our Savior
when He said: "Come unto Me all ye that are weak and heavy laden and I will
give you rest." Thus Venus in Pisces indicates a nature yearning and aching
to assist those who are afflicted by bodily ills or suffering from sorrow.
This position also gives an intense love of music and when other testimonies
concur, considerable ability to express either vocally or instrumentally,
for music is the most wonderful outlet for the deepest emotions of which the
human soul is capable. People with Venus in Pisces are especially liable to
financial imposition on the part of others and trouble through an illegal
marriage.
[PAGE 185] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
VENUS IN ASPECT WITH OTHER PLANETS
THE SUN PARALLEL OR CONJUNCTION VENUS calls out the artistic side of the
nature, making the person fond of music, art and poetry. It also strength-
ens the love-nature and if the configuration occurs in the seventh house it
is a positive testimony of unalloyed marital bliss. In the second or eighth
house it leads to extravagance of the person or his mate, in Scorpio it is
not good for the morals and in Pisces it leads to intemperance, but gener-
ally speaking, these aspects strengthen the constitution, increase the
popularity and make social intercourse smooth so that the person finds many
friends and keeps them.
As the orbit of Venus is so small she never forms the sextile, trine,
square or opposition to the Sun.
MERCURY CONJUNCTION, PARALLEL OR SEXTILE TO VENUS (Note.--Venus and Mer-
cury are never more than 76 degrees apart, therefore they can only form the
conjunctions, parallels and sextiles, but not the trine, square nor opposi-
tion.)
These aspects make the person cheerful and companionable with a
good-natured disposition and a desire for society. They also give the abil-
ity for music and poetry, especially if in the Ascendant and are a general
indication of success in salesmanship, for such people are suave, affable
[PAGE 186] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
and persuasive.
THE MOON CONJUNCTION, PARALLEL, SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS. The Moon is
significator of marriage for a man and therefore the good aspects between
Venus, the planet of love, and the Moon are good indications of a happy mar-
riage when they occur in a man's horoscope. But in a woman's horoscope
these aspects operate upon the health, for the Moon is the planet of fecun-
dity and has rule over the female functions in particular which are so large
a factor in the health of a woman; this latter is much strengthened by the
good aspects of the Moon and Venus. These aspects make the person an orator
with a fruitful imagination; give love of pleasure, music and art, and an
engaging personality, very attractive to the opposite sex, because kindly,
affectionate and sympathetic. They tend to general success in life and the
person usually has sufficient for the day and the way.
THE MOON SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO VENUS is an indication of trouble in
marriage for a man, because the wife described by an afflicted Venus will be
slovenly and of dissolute habits which will destroy domestic happiness. In
a woman's horoscope it indicates disturbance of the female functions and it
also gives a tendency to digestive troubles and poor circulation when in the
[PAGE 187] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
horoscope of either sex. These aspects also give a liability to trouble
through slander and public scandal.
SATURN SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS. The good qualities of Venus are love
and affection and the good qualities of Saturn are tact, diplomacy, method,
system, justice, thrift and economy. We may therefore judge that when these
two planets are configurated in good aspect they make the person faithful
and true, just and methodical, qualities which make for success in all de-
partments of life. Therefore a person with these aspects will be much
sought as a friend or advisor, or as a person to be trusted with any commis-
sion requiring sterling honesty and ability. They make the person simple in
his tastes and of impeachable morality, and give honor, esteem, health and
easy circumstances.
SATURN PARALLEL, CONJUNCTION, SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO VENUS brings out
the evil qualities of the two planets and troubles which are thus generated
usually come through the person's relations with the opposite sex. It makes
him underhanded and scheming to gratify his passions often in an unusual
manner and his perverted desires are usually directed against some one who
is much younger than himself. If regular marriage relations are entered
into, such a person is usually a demon of jealousy who makes life a burden
[PAGE 188] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
for the marriage partner on account of his suspicious nature. People with
these afflictions are also stingy in all money matters and exceedingly
avaricious. They have poor business judgment and are therefore liable to
losses, failure and bankruptcy.
JUPITER PARALLEL, CONJUNCTION, SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS is one of the
nest signs of success and general good fortune. It favors the accumulation
of wealth and the enjoyment of all the luxuries of life. It is a good indi-
cation of a successful and happy marriage, social prestige and the respect
of all whom the person comes in contact. It gives the person a jovial, op-
timistic, generous and large-hearted disposition, and makes hospitable to a
degree; interested and active in philanthropic measures, a liberal mind tol-
erant of the views of others even where he differs radically, fond of plea-
sure, traveling parties, and capable of enjoying life to the fullest extent.
These aspects also give talent for music, especially if either planet is in
Pisces.
JUPITER SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO VENUS gives the same luxurious likings as
the good aspects, but limits the ability to satisfy them; although such
people make the most frantic efforts to present a fine front to the world,
they are generally found out to be shams. Their lack of business ability is
often responsible for failure and bankruptcy and they are very liable to
[PAGE 189] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
suffer losses through the treachery of others. Love and marriage also are
sources of sorrow for those whom Venus and Jupiter are afflicting. They are
apt to be jilted before marriage or the marriage partner may prove faithless
and may abscound. These aspects also produce and amorous nature likely to
take liberties regardless of the laws of decency and to be faithless to mar-
riage vows. They make people extremely self-indulgent and in Pisces they
predispose to drink.
MARS SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS will give an ambitious, aspiring and ad-
venturous nature, amorous and extremely demonstrative in its affection, very
fond of sports and pleasures. It gives the person an abundance of energy
and business acumen, consequently he has a splendid earning capacity but he
wastes money for he loves above all things to make a great outward show and
display. Being a free spender he is also very popular among his associates,
and being, as already said, of an amorous nature he marries either very
early or the marriage is a very hasty one.
MARS CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO VENUS does not always operate in the same
manner, but is to be classed as a good or bad aspect according to circum-
stances and the matter to be judged. For instance, Mars conjunction Venus
makes the person less blunt and domineering, more kind and polite; it is
[PAGE 190] THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS
therefore good in that respect; but the conjunction also strengthens he pas-
sional nature, especially if it occurs in Scorpio; and in the Twelfth House
it leads to self-abuse so that in those cases it is decidedly bad.
MARS SQUARE OR OPPOSITION VENUS. See page 330.
URANUS SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS makes the person mentally alert, of quick
intuitive perception and exceedingly magnetic, especially to the opposite
sex; and he also attracts hosts of friends who will be a benefit and assis-
tance to him. These aspects give love of art, music and poetry and are fa-
vorable indications of a happy marriage often at a very early age, or one
suddenly consummated. They also sometimes bring the person love of a pla-
tonic nature.
URANUS CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO VENUS. There is a doubt as to whether
these aspects should be classed as good or evil, which must be settled in
the individual horoscope where they occur for they may work either way, de-
pending upon the other configuration. If Venus is otherwise afflicted in
the horoscope, for instance the conjunction or parallel will further accen-
tuate her evil qualities, but if she is well placed or aspected Uranus will
bring out the nobler side.
[PAGE 191] VENUS, THE PLANET OF LOVE
URANUS SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO VENUS. The square or opposition always
brings trouble through the sex relation: a hasty, ill-considered union,
quarrels, divorces, public scandals through clandestine intercourse and kin-
dred irregularities, with loss of friend, prestige and popularity, exile
from home and family and sudden financial losses through unexpected or un-
foreseen happenings. There is a general lack of balance, an erratic person-
ality.
NEPTUNE SEXTILE OR TRINE TO VENUS makes an inspirational musician. It gives
a fertile imagination and deep emotions, a nature that is pure and chaste,
hence occasionally it leads to platonic unions and companionship of the most
esthetic nature.
NEPTUNE CONJUNCTION OR PARALLEL TO VENUS is to be judged on the same line as
indicated in the case of Mars and Uranus.
NEPTUNE SQUARE OR OPPOSITION TO VENUS makes the person liable to sorrow,
loss and trouble, especially through the marriage partner or anyone else in
whom he trusts. People with these aspects should be particularly careful to
avoid anything which has in it an element of chance or speculation, for they
are sure to lose, especially in dealing with large companies or corpora-
tions.
