Rules: Taurus / 2nd house; Libra / 7th house
Natal significance: Venus shows how you relate affectionately to others, how you form and deal with relationships, how you give and receive love. It also shows your values, as well as what you value in a material sense, and physical pleasures. In a woman's chart, Venus shows how you see yourself as a woman, your feminine identity; in a man's chart, it shows his "feminine side," or inner femininity, as well as what he seeks from relationships with women.
Transiting significance: Venus highlights relationships, social life, money and possessions. The house Venus is passing through shows where you may be inclined to seek affection, or where you may be having financial worries -- or prosperity, depending on the aspects to Venus. When Venus is retrograde, you may feel compelled to revisit baggage about past relationships or even reconnect with an old love.
