WISH UPON A STAR — VENUS TRANSITS AND SHOPPING — PART TWO
Hello dear friends and readers, we were talking about Venus in the natal and preferences for shopping and/or gifts depending on where Venus is in your chart. I’m also including observations gathered over many years…
Women with Venus in Libra — of all the signs, these women would appreciate gifts that symbolize and celebrate the romantic love they share with their mate. Libra is the sign that rules China and Japan; some of the feng shui symbols for love are pairs of objects — like 2 crystal candle-holders, or 2 pink glass swans. Swans mate for life. Venus in Libra women are more traditional — a nice dinner with candles and flowers , a CD of love songs, a pretty framed picture with loved ones — they treasure these things. These women do not respond well to the caveman approach; they value good manners and a well-coordinated wardrobe. They actually hurt if they see colors that don’t match well, like fingernails on a blackboard. They love shopping for clothes or home décor. They dress well and they’ll help you dress well, too, whether you’re male or female. They appreciate clothes and jewelry as gifts, but not the trendy stuff. This is the friend to take with you when YOU go shopping.
Venus in Scorpio women like solving mysteries. Besides mystery novels, some other ideas for gifts along the same lines are a metal detector, puzzle boxes, going to dig for rocks (thunder eggs, crystals, garnets, whatever — depends on where you live), a treasure hunt where you write out clues and at the end is a gift. These women are more likely to explore sexuality than other signs ( another great mystery of life). They like a bit of the jungle in their wardrobe and décor — animal prints, costumes, lingerie, etc. They favor the darker jewel tones, especially cranberry. Opals — a symbol of their hidden fire. I had a friend with this position and years ago we went shopping for her and she said ,”How can you keep finding things I like so much?” And I said, “Because I’ve done your chart and I also grew up in the garment business.” I picked pants in the darker earth tones, well-made but tailored, not fussy. There was a touch of military trim on a jacket, and a beautiful cranberry blouse and another blouse with an animal print. She was quite pleased. Venus in Scorpio women like movies as gifts, too. They’re pretty straightforward and direct and if they don’t like something they’ll tell you. They’re very observant and will surprise you with the gift they give YOU, something you wanted or needed and thought nobody had noticed.
Venus in the fire signs like action and outdoor time. Venus in Sag women are usually very current in their wardrobe; they favor a touch of the unexpected rather than a classic look. They prefer to be casual. The colors for Sag are royal blue and turquoise. Sag is the sign of books and foreign travel; giving a Venus in Sag woman books and movies that enlarge her horizon are favored. She is usually not too domestic but she might like a foreign cookbook as a gift. They usually decorate their home in the world style, mixing art from around the world; they really like unique items from foreign countries as gifts. Maybe you can’t take her to Paris, but you could certainly plan a local trip as a surprise. Sag people absolutely need driving to clear their minds. A gift for her car would also be appreciated — like a special water bottle without the bad plastic, or a cd of a book, or even a set of maps. Again, if you are giving her jewelry, look for the foreign items, like silver from Bali, or crystals or special glass beads from the Czech Republic. Sports gifts are nice, too…depends on if she plays tennis, golf, volleyball, etc.
Venus in Capricorn is as formal as Sag is casual. They want to impress and be socially correct for the occasion. Cap is the sign ruling career, so gifts that enhance their work wardrobe are appreciated. It’s important to remember that Venus in Capricorn women are earthy, they are not cold at all, just reserved until they’re home and the door is locked and the lights are down J…they favor décor that shows wealth and stability. Old money rather than nouveau riche…so choose gifts that blend history with current trends in décor. They like metals and they like the earth element — wood, rock, glass, brick, leather, etc. When Capricorn Venus women go shopping, they like sales at high-end stores. They would rather have one expensive item that lasts for years, whether it is their robe, their sofa, their winter coat, their bedding, their jewels, etc. Generally, they are not impulsive shoppers, they like to have a well thought out plan before they leave the house. She’s a woman who men could go shopping with and feel pretty comfortable. IF this is your loved one, encourage her to experiment a bit with adding some new colors to her wardrobe. She favors all the formal colors — black, navy, charcoal, browns — sometimes she needs a little help letting the child in her come out to play. These women often have to grow up and take on a lot of responsibility at a young age. At 35 they appear to stop aging and by 50 they look younger than everyone else. In general, Caps have a much happier 2nd half of life compared to the 1st half.
Aquarian Venus women — you just never know what to expect. Like opening up Pandora’s Box, every one of them that I have known is different. Most of them prefer casual clothes. Purple and shiny things appeal. This is my sign and my house used to be filled with rainbows from cut crystals hanging in the windows. The others I have known are definitely not afraid of bright colors and they have very eclectic taste. As far as getting them gifts, they like unusual things and what that means you’ll just have to figure out because there is no set pattern. In general, modern gadgets, items for the home that are good for entertaining friends like platters or trays, the latest most interesting novel or inspiring biography. Venus in Aquarius women like inspirational items, things that illustrate a sense of community, and metaphysical books/art/music. Jewelry, yes, but don’t try to buy them clothes; they like to find their own. Here’s couple of ideas for you — those kits that let women put bling on stuff, it’s a kit that contains various jewels, beads, sequins, and the gadget or glue to make them stick. If you want to be romantic with them, try purple flowers, but a stalk of broccoli flowers will amuse them, too, and that counts a lot with Venus in Aquarius — that element of surprise and innovation will please them.
Speaking personally, I have asked my family for manure for Mother’s Day for years. Do they not believe me? I’m a gardener and grow my own flowers and vegetables. If I didn’t mean it, I wouldn’t ask for it — a gift card for manure would thrill me. Maybe it’s my Taurus Moon — moo, moo 🙂 …
Ah, we come to Pisces, the last sign in the zodiac. Venus in Pisces women have an aura of mystery. One thing I’ve noticed about them even if they aren’t actually beauticians, they are so good at implementing the latest trends with hair, nails, and make-up. They are very versatile and adaptable. By far, the most defining characteristic of this woman is her passion for shoes. MANY, MANY pairs of shoes. After all, Pisces rules the feet. That being said, a wonderful gift to give her is shoes, a gift card for shoes, items used to decorate shoes, or a pedicure. They even have jewels now that go on toe nails or rings for toes. The underwater, fishy colors usually appeal most to her — soft blues and greens, lavender, silvery and iridescent tones like fish scales. Bath items are also great gifts, as are nature pictures and trips to the coast. Pisces is one of the Water signs. One of the biggest challenges for this position is learning to be comfortable with ambivalence. If this woman feels outside pressure to make a decision, she will often change her mind later. This can be somewhat disconcerting to those who love her; best to give her time and space to make her own decisions when possible. She loves nature, the sea, and animals. I knew a Venus in Pisces woman many years ago and she was always into some kind of new artistic hobby and with her kids she always had small pets and many different kinds, too. It was fun for her children and educational, too.
Hope you all enjoyed this one…and have a happy holiday tomorrow…Blessings, Jenae
