How does each planetary sign, each house, and the relationships between planetary bodies influence your life? This essential guide lets you harness the energy of your unique astrological influences and gifts!Building on the basics of traditional astrology with an in-depth understanding of the 12 signs, 12 houses, the planets, and the planetary combinations, The Astrology Guide: Understanding Your Signs, Your Gifts, and Yourself includes interpretations of the asteroid Chiron and the recently discovered dwarf planets Ceres, Eris, and Sedna. Beginner and advanced practitioners will benefit from its mastery of chart interpretation and its understanding of the gifts (and challenges) of planetary energies.Rather than interpreting planetary influences as 'good' or 'bad', thereby putting the individual in a box, The Astrology Guide looks at the "gift" and the corresponding 'shadow' each planet, sign, house placement, and planetary combination in the astrology chart offers. The 'shadow' is a concept first coined by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung that describes those aspects of the personality that we choose to reject or repress, and embracing the planetary shadow creates personal empowerment. The planets are not doing something to you; instead, you can learn to interact with them, dance with their energy, and exist in harmony with them. This informative guide aids in self-discovery and furthers self-empowerment by helping you answer questions such as ...Who are you?What makes you unique?Do you know your unique gifts?What needs to be healed before you fully embrace your unique self?Are there obstacles interfering with expressing your unique gifts or are these obstacles the gift?Is there a story you are reflecting that is influenced by a prominent planet, asteroid, or a newly discovered dwarf planet in your chart?How do you relate to the Moon's Nodal influences in your birth chart?Is there an archetypal story that resonates with you?How do the minor aspects to your Personal Planets enrich your understanding of your talents and abilities?What are the flaws or the 'shadows' following you around?Are those shadows bringing you down...taking away your joy?Do these shadows include traumas, blocks, and wounds?And, much, much more!The Astrology Guide will develop your resilience to life's cycles and outer influences and show you the unconscious parts of yourself that subtly influence your behaviour.

Excerpt from Book

Venus Named after the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty, we inevitably associate Venus with love and relationships. She was worshipped historically in many civilizations, such as Aphrodite in Greece, Ishtar in the Middle East, Freya in Scandinavia and Cybele in Asia Minor. Venus has always been connected with love, beauty, creative artistry, sexual pleasure and relatedness. More basically though, Venus is associated with what we like and what we dislike, with what we value, and what we don''t value. Love and relationships are a direct result of how we feel about other people. Similarly, Venus rules money, possessions, and personal values because money, possessions, and personal values are a direct result of how we feel about ourselves. What do we really want out of life, and what are we willing to give up to get it? Venus is unique in several ways, including its orbit around the Sun. According to Scientific American, "Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus, the sun rises in the west." In our solar system, Venus and Neptune have nearly circular orbits. Neptune is considered the higher octave of Venus in esoteric astrology. Most planets have slightly elliptical orbits. Also, Venus rotates very slowly, it takes 243 Earth days to complete one rotation.When plotted from an Earth-centered perspective, there is a noticeable rhythm in the motion of Venus. Every 8 years, Venus returns to the same place in our sky on about the same date, known as the eight-year cycle of Venus. This cycle was of great interest to ancient people such as the Maya. In a January 7, 2022, post in Earth Sky by Guy Ottewell, "The word pentagram - or five-sided figure - is used because, over the eight years, each phenomenon - each relative position of Earth, Venus, and the sun - occurs five times. Then, over the next eight years, they repeat five times almost identically." Every 8 years Venus dances with the Earth forming a nearly perfect geometric pattern that looks like a Rose. It is called the Rose of Venus or the Pentagram of Venus. Incidentally, Venus rules roses! Gorgeous geometry in the orbit of Venus The mandala above shows the relationship between Venus and the Sun from the point of view of the Earth (measured 2,000 times, every 5 days, starting on 6-12-1882 CE!). The Rose of Venus as seen from Earth is a reminder of the sacred geometry and mystical patterns that always exist in life. Venus is also known as the planet of love and relationships, through its skill at reconciling opposites and the creation of harmony and beauty. In the natal chart, Venus can only be in a sign up to 48 degrees from the location of the Sun. This means that, at most, Venus will be in a sign two signs away from the Sun sign. Venus in the Signs Venus is the planet of love, relationships, beauty, values, comfort, money and material resources. Venus moves through the signs of the Zodiac providing information on how a person expresses themselves in relationships, the type of things they value, how they use their material resources and their social and aesthetic values. Venus also relates to our own value and self-worth and the ease and manner in which our value is expressed in society. Venus in each of the signs and houses and in combination with the other planetary energies can indicate how we reach out to others as well as how we respond to others when they reach out to us. Venus in Aries Venus in Mars ruled Aries can be assertive in pursuing objects of their interest. They do not tend to be shy and reticent. Rather, they can be charming and romantic and will make a good first impression. They are comfortable with the chase and perhaps less comfortable being pursued. They fall in love quickly and can have an instinctive knowing if there is chemistry with those they pursue. In traditional astrology, Venus is considered to be in detriment in Mars ruled Aries since it opposes Venus ruled Libra. Venus in Aries doesn''t inherently strive for balance and peace. Their job is to keep the spark going in relationships and social gatherings. They are attracted to free-spirited and independent partners that are not overly dependent. Nonetheless, they want their partner''s attention when they are ready for it. They value bravery and directness in themselves and in others. Gift These natives lend enthusiasm and sparkle to social gatherings as they mingle about with great ease. In personal relationships, natives with this placement are ardent, passionate and romantic lovers. They generate an air of excitement in mutual activities and are generally not at a loss for keeping those around them stimulated and engaged.

Shadow Flirtatious and aggressive in their approach, individuals with this placement can get too hung up in the chase and not end up with the personal fulfillment that they want and need. They can demand a lot of personal attention and they can place their own needs in front of those of their close personal relationships.

Gift Venus in Taurus natives are easy going, pleasing to look at and tend to have sex appeal that is inviting and non-threatening.
