With Venus in Aries, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
is rather subjective, for your objective understanding of the world is coloured
by an unconscious drive to involve yourself with the world directly and person-
ally.  You are keen to relate to the world, and to other people, and in relat-
ionships you are likely to take the lead, not hesitating to express your thou-
ghts to your partner.  You may assume that your world view is shared by other
people, but you need to realise that this is not the case, and that there are
many equally valid ways of understanding experience, otherwise you may try to
impose your views on others excessively, when cooperation may be what is needed.
You are at least reasonably sure of how you would like the world and other peo-
ple to be, and you are not likely to hide your views.  People will admire the
honest way you present your preferences, and the ability you show to plan your
life in a dynamic way.  In your eagerness to learn more about the world and how
you relate to it, you may sometimes show impetuousness in your activities, for
when you want something, you want it wholeheartedly and immediately.
With Venus in Taurus, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to come to you through direct experience, for your objective understand-
ing of the world is coloured by an unconscious drive to keep closely in touch
with the details of what is going on around you through your senses.  You tend
to value people and the world according to your perceptions, and once you have
made up your mind about someone your opinion does not change easily.  You have
a preference for long-term relationships wherein you enjoy the rituals and hab-
its that remind you that all is well.  Physical contact is important to you,
and you may develop strong views about which food and drink you like best.
Being based so much upon your direct experience, your overall view tends to be
rather narrow, and you should avoid a tendency towards laziness when it comes
to trying out new activities, for although you are pretty sure about your likes
and dislikes, other people may enjoy more variety; you should in that case not
become too possessive and realise that everyone ticks in a different way, and
some people prefer to explore other ideas than those proven by experience.
With Venus in Gemini, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to come to you through developing as many contacts with other people and
the world as possible, for your objective understanding of the world is coloured
by an unconscious drive to relate your experience to a theoretical framework.
You are keen to add to your store of knowledge in order to refine this framework
and your contacts with the world and other people will be many and varied.  Your
curiousity level is high, and while you have a genuine interest in others, your
real aim is to gain further objective understanding.  This is fine as long as
you do not have too traditional a view of relationships; this would be limiting
for you, and you are likely to find that surprises come along to throw a steady
relationship off balance.  Perhaps you would do best to have a wide circle of
friends and acquaintances who can satisfy your desire for a varied life, and if
you do commit yourself to a steady relationship you will need to ensure that
there is plenty of excitement and versatility in the relationship, so that you
do not find yourself stifled by too much sense of responsibility.
With Venus in Cancer, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to come to you through understanding your feelings, for your objective
understanding of the world is coloured by emotional states which have their
roots in your unconscious.  This means that your likes and dislikes are infl-
uenced by your past memories, and your idea system has a strong subjective bias.
You evaluate people according to how you feel towards them rather than according
to objective criteria, and you will want to be with others who are sensitive to
your needs, just as you are sensitive to theirs.  Other people may have more
ability to detach themselves from their feelings when dealing with the world
at large, and you need to be aware of this, so that you do not become too upset
if you feel you are being forgotten in the interests of something else.  Your
empathetic nature can help you to remember the importance of emotional consid-
erations when dealing with almost any activity, and people will appreciate your
sensitive and caring approach most of the time.  If they don't, the chances are
that you have been mixing with the wrong sort of people for you.
