With Venus in Leo, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to operate subjectively, for your objective understanding of the world
is coloured by your conscious aims in life to a considerable extent.  You are
therefore more likely to be interested in yourself in relation to other people
rather than in abstract ideas about the nature of the world around you.  You
wish to be the leader in matters of relationship, and you will like or dislike
people according to how you value them personally, rather than according to
any theoretical considerations.  Although you are likely to be a warm and
friendly person, you may tend to come over rather strong in your affections,
which is all right as this is acceptable to the other person, but you may need
to learn that other people may have their own ideas about what is desirable
also; you need to learn to give and take rather more, for you tend to identify
with your strongly held beliefs about the world.  Provided you watch out for
a tendency to play the lead role excessively, your inspiration can provide you
with a fund of creative ideas for you to realise in practice.
With Venus in Virgo, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to show itself at a practical level, for your objective understanding of
the world in general is coloured by your desire to attend to the details of
implementing a plan rather than studying the world as a whole.  This means that
you concentrate on the small points in a situation rather than the large when
you try to make the world run as you believe is desirable.  This attention to
detail can make you a most helpful person who is quick to see what needs to be
done to make things run smoothly, but it also gives you a fairly strong critical
faculty, and you are likely to tell people if you think that they are not paying
sufficient attention to the practical applications of a strategem.  You are
likely to set high standards for yourself in the running of your life, and you
should remember that not everyone can live up to them, and they may have other
standards for themselves.  Ideally your common sense will enable you to under-
stand that there are in fact many possible ways of looking at the world, and
your way is not necessarily any better or worse than that of anyone else.
With Venus in Libra, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to be emphasised, for your understanding of the world in general is ass-
isted by your ability to take a relatively objective view of things.  You show
a positive interest in the world and in relationships, for you understand that
you will learn more if you are involved with other people.  You are probably
fairly easy going, for you are able to see that there are a wide variety of
possible ways of approaching a situation, and you are not quick to be critical
of any specific approach.  You are likely to be well-liked because of your
general tolerance, but there is a drawback inherent in your attitudes; you may
be so easy-going that you find it hard to commit yourself to any given course
of planned action because you can see too many possibilities, or you may pass
the buck, allowing other people to make decisions for you.  In either case, if
other areas of your chart suggest self-assertion to be important to you, you
may feel paralysed by your inability to make decisions, but on the whole your
ability to compromise will win you more successes than failures.
With Venus in Scorpio, your conscious appreciation of the world and other people
tends to be influenced strongly by how you are feeling at the time, for your ob-
jective understanding of the world is highly coloured by subjective emotional
considerations.  You rely highly upon your emotional opinions when dealing with
other people, and if you like someone you will become intensely involved with
them, just as you will make it plain if you disagree with them.  Other people
may not always understand the amount of emotional conviction that underlies
your opinions and value judgements, and they may find you rather hard to fathom
out, at least until you let them get to know you better.  Once you have taken a
stance over some aspect of the world, you are unlikely to change your mind, and
while your strong-mindedness can certainly be an asset, other people may tend
to see it rather as stubbornness or inflexibility.  You certainly need to re-
examine your views about the world from time to time to ensure that your opin-
ions are indeed based upon a certain amount of reason, rather than pure feeling,
then your strong capacity for human understanding can manifest at its best.
