A Venus in Taurus in the 7 th, close to the descendant, in sextile to Jupiter in Pisces, where Libra rises is a Venus of almost unprecedented dignity.

Untrammelled by the friction of discordant inclinations, a planet in its sign is free to shine forth undimmed. The received wisdom of planets in their own sign is that there is a sympathy. So, let us ask the uncommon question: why is it that having a planet in a sympathetic sign is good, and furthermore, is it always good? A critical respect for conventions is always better than blind acceptance, lest we miss the point. And, most of all, we should be prepared to question it.

A Venus in the 7 th house can be most comfortably channelled into matters of relating. On the whole the theory is sound and reliable, since a Venus in Libra, can be at its most charming and refined. As you may well have heard, it is generally regarded as “a good thing” if a planet falls within a compatible sign! The logic being that the positive qualities of the celestial power can be more easily and more potently expressed and the soul within is lent that celestial power, and his or her life is enriched by it.
