Venus in Taurus in the Eleventh House

The placement of Venus in Taurus indicates that you have a need for physical and mental security, both within your relationships and in the way in which you formulate your value system. This often manifests as a possessive attitude and a proclivity for acquiring and retaining things that are of value to you. With Venus in Taurus, when an acceptable level of material security is attained, you are likely to feel quite comfortable in your situation. This often translates into a desire and capacity for enduring relationships and steadfast values. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Taurus are a result of your need for sufficiency and abundance in your relationship(s) and as the foundation for your value-centered outlook.

With Venus in Taurus, the Venusian energy is relaxed and at home in Taurus, exhibiting the capacity for a great deal of self-satisfaction. This is symbolized by Venus’ rulership of Taurus. Taurus is the Fixed Earth sign. The stability of Taurus’ fixed earth compliments the harmonious and passive nature of Venus. This often manifests itself in feelings of contentment and valuing what you have. With Venus in Taurus, the value-forming and appreciating functions symbolized by Venus tend to be more pronounced in your psyche and personality than is the case for most people.

Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Taurus, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Taurus. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Taurus-associated traits.

Insecurities

Having Venus in Taurus, if you are insecure, you are likely to fear losing your relationship partner(s) or, more broadly, losing control over your environment. Underlying this fear is your need for enduringness and your subconscious knowledge that nothing lasts.  Your ego depends upon holding onto its possessions in order to give it a sense of enduringness. Yet, the ego secretly knows that it is but transient. Venus in Taurus, therefore, causes you to focus on possession and accumulation, both of people and things, in order to try to stem its fear of annihilation. This promotes in you an underlying attitude that happiness and security are attained by having, but your underlying fear of losing what you have keeps you from enjoying any happiness.

Venus in the 11th House:

As with many of the Venus house placements, Venus in the 11th House is harmoniously placed with challenging potential. The 11th House is in natural trine to the Venus-ruled 7th House, and thus the relationship functions symbolized by Venus are easy and accentuated. The 11th House is square to the 2nd house, however, which is also ruled by Venus. Here, the more personal-oriented evaluative functions of Venus may come into conflict with the socially oriented 11th House. For instance, having Venus in the 11th House, you may have a generous and humanitarian impulse, but with nagging doubts about the wisdom of giving too much. For the most part, however, Venus is comfortable with this placement.

Having Venus in the 11th House, you may use relationships as a vehicle whereby you connect with society and your social purpose. Your life partner relationship(s) may have a strong flavor of social interaction. There may also be a strong sense of concern for the future present in your relationships. Your relationships are likely to bring change into your life, rather than being a force for preserving the status quo. Your tastes and attachments are likely to be affected by the group identity that you adopt. With Venus in the 11th House, there is a danger that you will not own enough of your identity to establish preferences that truly reflect your character. One challenge with Venus in the 11th House is to project your individuality, in a balanced fashion, through the expression of taste and preference.

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will likely fail to develop a sense of your own individuality in the context of the group and society, and your ego will be dominated by the group-ego. In this way, you protect your ego from the risk of exposure. Your relationship is to the group, and your personal, life partner relationship(s) is likely to be role dominated, with the primary emphasis of the relationship being its societal function (married couples with children are likely to call each other “mommy” and “daddy”). Having Venus in the 11th House, your tastes are also completely formed by the group, and you are likely to severely judge opinions and lifestyles that are outside of the group.

Evaluation Focus

With Venus in the 11th House, you generally judge things according to a group standard or in terms of how it affects your relationship to the group. You may ask not “is this good/pleasing for me?” but “is this good/pleasing for society?” or “is this good/pleasing for my group?” You tend to have a broader frame of reference for your evaluative function than simply the personal. Having Venus in the 11th House, you may also have a tendency for your judgment to be influenced by the group of which you are a part. You may also be attracted to group activities, humanitarian endeavors or projects to benefit society and you are likely to value such things highly. You may hold group or social values in higher regard than personal values and will are likely to have a value system that is centered around the good of the whole.
