Venus in Aries in the Ninth House

The placement of Venus in Aries indicates that you have a need for independence and to validate your selfhood, both within your relationships and in the way in which you formulate your value system. Very often, the issue of self and other in your relationships is a major emphasis in your life, especially if similar planetary placements and aspects reinforce this. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Aries are a result of your need to assert yourself in spheres of life where others are to be taken into consideration.

There is considerable tension suggested by the placement of Venus in Aries. This is symbolized by the natural opposition between Aries and Venus-ruled Libra. Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign. The active fiery nature of Aries symbolically creates stress for the passive and harmonious nature of Venus. With Venus in Aries, the drive for independence associated with Aries is at odds with the relationship function represented by Venus. This placement calls on you to be creative in expressing the Venus-associated functions in ways that are compatible with the Aries energy.

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

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in Aries, if you are insecure, you will feel that your sense of self-identity is threatened by the compromise and surrender that normally takes place in a relationship. You are likely to be overly assertive in your relationships. At any rate, the fear that you will lose your independence or your self-identity will prevent you from developing your relationships in meaningful ways so that they are truly valid. Having Venus in Aries, because you cannot truly appreciate relationship, your values are all self dominated. Your will to act in order to possess the objects of your desire is likely to be very strong because you feel that you will not be able to enjoy an object unless you act to claim it. Driven by fear to always “grab yours,” however, you are never free to enjoy the beauty around you.

Venus in the 9th House:

Venus in the 9th House suggests that you engage yourself in your experiences and your relationships in a somewhat detached manner but that you are, nevertheless, involved through searching and expanding the realm of your experience. With Venus in the 9th House, you may be driven to use your faculties of perception to understand your experiences and your relationships. You understand through judging and by reflecting on your experience using the mirror of your values. Thus, there is often tension in your relationships and in your perceptions and attitudes that is marked by a pull to understand and experience coupled with a push away so that you can observe and judge.

Having Venus in the 9th House, you may, therefore, have a tendency to like and enjoy those activities where this combination of involvement and detachment is present. Such activities include the pursuit of academic studies, tourism, and spectator sports. The danger, in terms of your relationships, is that you may become an academician, a tourist or a spectator with respect to your relationship(s).

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in the 9th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will avoid any true understanding of your values or your relationships so that you do not risk questioning your ego-based point of view. Without questioning and searching your interior, you are free to experience “anything you like” in the name of widening your horizons. You may justify indiscriminate indulgence with the sophistry that you “understand the world” and have become free of the restrictions that bind more narrow-minded people. Similarly, having Venus in the 9th House, you may prove overly adventurous in your relationships, justifying a lack of fidelity with your need to “understand” and “experience life.” Alternatively, you may blindly go through life, claiming that you “just don’t understand” either people or events.

Evaluation Focus

With Venus in the 9th House, you tend to look at the larger picture when making judgments and to take the broader context into consideration. You usually want to understand a thing or person before passing judgment, but once you think you have such an understanding, you may be very opinionated. You may like things that further your understanding or widen your experience of the world. You may be especially fond of or attracted to academics, travel and sports.
