The placement of Venus in Sagittarius indicates that you have a need for expansiveness and understanding in your relationships. Your judgments and value system are likely to be based on concepts in which you have come to believe. The self-reinforcing aspect of this dynamic often results in strongly held beliefs and opinions. On the other hand, with Venus in Sagittarius, your need to be able to explore and understand often manifests as a need for “room” and freedom in your relationship(s). Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Sagittarius are a result of your need to be able to explore the world and yourself through and within your relationships and value system.

The Venus in Sagittarius placement is generally harmonious, as symbolized by the natural sextile between Sagittarius and Venus-ruled Libra. However, the natural quincunx between Sagittarius and Taurus, which is also ruled by Venus, suggests that there are some inherent tensions in this placement. These tensions generally are associated with issues involving conflict between the Sagittarian need for quest and the stability that is desired in relationships and value systems. Sagittarius is the Mutable Fire sign. The Venusian functions are symbolically amplified in Sagittarius’s changeable fire energy. This freedom, plus the beneficent influence associated with Jupiter’s rulership of Sagittarius, may allow the Venus-symbolized functions to find greater fulfillment.

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

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in Sagittarius, you compensate for your own inner insecurity by seeking expansiveness in your relationships. The more friends you have or, if your mores and opportunity allow, the more relationships you explore, the more you can feel good about yourself and convince yourself of your own self-worth. This may cause you to overextend yourself in this arena, leading to a plethora of superficial relationships. Having Venus in Sagittarius, you can also develop a “bigger is better” attitude. This is another way for you to compensate for feelings of insecurity and inferiority. You do this by identifying with big and important things, thus aggrandizing yourself through association. This attitude of valuing what is grand can also lead to poor judgments that result in excess.

Venus in the 5th House:

With Venus in the 5th House you are likely to enjoy a robust and expressive sense of beauty and relationship. The 5th House affords the Venusian function a chance to fully develop in elaborate fashion. Here, Venus’ energy can be completely expressed and developed to its mature potential. In the 5th House, your evaluation of your sense inputs and your awareness of and involvement in relationship become self-conscious, but in a fresh and innocent way. Having Venus in the 5th House, you not only become concerned with how you value and relate to your physical and social environment, but with what you can do with the Venusian function to embellish your persona. This involves a certain amount of awareness of how others perceive and validate your tastes and judgment and your way of relating. You will generally endeavor to display your most positive side in these matters, perhaps hiding your shadow to avoid disapproval.

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, you can be expected to express your sense of beauty and form. Whatever your tastes, especially in the arts, music, drama, poetry, etc., these should be evident to those who know you, for they will be expressed. If you have any talent in these areas, you will probably try your hand at artistic creativity. Having Venus in the 5th House, you will at least wish you could express yourself creatively and will likely appreciate those who do.  You are also not likely to be shy about expressing your opinions about what you dislike or find ugly.

Insecurities

With Venus in the 5th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be unwilling to surrender yourself to another, or to purify your values so that they are selfless. This will lead you to hold back your self-expression. The values that you do express will be false and superficial. Your sense of beauty will be flawed by selfishness and your taste will be for show only – an attempt to gain others’ approval. Overcompensating for your insecurity, you may be vociferous in expressing your likes and dislikes but you care neither for the sensitivities of others nor for your own true affections.

In relationships, with Venus in the 5th House, you will hold yourself back, fearful that what you express may be rejected. Out of timidity, you may also fail to express your tastes and preferences. You may therefore appear to others to be a shallow personality, without passion, without a sense of yourself and without much to give in a relationship.

Evaluation Focus

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, your evaluative and judgmental function is focused in the creative arena.  For this reason, you may have a well-developed (or at least pronounced) sense of artistic taste. You are likely to be particularly appreciative of the artistic expression of form, beauty and harmony. In fact, more than others, you are likely to be sensitive to the form inherent in a work of art.

Having Venus in the 5th House, you may also be very focused on expressing your judgment and taste. You are likely to make known to others what your likes or dislikes may be. This may be done directly (verbally) or indirectly through an open (sometimes ostentatious)  display of taste.
