Venus in Aries in the Seventh 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 7th House:

Venus rules the 7th House and this placement gives it a favored position. Particularly the relationship function of Venus achieves an easy expression here. With Venus in the 7th House, you are likely to possess highly developed relationship skills. At the least, your relations with others will be of utmost importance to you. You not only place a high value on interpersonal relationships, but your entire value system tends to be people-oriented. Having Venus in the 7th House, you tend to evaluate whether a thing is pleasing or displeasing according to its effect on the quality of your relationships. This may cause you, at times, to lay too much emphasis on the opinions of others, deferring to their preferences for the sake of interpersonal harmony.

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in the 7th House, if your sense of self is insecure, you will go through relationships in a dependent mode. You will be drawn to interpersonal relationships so strongly that you will not be able to imagine an existence or a personality separate from the relationship. You almost cease to exist as an entity. With Venus in the 7th House, relationships then become just a crutch for your own insecurity. Your partner becomes a substitute for your own authenticity. You live totally within the relationship and, if the relationship is threatened, you feel threatened with disaster, because without your partner, there is nothing left of you.

 Evaluation Focus

Having Venus in the 7th House, your evaluative faculty is focused on the area of interpersonal relationships.  How things and events affect the relationships in which you are involved becomes the critical evaluative factor for you. You are also inclined to evaluate how the actions of others will affect you. You also have a tendency to be more active in making judgments concerning people and relationships than about other things. With Venus in the 7th House, you may be considered to be a shrewd judge of people or you may become overly critical and judgmental of others.
