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 12th House:

There is often a natural tension represented by Venus in the 12th House between the quality of selfhood that is a necessary component of both relationship and evaluation and your conscious or unconscious focus on losing your selfhood.  Having Venus in the 12th House, you must learn to balance the legitimate interests of the self with your desire to attain selflessness if you are to be successful in your relationships and if you are to authenticate your values. You must realize, at some level, that the ego – though it be an illusion – is a necessary tool for functioning within the illusion of existence.

With Venus in the 12th House, you are capable of sensitive and compassionate behavior in relationships, true concern for others, a perception from a higher perspective and the adoption of a value system that is based upon selfless service to others. While engaging in compassionate social interaction, it is often the case that you feel the need to withdraw temporarily and focus within yourself.  This serves to recharge you, provide a needed rest and preserve the balance that you have established.  You are prone to take the needs of others into consideration before your own needs are met.

As an individual with Venus in the 12th House, you evaluate your situation and that of others from a selfless and sensitive perspective and are ever ready to respond with empathy and care. For this reason, it is generally essential that you spend some time alone with yourself,  or you risk burn-out. With Venus in the 12th House, if your attitude and assumptions are not in balance, the drain upon your psychic resources that others impose generally will debilitate you in some manner. Subconsciously, you may adopt defense mechanisms against this debilitation and these mechanisms themselves are likely to be negative. You may experience much pain and suffering in the world, either directly or in empathy with others. This experience generally has a marked effect on you, either in a positive or a negative direction.

Insecurities

Having Venus in the 12th House, you have no idea of an authentic self and you are, therefore, at the mercy of each and every pull from without. You may think that you give to others, but in reality either they take until you have nothing left or you “give” to feed your ego and to try to establish some identity as a “selfless soul” of “superior character.”

As an individual with Venus in the 12th House, whatever defense mechanisms your subconscious may try to insert in order to protect the ego, you are more likely to be taken advantage of. Thus, you may engage in a series of self-destructive relationships in which your partner takes from you and leaves you in pain. You may make choices that are extremely poor and lead down a self-destructive path. With Venus in the 12th House, you are often attracted to that which will be your own undoing. Often, this attraction is bound up with some illusion or fantasy.  Frequently, you are deceived. Having been deceived so often, sometimes, in self-defense, you become the deceiver and exploiter yourself.

Evaluation Focus

With Venus in the 12th House, your tendency is to evaluate people, things and situations from a selfless point of view. Sometimes, you may have no clear idea about your own values, but you attempt to please others by adopting their tastes and values. If who are able to define your values, generally you will find that you rank highly such qualities as generosity, service to others, contemplation, sincerity and sensitivity. However, if you have not examined your values, you may remain confused. You may be subject to deception and being led astray or may find yourself living in an illusion, unable to distinguish the real from the false. Sometimes, your values and choices may be borne out of your experience of suffering.
