Venus in Aries in the Twelfth House

The placement of Venus in Aries indicates that you have a need for independence and to validate your selfhood, both within your relaciones 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 relación 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.

Inseguridades

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 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.

Inseguridades

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.

Enfoque de la evaluación

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.
