Venus in Virgo in the Eighth House
The placement of Venus in Virgo indicates a need to be discriminating in your relaties. A propensity to examine your values is also indicated. This often manifests as a need for perfection, either in your relationship(s) or in what you find yourself attracted to. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Virgo are a result of this need to feel that everything is perfect or that everything is under control.
The Venus in Virgo placement is generally a comfortable one for the Venus-associated functions. This is symbolized by the natural trine between Virgo and Venus-ruled Taurus. However, the natural semi-sextile between Virgo and Libra, which is also ruled by Venus, indicates some opportunity for tension in the placement. Virgo is the Mutable Earth sign. The Venusian energy is symbolically constrained or channeled by the structured energy associated with Virgo’s earth element expression. Positively, the changeable earth element forms successive filters for the Venusian functions to operate through. Having Venus in Virgo, this filtering promotes the discriminating faculty so important in values formation and judgment. Thus, 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 Virgo, you are likely to model your femininity to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Virgo. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Virgo-associated traits.

This is accompanied by a constant anxiety over the disappointments that an imperfect world will inevitably provide. Thus, you go through life, worrying, fretting and criticizing and never enjoying or appreciating anything.

Or, your attraction to intimacy and the unseen can result in a richness of perception and relationship that is especially intense and rewarding.

This may involve both sexual pleasure and the sharing of other resources, physical and emotional.

Yet you also scheme to gain what you want from your partner(s), for this is the only thing that is important to you.
