   Very good! And that series of blogs on Mars is soooo funny. Now you have me thinking . . .

   My Venus is in Sagittarius in the 1st & I have Uranus in the 7th. Need lots of room to do my thing whatever it is at the moment. No micro-managing allowed!! My preference is for partners who are independent and occupy themselves. They absolutely HAVE to have a LIFE. However, I also have Taurus on the cusp of the 7th, so sharing at least one or two meals a day & discussing what’s going on with each other works very nicely.

   I read the blogs. That was a teaser (n. 3)! What about the other signs? This is too helpful not to elaborate on

   Yay! I thought you might mean something like that, but I wasn’t sure. Then, with everyone posting about their “type” I really got confused! Thanks, E!

   And, yeah, you pronounced it right. I think - it’s a family name from a book I love, so we both could be wrong, I suppose.

   This video is responsible for getting me hooked on this blog - it’s the first one of yours I ever saw. When you mentioned liking big noses (so do I) and having Uranus in the 7th (me too, and I like ‘em a little quirky), I thought I’d better take a second look. And now y’all can’t get rid of me. Blame this video.

   So, I suppose a woman’s Venus represents her currency, her bait?

   Avery - It’s how you attract, for example with Venus in Leo I am flamboyant, firey, dramatic, etc. And then you factor in the aspects and the house Venus is in…

   I should have also mentioned the 7th house. Anything in there (and the ruler of the 7th) also factors into what you attract. For example, I have a 7th house Uranus so my eccentricity, willingness to go against the grain is also part of my appeal.

   I have Chiron in the 7th ruled by Taurus. My Venus is in Virgo in the 11th house. On the relationship level, my currency is frienship and stability. I’m am intensely turned off by those guys who flash money and talk about the material possessions they own. It just reaks of “There’s not much content to my personality, so let me distract you with my things.” I’m sure a handful of men have considered me a total snob by my reaction to these come-ons.

   I lucked out that when I met my husband he was just getting out of the Army and didn’t have a dollar to show for himself (except for the wonderful GI Bill). He literaly had nothing to try to impress me with other than his personality. Right now we are living wonderfuly comfortable, not too much, not too little. We worked up to our financial stability together, and I actually miss the times when we had very little money….eating leftovers all the time and staying home more often because we didn’t have much spare money to go anywhere. Now he works very hard to pay for our house and for me to be a stay-at-home mom and full-time student. I’m very proud of him, but I can’t lie….I miss the simpler times
   I swear I’m the one of the only people I know who would NEVER want to win the lottery….I’d pay off my house, put some aside for my kids college fund….and give the rest away.

   I do love financial stability, but I don’t like it when that’s the first thing a guy flashes in your face.

   shell–agreed. I’m super turned off by men that flash the cash. my Venus is Conjunct Mars in Aries in my 4th.
   Don’t ever assume you know what I want or I will be instantly be turned off.

   I once dumped a guy because he bought me a drink without asking me if I even wanted one…it was cranberry/vodka. He next saw me with a beer in my hand and wanted to know why I was drinking that? I said “I’ve got two hands and two feet…am I supposed to perch up here on the stool and look pretty and thirsty?”

   I actually left that date and caught a ride home with a friend…slept on his couch and walked 2 miles home the next day because my coat/keys were at the other guy’s house and I was SO STUBBORN to prove what I fucking meant (hellloooo Taurus Sun square Leo Saturn).

   The guy tried to weasel his way back in: “Oh, I’ll drop your keys off!” So he gave me my keys. But not my coat back.

   I took my losses on the coat. Get lost, bigshot. Not interested. Now I’ve got a skinflint for a life partner but he gives me more love and affection and emotional/spiritual fulfillment and freedom than any other man I’ve ever met. He’s a diamond through and through.

    My second house Venus is in Libra. My seventh is Pisces Saturn. Interesting–I now work in diplomacy and it for sure attracts attention and ups my value. And it’s well paying, which is VERY new for me in my life, although I’ve never had money problems or worries. I don’t think there is a job more perfect for me–using my language and cultural knowledge, which is extensive, meeting all kinds of people–there’s a sort of high-quality level to it that appeals to me. I have always loved Audrey Hepburn, for what she seemed to represent: fluent in foreign languages, well-traveled, elegantly dressed, sipping champagne with sauve/debonair types, very sweet with big wondering eyes. Funny thing is, that’s kind of how *I* turned out. I didn’t start out that way!
    Never in my life have I had so many eager suitors, and really well-educated, culturally aware (I don’t mean “high culture” I mean like internationally) pretty good-looking and financially in a good place.
    And I’m old!!! (ok, 41, just for the record).

    It’s nice having them all buzzing around. I am somewhat in my element. The only thing that can ruin it is someone wanting to be exclusive/serious. I like moving from one blossom to the next, like a butterfly. A pink/peach/lavender colored one.
    And yet, I really do love people and see the best in them. I read that Pisces is everyone’s soul mate, and I feel that way about quite a few people. But I also have a Pisces moon.

    So, my Venus is in Taurus. Does that mean I attract people with my stubborness?

    PixieDust that sounds…well, heavenly actually! Thanks for posting it, because as SOON as I read it my gooey Taurus Sun thought: ooooOOOOooooo I’d to get me some of that. All that Venusian imagery!
    RMAOL! Yup, I’m a total flip-flopper (and a Libra North Node to boot)

    Very interesting. Let’s see - how I attract. Venus in Leo means I’m fiery, impulsive, generous. I have shiny, healthy hair. Venus is in the 11th house, and sextile Uranus - I’m detached in a good way. I ask a lot of questions. I’m brutally honest. When flirting my theme song would be Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders.
    My Venus also has good aspects from my moon, mars, mercury,and Jupiter, which makes me want to talk (mercury) frankly (Jupiter) about love and sex (mars). I like dirty talk.

    The planets in my 7th make me want a man who is very masculine and aggressive (mars), philosophic (Jupiter), nurturing (moon), with hidden vulnerabilities (chiron).

    So Elsa, where can we see what we want in a partner? Mars? And is there any way to tell if what we want is actually good for us? (The million dollar question….)
