Someone told me they felt that when you love someone the love grows a little each day. I thought this was well said and I believe they’re right. This seems true, not just in love relationships but in friendships as well.
Do you agree?
Where is your Venus?

Yup. Venus in Pisces in 11th!
I agree, and I think it doesn’t just grow, but it deepens as well. Venus in Aries in the 8th, but nearly in the 9th.
Venus in Sagittarius in the 1st, so I relate very much to the friendship aspect. I don’t take my friends for granted and am willing to devote time & energy to them.
Venus in Virgo.
I hate nitpicking and being a manservant.I have a more of a unviresal love for ppl that grows each day, rather than specific. I am only now realising that people are human (warts and all) so its been tough loving them (and myself too). soo yeah, I am a bit of a Virgo Venus…
OK, I’ll have the guts to disagree. Venus in Libra, 8th house, and no, this has not been my experience. This particular emotion is not what I’m best at, and I find it levels off sooner or later in nearly every relationship I have.
I do have one friend whom I love more and more, so I guess this is a qualified disagreement. It’s rare for me, that’s all.
I definitely agree…Venus in Taurus tho’, so that might have something to do w/it…
p.s. Happy Mother’s Day! 
Venus 0 degree Aries in the 1st house.
My boyfriend is a Cancer Venus. As another Cancer Venus puts it, Cancer Venus people “love to the bones.”
I think love just expands. Through other people.
Oh, and one thing I truly believe in is that you must have healthy respect for yourself first before you can overflow with love to love other people. Self-love! Quite Aries Venus 1st house feel now that I think about it.
Oh yes, and before you know love is deeeeeep: I am never going to get rid of these people

venus in scorp in the 5th house
Venus in Aries in the 5th house…
I don’t know how I feel about this idea. I think if it’s reciprocated, if it’s not a one-way street, and each member of the relationship is giving and taking, I could see it. But from my experience, it’s rarely a 50-50 deal. So I guess I could see it as truth in theory?
*shakes head*
Venus in Scorpio in the 8th. Mine goes up and down and all around. It does grow, but in spurts. And it leaves in spurts as well.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………
It’s not so much as my “love” grows but rather my awareness of the person does. Like, for example, I used to fear and loathe my parents for abusing me then one day, after many, many years of trying to understand why, it hit me! I finally understood them so I could understand “why” they did what they did.
Because of my understanding I was able to love them in spite of their transgressions. I saw them through the eyes of the force that created them and I felt great pity and compassion for their state of existence.
Because I wanted to know “why” I needed to know them and myself, and, through much introspection I found that my “love” grew exponentially for all things living.
It does not matter that “love” is not reciprocated for loving is it’s own reward.
Oh….I forgot. My Venus is in Scorpio (conjunct Neptune and Moon). 1st House.
This is an interesting question. It takes a long time for me to feel that first realization of LOVE for someone but when it happens it’s absolutely 200% there. I love my friends and there is no doubt about it.
I feel that the love grows only when there is growing acceptance of each other and this takes time. Most of my newer friends don’t really know me because I don’t tell them everything about myself – it’s not possible to even do this. I think it takes cultivating a history together & sharing and facing challenges together, for the love to ‘ignite’ then ‘deepen’ or ‘grow’.
(venus in aries, 6th house… opposite Scorpio rising)
venus in gemini…. it’s been a battle… love and hate, love and hate, hot cold back and forth… what and why?
I love retrospectives … Venus is in Sag in the 11th house. Love and friendships matter, it takes a long while for me to trust love or friendships. One day at a time seems to make a lot more sense to me as I have recently celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary, after a ten year being together checking it out time.
Growing worth a day at a time, hmmm relationships and money just two of the goodies Venus keeps her eyes on. I’ll chew on that …
I disagree. My Venus is in Pisces conjunct Pisces sun.
My idea of “love” is too romantic and has dreamy qualities to it that no person can realistically meet. My issue, not theirs.
my love either explodes from nothing to overwhelming way to fast for anyone to handle, or is built ridiculously slowly over the course of years and years, which is more common for me.
my venus is conjunct both saturn and jupiter in libra (4 degrees from jupiter, 4 MINUTES from saturn)
she knows what’s up.
It’s true for me.
Venus conjunct Mars and Pluto in Libra, too many other aspects to list.
Venus in Aries in 11/12 depending on house type. Either way aspects Pluto, moon and Neptune. I love deeply. But if hurt enough and it does take a hell of a lot to get to this point but hurt me ENOUGH and my relationship with you disappears. You disappear. I block you. Neptune conj moon inconj Venus.
I think it can be true, with the right people
Venus in Capricorn 10th conj. MC on one and Mercury on the other side (out of sign – I love like a Cap Venus and try to express that with an Aqua Mercury – really working well haha)
Venus in Taurus in the 8th. Elsa that comment is especially true with children as well as mates.
When they hand you that baby after delivery, you’re somewhat disappointed that you don’t have that made for tv response of how much you’ve loved them. You haven’t even met!
It takes time to know people and that secret side we hide from others and ourselves. Women tell all, with men, it takes a long time for all of those feelings to come up. Men over 50 seem to come into their feelings when the other warrior hunter gatherer stuff cools down.
I love the daily loaded questions Elsa. I wish there was a one size fits all answer. and I enjoy the repartee
Saturn Venus ASC Aquarius.
I am very sad that my next husband, whoever he is, will not have a past with me (as far as I know).
The friends I have known all my life are special in a way no new friend can be. I feel like we really know each other because we came from the same place.
I agree that love grows over time and becomes more mature and special, when it’s reciprocated.
I also know that love can be chipped away until it dies. I’ll forgive you a bunch of times, but each time that love grows smaller until it’s gone one day. When that happens, it’s gone forever.
Venus and Mars both in the 4th both Sagittarius
Mine has grown. I have Venus in Leo in the 12th.
More like ebb and flow from time to time. I tend to distance myself when people try to get closer or lose those who cling. My friendship seems to be more enduring as long I’m free to appear and disappear and be myself.
Unaspected venus in Taurus, 12th house
Oooo, yes. Venus square Pluto (Virgo in 6th), trine Jupiter (Libra in 7th), and conjunct Mars(Gemini in 3rd).
Venus in Scorpio, 9th house. Continued growth has not been my general experience with friends & family, experiencing many highs & lows & sudden endings of friendships & completely ending relationships w family members. But I have enjoyed the people that have come & gone in my life & have learned much.
I agree, it can grow. Both love & friendships <3 Not always in every relationship… but maybe that was never love to being with.
Venus Virgo 11/12th house.
Venus in capricorn in the 4th, overly private and sensitive. I also have aspects to all planets except for mars, mostly conjunctions and squares. So, its quite a battle. Inwardly and outwardly.
Very true, but the love has to be there first. I find there is a very big difference between being friends with a person and loving them. I’ve had many many friends that I have known for years, but I don’t love them. And I have a couple of friends that I have known for only a couple years that I will love unconditionally, forever and ever.
Just for context, I’m not talking about romantic love. That is something else all together to me. Aquarius compartmentalizing I guess. Venus in Aquarius in the 5th.
Venus in Scorpio in the 9th house….I was told the the feeling were always intense. Love or Hate
Yes, this is true. Venus in Libra in the 9th.
It’s like tending a garden. If you nurture it, it will grow. If you neglect it or treat it poorly, it dies.
