The Dark Side of a Venus Dominant Birth Chart

However, there is nothing purely good or bad. Overdoing Venus has a destructive effect:
too much of a good thing turns into a bad thing.

The negative manifestation of Venus includes greed, envy, self-indulgence. These can be
frequently present with an afflicted Venus. Venus is a very sensitive planet, it doesn’t cope
with hard aspects well. Actually, hard aspects with any planet are a great challenge in the
birth chart.

For example Venus-Saturn aspects can make finding real love and experiencing true
intimacy hard for you. Even the harmonious aspects are challenging in this case. Even
though you are often attractive and there is no lack of prospects, maintaining a fulfilling
relationship does not come easy to you (Saturn delays things).

5/6
In a natal chart with Venus and Pluto dominant planets there is a lot more intensity. You
are charismatic and possess a seductive magnetism few people do. This can be both a
blessing and a course.

A damaged Venus in the natal chart usually makes the person feel worthless of love, have
low self-confidence, and choose the wrong partners. It sounds masochistic, but with
challenging aspects, if you have Venus dominant planet in the birth chart, it can make you
drawn to suffering and hardships.

Venus and Jupiter Dominant Planets: Drowning in Honey

Do you know those people that really know how to enjoy life? Who perhaps even enjoy life
too much?

Venus dominant people are often born hedonists. A person with a Venus dominant
planet in astrology seeks pleasure all the time. This can make life pleasant and fun, but as
all things, it is the best when done within bounds. If besides Venus, Jupiter is dominant in
your birth chart, too, this becomes even more emphasized.

With a strong but afflicted Venus, there is a tendency to engage in love affairs that
on a deep level, do not serve you. Often, you are attracted to partners who don’t
appreciate you and don’t genuinely care for you.

Especially is Taurus is strong in your chart, you are prone to overindulgence. An

afflicted Venus dominant planet can result in overeating, overdrinking,
overspending. Most people with Taurus placements love the finer things in life. You
often spend money on luxuries and on things you couldn’t really afford. This can lead to
bigger problems if it gets out of control.
