What draws this person is talk. A striking face holds attention for an evening; a striking sentence holds it for a year. Courtship is conducted largely in words, by message, by the long call that runs past midnight, and the flirtation is quick, light, and frequently mistaken for more than it is. Such people are genuinely surprised to find that someone has read intention into an exchange they experienced as a pleasant game.
The friendships are many and unusually well kept for their number. This Venus remembers what was said and asks about it later, introduces people who ought to know one another, and moves easily between circles that do not overlap. The affection is real but distributed, and a partner who wants to be the sole audience will find the arrangement unworkable. Boredom is the great danger here, felt as a physical restlessness, and it does more damage to relationships than any conflict.
Money goes on books, tickets, small trips, and the phone. The taste favours the clever over the grand: wit in design, a good pun, a room with something surprising in it. Being wanted is enjoyed and managed lightly, deflected with a joke when it becomes heavy. The honest cost of the placement is a shallowness at the point where things get difficult; when a relationship needs a long, humourless conversation, this Venus reaches for the amusing sidestep, and does it so well that neither party notices what has been avoided.
