Placement

♐︎

Venus in Sagittarius

Affection wide, warm, and allergic to confinement; drawn to people who bring new territory, and generous to a fault provided nobody starts drawing up conditions.

What attracts here is expansion. A person who has been somewhere, believes something unusual, or can argue well over dinner will hold this Venus longer than any amount of beauty. Courtship happens in motion: on trips, at events, in the middle of a plan. The manner is frank and unpolished, compliments arrive plainly, and there is no coyness whatever. Such people say what they want on the first evening, which many find refreshing and some find alarming.

The friendships are numerous, international, and remarkably durable across long silences; two years apart changes nothing about the welcome. Generosity is instinctive, particularly with hospitality, and the wallet comes out before anyone else has reached for theirs. The trouble is the promise made warmly and forgotten by Tuesday. This Venus means every word at the moment of saying it and is bewildered by the accusation of unreliability, since the intention was entirely genuine and only the follow-through was absent.

Money goes on travel, on lessons, on the meal for eight, and the budget is treated as a matter that will resolve itself. The taste is for the foreign, the roomy, and the slightly worn over the immaculate. Being wanted is enjoyed until it comes with terms; the moment a relationship starts specifying what may and may not be done, the restlessness begins. Independence here is not a preference but a condition, and partners who grant it freely tend to find this Venus stays far longer than expected.
