Planets in Your Horoscope: Venus in Libra
September 29, 2006 by admin
In a couple of days, Venus will enter Libra from Virgo, where it is now. Currently in Virgo, Venus is in its fall, because it is in the sign opposite its exaltation, Pisces. In this post, I discussed the difference between Venus in Virgo and Venus in Pisces. Libra, however, is a much more auspicious location for Venus, because Venus rules Libra.
If you have Venus in Libra, whatever area of life is ruled by this Venus naturally tends to prosper. Of course, there are provisos associated with this depending on your individual chart, because Venus may be aspected by malefic planets, or mutually receivedb which would tarnish Venus in Libra’s bright promise. In general, Venus in Libra will help you out in your life, if you have that position in your own horoscope.
If you have Venus in Libra in the first house, for example, you are most likely attractive and charming and generally Venusian. If, of course, that lovely Venus is conjunct Saturn in the first house, you will not be quite as bright and sparkly and cute, since Saturn would give you some gravity in seriousness, maybe even a tendency to melancholy. But even then, this would be a very positive combination, because in Libra, Saturn is in its exaltation. Most likely, this would give you a good, long life, though one which you might have to earn through a healthy lifestyle. Because even though Saturn is strong in Libra, Saturn is a malefic, and as such will give success only through struggle.
But let us look at the character of Venus in Libra. Venus in Libra has a different quality to that of Venus in Taurus, the other sign which it rules. Venus in Taurus is a homebody with a green thumb, who is enveloped in the gifts of nature. Venus in Libra, on the other hand, is Venus in its sociable, loving aspect. This is because Taurus is an earthy sign, and Libra is an airy sign, so the different signs are going to modify the loving and harmonious energies of Venus in different ways.
If you have your natal Venus in Libra, you will be experiencing a transiting Venus return this month. This means that the planet Venus will return to the position it held at your birth, as it does every year. This is an excellent opportunity to observe Venus’s effects in your life. If Venus in your horoscope is relatively free from affliction by malefic planets, you might have some positive experiences as Venus conjoins its natal position. This is why it’s very helpful to observe when your different planets are activated. You can see how the planets are likely to act on you in the future. With a strong Venus, the events will most likely be positive, and have a Venusian, loving overtone.
Special note: If you know your horoscope, and Venus is at 23 Libra or thereabouts, Venus is especially strong in your horoscope. This is because there is a very strong and positive fixed star at 23 Libra, called Spica, or the Virgin’s Spike. This star is extremely benevolent and protective, and is also one of the six Royal stars. It promises success and fortune, especially so if it is with a planet, rather than only being on a house cusp. If Venus is important in your horoscope, such as it rules an important house or point, likely you have already experienced some of the great success that Venus on Spica can bring.

Hello Nina,
What a great website! Lots of goodies here. I feel rather guilty bringing up a minor point when there is so much fantastic stuff here. However, I note you refer to six ‘Royal stars’ in your article on Venus in Libra. There are of course only four -Regulus, Antares, Aldebaran and Fomalhaut. I believe they were used to mark the four points of the night sky in ancient Persia.
Best wishes
Mark
Dear Mark,
Thank you so much for your kind words; I appreciate them very much. When I said “royal stars,” I was referring to the six royal stars that actually raise the native to the throne, as it were. Lilly, for one, writes on this. Yes, Regulus, Antares and Aldebaran are three, but then we also have Lucida Lancis, Spica, and Pollux. Fomalhaut, despite being one of the Persian “Four Watchers,” does not raise to the throne, because its kingdom is not of this world.
Warmly,
Nina
I love it when I get to learn through others questions too. Good question Mark and great answer Nina. Both very thoughtful and informative. So much fun to browse the sight and see comments too.
I’m off to enjoy some more.

You have one of the loveliest sites I have seen in a long time! I don’t have Venus in Libra, but I do have Libra rising @21deg. Please keep up the good work! I’m loving what i see!
Dear Nicole,
Thank you so much for visiting and your kind comment! I am glad your Libra + Spica ascendant is loving the art.
Warmly,
Nina
Is Spica activated by angles as well? It falls on my descendant point…just curious as I know the planets tend to be considered more significant (?).
Best always,
Gem
Hi Gem,
Yes, but it’s less powerful than having planets on the fixed stars.
Warmly,
Nina
