The Dance of Venus


The Dance of Venus.

Venus rules our friendships, our loves, our likes, our pleasure,
she shows how we like to party or enjoy our hours of leisure,
she rules our values and our worth, our purses and our money,
and those things which taste so sweet, like sugar, glucose, honey.

When Venus is in Aries, her money she likes to spend,
and her passion for adventure is truly without end.
If you're a new face at the party, this Venus will befriend you,

and if you suffer from attack, this Venus will defend you.

When Venus is in Taurus, she's more careful with her cash,
she likes to buy of quality, she doesn’t care to look at trash,
this Venus likes to grow things, to plant them in the soil,
and when she loves she's steadfast, trusty, true and loyal.

When Venus is in Gemini, she likes to chatter and babble,
and she can do the crossword while she plays at scrabble,
she merits understanding and rarely means to be unkind,
she's seldom too demanding and values friendships of the mind.

When Venus is in Cancer, in her kitchen take a look,
what I'm sure you'll find there is that she likes to cook,
when this Venus loves you, she'll mother and she'll feed you,
she'll sympathise most readily, suffer and she'll heed you.

When Venus is in Leo, with her sense of fun you'll find,
she will treat you generously, she's romantic and she's kind,
when this Venus loves you she'll treat you just like royalty,
she's fixed in her affection and always shows her loyalty.

When Venus is in Virgo, she is humble and she’s cute,
she's artistic, she’s discerning, she is modest and astute,
when this Venus loves you she is service with a smile,
she takes care of practicalities and makes you feel worthwhile.

When Venus is in Libra she is charm personified,
she's happy when she's partnered, with another by her side,
this Venus values harmony and she likes to share,
she has a love of justice and her sense of play is fair.

When Venus is in Scorpio her passion's in the dark,
you have to gain her trust before you'll see her hidden spark,
when this Venus loves you, upon her you can depend,
for if you don't betray her, her love may never end.

When Venus is in Sagittarius, she does like to explore,
she's happy when she's travelling to some far distant shore,
if you give this Venus freedom her affection is abundant,
try to chain or cage her and it may soon become redundant.

When Venus is in Capricorn, what you can expect,
is her affection to grow slowly if you treat her with respect,
she's
a lover of tradition, she is protective and paternal,
if you treat her tenderly, her love could be eternal

When Venus is in Aquarius, then everyone's her friend,
and on her love for humanity, I'm sure you can depend,
this Venus helps out others far more often than she mentions,
she desires ideals most noble and can be full of kind intentions.

When Venus is in Pisces she may be poetry in motion,
she can be most adoring and sacrificing in devotion,
this Venus is compassionate, her touch can be most healing,  
when this Venus loves you, unbounded is her feeling.

Venus shows how we relate, in all our daily interactions,
she can be a charmer in debate and rules o'er our attractions.
she is the style of clothes we wear, our artistry, our fashion,
she shows the way of our desires and how we express our passion.
