Ascendant Opposition Venus

Ascendant represents your body, your make-up and how you present yourself and begin things; Venus, what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value.

Venus opposing the Ascendant brings sweetness through the other: pleasing, beautiful, or good-natured partners, and an identity fulfilled in relation and affection. The risk is to depend too much on being loved and on pleasing.

In the opposition Venus sits beside the Descendant, in the Seventh House, and tradition counts this among the best positions for marriage and alliances: the partner tends to be affectionate, attractive or conciliatory. The point to watch is depending on the other in order to feel valued. Since Venus is the lesser benefic, her condition by sign decides a great deal: in Scorpio or Aries, passion brings complication; in Libra or Taurus, the union is usually harmonious and lasting.
