Meaning of Aries Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

For my little Venus in Aries friends, having your Venus sign in the 12th house means that you have a lot of selfless tendencies when it comes to who and how you love. You want to actively do good for others, and being in a relationship gives you the most intimate way of doing so.

Beware, though, because with Aries comes a small amount of self-obsession. Be sure that you are part of the relationship and wanting to help your partner because you want to, and not because at the end of the day it will improve your sense of self.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Sagittarius, Leo and Gemini.

Meaning of Taurus Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

My Taurus in Venus friends you are selfless in your love. Having Venus sign in the 12th house intensifies that. You’ll find yourself willing to give up all your time (and your money) to others if it means they’ll be happy.

Taurus Venus in general means that you have a harder time showing compassion and these gifts can be the only way you know how to give appreciation for others.

You will be annoyed, however, when people can’t seem to be able to take care of themselves. Be careful not to fall down the rabbit hole of helping others.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Libra, Capricorn, or Scorpio.

Meaning of Gemini Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

First off, anything in Gemini, can get a lot of bad rap in the zodiac, which makes you a misunderstood sign! Venus in Geminis are masters of communication. With your Venus sign in Gemini, you’ll find it easy to flirt and communicate with your partner on an everyday basis.

A Gemini’s pride can keep you from wanting to open up to your partner.

With Venus in the 12th house, you want to help others with your great expanse of knowledge and communication skills. Don’t be afraid to leave if you find that your skills and gifts aren’t being appreciated, they’re your biggest asset.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aries, Sagittarius and Leo.

Meaning of Cancer Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

My water sign babes have the amazing ability to empathize with others, and that’s something you can find in Venus in Cancers, too. With your Venus sign in Cancer, you can expect a heightened sense of understanding when it comes to your partner's problems. With Venus in the 12th house, your empathetic nature doubles its effect.

You want to help your partner through all of their emotional baggage. Playing the role of a listener is something you enjoy, but don’t be afraid to put your own feelings and experiences out there too. If you’re giving one hundred percent and your partner isn’t, walk away.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Scorpio.

Meaning of Leo Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Oh, my beautiful Venus in Leo babies. You are the loudest and proudest sign in the zodiac. Having your Venus in Leo means that you are boisterous about your love. Public displays of affection are your main love language, and you love to be in the spotlight.

With your Venus sign in the 12th house, you become more inclined to share that spotlight with your partner. However, you lack the finesse to realize when your partner isn’t comfortable. Remember to talk to your partner, and keep your arrogance in check when your loved one isn't as comfortable in the spotlight as you.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aries, Aquarius, and Libra.

Meaning of Virgo Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Venus in Virgo, you are the moms of the zodiac. They’re meticulous, pragmatic, and logical, almost to a fault. Venus in Virgo means that you’re careful about your love. You like to plan things out the finest detail to make sure everything goes according to your plan.

Having this Venus in the 12th house means that your Virgo tendencies are diluted, and you can begin to show more compassion than a Virgo Sun may be able to (and I’m able to say that because I’m a Virgo Sun). You’ll sacrifice all of your plans in order to make your partner happy but keep a balance.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Cancer.

Meaning of Libra Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

You may also find yourself to be drawn to supernatural topics, and you may even feel like you have some psychic connection or abilities. This comes from your need to find partners that have similar emotional and spiritual energies to yourself.

You are also super sensitive to other people’s emotions, so make sure to check in on your mental state every once and awhile.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Leo.

Meaning of Scorpio Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Please don’t panic if your Venus is in Scorpio, I promise it’s not the end of the world! Venus is Scorpio means that your romantic side is mysterious and seductive. You express your love in really big ways, but that also makes you more vulnerable to jealousy and suspicion.

Your love life might be tumultuous but it will still be fulfilling. With that being said, with it in the 12th house, you are open to psychic connections and the supernatural. You are influenced by the feelings of others, so make sure that you aren’t falling into the toxicity of your partner or friends.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Scorpio.

Meaning of Sagittarius Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Those of you with any additional Sagittarius placement have the tendency to look at the world in a very intellectual light. You’re curious, optimistic and ambitious. This translates to your Venus sign through the expression of confidence. With your partners, you are always looking at the bright side and never being afraid to shoot your shot.

You also have the tendency to speak your mind without a filter, and this can contradict a lot with the karmic properties in the 12th house. Don’t play the victim card when people don’t see eye-to-eye with you, and remember to look at the bigger picture.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Gemini, Sagittarius, and Aries.

Communication is not your strong suit, so be sure to share with your partner and master the art of compromise. With Venus in the 12th house, you’ll find that you are attuned to career goals and ambitions. You have a strong connection to spirituality, but you also know when to compartmentalize it so that it doesn’t interfere with your goals and your relationships.

You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Capricorn, Cancer, and Taurus.

Meaning of Aquarius Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Venus in Aquarius-types, you are one of the most deeply intellectual and problem-solving members of the zodiac. Your deep intellect makes you naturally lean towards the supernatural and strange, and this is heightened with this 12th house placement.

Meaning of Pisces Venus sign in the 12th astrology house

Venus in Pisces means that you are extremely sensitive, like most water signs. Pisces take it to a whole other level, as they are the most empathetic of the zodiac, and they end up being the therapists to all of the other signs.

Their goal is to cultivate strong emotional relationships with people, especially their romantic relationships. With it in the 12th house, your intuitive nature is heightened even further.

You commit selfless acts of love with abandon, and you truly encompass the martyr type of love. Make sure to check in with yourself emotionally, and to not let yourself get swallowed up by other people’s issues.
