hen someone’s Venus falls in your 12th house they arouse your imagination and fascination. They inspire romantic feelings, and subconscious longings. They soothe your fears. They charm you. You feel attractive around them. Their presence encourages you to be cooperative and pleasant. They rouse the desire to be beautiful from the inside out. They inspire appreciation of the arts.

Your Venus falls in someone's 12th house

L

ove feels mystical in the 12th house person’s presence. You become selfless. You lose concern with your own personal happiness. The relationship is private and occurs away from prying eyes. You might feel that the 12th house person doesn’t want to be seen with you in public. Perhaps the 12th house person doesn’t want to acknowledge the relationship. This could be an unrequited love: you love the 12th house person, but they don’t return your affection. This could be a lonely love because you feel alone in the relationship. There may be a spiritual connection that other people don’t understand. It’s possible that you are an enabler. You unwittingly encourage the 12th house person’s bad habits. You are too accepting of the 12th house person’s self-sabotaging behavior. Because the 12th house person feels at ease around you, it is easy for you to take advantage of them. You use your knowledge of their fears and weaknesses for your own benefit.

If you are the Venus person

If you are the Venus person you will have to learn that your interests are not the only interests that count. Chances are the 12th house person does like what you like, but not to the same extent. Everybody doesn’t have to like all the same stuff to get along. Ease up on pressuring the 12th house person to acknowledge your likes and dislikes and you might get compliments more.

If you are the 12th house person

If you are the 12th house person you will have to actively notice and acknowledge the Venus person’s personal style and taste. You will need to make a conscious effort to make this person feel appreciated.
