Ha! Ok so Venus is at its worst in the four mutable signs, not nice in Aquarius, debilitated in Scorpio — luckily he only has it in untrustworthy Aries..! I guess it’s more likely it would be badly placed than not! The Uranus square is not good, I have to understand more about that. We both have the dreaded natal Venus-Neptune square which has definitely blinded me to reality in the past...
I can’t find anything about Venusian Variability, where is a good place to start reading about it? Thanks for this info!
Hahah. No worries. First "Venusian Variability" is my own term, just playing with alliteration. You won't find it anywhere except in perhaps a handwritten journal of mine.
When I say Venus in Aquarius, I am coming from personal experience, whether you assign Uranus as the ruler or Saturn (I assign Saturn), you'll want to look at the condition of the planet, too. Anyway, just from personal experience, I have become wary of women with Venus in Aquarius. But Venus in its fall is actually worse than when it's in its detriment. So Virgo and Aquarius. And
then, those signs ruled by Mars.
When I said doubled bodied signs, I meant on the descendant primarily. So Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, and in that order of worst to best, all being relative. These are not the best signs to have on the descendant but Pisces is definitely better than Gemini. And interestingly, of the two, you have Jupiter as it's ruler. So the cause for multiple marriages is the need for growth, and one person sometimes doesn't fit the bill. Of all of these, Gemini seems to be the worst, and many will marry more than once, due to the Mercurial nature of the sign and the fact that Mercury is heavily influenced by sign and planets. I think of it as a capsule with energy shooting in different directions, so it's a situation of boredom and attention deficit to the partner. Ironically, Venus in Gemini by itself does not have the same effect. In fact, these people tend to be committed or at least have happy relationships. (Perhaps Virgo on the descendant should be mentioned as well.)
The Venus - Neptune square is not as bad as I think people have portrayed it here. Remember that Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. So while Venus affects much more the earthly estate, Neptune is more concerned with the spiritual or heavenly realms (watery too). With a square, you have manifestation. It could be the manifestation of a potential soulmate in the earthly realm.
The problem is the people involved. I'd have to look at natal charts first. Where in the evolution of the soul are these people? What is their environment? Choices and decisions affect this. There are no guarantees of union, just potentials. This could be a relationship that falls apart but by some miracle, years later, you find each other again. I don't know but what I am saying is that relationships are complicated, and sometimes those who leave our life (if that happens) will reappear in some weird way years later. It's happened to me numerous times. Not necessarily in romance and love but in friendships and stuff like that.
Anyhow, I'm babbling ... rambling ... digressing, that's the right word. I hope this provided some clarity to my last post.
As a post note, sometimes the aspects that are formed are not so concerting but, rather, the nature of the planets themselves and how well they blend. Also, what sign is influencing them. But Venus and Neptune get along quite well, and I dare say as much as Jupiter and Venus. So you have to account for the nature of the planets too and how they harmonize.
