Here is a brief list (partial) of traits expressed by astrological Venus as she attracts, loves, seduces, popularizes, evaluates (rates), glides, or even vamps through the Tropical Zodiac, spending approximately one year accomplishing her journey through each 30-degree sign while following her path of orbit, aka, the *Cycle of Venus, the planetary embodiment of The Attraction Principle. And now...

Now I suspect that you can think of other sign-inspired traits, some of which may be passionate in a negative or destructive way. One such role for femme fatale Venus to play on the Silver Screen is the easily identifiable scorned lover since everyone knows how vengeful Venus can be when scorned and made jealous by a romantic rival!

Please note that the above traits are affected by input from other planets as they relate to the position of Venus in the natal or event chart; therefore, Venusian tendencies may be moderated, dispensed with all together, or stimulated by transiting planets, progressions, eclipses, or contacts with stars.

Besides romance, adoration, beauty, and art, astrological Venus affects all levels of human endeavor so for Campaign 2016 astro-notes of a forecasting nature, check out The Venus *Cycle in US Presidential Elections which includes the importance of Venus acting in the roles of Morning Star or Evening Star in November (this matters, and involves Libra and Sagittarius) based on her 8-year cycle. Somehow the timing seems oddly sinister that TV moguls have recently premiered a TV show known as Lucifer which, as with its comix incarnation, will help confuse a good many young people and others about what is actually a sober topic each person must decide: where to spend Eternity.
