Once we bring Venus into our discussions we start to think about romantic relationship issues. We have to remember that planet contacts between charts work for everyone -- lovers, enemies, children, co-workers, neighbors. Up till now we haven't had much discussion other than on personal-relationships-to-our-significant-other. I will try to look for some public or famous people/partners to find examples that we can compare our own charts to.
The harmonious aspects (conjunction, trine, sextile) between one's Sun and another's Venus are just that -- harmonious. Using our keywords for the Sun (creative power, vitality, enthusiasm, proactiveness) and Venus (socialness, love, appreciation, affection, generosity) we can blend them and extend our Sun-Venus words to include sympathy, domestic tranquility, loving relationships, devotion and loyalty. These two will tend to be mutually supportive and have much in common.
The inhormonious contacts are, of course, the opposition and the square. In my experience, Venus doesn't do well with oppositions, always trying to express one's own values in a way that is seperate from the opposing planet. So, we might expect a lack of support or at least a delay or lukewarmness in offering/receiving support. Venus seems well aware of Sun's position and wants, but insists on being focused on itself first, almost as if needing to show its own self-worth in contrast to the ever-shinning Sun and its own sense of confidence and value.
The Sun-square-Venus aspect doesn't work well most of the time. We have to keep in mind that both Sun and Venus are positive planets -- at their worst they aren't brutal with each other, something akin to "tolerant" might be the worst type of relationship on average. The square always tends to let planets express themselves at cross purposes to each other -- we might expect to see a clash of values, wanting what the other has or conversely not liking what the other has or values.
Now we have to keep in mind the nature of the relationship when looking at the opposition or square. For friends, envy or denial of support might emerge. For parents and children, exasperation and inability to communicate or teach values might be evident. With neighbors these aspects might suggest different opinions or goals in terms of fences, gardens, home appearance. For lovers we might find them having to work at defining shared goals and values, negotiating or adopting a give-and-take methodology to ease tensions.
My wife's Sun sextiles my Venus. She is often very supportive in making sure that I have whatever I need in terms of tools, hobbies, cars, favorite foods, etc. Last month she insisted on me having a new flat-panel TV for my den to replace an older TV. Today she insisted on it being time to purchase a new vehicle -- I was not looking to replace my present car. The one we ended up with was quite pricely and will be very nice to have.
I look forward to hearing from others on this important inter-chart aspect when/where it occurs. Dave
