I am not a beautiful woman. I am the Invisible Woman. Or it’s that I’m beautiful but no one sees it. Or that I don’t see it. Venus in the 12th House.
Yes I know YMMV with such an aspect but this blog post reflects *my* experience. Venus is beauty. The 12th is hidden.
But wait — there’s more!
What I don’t have in beauty I have in ENERGY. Remember when I was talking about people staring at me on the subway. Or when I walk down the street. Or when I’m walking behind someone…
And a couple weeks ago I met a new pal and he called it “determination” that he could feel: Pluto in the 1st House.
Well, with transiting Venus in my 8th, it all changes. It shifts it. People are still looking but differently. It’s sexual/attracted/interested but… not threatening. The 8th House is a lot of things and one of the things it is IS a relationship house — it pulls people in. People you want, people you don’t want. But this transit, despite yesterday’s dramarama, is making me a delectable morsel. Aries on the 8th means that Mars (sex) rules my sex house and Venus is visiting, softening some of the intensity and beautifying it.
And I can tell you this for sure: if you pay attention, you can perceive the differences as Venus transits your houses. In this part of the chart, my Venus is OUT IN THE WORLD rather than hidden.
PS I am a huge Rihanna fan (fell in love with her music at the gym!) and she has Moon Venus in Aries.
What’s your theory of YOUR Venus?

Yes, I am doing Mini-Moon Readings for the New Moon in Pisces!

I know that this is a slightly “delayed” response to this post, but as a fellow commiserate when the 12th house Venus is in question, someone who also feels invisible most of the time, and someone who’s stumbled upon this site because I’m having Venus transiting my 8th house right now, I just have to share my experiences.
The thing is I really do feel visible and I’m getting some attention from men for a change. And I’m horny as hell, and I’m sexting a random Sagittarius with no shame whatsoever, which is something I’d never do in my right mind, because I’m always so shy and quiet and good and proper, and true love this, true love that, even though I have no idea what true love really is. So, yeah, it’s an interesting transit 😀 I’m definitely taking my convent Venus for a ride 😀
Thanks for your thoughts, Silvija
You’re welcome 🙂
And here’s a little update on the whole 8th house Venus transit/ 12th house Venus natal issue.
Even though this transit brings out a more open and sexual side of Venus, and even though it’s certainly made me more noticeable, let’s not forget what we’re dealing with here natally – the “I’m-so-going-to-date-that-absolutely-unavailable-Martian-I-couldn’t possible-have” guy. Or,in this particular case, the random Sagitarrius who is, of course, the very incarnation of perfection and just about everything the crazy 12th house Venus could’ve wished for. But, naturally, he lives not only in another city, but also in another country (of course). It’s only natural that he’d say that he wasn’t into long-distance relationships, he’d been there, done that, wasn’t fun (of course it wasn’t), and he’d rather date a local girl (totally understandable), but he might stop by for a quicky or two ( he’s a freaking Sagittarius after all, when did they ever say no to a quicky?!?!?). Anyway, seeing the pattern of falling for unavailable guys about to repeat itself again, and being utterly annoyed at myself for not having seen it from the start, my 12th house Venus gave itself a couple of slaps, and, for the first time in her life, said “no”!
I guess I’ve grown up a little bit, although I’m not really sure whether to congratulate myself or to blow my brains out. That was one hell of a Sagittarius.
Check this out: Venus Virgo in 5th, in T-squares with Moon-Chiron in 1st and Mars-Uranus in 7th, also trine Taurus Ascendant and 8th house Neptune! Exhausts me just typing it out! I don’t have much of a theory about it lately, but it seems like I actually surpass love relationships to love something “higher.”
Rihanna is really amazing, together with Lady Gaga they make good use of the Aries energy.
My Venus, natal and transiting, are in 12th house – I like to keep thing simple!
I gather you are having fun with Venus in 8th…enjoy the ride!
Virgo Venus in the 4th conjunct Saturn. Love is… scary!
My Venus is sort of neglected. I’m just not very interested in her (Venus must be a she) and that’s most likely because I think of love as burdensome; more responsibility. Thank you for this post, I’m not especially enjoying the current energy out there, and this feels like a reminder that Venus isn’t only about everyone else. I have Venus in cancer conjunct descendant, mercury, and Saturn. There’s a lot of Neptune right now and with Venus in Aries I’m reminded that I love art and music. I think I’ll go out and find some to enjoy for myself xo
Oh, natal Venus is conjunct the cusp of the 8th house in Gemini, my Moon and South Node, square Mars in Pisces, inconjunct Uranus/ascendant, widely sextile Jupiter, and widely trine Pluto. It’s a busy part of my chart.
It’s still in my 5th in Placidus, I deactivated facebook on Monday night, because this guy who hit on me last December, when he was in a relationship (he’s now in an open relationship), started a debate on my page after I’d told him that I hadn’t posted something for debate. He whined that he didn’t know how to relate to me, if I couldn’t take disagreement (I can take disagreement in some cases, but not with this subject), and I realized that I should have blocked him as soon as I went back just over a week ago. I bitched him out, and deactivated. I realized that I haven’t liked him since he hit on me; I like his ex very much, and I thought they were happy (she was, but he had a wandering eye, and a wandering something extra). I no longer have any respect for him, and I hate it when people spin BS with pretty words – no matter how you decorate it, it’s still BS.
Hmm Venus in Capricorn stellium in the 11th house. Sitting between Neptune and Saturn. So my beauty is between a rock and…the depths of the ocean. My beauty seems to float and shift but there is also the structure…Saturn does rule the bones! And being in the 11th house my friends see my beauty. Venus is transiting my first house so I’m seeing it more too. I seem to do less but feel it more. So that works for me 🙂
hey, your venus has friends! literally!
