~The Astrological Venus/Aphrodite(The 12 Gates/The Planets)~

Venus in your natal chart shows where and how you show your passion,artistic,talent and dating life.For men Venus shows what attracts you to your partner as in what sign Venus is in will tell you the type of partner you are attracted to.For women Venus shows how you use your powers of attraction and has alot to do with beauty and your feminine aspects.Where she is placed in your chart can also lead you down a road of illusion in relationships because she can be the blinding light or the fling that does not last.Venus rules Taurus and Libra.The way Venus controls Taurus is with the powers of attraction in the material realm,be it money or personal goals.In Taurus Venus becomes earthy and can be used to manifest material.Libra brings the Harmonious side of Venus and is very great with art and other aesthetic talents.Here Venus wants symmetry and loves to use the scales of Libra to get it.
