I love walking by the sea and listening to what people are talking about. One day I heard something trivial - "If we had had money, our love wouldn't have died." It's not like I've never heard this before, but this time it got stuck in my mind and I suddenly realised to how great an extent we misunderstand the power of money. How do these two completely different categories of life interweave so absurdly and absolutely? Money is actually love - so strong, so real, as the power of love itself. Why? Because money and love are the same thing in a different form.
Today's article is about how love and money interweave in life. Love and money have a common root, a common origin - people's desire to be valuable and appreciated in life. Pursuit of money is not an expression of stupidity and greed. It is our desire for love, to be loved and appreciated. Nobody needs money just for the money itself. It is a measure. Money is used as a short term for material possessions that can be bought with money. Love is an immaterial substance, and, we, humans, can measure it only through something material. The only way to show someone how much you love and appreciate them is by giving them some of your resources - time, money and possessions, care, etc.
Our human world is a world of senses - it is related to the material, to things we can touch, see, feel, hear and smell. We are always looking for an equivalent, something in the form of matter, something with which we can measure. We have no other way to perceive love, but by the measure of our senses. When someone says "I love you," you ask, "How much? How will you show me that you love me?". You need to measure this love with something comparable so that you will know whether it is big or small, how valuable you are for the other person. We seek love, but we can only determine what it is through something material that has a material value. In short, through money.
Have you noticed that we always use marketing terminology when talking about each other? "He is a valuable and important person. She is a dear woman. You are the dearest person to me," "Do you know how much it cost me to win you?", etc.
There is an unwritten law of nature - a man gives a ring while a woman gives her beauty, care and support. Beauty defines how attractive a woman is, while money matters when speaking of a man.
We all know that the most beautiful women can be found around the richest men. From a natural point of view, a man evaluates a woman by her physical beauty, sex appeal and her ability to give him emotions, love, delight and comfort. A woman assesses a man according to the "sex appeal and beauty" of his wallet and his ability to take care of her materially. A woman needs money to maintain her beauty and therefore to take care of the senses and comfort of the man ast her side. A man needs a beautiful woman, emotions and comfort, so he pays for that. No matter how hard we try to deny this conclusion, it is true, after all.
In other words, love between two people always involves money. They say that money can't buy love. It's true. But love can be shown only through money.
Our personal horoscope shows in what material form we evaluate love in our life, in what way we can know that we are worthy for someone, that he or she loves us. In astrology, Venus is the main planet according to which we judge these things. It rules two zodiac signs - Taurus and Libra. The sign Taurus (a firm, earth sign) is a symbol of materialism, money, property and possessions. The sign Libra (an air sign) is a symbol of love, intimacy and romance, beauty and aesthetics.
Thus, a connection between material things (money) and love is created - what kind of a material equivalent we use to measure the other person's love with, or how we show our love. Everyone has their own "measuring" scale and it is determined by the position of Venus.
The twelve signs are divided into four groups according to their element - fire, earth, air and water. Each element is associated with the manifestation of certain qualities. As for Venus, it shows us how and when we understand that somebody appreciates us, that this person gives us love and how big this love is. How he or she evaluates us and therefore how loved we are.
Venus's sign position is an important factor, but it also has to be combined with Venus's house position, as well as its aspects with the other planets in the horoscope. Those of you who are more aware of these things, should take into account both positions. For convenience, I will write how signs correspond to houses. For example, the sign Aries corresponds to the 1st house in the horoscope. The sign Virgo - to the 6th house. I will write this next to each sign. The house position of Venus is responsible for purely material things and the sign position - for more psychological ones.
In general, I can say that when Venus is in the earth and water signs, a more direct connection is observed with the physical expression of love. While in the fire and air signs, it is not that active.
Venus in the fire signs:
Aries (1st house),
Leo (5th house),
Sagittarius (9th house)
You feel worthy when the other is ready for any exploits for you. Everything has to be very bright and hot. When he or she competes with others for you - with the rarest car, with the most interesting gift, regardless of value. Generous gestures, giving everything when it comes to you - this way you are absolutely sure that you are appreciated and valuable, that you are given deep love. Purely physically, when you feel warmth from the other, when you feel charged with energy by him or her, this is a sure sign that it is love.
The three signs are ruled by Mars (Aries), the Sun (Leo) and Jupiter (Sagittarius).
Among them, Venus in Aries is not in a particularly favourable position, which makes it a bit difficult to please. People with Venus in Aries feel valuable when the other spends a lot of time with them, when they are at the centre of their lives - literally. They prefer a manifestation of courage rather than an expensive ring. To show them your love with a gift, it should be labelled "The only one", albeit not expensive.
People with Venus in Leo feel valuable and loved when they receive regal gifts in a special atmosphere in front of everybody. When they have the most popular man or woman in town. When they are showered with attention, admiration, and luxury. Money and the material side of love are strongly manifested here compared to the other two fire signs.
People with Venus in the sign of Sagittarius feel valuable and loved when the other seeks to entertain them in any way and most importantly - to make them laugh and feel happy. A trip to an exotic location or a boat trip makes you feel that the other loves you for sure.
Venus in the earth signs:
Taurus (2nd house),
Virgo (6th house),
Capricorn (10th house)
The sign Taurus is ruled by Venus, and, in this way, it sets the "tone" for all earth signs. Here the need for any kind of material expressions of love is the strongest. The body, belongings, everything that can be touched and seen - this is a priority in love. You feel worthy when the other is ready to provide you with maximum material comfort. You need someone whose characteristic is "being able to pay for me." You are the most prominent admirer of money and material possessions as a measure of the love of the other. Purely physically, when you feel peace, stability and security, this is a sure sign that it is love.
The three signs are ruled by Venus (Taurus), Mercury (Virgo) and Saturn (sCapricorn).
People with Venus in Taurus directly associate love with money. They have a very clear and deep awareness that we live in a material world and we can only be aware of the non-material substance called love when we give it a material form. These people's senses are tuned in numbers - they will assess your love according to the price that you are willing to pay for a dinner in a restaurant, or for a gift.
People with Venus in Virgo gain a sense of importance and value with difficulty. In this sign, Venus is in an unfavourable position and sometimes they can never be pleased. They insist particularly strongly on the material expression of love - it must be very nice, unique, expensive and classy. You are characterized by the tendency to always look at the price tag of love - only the one who can "pay" the most, according to you, (with money, beauty and possessions), is able to make you feel valuable and loved.
People with Venus in Capricorn feel worthy not just when it comes to money and material things. For them, social position is important - status and the highest social level. They would like to be seen with a person bearing the signs of power and a solid state, instead of just being given an expensive gift.
Venus in the air signs:
Gemini (3rd house),
Libra (7th house),
Aquarius (11th house)
For you, communication, beauty and romance are the most valuable things in terms of love. The sign Libra is ruled by Venus, and, in this way, it sets the "tone" for all air signs. Air signs are less tied to the physical expression of love. For them, everything is ethereal and they usually stay away from the material. Can you see the air? This is the only element we can't see. Fire, earth, water - these are the natural elements we can see and feel. Air is the only one that is different - we feel it, but we don't see it. For you, the sense of being valued comes primarily through the beauty which the other creates for you, through communication and romance. Of course, beauty needs money, but more often it needs intelligence, creativity and diversity. When the other seeks originality, aesthetics, surprise, this is proof to you that you are valuable and loved. For you, love is mostly in the "air" and less in the material.
The three signs are ruled by Mercury (Gemini), Venus (Libra) and Saturn, Uranus (Aquarius).
People with Venus in Gemini feel valuable mainly through communication and diversity, through romantic gestures. When the other surprises and stimulates them intellectually. Price does not matter - intention and thought are important.
People with Venus in the sign of Libra feel valuable primarily through the beauty that the other brings into their life. Elegance, beauty, style and romance - when you get it, is a sign, that the other appreciates you. If the other presents himself to you with an unsightly appearance, or displays bad manners and inappropriate behaviour, it is a sign for you that there is no love.
People with Venus in Aquarius are some of the most unpredictable in their sense of who considers them valuable. They would rarely feel worthy in the standard way - through gifts, dinners, flowers, etc. For them, the most important thing is when the other is absolutely original, and a little crazy (but brilliant), and shows them their love in the most unusual ways. If you give them a parachute jump as a present, this will have a lot more meaning for them than a diamond ring.
Venus in the water signs:
Cancer (4th house),
Scorpio (8th house),
Pisces (12th house)
You feel worthy when the material expression of love is very intimate and deeply emotional. For you, both the material value of things and emotions and feelings are equally important. You feel loved when the other spends a lot of time with you and pays you a lot of attention, when he or she makes you feel protected and cared for. Purely physically, when you feel strong emotions, this is a sure sign that it is love.
The three signs are ruled by The Moon (Cancer), Mars, Pluto (Scorpio) and Jupiter, Neptune (Pisces).
People with Venus in Cancer are not very fussy about material expression. For them, it is important that you do things which will evoke memories of a shared emotion. They are extremely sentimental. When the other remembers important shared moments, when they spend more time together, this is the best way for them to feel love. They consider care, time spent together and support as the greatest proof that they are valuable and loved.
People with Venus in Scorpio are probably the most peculiar in the whole zodiac. What makes them feel valuable is the passion the other shows them, combined with spending of a lot of money. But passion alone is not enough, nor money alone - they need both and in abundance. Usually, these people are well aware of the relationship between love and money and rarely accept love as a pure emotion, if it is not supported by the appropriate material expression.
People with Venus in Pisces feel valuable fairly easily and quickly. They naturally have no problem with their personal self-evaluation and this makes them the least requiring as regards a physical expression of love. A flower, a deeply emotional gesture - and they are willing to believe that they are truly loved and appreciated.
