HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL LOVERS!
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day which is a day that celebrates love. It starts with the exchange of Valentines in grade school and hopefully extends to all who still have a pulse. Your heart is meant to love and by loving someone you can avoid heart medical troubles.  The difference between Love and Lust is stated in one of my articles on my web site. 
“Love wants to give and Lust wants to get!!”
“Love is often gentle, desire is always a rage!!!
Too many of those creatures from Mars are only interested in getting! The men in the Industrial World on planet earth often love things instead of living sentient beings.  This outlook on life leads to lots of heart problems!
Manly Palmer Hall of the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles listed the hierarchy of Love as follows with number 1 as the most important.
1.     Love of a Supreme Creator
2.     Love of Wisdom and Truth (Very little truth available so aim for wisdom)
3.     Love of Good
4.     Love of Beauty
5.     Love of Friend for Friend
6.     Love of Parent for Child
7.     Love of Man and Women
Manly Hall also said:
1.     If the focus of your attention is on the physical you are a materialist
2.     If the focus of your attention is on the lower emotional nature you are an emotionalist.3.     If the focus of your attention is on the higher emotional nature you are an esthete.
4.     If the focus of your attention is on the lower mental nature you are an intellectual.5.     If the focus of your attention is on the higher mental nature you are a philosopher.6.     If the focus of your attention is on the spiritual nature you or a mystic or an occultist. (Big difference between these two.)       
So take your pick.What is most important it to Love! You cannot force another to love you.  You can only decide to love. 
Now back to Venus, the planet of Love, Love, Love!
The placement of Venus in your natal chart by Sign and House and the aspects that it makes to other planets will reveal what and how you love. 
Romance, which is the main focus on Valentine ’s Day, is revealed in the 5th house of your natal chart and the conditions of your first marriage is found in the 7th house.  If you are fond of the marriage ceremony and such celebrations your 2nd marriage is found in the 9th house.  And if you are really brave, the 3rd marriage is found in the 11th house.  If you can’t manage to cook your own food or do your own laundry all further marriages are found by skipping a house going counter-clock around the natal chart. 
Venus Rules the Signs of Taurus and Libra and is very happy if placed in those signs. Venus is Exalted in Pisces, a sign known for its imagination and gentleness.  If Venus is found in the Signs ruled by Mars (Aries and Scorpio) the love life may be a bit rocky because Venus  is in its Detriment.  Venus in Virgo is in its Fall because of the critical outlook found in this sign ruled by Mercury. 
Venus, the second planet nearest the Sun, is the ruler of love, beauty and harmony.  Venus is never more than 2 Signs away from the Sign that hosts the Sun.  Venus can only be 45 degrees from the Sun, a mildly adverse aspect.  Your values are at odds with your inner self when this happens.  It is rarely that far from the Sun.  Venus is called “The Morning Star” and “The Evening Star”.  It was Sacred to the Mayan culture and many Native American Tribes would no wage war when Venus was seen at night in the west right after the sunset.  You must remember Venus is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon and could be seen by the eye without a telescope.

The energy of Venus blends well with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune.  Conjunction, trines, and sextiles are the best aspects.  Square and Oppositions will create some disappointment in matters of the heart.
Venus in harsh aspect to Jupiter is often a sign of danger of diabetes.  The body will have trouble handling sugars   Venus is very uncomfortable with the energy of Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto.  It is best that there is no aspect from these planets to Venus. 
If Venus is retrograde at birth it is a signal that the person has many lessons to learn about all types of love and relationships.  There was an over emphasis on the self in past lives.  The person must learn to be generous with time, energy, attention, and love.  A Christmas gift of a ledger book is not really that romantic!  
Venus also rules money but that is for another blog.
I would like to tip my hat to the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia!
Of all of the Englishmen who came to the “New World” with “land grants” from the English King, only William Penn paid the Native Americans for their land.  In that fine city you will be lucky if you can find “The Night Kitchen Bakery” which is on Germantown Road in the Chestnut Hill area.  I am quite sure they have the world’s most beautiful chefs working there and the most delicious baked products and lunches.  I am quite certain it is a ten Star restaurant!!!!

May Cupid hit a slam dunk tomorrow!!
