As a rule, they are extremely loyal to their friends and lovers, and their affections are strong and long -lasting. With Venus in Taurus, natives display a fondness for material comfort and pleasant surroundings. They have a natural love for obtaining and displaying material possessions and show great concern in maintaining personal beauty. This extends to the people natives hold dear to them, and if Venus is afflicted in this sign, they may become obsessed with cleanliness and beauty. Venus conjunct Mars confers great personal magnetism and sex appeal.
Natives are extremely passionate and romantic, resulting in conflicts between lust and love.
This passion tends to pervade every aspect of natives lives. They may become dour and pessimistic. Their ambition and drive to excel make them unafraid to face challenges that many times would be left undone by others. Thus, their willpower and assertiveness needs an outlet or they find themselves easily bored. This is especially true about romantic affairs, although they display deep affection for family members.
