(83) The Sun/Venus Pluspoint

Venus signifies whatever one appreciates, finds of value, or finds beautiful. This may be anything – from trivial things – the minor amenities of life – to the eternal and enduring truths of existence. When Venus is combined with the Sun, the Sun's process of prioritizing and of finding what is most important and making it central to one's life is applied to all that Venus appreciates.

At its most negative this combination blends the potential selfishness of Venus with the egotism which is the misguided manifestation of the Sun, resulting in self love and a desire to put the self first in all things, which, of course perpetuates negative karma while generating more.

At this combination's best, the objectivity and positive willfulness of the Sun brings true, real and enduring values to light, and holds to those with great constancy. That side of Venus which can wallow in the subjectivity and drunkeness of passionate romance is replaced by objective love – a love which seeks out what is best for both self and the loved one in the long-range future, rather than immersing itself in the allurements of immediate gratification.

With this combination the values one most wishes to share in relationships are those that last and which reflect the core meaning and purpose of the self.
