Venus in Sagittarius : freedom and spirituality
The planet Venus is in the midst of Fire and masculine energies here, under the rulership of Jupiter, so it represents a source of heat which is diffuse, yet also intense.
Venus in Sagittarius people are extremely idealistic, and also very free-spirited and independent. They have a tendency to generalize, and can always easily take a step back to get an overview of a situation and put things into a philosophical perspective. They are very mystical in their relationships with other people, and metaphysics are never far from their mind in a romantic context.
Venus in Sagittarius people are also very playful. They like to try new things and learn new things, and they are fairly intellectual and serious about romantic matters. But just like a centaur, their animalistic, boorish side, lacking in tact, is never far away either, and they may also be wild and casual in some way, which stand in sharp contrast with their deeper spiritual nature.
These people can really be very independent and distant, not becoming very “officially” invested in their relationships. They are mindful that love is ephemeral in some ways, which is likely be very unnerving for signs who have a greater need for closeness and a sense of mutual belonging, and who reproach them for their fickle nature and lack of commitment. But if you do not grant them this freedom, they will simply take it by force and you will never see them again.
Venus in Sagittarius people are very optimistic, affable, sociable, and friendly, and have a good sense of humor, grand ideals, and a head full of dreams, but also a very abstract affectivity which does not easily materialize in a concrete way. They are very open-minded, but at the same time sometimes end up being very conventional and moralistic.
To them, affectivity and their quest for meaning go hand in hand, and they prioritize their desire to be elevated in some way. They want things to happen spontaneously and in a direct way, yet also within a limited, well-structured framework.
Venus in Sagittarius people need space to grow, and they also need to be able to express themselves. They need to be able to move, and they blossom when surrounded by inconstancy; their adventurous side needs to be regularly called into use.
If you want to seduce a Venus in Sagittarius person, give them their freedom, be amicable, make them laugh, and also be candid and direct. Help them to learn new things, pique their curiosity, teach them, philosophize, be ready to argue and take them seriously, and be tolerant of their lack of tact. To them, if they love you, the best gift that they can give you is to allow you to be free.
Artistically speaking, Venus in Sagittarius people are fairly eclectic, very much a jack of all trades, and very versatile in the arts. Capable of being both a painter and a musician, they like to dive into new things without really getting attached to them. They generally like abstract art, and also anything related to primitive art. They love learning about foreign artistic culture : anything that is exotic or from somewhere far away allows them to travel in their mind.
In terms of money, Venus in Sagittarius people are fairly bohemian, in that they are more attached to ideas than material things; however, they are also often very attached to their own comfort, and so the conformist side of them bends to social pressures for the sake of their own well-being. They follow the equation “money = freedom”, and to them, money is a tool for making the most out of things, rather than a goal in and of itself.
Venus retrograde in Sagittarius
Venus’ Retrograde motion in this sign tends to cause the planet’s effects to be greatly internalized. These people are more serious, more sensitive, and possibly more impetuous. They may be harsh and solitary, and twist the facts in a very abstract way.
They are not any less open or tolerant, but they do run the risk of being much less accessible.
