Astrological Repair Manual

Here is where values and feelings are put to the task of improving things and
people. Self-evaluation could be the strongest suit.
Those were all extremely personal uses for this inner function. Now we’ll look at
this personal function working itself out in the social realm.
Venus operating in the Seventh House:
Here is a placement of evaluation right at the spot where a person is most aware of
others. Feeling is used as the primary function for bonding with people.
Venus operating in the Eighth House:
This is where Venus’ function of valuing is taken deeper to bring relationships to a
stable state based on mutual feelings.
Venus operating in the Ninth House:
This area of activity gives Venus’ function of evaluation a lot of room to soar.
Feelings broaden out and encompass more “territory”.
Venus operating in the Tenth House:
Here is where evaluation becomes the prime determinant in the affairs of society.
Feelings are used in career and business environments.
Venus operating in the Eleventh House:
Values operating in this activity field are used to bring bonding to social groups.
Appreciations grow toward consensus.
Venus operating in the Twelfth House:
Evaluation blends with contemplation. Values are used to plumb the depths of all
matters.
So, there’s a brief look at Venus in the Houses. The Instructions will give you a
chance to add the Sign to an interpretation. This is certainly nowhere near what could be
said about Venus. But I think you’ve noticed by now:
I’m giving you just a taste of what the Functions of the Planets’ cycles can mean,
along with other basic astrological information. This is all aiming toward the end of the
book where you’ll receive a method that will let you be your own astrologer—distill your
own Meanings from your own chart (or, others...).
I don’t think we should get too attached to hanging out around Venus ;-) so, let’s
get much closer to the Sun and go visit Mercury.
