♀ Venus in Aquarius
Venus in Aquarius means the venus stood in Aquarius at the moment you were born. Venus meets aquarius: attraction and values — what you find beautiful and how you love. It moves through a sign in about 30.3 days, which is short enough for the placement to be personal.

Venus governs attraction and values — what you find beautiful and how you love. In Aquarius, that function takes on independence, principle and distance from the herd — a Fixed Air expression ruled by Uranus (traditionally Saturn).
Where it strains
Intellectualises feeling, and mistakes emotional distance for objectivity.
Reading a placement properly
Venus in Aquarius describes a function in a style. It says nothing yet about where that plays out — for that you need the house, and the house needs a birth time. A placement read without its house is half a sentence.
