Ok if you were born on the 8th of Nov 1966
Your Venus would astronomically be in the location of roughtly 14 Scorpio (it may change a little given time and place on the planet).
Venus = 14 dgrees - is astronomic location of where venus is. Astronomy stops there and doens't interpret... therefore I guess the sign is used as a locator in the sky.
In astrology Venus is given the interpretation of being a planet that is about sexualy attraction, money, how you adorne yourself, how you express beauty, how you seduce people.
Scorpio is a passionate, intense, loyal, deep, penetrating, obessive, fixed, stuborn, determined, magentic, scary sign...
Venus in scorpio can be obessive, have powerful impact, can be hypnotic, almost magnitise people they date... Very sexy in a deep mysterious way
Venus would sit in the persons chart and be aspected by other planets... on this date it has lot of aspects which I wont go through.....
This venus is the persons potential - how they are likely to be....
What is involved in dating (which is a relatively light weight occation), is a planet from today may aspect venus, either negatively or possitively... Ie the planets for todays astronomy are super-imposted on that persons chart and the mathematical degree is calculated.. thats the aspects..
So if mars (sex drive/agression etc) for today is squaring the natives venus (which it is not today), this is a stressful aspect... the person will exhibit this energy in a driven manner - they may argue with a woman, or be really horny and do nothing about it, or seriously pursui the girl in the bakery (to either a possitive or negative outcome). This aspect is pretty driven so for a shy guy it may be the kick up the bum he needs to ask the girl out.... it really depends on how well he has got to grips with himself...
Alternatively if Mars was at 14 degrees Cancer today - this would be a trine - 120 degree angle. The person might do pleasant Venus things, like paint the house and make it look beautiful. Go out on a nice date (without arguments etc).
Does this make sence, and I'm REALLY not trying to convince you, just show there is more to it than you realise...
FYI it was Gordon Ramsey's birthdate I used.. but not his full chart
