Above all other astrological aspects, this conjunction indicates musical and poetic talent. The person is expressive and his greatest fulfillment comes from sharing his wonderful mental harmony with others. He is eloquent, intelligent, and often brilliant. There is a marked dexterity to the person’s intellect. His mind is in a state of restful alertness, ever ready to feel out, or objectively analyze, a situation. Once he does this, he is then able to generate the most precise and appropriate response. Like Paul Newman and Robert De Niro, who have the conjunction within two or three degrees, the person can charm anyone. He knows which words cause what effects in whom.

He is powerful discriminating, and knows art and beauty better than anyone. He is appreciate. However, the person expects to receive pleasure and be treated well. He avoids difficult of challenging people as well as stressful situations. He has no use for austerities, the rugged life, or any variation of “roughing it”.

The person is kind, sympathetic, and fun to be around. He is tactful and diplomatic. Women feel immediately at ease with him. As Venus rules the love life, the person gets an intelligent, communicative spouse, one who is youthful and beautiful. Unfortunately, the partner may be fickle or emotionally detached in the relationship. The person is very social. He wears nice clothing and has a youthful appearance has entire life. He may be somewhat effeminate due to his grace and sensitivity. He may also be accused of vanity. Aside from music and all arts, he is attracted to jewelry, fashion or design, drawing, and writing (but not the tedious sort). If the conjunction is extremely close by degree, the nerves will be too delicate and the person suffers mentally. In nearly all cases, there is an occasional, but profound, stubbornness because the person is so enamored with his own logical and mental process.
