Ascendant Quincunx Venus

This aspect shows that you are more compromising than is necessary toward those you are in close contact with. You do favors for people so that they will appreciate you, and you make concessions to them in order to keep peace. But you may secretly hate yourself for this when you think about it later, for you realize that by conceding you have given them permission to treat you as they wish. You may not have the opportunity to develop all your creative potentials, but you will be satisfied if some of them are developed. You know how to compensate for what is lacking in your life and can get by with a lot less than most people would be happy with. You do not measure your happiness by what you get so much as by the degree of fulfillment you derive from what you are doing.

You try to communicate with other members of your family and make whatever compromises are necessary to maintain harmony in your home. You are willing to work to get what you want, and you hope that those close to you will appreciate your efforts. Sometimes you feel that you are being taken advantage of, but you make a point of trying to serve in any way you can. You have a fair number of friends, but you question the friendship of someone who asks for a loan.

In your work you adapt yourself to the demands of each job. Overreacting to what you think is expected, you extend yourself too far in complying with these demands. However, you win the good fellowship of your co-workers and superiors alike. Security is very important to you, though it may seem that you will never be able have it. Perhaps you will marry for financial advantage, although that would mean making a substantial compromise, which you might not be able to live with. On the other hand, you might justify your decision by looking back at all the concessions you had to make that only served to benefit others.

In love you may spend a lot of time trying to improve your appearance and making yourself attractive to a potential lover. Indeed, you may become quite an artist at making yourself look irresistible. This is a valuable attribute, but do not let it get in the way of natural, unpremeditated communication about your own and your partner''s needs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all your cosmetic efforts are for nothing if you are not the right person. If you are the right person, you need no extra frills. Indeed, too much preparation can put a certain distance between you and your partner, making it hard to get at the real you beneath the window dressing.

Except for this difficulty, you are probably very good at making your needs known to your lover without words. Indeed, you may unknowingly overstate the urgency of your desires. So give some thought to being more subtle, particularly on the verbal level, because non-verbally you may already be saying enough. Do not say any more than you need to, for your lover might expect more than you can deliver, which would be unfair. Save your energies for the deeds you are anticipating rather than using them up in the anticipation itself.
