In an astrological chart, the planet Venus is associated with how a person expresses their self in their relationships- especially in love, attraction and marriage. It describes how beauty is appreciated and interpreted by the person and also how they relate to others. The sign of the Venus is often the same as the Sun since they can never be more than forty five degrees from each other. In the cases when the signs are identical, the behavior the person has towards people in general translates into their romantic life. If the signs are different, there is a disparity between how they treat people in general and how they treat people they are romantically involved with.

For those who are born with their Venus in Virgo, there is a tendency to be overly critical of emotions and people. They like to be cautious with romantic notions. Shy, they can hide behind a cold demeanor to protect the deep feelings they do store inside. It is hard for them to operate in impulsive, unknowable situations and that is what dating usually involves. They will often be accused of living inside their own head and not coming out to connect with others often enough. It isn't a purposeful act. They are more comfortable in their own thoughts than just about anywhere else.
