Venus in Capricorn
Venus in Capricorn loves seriously and for the long term. Attraction is to competence, reserve and status earned; affection is expressed by reliability and shown late. Venus here fears being foolish more than being alone. Taste is classic, quality over novelty. The work is to let pleasure be unearned sometimes, and to say the soft thing out loud.
In plain words
Venus stands for what you love and enjoy. In Capricorn, that works in a Capricorn way: serious, patient and ambitious. You play the long game and expect to earn it.
