Venus in Virgo
Venus is in fall in Virgo: love is expressed by usefulness and held to a standard. Attraction is to competence and cleanliness of mind; affection shows as help, notice and small improvements. Venus here can criticise what it loves and undervalue what it is. Taste is understated and exact. The work is to accept an imperfect love, including its own.
