Venus
 Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra. Venus was the Greek goddess of love and beauty, also representing the feminine and fertility.
Because it's the brightest object in the sky except for the Sun and Moon, Venus was known even in prehistoric times.
Venus rules love, relationships, cultural activities, art, luxury items, and beauty. Jewelry generally falls under her rulership. The importance of material possessions is associated with Venus.

Qualities
As you know, the 12 Zodiac Signs all have personalities. A further way to explore commonalities between the signs is to examine their underlying "Qualities": Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. These Quadruplicities, groups of four Signs 90 degrees away from each other that reflect a person's attitudes in life and the way they approach projects.
The four Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Thy're the ones found at East, North, West, and South - the First, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Houses. Each one has a strong character. They have initiative and motivation, they get things moving, but they're not necesasarily good at follow-through.
The four Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, the Second, Fifth, Eighth, and Eleventh Houses. Because they're stable and reliable, they're the ones who see projects through to completion. However, they can also be stubborn and inflexible.
The four Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, the Third, Sixth, Ninth, and Twelfth Houses. These people are happy to fill assigned roles, and are adaptable to changing circumstances. Their weakness is that they can be wishy-washy.

Fall Equinox 2011
 By David Ockrassa
The Looking Glass
The Libra Ingress is on Friday, Sept. 23, at 5:04 AM EST, 3:04 AM on the west coast. The wide Grand Cross of the Cancer Ingress has broken up, as Saturn has moved a ways out of reach to the opposition to Uranus and speedy Mercury has moved from his position then to a conjunction with the now Libra Sun, although still out of sign. But while the Grand Cross is absent this chart, there is still a T-Square pattern for us to ponder and cope with. While generally not as challenging as the Cross, which pulls us in four directions at once, this pattern still presents us with tugs in three.
The Libra Ingress is always, at least on some level, about relationships and / or communications, so those become underlying potentials for us this time of year. It suggests an opportune time to put some greater than normal energy and thought into how we relate to others in a one-to-one manner, and to how we communicate with those people in our lives. While we should, of course, always be aware of these issues, not everyone has Libra strong in their natal chart. The cosmos seems to send an annual message when it's time for a tune-up.
The Sun, having moved 90 degrees around the Zodiac, is now opposite
Uranus and square Pluto, instead of being square Uranus and opposite
Pluto, as it was at the Cancer Ingress. Instead of being face to face
with the transformational influence of Pluto, that energy now feels like
it's coming from somewhere off to the side, and is perhaps a bit less
conscious. At the same time, the eccentric energy of Uranus, now
opposite the Sun, becomes a bit clearer in our perception. We can more
easily see where the impetus to make changes is coming from than we
could three months ago. Keep in mind that both of these outer planets
are harbingers of change, Uranus in its drive to try something new, and
Pluto in its steady pressure to dispense with the old and no longer
useful things, attitudes and emotions that are no longer productive to
our aims.
Uranus, in Aries, can be said to be more impatient than usual to break
the mold of past habit patterns. Aries adds the dynamic energy to "just
do it" to Uranus urge to replace the old way of doing things with
something - anything - different. The opposition to the Sun can often
seem like this drive is coming from outside ourselves, and is often
projected onto someone around us. But this push is really an internal
energy. We are perhaps only vaguely aware of what we need to change
within ourselves to improve the way we related and communicate with
others. Take this time to honestly consider your style of relating,
evaluate what still works and what you're doing just out of habit. Old
habits, no matter how outgrown they may be, are still hard to change.
Uranus can provide the spark to start.
And Pluto, as the fulcrum of that T-square, can certainly increase the
pressure to make some changes. His placement in Capricorn, the sign of
the established order, signals that this order contains elements that
need to go, no matter how dear we might think those things are to us.
Pluto's drive is to eliminate what is no longer worthwhile, and in this
chart it reinforces the message of Uranus. Since the square often feels
like it's an energy coming from our blind side, be alert to unexpected
events or situations that may seem confrontational, but are really
asking us to consider what we are doing, and whether or not that still
is really helping us achieve our goals in relationships, or is just an
old strategy that, really, no longer works. Be willing to release those
behavior patterns if they are no longer helpful.
Both the Moon and Mars are in the early degrees of Leo in this chart,
making easy aspects (sextile and trine, respectively) to the Sun and to
Uranus, and an awkward inconjunct to Pluto. They add a dash of ego
awareness to the mix, helping us to hold on to our basic identity and
emotional center while dealing with the stress of the needed changes.
But beware a tendency to heated or rash emotional reactions to the
pressures that will surely unfold over the next three months, as Mars
can sometimes be a bit hard to handle, especially when linked this
closely to the emotional and protective Moon. There may be an
unconscious tendency to lash out at the perceived source of our tension
when we forget that the push to change is really coming from within, as
we start to process our habit patterns in the field of relationships and
communication.
Mercury, in late Virgo, reminds us to seek precision in our
communications and can help us to articulate clearly to our partners
what the stresses we're going to be going through are bringing up, and
emphasizes the communication issues that are, actually, part of the
stresses. If we can't talk clearly about the pressure for internal
changes we may precipitate the volatile emotional reactions that the
Moon / Mars conjunction warns against.
Venus is now also in Libra, and suggests that what we really want is to
improve our relationships, so by becoming more aware of what works well
in that area of our life... and of what no longer does! We're on the
right path. Being willing to let go of the counter-productive behaviors,
once identified, is the hard part. Saturn, still in Libra, can be the
needed self-discipline to do so, if we take personal responsibility for
our actions. On the other hand, if we don't take that responsibility on
ourselves, Saturn will still be an energy of discipline, except that it
will be felt as coming from outside, and will likely reduce our options.
Taking ownership of the energies of the chart and making proactive
choices, rather than seemingly being boxed in and limited, is the best
way to use astrology.
