Music, Venus & Aquarius

    "The Music Genius" 

 

Venus in Aquarius music tatse:

This position in Venus in one of its most rebellious expressions.  Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of rebellion. The natives with this position tend to be attracted to music that is deviant and sometimes odd and off-beat. With songs most people find to be at its worse, a Venus in Aquarius will find it to be a work of art. They tend to be attracted to artists that most people have never heard or seen, drawing them into the music underground. They like music that is cleverly constructed and original.  They pay no attention to music that is typical.  They also enjoy music that they can listen to with their friends at a club or house party. House music is one of the genres that are good for a Venus in Aquarius native. Aquarius is traditionally ruled by Saturn, the planet of limitations, order, and discipline. With that being said, Venus in Aquarius natives appreciate the order or arrangement of a song, even more than the song itself. They like New-Age types of music; music with a futuristic style like EDM. They are highly interested in technology and its influence on modern music. Some of them do like music of the past, especially if the song, sound, or singer proved to be an influence on music as a whole. They are "the water-bearers" of Venus,  symbolizing clouds and storms. Thus, they love music that is shocking or unexpected, as well as meaningful in some way.

 

Venus in Aquarius's music expression: "I Love Spontaniety"

Aquarius is a sign of genius, and thus Venus in Aquarius natives display nothing but brilliance in their musical craft. They might seem off-beat to some because they don't do what is always socially acceptable. However, because they invent so many new musical trends within their craft, people cannot help but respect them. And you can always trust they can spot what will be the next best thing long before it is the next best thing in the musical world. They are all about musical progress and they like to create music that is up-to-date with our technological advancements. They like experimenting with different sounds, developing new musical methods as they go along. They brainstorm ideas with a blink of an eye, so naturally switch up older concepts for newer musical concepts.  Or they may just blend the older and the newer musical concepts all at once! With Venus in Aquarius you have to expect the unexpected. This, however, does not mean their music is sloppy or without effort. There is usually a method to their madness. They just need to be careful of losing identity. Musical themes of friendship and suffocating love are more common with this Venus position than other positions. Venus in Aquarius natives know how to relate to various audiences because of their ability to blend various music sounds, as well as popular social ideas. They are quirky, explicit, and rebellious artists, yet oddly reserved in their musical expression. Like Sagittarius, they can be philosophical and humanitarian storytellers and often make use of this when creating music. (This may also apply if you have Venus aspecting Saturn or Uranus.)

Musical Attraction and Expression according to Venus: (Other factors can alter one's musical taste and expression, such as planetary aspects and house placements in your natal chart.  If you have Venus in the 11th house, you may relate to some of these descriptions. Another thing to consider is the ruling planet of your sign, and the sign that your ruling planet is positioned in. For example, if you are Venus in Aquarius, your ruling planet is Saturn and Uranus. If your Saturn or Uranus is in a sign other than Aquarius, this will alter both your music taste and your musical expression. Uranus is a planet that lasts in its position for an entire generation, thus many with Venus in Aquarius will be affected by it).
