Where to Live for Relationships

There are many factors to consider when looking for a place to live to find harmony in relationships on your locational astrology map.

Venus, the planet most associated with love, happiness, and relationships, plays a big role in the quality of relationships you might find in any given location, but it is not the only influence to look at. Here we will explore the possible manifestations of Venus in this regard, but we also discuss a few others.

7th House Influence

Another strategy is to move to a location where a benefic planet is in your 7th House, because the 7th House is the house of relationships in astrology. This is illustrated on the map by going West of that planet's Descendant Line. While this can add some positivity to relationships, the 7th House is often a placement that shows what we need to learn in relationships, so while you would most likely try to avoid a malefic in the 7th House, placing a benefic like Venus here could bring you more dating opportunities, but it doesn't always mean it brings the highest quality of relationships. Much of this has to do with the strength of that planet in your natal chart as well.

Instead, placing a benefic like Venus in the 7th House might be better for your social experiences in general. It can help you come before the public in a positive light, or help propel your career in some sort of creative or diplomatic profession. The relationship aspect of this Venus placement might be secondary to these other things.

It is also worth noting that you would most likely not want to go East of your Venus Descendant Line because that would bring Venus to your 6th House, which is the House of "problems." Doing so would likely bring up more relationship problems for you to deal with.

Other Planetary Considerations

Many times, it's all about knowing which influences to avoid that can help you most in the area of relationships. When looking at parans, for instance, you'd most likely want to avoid any malefic influence with Venus, that is one of the simplest ways to avoid unnecessary conflicts in relationships, and quite often people are living near these lines without even knowing it! Here are some examples of parans that are good for relationships, and ones you should avoid:

Parans are the horizontal lines that run along certain latitudes around the globe, made up by two planetary energies that have come together. You would need to be 70 miles North or South of one of these lines to feel the energy, and the closer you are the stronger the influence would be felt.

Combining Malefic Energy with Venus (Avoid)

Another rule of thumb would be to avoid any paran where Venus combines with a malefic planet. A strong Venus is so closely tied to positivity in relationships that if you are to add any sort of malefic energy you are essentially creating unnecessary difficulty in this realm.

For instance, a Venus-Saturn Paran creates limitations in love, adding extra difficulty in relationships. Venus-Neptune makes relationships more complicated, where overwhelming emotions can often take over. Venus-Pluto can start off passionate, but deeper issues are more likely to surface as time goes on, creating pain and heartbreak.

All of the planets have some balance of benefic and malefic qualities, this list is meant to show their dominant qualities on either side in general. I left off ☉ Sun and ⚷ Chiron from this list, because they tend to straddle an equal balance of benefic and malefic energy, depending on the situation. The Sun with Venus can be positive for relationships, but you need to be careful not to let the egos take over. Chiron with Venus usually leads to a broken heart in relationships.
