You may feel your love won't be appreciated or reciprocated. You may get involved in secret love affairs or fall in love with a person who is quite unavailable to you.

You are very private about your affairs and may even keep your affairs secret. You are big on romance and you tend to live and breathe your partner once you’re hooked. Not the best at defining your boundaries—where your needs and your partner’s needs separate—you can get hurt in love rather easily. You can also feel used easily as well.

You can appreciate the difficulties of others and be understanding of the problems they may be having. You value a certain amount of self-sacrifice and a giving attitude in a partner, as you embody these traits. You can discriminate between superficiality and the reality beneath it. You can be quite mysterious to others, even if you don’t mean to be, because your romantic needs are kept hidden. Although you are quite naturally drawn to relationships that are unusual, secret, challenging, and unequal, do take the time to examine why this may be the case. Be certain that you are not, in some way, punishing yourself because you don’t feel worthy of an equal and public relationship. Because Venus represents attraction, and the twelfth house is associated with the feet, your feet may be especially attractive and/or erogenous zones!
