One whose natal Venus is in an element that is incompatible with that of their Sun could experience an inner discord in which their emotionally-conditioned tastes (Venus) would be in contrast to their more essential needs and values (Sun). This can manifest in many ways, for example, tending to attract people into intimate relationships who do not deeply fulfill one’s true needs, or trying to express one’s affections in a way that does not harmonize with one’s higher values.
