Venus Williams
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Venus' basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Venus Williams comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Venus Williams - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Venus Williams" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Venus a little better. This page describes the disguise Williams wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

She is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if she strongly disagrees with someone, Venus Williams will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. She often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Venus has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Venus Williams very much wants to be liked and because of her need for approval and acceptance, Williams is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. She so much wants to please that often Venus Williams will suppress her own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Williams' politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.

Her need to create harmony extends to her physical environment and personal appearance as well. Venus Williams appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. She does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From her home furnishings to her choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

She also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Williams is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Venus possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to her and finding the right person to share her life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Venus Williams - she is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases her self-confidence. Venus Williams does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on her partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being herself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Venus.

Others see Venus Williams as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to her, this is the sort of face Williams shows to the world. She possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. Her motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Venus Williams usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.

Venus Williams has a strong desire to constantly be in the limelight and she considers second place already as failure. Very self-confident, Williams has the ability to mold her surrounding to her own needs and is likely to furnish her home according to her taste.
