Astrology and Anima/Animus

So in the back of my mind, I keep thinking about why I am almost dead equal T2 and T4.  I think it's the placement of my Mars and Venus.  These planets represent our male and female energy in a way.  My Venus is rising, thus people see it first.  My Mars is in the 12th house, very near the Ascendant, which means I'd like to conceal it, but I have a very strong male energy too.

Venus In the First House 
With Venus in the First House, you possess personal grace, a pleasing manner, and a friendly behavior.  You are socially outgoing and active in efforts to develop friendship and romance.
You are fond of beautiful clothes, and all things that will enhance your personal appearance.  Your natural ability to mix socially is likely to result in business, romantic, and marital opportunities.  You have talents in art, music, or other art forms.

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS
You are  optimistic, idealistic, and spiritually-oriented.  You seek to be honest and open in your feelings and reactions to those you love. You will often try to convert your loved ones to your own religious beliefs or moral principles. You generally seek to marry within your own religious or philosophic views.
You are ruled by benevolent Jupiter that is also the planet of long-distance travel, educating the higher mind.  You love to collect knowledge, experiences, wisdom, and enjoy outdoor activities, and love to travel to distant places.  You know how to enjoy life.  You are a comedian, a  philosopher, and a preacher.   
You are quite at home on the road, even in foregin countries.  You probably live somewhere that's far away from your birthplace. You often seek to marry foreigners or people of foreign places, or other race, those with advanced education, or with connections to institutions of higher learning.
Your taste in art and decor tends to be lavish, and you are fond of art forms that have a religious motif, and religious music can deeply affect you. You have a smile on your face at all times because you believe that everything will work out just fine.  You have a gift for lending out this same optimism to those who need it. The song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was written for you.
If Venus is afflicted in Sagittarius, there can be bluntness that offends the feelings of others, impractical idealism in romance, and a tendency to impose religious and moral standards dogmatically on loved ones.

Mars in 12th House: Repressed Rage

Those born with Mars in the 12th can find asserting themselves, and being direct and forceful very difficult. The desire to put themselves first and their interests first is lacking.

Pushing for they want in a direct manner is usually discouraged in childhood. Being selfish, assertive or angry is something that was frowned upon, and they may have difficulty going after what they want.

Mars in the 12th house hides from confrontation, and there will often be no reaction to conflict. Moreover, they can overreact and the individual blows up over minor incidents, and aggression is often misdirected. Nonverbal expression of anger can include slamming doors, angry silence, and indirect remarks. The individual may not feel their anger at the time something happens, and they get all steamed up a few days after the event.

This person may carry a heavy bag of unresolved anger problems, and will have to deal with family complexes. When anger is not acknowledged, owned, or experienced it tends to become repressed. The way this most frequently happens is that it is projected outside the individual onto the surrounding world. Mars here may attract situations in which they are victimized, and the twelfth house represents those things that are repressed and locked away.

Rage is sometimes articulated through strange fears and repressed feelings, which turned inward, and create violent fantasies and dreams. Anger is likely to be directed towards causes which champion the underdog, and those who are victimized in society, including the underprivileged, overlooked and ignored. Positively they can be unselfish, working more on the behalf of others rather than themslves.

Mars in Sagittarius

Those born with Mars in Sagittarius express their will and desire in an enthusiastic and impulsive way. Mars in Sagittarius tends to be direct about everything. However, their many interests and projects, tend to flow into different areas, and difficulties may be experienced in situations that require discipline, patience, and attention to the practical details. Although they are the least focused in their energy of all the fire signs, they have the largest perspective on life.

Mars in Sagittarius is motivated by their ideals, and work best when allowed physical, mental and spiritual freedom. They have strong religious and philosophical convictions, and have intense feelings about morality. Mars in Sagittarius is the crusader of its personal beliefs, and they will actively defend their ideas and ideals. The individual will also act on their beliefs. Mars here can be a leader in law, religion, and teaching, and have the desire of bringing knowledge to others. Mars in Sagittarius is motivated to discover the truth, and they want to do something with their understanding. An active interest in higher subjects and passion in education is common with this placement.

Mars here is physically energetic, and they are extremely restless and hate sitting still for very long. Mars placed in the fiery sign of Sagittarius may have a volatile temper, and act self-righteous when they feel frustrated. Mars in Sagittarius is like a wild bushfire, and their anger can spread pretty fast. Although Mars here can give enthusiasm and spark to more introverted charts, they also don’t like limits imposed on personal freedom and pleasure. Sagittarius is roused to anger by injustice and will fight for a good cause.

Mars in Sagittarius will not refract until they have made their point, and is fond of debating; especially when they think something is wrong! They can be frank, candid and even blunt. If Mars is challenged in the chart there could be quarrelsome, and there is also a danger of accidents, through a careless and reckless nature. It may simply be because they have their sights set on the far distance that they don’t always look at what is in front of them.

These people strongly defend their beliefs, and are ever hopeful against all odds, and they inspire others to courage and expansion. Mars in Sagittarius needs a quest, vision, and a sense of purpose. They are aspiring people, open and generous. Mars in Sagittarius is adaptable and changeable in their enthusiasm, and can happily indulge in many activities at the same time. They love to explore and are always seeking adventure and excitement to spice up their lives. They have a need for constant variety, stimulation and movement.

Mars in Sagittarius needs honesty, friendship and fun in an intimate relationship. Someone with a good sense of humour is a must. They enjoy sharing adventures and involving themselves in exciting and sometimes heated philosophical discussion. This expansive Mars often drives people into sales, lawyers, travel, teaching, or philosophy. There may be a love of sports and outdoor activities; they could also be interested in working with animals. They also do better as freelancers, and they have lots of enthusiasm for new projects.

Venus in Sagittarius advised to focus on the hips, so the tight pants and skirts only accentuate your strengths.

Moon in Sagittarius - if it's a sports suit, make sure the well-known brand, a bathrobe, too, must be expensive, good cut, others to be sure it is appreciated.

Also, Sun in Scorpio:

Sun in Scorpio - note the tight stuff classic style, with well executed details and rich finish.

ScorpioThe always sexy Scorpion is hard to categorize. One day you could be sleek in the latest look; the next you're kicking back in something flowing and romantic. Whatever you're wearing, and for whatever reason, you've probably got some ulterior motive. When you go out on the town in something short and skimpy, you're probably on the prowl for a partner who'll offer some fun in the wee hours. You'll put on a pricey power suit if that's what it takes to score a high-level corporate job. You follow trends as long as they suit you, but you're no slave to fashion — if everyone went around with partially shaven eyebrows, you’d probably refrain. On the other hand, you may have been first in line for the best retro styles.

You're bound to either wear lots of jewelry, or no jewelry at all. Your hair might be long and luscious, or short at spiky. You could wear wigs and costume paint, as long as how you look matches your changeable inner nature on that particular day. As a Scorpio, you’re a master of disguise: You could wear makeup like a mask, or take it all off so those around you think you're revealing the bare truth. Your hidden — or perhaps unhidden — passion is silky, sensual undergarments in black or red.

Rising Sign Sagittarius – Sag are freedom lovers so they look for clothing that is comfortable and sporty. They love faded jeans and sweatshirts, oversized T-shirts and jackets. You’ll find Sagittarius own more than one pair of tennis shoes. Their look is fresh and casual. Purple is their color so you’ll find many Archer women love lilac, orchid and periwinkle hues. The guys often wear jackets or sweat shirts advertising their favorite sports teams. They also love flannel shorts, hunting vests and leather jackets.

I also have:

Moon in the 12th House

This position of the Moon indicates an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all that is ethereal, groundless, and eternal. As sensitive as you are, you often have delayed reactions to your own emotional experiences. You need frequent moments of solitude in order to recharge yourself emotionally, and this need, while strong, can also lead to feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood. While you are a perceptive person, you are often either flooded with emotions that are hard to define, or completely out of touch with what you are feeling. Either extreme keeps you from truly discovering your emotional needs. Negative expressions of this position are avoidance of responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to oneself (and perhaps to others) for not participating, or emotional immaturity. You are sympathetic to others' suffering, but not always emotionally available to help.
*Your own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to you, and it is often difficult for you to share with others what you are feeling. You frequently withdraw from contact with the world, and need a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of yourself. You identify with the oppressed, disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and want to help them or care for them in some way.
