..to briefly summarize,

The term "unaspected" can be misleading, since a planet will invariably make some aspect pattern...either through minor aspects, connection with the angles of the chart, midpoints of or thru harmonics. However, an unaspected planet is commonly defined as one which makes (no "Major" aspects) within reasonable orb (although what determineds "reasonable orb" is still a matter of controversy and debate). Unaspected planets may manifest like exact conjunctons in terms of intensified single-mindedness of impulse and interest. Yet unlike a natal conjunction, an unaspected planet is apt to experience a sense of "isolation or searching" in dealing with its basic principles.

An unaspected planet is usually rather difficult to integrate. The energy tends to develop in isolation and waver between two extremes of expression - it can be either hardly noticeable OR is so dominant in certain situations that it completely overshadows the rest of the chart. Such a planet is comparable to an actor in an improvised play who has no contact with his fellow actors. He may remain largely in the background so that the play unfolds without his presence being felt OR his presence is so great that the other actors can hardly get a word in edgeways. This does not mean the planet is a weak actor in the chart. An unaspected planet is said to indicate an area (the planet, the sign, and the house) that you are trying to express but find it difficult to do, because the planet doesn't have the necessary "energy" to make it operate. The idea expressed here that such a planet will not be weak or ineffective, but, failing the "interchanges" with other planets, its principles, and especially its "drive or urge" when considered as an instinct or a force in the unconscious self, will not be properly integrated into the wholeness of the person.

An unaspected planet can appear quite intense and one-pointed in its expression, since its energy is not colored by other planets functioning thru other signs. And since other houses are not involved, this planet is apt to concentrate its circumstantial manifestation in one emphasized area. Usually our estimations of how any planet might act out its impulses ARE prompted by the presence of aspects to that planet. But with no aspects to consider, an unaspected planet that seems to stand out is of an "unpredictable, occillating" nature..

UNASPECTED VENUS
Perspective may be less characteristic of an unaspected Venus, since the lack of aspects from other planets offers little sense of contrast, a factor essential for the "development" of perspective. And while contrast can be experienced thru natal oppositions in the chart involving other planets, it here is unable to be evoked thru Venus processes. Contrast involving The Venus principle may at least be experienced thru variances according to the "sign and/or house" placement. Otherwise, it tends to remain latent. Since an unaspected Venus is not able to branch out and associate itself with other planets, the outgoing, socially adaptable side of this planet has difficulty expressing itself (at least with a sense of coordination, balance, and poise). This placement may describe the wallflower Venus whose social instincts are too self-contained to have an impact upon the environment. Venus represents the attraction principle. Without aspects, the capacity to attract is limited to a "singular focus" of interest, which may prove to be obsessive and single-minded. Affectional interests are not apt to be actively pursued. The individual can be very passive here, yet very intense in his response. The sensual, appetite-fulfilling side of Venus could be more accentuated, since one can remain self-contained and socially-uninvolved while still pursuing these personal urges.

When unaspected, Venus is "less driven to reflect and evaluate" before acting with the degree of deliberation or vacillation typical of a heavily-aspected Venus. The individual is less impelled to consider others needs within his psyche, denoted by the other planets, and thus is less urged to establish balance in self-expression. Venus here may tend to fulfill its impulses in a sporatic, almost compulsive manner showing little restraint or moderation. The individual can become very one-pointed in the satisfaction of his desires. But for the most part, affectional needs remain latent and unevoked or else are rarely displayed openly. This Venus can be quite undemonstrative, although quite reactive on more subjective levels. While the individual may feel quite divorced from receiving the common pleasures of social interaction (making him more of an observer rather than a participator in social functions), he still may attain intense satisfaction from an exclusively valued area of his personal life, usually indicated by Venus' house position. ..con't

..He may be able to internally balance himself in this area and achieve a sense of inner harmony that can seldom be acquired thru the usual external Venus activities.

SYMBOLIC MANIFESTATION (Unaspected Venus) Special dimension of creativity is indicated conspicuously; often artistic or musical abilities; sometimes obsessive activity in relationships.

***
The qualities that often cause difficulties with unaspected planets are also their source of strength: the energy which develops largely in isolation without regard to the other planets can end up being expressed very purely. Perhaps the unaspected planet is working out a special level of development that cannot be afforded otherwise if "strongly" aspected.
