What Venus means in astrology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Known as Earth’s “sister planet” due to their similar size, Venus is the only planet in the solar system named after a female goddess. Like the moon<\/a>, Venus represents many of the classically feminine traits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glowing, gorgeous Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky. Only the moon (not a planet per se) shines brighter, in fact. Along with rosy Jupiter<\/a>, she is one of the “great benefics”: a planet that astrologically speaking, bring a primarily positive affect. In Roman mythology, she is the goddess of love, sex, beauty, pleasure, and what\u2014and who\u2014we treasure. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Venus orbits<\/a> the Sun in 225 days, she spins very slowly on her axis. One day on Venus is longer an entire YEAR on Earth! Venus hangs in a sign for three to five weeks on average. Every 18 months, however, she will turn retrograde and can linger in a single zodiac sign (or pivot between a pair of them) for up to four months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venus\u2014and her cosmic copilot Mars<\/a>\u2014are the lovebirds of the solar system.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real talk: This planet knows how to luxuriate. She governs our senses and refines our sensibilities, reminding us to pause and deeply inhale those roses. Your Venus sign in your chart reveals your dating style, how you like to be romanced and what will visually attract you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the moon governs our emotional security, Venus is more about the wining and dining. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is the effect of Venus in astrology?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Venus’ position in your chart reveals your divine feminine energy, a trait every human carries, no matter your physical gender. If you were born with Venus in assertive Aries you may be a warrior woman, delighting with your daring moves and radiant heat. Venus in future-forward Aquarius may be more of an “Athena” archetype wooing with a keen, strategic and logical mind.<\/span> For women, Venus shows what traits you want to be appreciated for in relationships. If women are your dating preference, your Venus sign gives clues about the type of lady who could win your heart (or at least your lust).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the moon governs our emotional security, Venus is more about the wining and dining. People born with Venus in sensitive Pisces could swoon for poetic words, candlelight dinners and custom curated playlists. Someone with Venus in structured Capricorn would be far more practical, preferring a provider type who brings home the bacon and loads up the household savings account with cash.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venus in Taurus people may prefer practical luxury, saving up for pricey, yet well made, items from classic brands. They may be slower, but steadier, in their seduction approach, preferring to let relationships build organically. Affection and physical touch will be important here. Those born with Venus in chatty Gemini, on the other hand, can burn through paychecks chasing the latest trends. Variety is their favorite spice; dating apps were designed just for them!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re hosting a party or decorating your home, look to Venus for cues. The food, music and colors we prefer can all fall under this planet’s domain. Like meticulous Mercury, Venus also governs the ways we socialize and how we share our possessions. But while Mercury never minds a debate, pleasant and peace-seeking Venus wants harmony. Can’t we all just get along? Venus says: yes, please!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does your Venus sign say about you?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the astrological aesthete, Venus directs your personal style, from your taste in clothes and decor to what you find visually appealing. Here\u2019s where you\u2019re creative, indulgent and romantic. You may have greater ease receiving gifts and support in the realms your Venus sign rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the zodiac\u2019s peacekeeping diplomat, Venus helps you negotiate compromises. Just beware the \u201cnice disease\u201d in the area of life your Venus placement rules. This conflict-averse planet can also make you a bit too quick to settle or accept peace at any price. You may need to strengthen your backbone a bit, so that you don\u2019t wind up saying \u201cmaybe,\u201d when you mean \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
