Venus in astrology: the planet of love and attraction
In astrology, Venusgoverns love, beauty, attraction, and values. Your Venus sign reveals not just who you're attracted to, but how you express love and what makes you feel truly loved in return.
Venus sign vs. Sun sign
Your Sun sign shows your core identity. Your Venus sign shows your romantic identity. A Capricorn Sun with Venus in Pisces will be disciplined at work but deeply romantic and idealistic in love. This is why Sun-sign compatibility often misses the mark — Venus compatibility is far more revealing.
Venus position depends on your birth date
Venus is always within two signs of the Sun, changing signs roughly every 25 days. Two people born a week apart can have Venus in completely different signs — and therefore completely different love styles. For a precise calculation, enter your birth data in our natal chart calculator.
Venus and money
The same Venus that governs your love life also shapes your relationship with money and material values. For the financial dimension of Venus, see our Venus & Money page.
