Your Venus Sign: Your Heart's Signature
Your birth chart is a physical imprint of your soul’s infinite destiny, expressed during this lifetime.
When we talk about your Venus sign, we’re talking about where the planet Venus was in the sky at the time of your birth.
Venus, the second planet in our solar system, is tied to notions of love, beauty, relationships, romance, based on the Western mythology of the Roman goddess, Venus.
Understanding Venus in your chart can help you decode:
how you operate in relationships
your attachment style
what inspires you on an emotional level
the kinds of relationships you gravitate towards
what motivates you in partnership(s)
your friendship style
what turns you off emotionally
how you function in social situations
the best ways to meet a partner or strengthen an existing relationship
Venusian energy by nature is ebullient and seductive. Venus tells us how we seduce others, and how we like to be seduced in return. But to be clear, we’re not talking strictly about sex or our sexual relationships with others - Venus’ seduction influences our platonic relationships, professional relationships, and the connections we make throughout our daily life, even with strangers.
Each Venus sign has its own flavor, its own spiritual signature written upon our souls. For instance, Venus in tender, watery Cancer can operate much differently than Venus in airy, intellectually-inclined and free-spirited Gemini.
The house where Venus lives in our chart can tell us which areas of life our Venusian energy comes into play more significantly.
Aspects between Venus and other planets in our chart can also tell us more specifically how our Venusian energy works with other aspects of our personality - harmonious aspects like the trine and sextile can indicate easier, more instinctual psychological and emotional acceptance of Venus’ energy in our life, whereas more discordant aspects like the square and opposition can make it more difficult for us to access Venusian energy when and where we need it.
Please note: I advocate for radical collaboration between the signs. Read more about what this means here.
