What is Venus?

In mythology, Venus is the goddess of love and beauty.

In astrology, the Venus sign is associated with love, attraction, affection & what humans want. It represents the drive to relate to others, the expression of loving feelings, and what brings one pleasure. It is also sometimes referred to as the ‘love sign’ because it reveals one’s approach to relationships, romance, and love.

The Venus sign in your chart is determined by which zodiac sign it falls under when you are born. It is possible that the Venus sign is the same as the sun sign, but a Venus sign will never be more than two signs away (in either direction) from the sun sign. For example, a Cancer’s Venus signs can only be of the following: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo.
