What your Venus sign means

In astrology, Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and value. Your Venus sign is where Venus was when you were born, and it colors how you give and receive affection. Your sun sign says who you are; your Venus sign says how you love.

Venus spends about four weeks in each sign and never strays more than two signs from the Sun. So your Venus sign is often your sun sign or one of its neighbours. When it differs, it explains a lot: a fiery Aries Sun with a gentle Pisces Venus loves very differently from what the sun sign alone would suggest.

Venus also shows what you find beautiful and what you value, from the clothes you reach for to the way you spend money and time. In a relationship, comparing two people's Venus and Mars signs is one of the first things astrologers do.

Venus sign questions

What is a Venus sign?

Your Venus sign is the zodiac sign Venus was in when you were born. It describes how you love, what attracts you, what you value, and your sense of beauty and pleasure.

Do I need my birth time to find my Venus sign?

Usually not. Venus stays in a sign for about four weeks, so the date is almost always enough. On the few days Venus changes signs, we show both options; adding your birth time and place settles it.

Is my Venus sign the same as my sun sign?

Often it's the same or one sign either side, because Venus never moves more than 48 degrees from the Sun. That is why many people have Venus in their sun sign or a neighbouring one.

Does my Venus sign show who I'm compatible with?

It shows what you're drawn to and what you need in love. For a real compatibility reading, compare both birth charts, which looks at Venus, Mars, the Moon, and much more.

What does Venus retrograde in a birth chart mean?

About 7% of people are born with Venus retrograde. It is often read as an inward, reflective approach to love and self-worth, with a tendency to revisit the past and value what lasts.
