Venus

In a birth chart, Venus represents how you love, appreciate and connect. It describes what attracts you, your relationship with beauty, pleasure and money, and the way you look for harmony with others.

Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, the one people call the morning or evening star, even though it’s a planet. It never moves more than about forty-seven degrees from the Sun, which keeps it in your Sun sign or at most two signs away. In a chart, it describes what you love and how you love it: the kind of person who moves you, what strikes you as beautiful, what gives you pleasure, what makes you want to give. It speaks of attraction, but also of friendship, taste, the way you pick a present. It is linked to money as value: what you think is worth paying for. The sign of your Venus colors your style in relationships; its house shows where you go looking for sweetness. Understanding your Venus helps you choose what does you good rather than what merely flatters you.
