Venus in astrology
Venus is what you love and how you love it. It shows what draws you in, what you find beautiful, and what you want back from the people close to you.
What Venus means
Venus stands for attraction, pleasure, art, money and the give and take of relationships. Its sign shows what charms you and how you charm in return. A Venus in Aries falls fast and likes a chase. A Venus in Taurus wants comfort, touch and time.
She signifies a quiet man, not given to Law, Quarrel or Wrangling, not Vitious, Pleasant, Neat and Spruce.
Venus in your chart
Venus is never more than 47 degrees from the Sun, so your Venus sign is at most two signs away from your Sun sign. It spends about four weeks in a sign. Every 18 months or so it turns retrograde for about six weeks and can stay in one sign for four months.
The house shows where your values show up. Venus in the second house cares about what money can make lovely. Venus in the seventh puts a lot of weight on one person.
