Your Venus Sign

Why you’re drawn to unavailable people and overpriced candles

Venus rules what you like, how you love, and what you find attractive—whether that’s a person, a vibe, a color palette, or a lifestyle you saw once in a Nancy Meyers movie and never forgot.

It’s your pleasure drive. The part of you that wants to feel good, be liked, and experience beauty—whatever that means to you. Venus isn’t about survival. It’s about enjoyment. Taste. Romance. Aesthetic. It’s what makes you swipe right. What makes you feel hot. What makes you spend $22 on lip balm and call it self-care.

Venus also shows how you show affection and how you want to be loved back. Not the deep, tearful love—that’s the Moon. Venus is the flirty part. The magnetic part. The part that wants to be admired and adored. Preferably in good lighting.

VENUS PLACEMENTS

The sign of your Venus shows your love language and attraction style. The house where Venus resides in your chart shows where you seek pleasure and connection.

Venus in Taurus? You like it slow, steady, and sensory. You flirt through food, touch, and remembering someone’s favorite snack (which you bought before they even mentioned it).

Venus in Leo? You want to feel special. Grand gestures, dramatic texts, compliments with eye contact—you’re not high-maintenance, you’re just…sparkly.

Venus in Aquarius? You’re drawn to originality. You like your lovers weird, your compliments unexpected, and your texting style detached but loyal.

Venus in the Seventh House? You shine in relationships. You feel most attractive when you’re partnered—or at least when someone’s crushing on you.

Venus in the Tenth? You’re hot when you’re working. Ambition is sexy. Public success is foreplay.

Venus isn’t just about love. It’s about preference. How you want your life to feel—and how you show up when you’re trying to impress someone…including yourself.

VENUS SHOWS UP WHEN YOU

  • Flirt with someone by giving them a very specific recommendation

  • Get irrationally turned off by a bad font or weird sock choice

  • Buy three versions of the same shirt because it’s “your color”

  • Feel the need to match the vibe of your outfit to the event

  • Get crushes on people’s voices, handwriting, or handwriting about voices

VENUS GOVERNS

  • Your taste, style, and aesthetic preferences

  • How you flirt, charm, and attract

  • What makes you feel desirable—or desirable adjacent

  • Your values in relationships (yes, even the unhinged ones)

  • How you give and receive affection

DO PEOPLE SEE YOUR VENUS? YES—AND THEY USUALLY LIKE IT.

Your Venus is part of your allure. It’s not always obvious, but it’s there—in your smile, your scent, your compliments, your eye-rolls. Venus energy tends to draw people in, even when you're not trying.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Venus is the part of you that wants life to feel good. If the Moon is what makes you feel wrecked at 3am when no one’s watching, Venus is the way you show up when you’re feeling cute.
