What is a Venus Sign?

When you take a look at your venus sign in your chart it is going to be anyone of five signs. Either the two before, the same, or the two after your sun sign- as it is always never more than 47 degrees away from your sun sign. Venus looks at the softer side of the heart, as well as material goods. That’s why it’s ruled by not only Taurus, but also Libra. Those signs deal in luxuries and fairness in relationships.

When I say softer side, I mean the non-physical. It’s the sweet words, the gifting, the dates. Mental love instead of physical. It’s the planet of the sweet times, and treating yourself. (It should be said that the opposite of this planet is Mars). Venus isn’t about conquering or searching. It’s about these finer things finding you. Realizing the gentle things in life, and how they appear in your life.

So without further ado, let’s dig in deeper, and see what the zodiac looks like through the lens of Venus.

The Signs

Aries

When you take the ram and put it into Venus you find someone who is very quick to fall in love, and very quick to act on it. They are the ones to say I love you first, they are the ones to take you on spontaneous dates or pick you up a gift just because they felt like it. However, they can be very selfish when it comes to this soft side of love- they think of it as more of a conquer rather than an equal partnership. Oftentimes forgetting they need to take their partner into account in their romances. They are also fairly fast to fall out of love, so it’s important to take a look at other elements of the chart to see any type of long-term stability. It’s just way too easy for an Aries to decide to leave on a whim.

Taurus

The bull is so happy in this placement. They know how to give that long term, soft stable love that people look for- and are more than happy to receive it. Now they are the type to want to receive rather than give. They want it all the presents, the small gifts, the luxury that Venus provides and they want to be showered in it by someone who cares about them. Taurus can be fairly stubborn when it comes to the compromises that need to happen when it comes to a relationship. They aren’t very willing to cede to an argument, and can be entirely selfish. The bull knows what they want and if you aren’t willing to give that to them, they will put their feet in the dirt refusing to move until they get what they want.

Gemini

The twins are the epitome of talking it out. They are great to talk with about any issues regarding a relationship, and they are very giving loves- because they have so much to give. They’re more than happy to talk to you about anything, take you anywhere, see the sights, smell the smells, enjoy in one another company. A Gemini has to fall in love through talking, sweet words, a good mental connection- is nothing on the physical side. Why would you want to spend the rest of your life with someone that you can’t talk to? However, Gemini as an Air sign can be so detached emotionally. While they love conversation- it’s not about their emotions. When emotions come in they feel out of place. There’s a great potential in this placement for searching elsewhere while still in a relationship.

Cancer

You might think Crabs are pinchy when it comes to love, but alas the only thing the want to pinch is your cheeks. They are very caring lovers, and care very deeply about the person they are in a relationship with. A Cancer’s place is home in their shell, and once they know you they are more than happy to share it with you. They like to connect with you emotionally. They want to ensure that you are happy, taken care of, that you aren’t upset. it almost seems like they can intuit the emotions of their partner and care to their needs. On the downside, they can very easily shut down, especially when you aren’t being open and honest with them. They can get manipulative, and start to lash out trying to get their place back to safety and the known.

Leo

For the Lion and the lion’s partners. Love is a very warm subject. It feels like they’re giving their best selves to you, and giving their best. They do like to be recognized for this- they want to be showered in praise for love you so deeply. They’re loyal to a fault, and all they want in return? Compliments. Their love language is words of affirmation, and they want to know they’re doing love right by you. They are completely passionate in their relationships, and very doting. Yet, the lion rules the jungle- and they are going to want to rule the relationship. What they say goes. If you have a problem with it you can move on. incredibly stubborn when it comes to their internal desires, and will burn you if you decide you want to go against the grain.

Virgo

Virgo like Gemini loves to collect on a mental level first. They are very practical when it comes to love often favoring acts of service when doting on the ones they care about. They cherish a partner who can do the same for them. Equal care goes a long way for these earth signs. They may not always actually speak about their feelings, and use terms of endearment, but they do care- they just like to show it through much smaller means. They also aren’t the type to look elsewhere. Often focusing on long-term relationships that can bring them stability. On the flip side of their love is the downsides. Virgo Venus’ can be incredibly judgemental, of everyone, and especially someone that they bring into their life. This discernment and analytical nature can push partners away, and feel put out.

Libra

This is Libra’s natural element, they are the sign of equality. They live for relationships, and take care of their partners to the utmost degree. Showering them in every possible way. Words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, gift giving, and quality time. The scales look for balance in every way in a relationship- and with the right partner this quality of the Venusian native can be very prosperous. Though, when it comes to Libra, they can be just as detached as their fellow air signs. if their partner isn’t meeting their needs and giving them equality- they will leave. They may be prone to compromises in arguments- but not when it comes to their own happiness. Libra’s also tend to be in and out of relationships fast. They prefer to be in a relationship rather than out of one.

Scorpio

Scorpio’s while deeply emotional, aren’t ones to easily share those emotions with others. however, having this sign in Venus is a deeply magnetic feeling. They are incredibly passionate and caring about their partners. Wanting for a relationship that grows mentally and physically with the person they care about. They want to be understood, and they love to be understood by someone they can trust. This being said, their emotions run deep, and powerful. This includes a deep jealous and possessiveness that they can get over their partners, and a want for control. This chases people away especially when it becomes too much. Yet, with a Scorpio venus they don’t really care you’re either theirs in the way they want you, or you’re not. There are no in-betweens for this placement.

Sagittarius

When it comes to the Archer, they are very fun to have in a relationship- they are the ones who want to grow with you mentally through experiences. They want to see the world with you, they want to have deep meaningful conversations. Sagittarius is happy to take on the world with their partner and see everything with them. They are deeply passionate about sharing your lives together, and are incredibly optimistic in relationships and love. When it comes to keeping their relationships though- they don’t care. In fact you might not even be in a relationship with them anymore. They are incredibly independent, and don’t like to get tied down. This fire sign also doesn’t really have the best communication styles either. Their passion burns too bright for them to be contained, or to chop words. Oftentimes forgetting they need to actually have day-to-day conversations.

Capricorn

Capricorn is possibly one of the most dependable signs when it comes to Venus. They don’t date or enter into a relationship for fun. A Capricorn only engages in a relationship when they feel as though it’s a person they will spend the rest of their lives with. Their need for a dependable partner charges them, they want someone to count on- just like how their partner can count on them. The goat greatly appreciates when they can see their partner trying to strive for success- just like they do. Their lack of passion on the other hand- is kinda what kills it for a lot of people. Stability is good, and all, but when you’re with someone who can’t express their emotions freely- it doesn’t make for a super fun time. It’s nothing against Cap as a whole, but this is usually a very reserved placement.

Aquarius

An Aquarius flourishes off of mental relationships just like Gemini and Virgo. Oftentimes finding their partners in a well established friendship first. They prioritize personal freedoms in their relationships, oftentimes making sure their partner is achieving the best self they can be. Allowing them to take center stage- and achieve what they wish. They don’t have a stable and secure way of showing their love it often coming in quirky and fun little ways to show their appreciation. Yet, they are also very much like Gemini in that they become detached very easily. As they value personal freedoms, they also value their own. Often leaving relationships if they feel too controlled or tied down.

Pisces

Finally the fishes. They are so empathetic and such giving lovers. A Pisces idealizes love, and will do anything for it. Often getting lost in their idealized visions of the future with their loved ones. They are incredibly emotional, and are happy to talk about those feelings with you, they want to know everything on your mind. Pisces is so caring and involved within their relationships. The downsides to their love though, is that they are too idealistic. Often getting lost in their own personal daydreams of who their partner should be. Not who they actually are. This can cause our little fish to swim away to look in other watering holes so to speak, unless they are woken up to the reality that not all love is perfect.

Wrap-Up- Venus Signs for Beginners: Lesson Five
