Venus in Astrology

A Practical Introduction:

Venus in astrology rules love, attraction, aesthetics, pleasure, and the way we give and receive affection; it also governs values, self-worth, and money. In your natal chart, Venus’s sign shows your relational style and tastes, its house pinpoints where you seek harmony and ease, and its aspects reveal patterns in intimacy, compromise, and creative expression. Venus rules Taurus and Libra, so placements or transits affecting these signs strongly influence finances, beauty, partnerships, and social balance. Track Venus transits and retrogrades to time relationships, creative launches, style updates, and financial decisions with greater alignment.
