Definition
Venus in astrology represents your love style, your emotional needs and the way you seduce. Its position by sign in your natal chart reveals how you love, what you look for in a relationship and your natural love language.
Still confusing your Sun sign with your love style? Classic mistake. It's Venus that dictates your emotional needs, your way of seducing and your love language — not the Sun. This guide decodes Venus across the 12 signs, with interpretation, strengths, pitfalls and practical advice.
1) Venus in astrology: what does it represent in your chart?
Venus represents your relationship to pleasure, to love, to beauty and to connection. It describes:
