Your Venus sign is determined by where the planet Venus was in the zodiac cycle at the exact moment of your birth. Since Venus typically spends three to eight weeks in each sign, it returns to your birth placement about once every two years, highlighting love, attraction, and how you connect with others.

The Benefits of Knowing Your Venus Placement

Understanding your Venus sign offers deeper insight into how you love, what you value in relationships, and what brings you emotional fulfillment. It can also help you better navigate compatibility, revealing what you and potential partners truly seek in love, guiding you toward the connections and compatibility that align with your needs.

While commonly associated with romantic love, your Venus sign is ultimately all about interpersonal connection of all sorts. With Venus’ indulgent nature, it is also a placement that can provide insight into what you find most beautiful — the art and material objects that speak directly to your soul.

How To Find Your Venus Sign

To find your Venus sign, you’ll need to use an astrological calculator that maps the position of the planets at the exact moment of your birth, such as our free birth chart tool. 

Once you know your Venus placement, consider getting deeper insight into its meaning in your life and the role it plays in relation to the rest of your chart. In particular, it may be helpful to speak with an astrology expert who understands planetary transits and how they influence your relationships and emotional patterns.

The Venus Sign Placements

While the exact effects of your Venus sign are affected by the rest of your chart, there are certain commonalities in how Venus makes itself known in each zodiac sign. Discover what this reveals about your approach to love, connection, and relationships!

Venus in Aries

Those with Venus in Aries are often drawn to relationships that feel fiery, bold, and intensely passionate. They tend to express affection physically and directly, bringing heat and energy into every connection. To outsiders, Aries Venus couples may seem argumentative or intense, but this charged dynamic is often how they express love and maintain that spark. As a cardinal sign, Aries knows what it wants and isn’t afraid to go after it.

Venus in Taurus

For those with Venus in Taurus, love is all about stability, loyalty, and lasting connection. In fact, Taurus’ planetary ruler is Venus, making this placement deeply romantic and love-focused. However, this sign’s fixed nature also makes it selective and occasionally stubborn. This can create a little friction or a strong desire for connection, paired with high standards that can slow the search for the “perfect” person. When Venus in Taurus learns to let go of idealized fantasies and embrace the beauty of real, grounded love, they find that shared values, consistency, and emotional security go much further than any fantasy ideas of perfection.

Venus in Gemini

Venus in Gemini is often an indicator of flexibility, curiosity, and even potentially flightiness in relationships. Mutable Gemini thrives on variety and exploration, both intellectually and romantically. They may be less likely to have a fixed “type” and can be open to unconventional relationship dynamics. They’re generous, playful, and communicative partners who bring creativity and spontaneity to their relationship.

Venus in Cancer

Those with Venus in Cancer are romantics, often longing for deep, soulmate connections and true love. They seek emotional safety, loyalty, and intimacy, often dreaming of love straight out of a storybook. As a cardinal water sign, they’re naturally inclined toward long-term commitment and nurturing relationships. While traditional associations like marriage, home, and family may influence their ideals, how this plays out depends on the rest of the birth chart. But generally, they almost always want something deep and lasting.

Venus in Leo

Venus in Leo can be a contradiction of sorts. As a fixed sign, Leo is deeply loyal. They want to give and receive love that feels connected, bold, and wholehearted. At the same time, the fiery element of this sign means that they get bored easily, and can need change and excitement in order to feel fulfilled. The ideal relationship for a Leo Venus is stable, committed, and adventurous. A Leo Venus needs to feel like the star of their partner’s life.

Venus in Virgo

People with Venus in Virgo are often eager for love. As a mutable earth sign, they can be highly adaptable in relationships — sometimes so much so that they may blur the lines between their identity and their partner’s. This is not always a bad thing. In fact, this is one of the places where the otherwise stubborn Virgo is willing to bend and make allowances. A Virgo Venus will also bring a deep loyalty to the relationship, as well as a willingness to grow together as a couple.

Venus in Libra

Venus in Libra is eager to please. Natural hosts, they’re thoughtful planners and can often be the first to make a romantic move. An air sign, ruled by Venus, Libra loves love and feels things very deeply, even if their affections are potentially spread out across multiple people or places. They can find real, true love just about anywhere, and they have a deep appreciation for all things beautiful, often expanding their own definition of beauty as they find more and more of it in the world.

Venus in Scorpio

Those with Venus in Scorpio can be intense, loyal, and deeply sensual. Radiating an intensity that’s impossible to ignore, their passion runs deep, and they give themselves fully — but only once. Break their trust, and it’s rarely offered again. While they can come on strong, their devotion is unwavering, and they’ll go to great lengths to meet a partner’s needs. For Venus in Scorpio, love isn’t casual. It’s all or nothing.

Venus in Sagittarius

For Venus in Sagittarius, much of life can feel like a love story. Drawn to romantic stories, songs, and art, they’re moved by love and often seek it out. They can be quick to fall, eager to believe in the best in others, and they often get swept up in the thrill of possibility. As a fire sign, they want to keep exploring and finding new highs, so they need a partner who can go on that adventure with them. They love deeply, but only when it feels expansive, authentic, and full of curiosity.

Venus in Capricorn

For Venus in Capricorn, love does not come quickly or easily. It’s carefully considered, making sure that a person will fit into their lifestyle and not hinder their ambitions. Once they’re committed, they’re deeply loyal and will do what it takes to make a relationship work. Underneath their composed exterior lies a surprisingly playful and sensual partner — but only once trust has been established and when communication is effective.

Venus in Aquarius

Venus in Aquarius marches to the beat of their own drum. An unusual blend of both the esoteric and the traditional, Aquarian Venus placements are drawn to stability and elements of traditional relationship dynamics, but with a twist. They may go for marriage and a house in the suburbs, but they add their own flair like a rainbow picket fence instead of a white one. Deeply independent and intellectually driven, they won’t settle for anything less than a partner who matches their creativity, ideals, and unconventional spirit.

Venus in Pisces

Those with Venus in Pisces are loyal and caring. It’s a placement that brings emotion, wisdom, and hope to a relationship. They will fight for their loved ones and for their relationship. They’re looking for a deep soul connection and will look for signs of that in any relationship that they enter. When met with openness, emotional maturity, and support for their dreams, they can form a long-term connection very quickly.
