What Does Your Venus Sign Say About Love?

Alright, cosmic bestie, it’s time to talk about the topic on everyone’s mind these days – love! Maybe you’ve been curious about how astrology can help you with your love life, or with Valentine’s Day coming in soon, you have questions that need answering…

To start, look in your birth chart at Venus. Venus is the planet that shows how you love, how you attract, what makes you feel desired, and what you value in relationships. If it sounds familiar, that’s because Venus is also the Roman goddess of love, fertility, desire, beauty, and prosperity, and many people associate her with the Greek deity Aphrodite.

Let’s gain insight into your love life through your birth chart.
