The recipe to love: A look into each Venus sign

Venus is more than a Greek goddess and a planet in our galaxy; it’s the archetype for how we love in astrology, what we find beautiful, and how we want to be loved. Understanding astrology at a base level is crucial to understanding the complexities of your birth chart and how Venus transits between the 12 houses and signs. 

Astrology can be traced back to 2,400 years ago by the Babylonians with the development of the 12 signs everyone subscribes to. However, astrology is more profound than your sun sign — the sign under which you were born. 

Modern astrology follows Greek mythology and the planets to devise characteristics of what each planet represents under the sign. Venus is a planet that dictates love, beauty, sex, and fertility modeled after the Greek goddess of love. 

Venus transits in each of the signs’ houses for 23 days before moving on, dictating the overall tone of those 23 days for your life depending on which house and sign Venus falls in. 

If you want to know where Venus falls in your chart, look up your birth chart online by typing in your birthday, time of birth, and location of birth for the most accuracy. Once you know where your Venus lies, here is how each sign works alongside Venus. 

Aries Venus

Blunt. There is no better way to describe Aries Venus, who is intense, passionate, and direct with those that they find endearing. They’re not one to wait around because Aries Venus has to have you when they want you; otherwise, they will move on. 

They’re natural flirts and are charismatic individuals. Being alone has never been an issue for them because of how much they pull and keep their lovers wanting more. 

Taurus Venus 

Venus rules the sign of Taurus, so those who have a Taurus Venus are walking love spells, entrancing everyone with their beauty, romance, and sensuality. 

They are romantics from the moment they find out what romance is, spoiling their lovers in every way with luxurious gifts, food, memories, and euphoric feelings, if you know what I mean. They are pleasers first, humans second. If you break their heart, they will never forget you or move on. 

Gemini Venus

Communication and intellect are vital for any Gemini Venus in a relationship. They need to feel heard and need somebody on the same level of intelligence. 

A Gemini Venus won’t care if you’re done up to the nines, they care if you’ve read all of Michel Foucault’s library and then some. However, they do get bored quickly, so you have to communicate and meet their needs to keep them around constantly. 

Cancer Venus

Big-eyed and big-hearted, Cancer Venus individuals fall hard and fast, and dwell forever. They’re known for giving their lovers their all.

They are emotional lovers who cannot fathom losing you, only loving you no matter how you treat them. They value commitment and security in their life and they expect just that so if you fall for one, it’ll be hard to have them let you go. 

Leo Venus

Adoration is the game and Leo Venus is the name. A Leo Venus must be the center of attention in their lovers’ life. 

Constant validation and adoration are not only a suggestion but a requirement. They are magnetic forces and draw in people like a fly attracted to honey. 

Bright, passionate, and confident are a few words to describe Leo Venuses and they want to feel that way all the time. They will put their partners on a pedestal, but the partner cannot forget who is the monarch of the relationship — the Leo Venus. 

Virgo Venus

Analytical and calculated, Virgo Venus has one goal in mind and it is picking the most perfect person in the room and finding a way to fix them. A closed-off demeanor often leaves people questioning if they actually like you or not, but communicating and expressing emotions isn’t their strong suit. 

Libra Venus

Similar to Taurus Venuses, Libra Venus individuals are ruled by the planet and love to be loved. A Libra Venus thrives in relationships and often is looking for their mirroring self in their partner. They can be pretty particular, but their fine tooth combing will often result in them feeling as validated and loved as they feel they should be. 

Scorpio Venus

A strong magnetic pull allures lovers into the presence of the dark, sultry, and passionate Scorpio Venus. Intimate beings, they love privacy and keeping their partners and desires all to themselves. Their relationships from the beginning are a whirlwind, transformative, and can be kind of destructive. 

Sagittarius Venus

These fiery centaurs are fiends for freedom, excitement, and spontaneity in their relationships. While Sagittarius Venus likes to roam the streets freely, they are looking for their life partner who will be down to do anything with this sign to keep the passion alive. 

They don’t like feeling restricted, but they want to feel like they belong to somebody who does not suffocate them or hold them back. Sagittarius Venus individuals have an itch to constantly grow and explore their world. 

Capricorn Venus

The mind masters of the zodiac, these individuals will allure their partner by exhibiting self control, stability, and responsible behavior. They have an amazing front, it will be difficult to pick them apart because they are so rigid. However, a Capricorn Venus in love will reveal themself to be the softest and understanding individual, willing to do anything for their partner in private, but keep up a facade in public.

Aquarius Venus

There is nothing an Aquarius Venus craves more than having a deep mental and emotional connection with their partner. Aloof at times and extremely detached, it may be difficult to gauge whether or not an Aquarius Venus will want you or not. 

They’re not ones to verbally express their desires for you. They rather comment on your intelligence, personality, or vulnerability. 

Connection is vital for these air sign lovers, often seeking out romantic relationships with their friends since the bond is already there. Or they pursue their love interests as friends first because if there’s one thing this Venus sign loves, it’s a friends-to-lover trope. 

Pisces Venus

Rose-eyed and daydreaming into a new reality, Pisces Venus are some of the most entrancing and charming Venus signs. They love the idea of love, cooking up scenarios with their crush, and polluting themselves with delusions. They often fall in love with the idea of the person instead of the person themself. 

Pisces Venus are also thoughtful lovers, willing to go to the ends of the Earth for their lover with extravagance galore and dates that could remind you of a princess movie. They are lovers first and realists second, living in their rose-colored world.
