Venus sign calculator
Your Venus sign is the sign Venus stood in when you were born: how you love, what you find beautiful and what wins you over. Enter your birth details to see it, with every planet beside it.
How your Venus sign is found
Venus spends about four weeks in a sign, and up to four months when it turns back. Your birth date nearly always settles your Venus sign.
Venus never strays far from the Sun: it stands in your Sun’s sign or within two signs of it. On a day Venus changed sign, the time of birth decides, and your chart, cast to the minute, says when that is so.
If you do not know your birth time
You can still find your Venus sign. The date alone is enough unless Venus changed sign on your birthday, and then the chart says so and shows both signs.
What each Venus sign loves
Venus is the part of you that loves and enjoys: your taste, your affection and how you like to be treated. Here is each of the twelve in a few words, and a page for each that goes further.
Fire
Venus in Aries
Nobody has ever had to guess whether you liked them. Venus in Aries loves at first sight, courts like a chase, and has to learn what to do with the quiet after the yes.
Earth
Venus in Taurus
In its own sign, Venus loves through touch and staying power. You read people by their hands and their voices, choose slowly, keep what you choose, and count quietly when you are jealous.
Air
Venus in Gemini
Words are how you fall and how you stay. With Venus in Gemini, a mind catches you first, wit is the surest way in, and silence is the only real danger.
Water
Venus in Cancer
A love that looks after: the late dinner kept warm, the saved messages, the box of old tickets. Venus in Cancer is tender and fiercely loyal, and slow to say it has been hurt.
Fire
Venus in Leo
Venus in Leo wants love in daylight: the grand gesture, the remembered anniversary, a partner proud to be seen with you. What it hides is how much the forgetting hurts.
Earth
Venus in Virgo
Competence and quiet kindness win your heart, and grand gestures leave you cold. Venus in Virgo loves in errands and details, and finds it hardest to be loved just as it is.
Air
Venus in Libra
You love courtship, handwritten notes and a romance the whole world can see. Libra is Venus’s house by day, where it makes partnership an art and keeps the peace at almost any price.
Water
Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio wants the truth about a person more than their charm. It chooses slowly and privately, tests before it trusts, and once it has chosen someone, it does not let go.
Fire
Venus in Sagittarius
The two kindest planets share a roof when Venus is in Sagittarius. You love openly and hopefully, need a partner who travels well, and bore easily in the middle.
Earth
Venus in Capricorn
Saturn’s sign makes Venus patient. You watch before you trust, keep promises to the minute, and grow warmer with every year a partner stays beside you.
Air
Venus in Aquarius
Your best loves began as friendships. Venus in Aquarius loves clearly rather than warmly, keeps its own rules for romance, and stays loyal for decades.
Water
Venus in Pisces
Venus is exalted in Pisces: love at its highest. You love the person someone could become, forgive easily, and give a devotion that asks nothing back, sometimes to the wrong people.
Questions
What does my Venus sign mean?
It is how you love and what you enjoy: the gestures that win you over, the things you find beautiful, and what you need from someone to feel cherished.
Can my Venus sign be different from my Sun sign?
Yes, and it often is. Venus is always within two signs of the Sun, so it is in your Sun’s sign or one of the four around it.
Do I need my birth time to find my Venus sign?
Usually not. The date and the place are enough unless Venus changed sign on your birthday.
What if Venus was retrograde when I was born?
Venus turns back for about six weeks every nineteen months, so about one birth in fourteen has it retrograde. Your chart marks it if yours was.
