Venus Sign Meaning: How You Love, in All 12 Signs
Your Venus sign is the zodiac sign Venus was in when you were born. It describes how you give and receive love, what you find attractive and what you value. Where your Sun sign shows who you are, your Venus sign shows your love style: how you flirt, what makes you feel appreciated and what you need from a partner.
Venus moves more slowly than the Moon but faster than most planets, so it is often in a different sign from your Sun. It is never more than two signs away from the Sun, which is why your Venus sign is usually your Sun sign or one of its neighbours.

Adventurous, honest and free-spirited. You fall for shared adventures and big conversations. You need a partner who gives you room to grow.
♑︎Venus in Capricorn
Serious, loyal and long-term. You show love through commitment and building something together. Respect and reliability attract you more than fleeting sparks.

Independent, open-minded and friendship-first. You love partners who accept you as you are. Space, shared ideas and freedom keep the connection alive.

Tender, romantic and compassionate. You love with imagination and empathy and can idealise partners. Gentle boundaries help you receive as much as you give.
Venus sign vs. Mars sign
Venus describes how you attract and what you value; Mars describes how you pursue and assert desire. Reading both together gives a much fuller picture of your romantic style, which is why a love reading looks at Venus, Mars, the Moon and the 7th house together.
Venus and your houses
The house your Venus sits in shows where you find pleasure and harmony most easily. Venus in the 7th house often puts relationships at the centre of life, Venus in the 5th brings romance and creativity, and Venus in the 10th can bring charm and people skills into your career. Houses need an accurate birth time.
