What Is Your Venus Sign?

Your Venus sign is the zodiac sign Venus was passing through at the moment you were born. Your Sun sign speaks to who you are; Venus speaks to how you love. It shows what catches your eye across a room, how you show someone you care, what you find beautiful, and what you value enough to hold onto. Venus spends roughly three to four weeks in each sign, so two people born in the same month can have different Venus signs.

Venus stays close to the Sun, so you see it just before sunrise or after sunset. If Venus rose ahead of the Sun on the day you were born, you have a morning star Venus: you tend to love first, make the first move, and learn by taking the risk. If it set after the Sun, you have an evening star Venus: you tend to love in response, letting affection arrive, weighing it, and learning by reflecting. About half of people have each, and the calculator shows yours and how many degrees separate Venus from the Sun.

Venus turns retrograde for about six weeks every nineteen months, so only around seven people in a hundred are born with it. If you are one of them, you tend to learn love from the inside out. Your values are truly your own rather than borrowed, and your heart may open later than your friends' did. Second looks keep coming back: the old flame who calls again, the reunion, the relationship you revisit with new eyes. It is a slower Venus, and a deeper one.

Your Venus sign shows how you love. Its house shows where love and pleasure turn up in your life, whether through friendship, work, home, travel, creativity, partnership, or another area. The house is calculated from your birth time and birthplace, so it needs an accurate time. If you don't know yours, the calculator still gives you your Venus sign, its star phase, and its aspects, and simply leaves the house unnamed.

Your Sun sign is your core identity, the self you are growing into. Your Venus sign is your relational self: how you attract, how you attach, and what you appreciate. The two often fall in different signs. That is how someone can be a fiery Aries by Sun yet turn slow and sensual like Taurus once they fall for someone. When both share a sign, love and identity move together. When they differ, your Venus sign explains the side of you that only appears in relationship.
