Venus - The Planet of Love

In Astrology, Venus is known for ruling the zodiac signs, Taurus and Libra.

• The greatest manifestation of Venus is shown on an emotional level, being a planet of senses, like touch, taste, and smell, it can help you discover what you truly love in your life, and what actually brings you pleasure and happiness.

• Also known as the Goddess of Love, in Astrology, Venus represents two main areas of our life: love and money.

• The planet controls one’s ability to love and feel with ease and flexibility and also influences one’s ability to value his/her own personality, in order to make a successful and prosperous future for oneself.

• Earlier, astrologers would also interpret the position and influence of Venus in a person’s birth chart depending on the native’s gender. The reason for treating Venus in a man’s and woman’s chart differently was believed to be based on the idea that men may tend to ‘disown’ and ‘negate’ the traits that are governed by Venus. This does not mean that men do not share these characteristics, however, in some cases, these men tend to project these traits onto a significant woman in his life.

• Venus rules how and why one forms attachments to others. A major aspect of this includes attractiveness, i.e the ability to attract and how one gets attracted to other people (and things). Apart from ruling romance, leisure, sensuality and comfort in one’s life, the planet Venus also emanates harmonious and positive energy.
