In astrology, each planet has a different responsibility: the sun, while not a planet, is also important in the birth chart and manages your ego and sense of yourself; the moon, on the other hand, rules your inner world and your emotions. Mercury rules communication (that’s why there are so many misunderstandings when it goes retrograde); and Mars represents impulse, including sexual impulses. But when it comes to love and butterflies in the stomach, Venus leads the way!
Considered a “beneficial” planet, the ancient Romans named Venus in honor of the goddess of love, beauty and money. Within your natal chart, this planet rules dating and worship, as well as personal taste and aesthetics. Venus represents your values, including your relationship to finances and material possessions. In short, this planet represents pleasure and luxury.
understand Venus
The more skeptical people might think that the functions of Venus seem too good to be true; after all, if this planet is so easily romantic, why is love so often messy and complicated? The truth is that Venus reveals our idealization of love and beauty. Although the wishes of this planet are attractive, they do not necessarily translate into reality or – perhaps more importantly – into what is truly important to our souls.
Since Venus refuses to take off her pink glasses, this planet has no prospect of distinguishing wants from needs. In short, Venus is an extremely hedonistic planet. So while Venusian energy can definitely help you redecorate a room or throw a party, at the end of the day it just doesn’t work logically or emotionally. Ultimately, Venus just wants to be worshiped.
How to deal with your Venusian energy
If Venus isn’t necessarily reliable, then why bother with this planet? The point is that Venus helps define our relationship with the good things in life. Indeed, the position of Venus in your birth chart is extremely significant. Therefore, it is important to know how to identify and interpret its meanings!
To do this, first identify which zodiac sign Venus occupies. This is an important first step, as the planet sign will reveal exactly how it wants to surrender. Venus in Cancer, for example, seeks safety in partnership, while Venus in Aquarius seeks less orthodox dynamics. Once you have identified the sign of Venus, take a look to see what connections (in astrology we call “aspects”) it is making with the other planets in your chart.
If Venus is connected to Mercury, for example, communication will play a significant role in your relationships. The connection of Venus with Mars, on the other hand, reveals the interplay between sex and love: do they work in harmony or do they serve entirely different purposes?
Venus’s attitude is also influenced by the astrological house it occupies. Her birth chart is divided into 12 segments, called “houses”, each of which represents a different area of life. For example, someone with Venus in Leo in the sixth house, which represents the daily routine, may always be looking for opportunities to introduce themselves and attract the attention of people in their workplace. Alternatively, an individual who has this planet in Gemini in their second home, which symbolizes personal finances, can achieve monetary success by pursuing multiple careers or undertaking many different businesses at the same time.
Your map exists for a reason, but it’s up to you to interpret your individual truth. Venus is an essential piece in your personal cosmic puzzle. This benevolent planet reminds us that, ultimately, we deserve love.
