Meaning
Venus is the planet of pleasure, love, and values. It embodies the energy that animates the realms of romantic relationships, beauty, aesthetics, sensuality, and harmony. Just as the Sun represents the active masculine principle, Venus embodies its passive feminine counterpart, embodying love and desires.
In a natal chart, it indicates how an individual perceives love, beauty, and harmony. It also reveals their prioritized values and what brings them pleasure. Therefore, Venus signifies both the way one loves and is loved.
With cycles of 23 to 29 months, Venus plays a key role in synastry, conjunctions, and aspects with other celestial bodies. When it interacts well (conjunction) or poorly (opposition), this reveals the relational dynamics of an individual.
