Venus in the Zodiac Signs

Venus in a man's chart is his feminine ideal. In a woman's chart, this is how you embody your femininity. If you don't yet know your Venus sign, look for the symbol on the birth chart. The Zodiac sign and House position of Venus holds insights into your first love -- life itself. It also shows what kinds of people you're drawn to in romance and friendship. Venus in your chart tells the story of love, beauty, and your own natural creativity.
