Venus is associated astrologically with attraction, affection, relationships, values, pleasure, harmony, beauty, and aesthetic preference. It is commonly grouped as a Personal Planet. Astronomically, Venus is an Inner Planet and an Inferior Planet, meaning that its orbit lies closer to the Sun than Earth’s. Within a Natal Chart, Venus may help describe how a person relates, what they value, and the styles through which appreciation or attraction may be expressed. Its fuller meaning depends on its Sign, Aspects, and, when an exact birth time is available, House placement within Your Zodiacal Configuration.
