Venus, often called the Planet of Love, is a feminine sign and rules both Taurus and Libra, as well as the Second and Seventh Houses. Venus represents love, sensuality, romance, beauty, culture, affection and one's social appeal. Venus is about how we feel when we are interacting socially with others -- romantically, professionally or even platonically. Its placement in our chart provides insight into what we are attracted to and what is attracted to us. Your Venus sign defines what you love and how you love it and is therefore referred to as your Love Sign. Venus (in conjunction with the Moon) governs our emotional life and unions of all kinds. Imagine Venus as a warm buzz -- it does, after all, rule your sensory organs and all the spots that feel good emotionally and sensually.
Venus, when placed in the sign of Taurus, denotes a romantic, affectionate lover and friend. Rich beauty and sensuality are attributed to this placement and your emotions are stable and dependable. A lover with Venus in Taurus is likely to be enraptured forever and will be more responsive and devoted as the commitments get heavier. You often have a penchant for the finer, more luxurious things in life. You may spend a lot of energy on obtaining possessions and material objects for emotional security. Often there is a talent or appreciation for creativity and culture of any realm. Opera, fine food, wine, performance, art, and music will be enjoyed immensely. You are blessed with the capacity to savor each moment to the fullest extent, and instinctively seek out the beauty in your surroundings. However, you may want to watch out for a possessive streak! You will be happiest in a relationship that provides you with a real sense of belonging and stability.
