Venus, the most benign planet is in charge of everything we humans have a burning desire for. Love, money, luxury, pleasures, and everything that is pleasant and beautiful.
The planet of love, marriage, money, kindness, and all the sweet and finer things of life
Venus’s main domains: Love, relationship, partnerships, wife marriage, harmony, attachment style, food, fashion, art, diplomacy, being kind and gentle, being diplomatic, fair, beauty, everything that is beautiful, sweet, everything that is enjoyable, pleasures, values, money, round shapes, contracts, agreements, justice, lawyer, fashion designer, artist, diplomats, negotiator, counseling, counselor, femininity, what kind of bond the native forms, ways of express love and joy and to attract love and joy and self-worth.
Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra. So how is it able to rule two entirely different signs?
In Taurus, it is all about money, spending money, earthy pleasures, food, wine, nature, sweets, taste, beauty, beautifying things, nice clothes, sensual pleasures, everything that pleases the five senses, perfumes, soft materials, and taking care of the appearance. As well as finances, cash, and cash flow, it shows what the native spends on, splurges, values, and food. In other words, Venus is our foundation, as our materials, and possessions are our foundations in life. Also, Venus is in charge of taking care of all these materials- or with an afflicted Venus not taking care of them...
In Libra Venus shows its different side. It is more about bringing balance into relationships, diplomacy, agreements, signing contracts, making harmonious relationships, making harmonious and pleasant everything it touches, making the right choices when it comes to romantic partnerships, and compromising. And of course, it rules LOVE and it is the significator of marriage.
It rules everything we tend to idol worship; we think those things are the sources of our happiness, such as money, relationships, and luxurious and beautiful materials. So we,
Happiness, feeling fulfilled, and having meaning in your life aren’t under the domain of Venus, mind you!! Those are Jupiter’s domains, and Venus is the enemy of Jupiter. Here you can read more about why Venus is the enemy of Jupiter.
Wherever Venus is located in the natal chart, it beautifies the body part that the house and Zodiac Sign are in charge of. Unless other planets such as Saturn or Mars afflict it. For example, in the sign of Aries, it makes the head beautiful; in Cancer, the breasts, in the 2nd house makes the voice melodious, in the 3rd makes the hands beautiful, etc.
In each of the 12 Zodiac Signs, the planet of love shows affection, attracts love and joy, gives different values, and appreciates pleasures in different ways.

Interesting facts about the planet of love
Every planet orbits around the Sun and has a rotation around its axis counterclockwise, just like the Earth.
Except for Venus, the planet of love. It rotates clockwise, which is very confusing as love is confusing itself… And it is a planet of gas and is covered by clouds. It’s very difficult to see through and see the planet with a telescope. Just like love, very difficult to see clearly when one is deeply in love...
Venus represents everything we have the desire to receive for the self alone, i.e., all of the beautiful materials, luxuries, affections, etc. Sounds selfish? Have you ever wondered why so many people seek love selfishly only with the desire to receive it? Now you know the answer.
Again, it rules all selfish desires. It doesn’t want to share, donate, or help. Not at all. These are Jupiter’s domains. Don’t make me wrong, we all need those Venus domains in our lives, such as love, harmonious relationships/partnerships, good finances, etc. Our attitude, and approach towards them are what really matters.
Venus Retrograde
It goes retrograde every 1,5 years. The retrograde periods are somewhat testing times for relationships and finances. Especially if Venus has a hit on a personal planet or angle in the natal chart.
When it is retrograde, it’s’ not recommended to buy clothes, luxurious items, or anything under the domain of Venus. Most importantly, try to avoid jumping headfirst into a new romantic relationship.
Day vs Night charts | Sects
Venus is stronger in the night chart, while less benign in the day chart.
Night chart means the Sun is below the horizon, the Ascendant-Descendant axis. Basically, Sun is located between the 1st and 6th house.
While in the night chart, the Sun is above the horizon, above the Ascendant-Descendant axis. It is located between the 7th and 12th houses.
