Venus in your chart
Venus is the planet of attraction. Its sign describes your romantic style (slow and loyal in Taurus, playful and verbal in Gemini, devoted and intense in Scorpio) and your taste in everything from clothes to friends. Its house shows the area of life where you find the most pleasure.
For compatibility, astrologers compare one person’s Venus with the other’s Mars (desire) and Moon (emotional needs). Try it with two full charts on the synastry calculator.
