In astrology, Venus is often described as the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and resources. It governs how we relate to others, what we find aesthetically pleasing, and the way we express affection and attraction. Whether it’s romantic love, creative expression, a person’s manners or the simple enjoyment of life’s finer things, Venus has a powerful influence on the softer, sweeter side of human experience.

Venus gets her name from the Roman goddess of love and beauty (Aphrodite in Greek mythology). She was known for her irresistible charm and magnetic allure, and that same essence is carried into astrology—Venus represents the choicest, graceful, and harmonious parts of life.

About every 18 months, Venus goes retrograde—a time to reflect on past relationships, reassess your values, or rekindle old flames. It’s not ideal for starting new romances or making major beauty changes, but it’s a powerful period for inner introspection and hence the growth.
