Venus Signs
The Venus sign is determined by calculating which constellation Venus was in front of at the time of a person's birth. Sometimes a persons Venus Sign will be the same as their Sun Sign, or different, as is the case with any planetary sign. Your Venus sign, sometimes called a Love Sign, is never more than two signs away from your Sun Sign. Thi is because Venus and Earth's orbits around the Sun are very close together. By reading your Love Sign interpretation you may find answers to why you act so differently than your Sun Sign dictates when you are in love. You'll notice when you fall in love that these attributes become more noticeable.
Knowing the Venus Signs of the people with whom you are involved can give insights as to how you can properly treat the relationships, so that you will know what the person values. [ Of course, you can always ask ;) ] Before you seek to understand others, however, you must understand yourself.
Each of the four elements found in the Zodiac will also influence your Venus Sign. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are all Fire Signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are Earth Signs, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are Air Signs and Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are Water Signs. Each Sign in an Element takes a different angle on the general ways we interact with others.
- For example, Fire Signs all seem to have a dramatic flair, tend to initiate things, and are demonstrative.
- Earth Signs, on the other hand, seem to be more possessive, focused and steady.
- Air Signs tend to be intellectual, poetic and versatile,
- Water Signs tend to be sensitive, sentimental and idealistic.
You may think that all the characteristics for your Venus love Sign do not fit you. Perhaps that is true: remember, each of your Signs is tempered by the others. If you really look at yourself and how you behave, you are sure to find at least some of the characteristics for your Venus Sign that describes you to a tee and hopefully youll understand why you do the things you do in the name of love.
