Venus VENUS is the planet of love and pleasure. It rules over your capacity to express affection and to enjoy beauty. In addition, Venus lends your personality allure and desirability, and tells what kind of sex appeal you possess. By looking at the position of Venus in your birth chart, you can answer such questions as: What kind of lovers do you attract? Are you flirtatious? Do you find happiness in your love affairs, or are you often disappointed? Where do your creative talents lie? From early times, Venus in mythology has been a goddess whose dominion is love and the emotions. It was Venus who taught the arts of seduction to mortal men and women. Her power over the heart is legend; she "stole the wits even of the wise." She was extremely beautiful, and flowers grew wherever she walked. The goddess was also temperamental and self indulgent, and at times could be treacherous and spiteful. In astrology Venus rules over love affairs, art and beauty, adornment and decoration, the social graces, affection, harmony and friendship. The planet governs the higher emotions; its greatest gift is the gift of happiness. It can be said that Venus makes life beautiful.

In your horoscope, it is always either in your Sun sign or in one of the two signs immediately preceding or following your Sun sign. *A planet is "afflicted" when the negative side of its power is stressed.
