♀ Venus

The 2nd Planet

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and is always within 2 signs of the Sun's sign. This gives it predictable elemental pairings derived from alchemy, similar to Mercury. Venus's distance from Earth can range from 24 million miles to 162 million miles, producing cyclical changes in the intensity of its effects.

The Venus Sign is associated with love, beauty, pleasure, and harmony. It represents the way individuals approach relationships, aesthetics, and their preferences in matters of the heart. Venus's position in an astrological chart is believed to influence a person's romantic inclinations, social interactions, and artistic sensibilities. It plays a role in shaping one's values, personal style, and the attractions they feel towards others. Venus is considered a key factor in understanding the emotional and relational dimensions of an individual's personality.
