Your Love Language, your values, what fills your cup in life. All of these aspects, even the kinds of partners you seek out can be tied back to your Venus sign.
Venus is the planet of love and the Sun is the planet of expression. Your Venus sign supports the Sun on its journey. When she has her needs met - this looks like defining your values in life, understanding what fills your cup and the kinds of people you create bonds with. When you have an awareness of your Venus sign's needs and better yet - fulfil them, your Sun’s expression is more focused as you are armed with a better understanding of what you want and who you want to be around.
As the seeker of love and harmony, our Venus sign gives us insight into our values and desires. She also governs what kinds of partners we attract and our love language. Venus in each sign takes on a different flavour each time, offering a unique perspective on what brings us joy, catches our eye and fills our cup.
When we look to Venus we ask - what values rank highest for me? What or how do I seek out pleasure?
