Venus describes what you find beautiful, how you draw close to others and what makes a relationship feel good to you.

## What it represents

In astrological interpretation, Venus is the planet of attraction and personal values. It describes how you approach the people you like, the kind of beauty that catches your eye and the small things that make a day feel good. It is not only about romance: Venus also speaks about friendship, taste, your relationship with pleasure and what you consider precious. In the birth chart, the sign Venus occupies colors this way of loving and appreciating, while the house shows the area of life where it tends to express itself most.

## In practice

- The gestures you use to show affection, and the ones that feel like real affection to you

- What attracts you in a person, a place or an object

- How you look for balance when friction appears

- Your relationship with pleasure, comfort and beautiful things
