What your Venus sign says about your love language

You're more than just a Quality Time.

     OK, you’ve read about Venus in Capricorn, Venus in Aquarius and more recently, Venus in Pisces, and you’ve loved what you’ve read because the horoscopes are SOOO GOOD (thanks, I try) but those are all transits, bb. They describe Venus’s travels through the zodiac signs and how her month-long journeys affect the everyday love, relationship, creative and financial interests, expressions, and trends of the collective. Now, it’s time to get personal.  

     In astrology, the birth chart (sometimes called a natal chart) shows all the different planets and the different parts of y-o-u. Venus is the planet of all things love, beauty, harmony, relationships, and money. But unlike Venus transits, your natal Venus doesn’t change. Her sign describes SO MANY key parts of you, from your style of romance—how you flirt, fall in love and show affection—to what you value and find attractive in a partner/relationship. Your natal Venus also describes how you spend or save money, who you are in relationships from now until the end of time, and—you guessed it—your astrological Love Language. 

     And honestly, who doesn’t want to know their astrological Love Language??Before we get to that, though, let’s cover some basics.

     The concept of love languages, popularized by Dr. Gary Chapman, describes the different ways in which individuals express and interpret love. There are five primary love languages: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Understanding your own love language as well as that of your partner can enhance communication, deepen emotional connection, and strengthen relationships. So too can understanding the wants, needs, and desires of one another’s Venus sign.

(Also, it’s the combination of your Venus, Rising, & your Moon signs, as well as your 5th & 7th Houses, that tell you how, specifically, you love and what makes you feel secure in relationships. But your Venus sign is a great place to start!)
