Venus: Love, Beauty and What We Value
The planet of love asks a quiet question: what do you truly treasure?
Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure and values. Its sign describes how we give and receive affection, what we find beautiful and what we hold dear.
What we value
Venus is about more than romance. It shapes our taste, our friendships, our relationship with money and comfort, and the quality of joy we bring to life. Knowing your Venus helps you recognise what genuinely delights you, rather than what you think should.
Retrograde seasons
About every eighteen months Venus turns retrograde for around six weeks. These are gentle seasons for reconsidering what, and whom, we truly value.
Friday
Friday belongs to Venus: a lovely day for connection, beauty and small pleasures.
A practice
Write down three things that made you feel quietly happy this week. Look at what they share. That thread is a clue to what you most value, and to how you might bring more of it into your days.
