Find Your Venus Sign
This calculator uses an astronomical approximation for Venus longitude. For formal natal chart work, astrologers typically use full ephemeris data and birthplace coordinates.
What Is a Venus Sign?
Your Venus sign describes how you give and receive affection, what you value in love, and the aesthetic style that naturally attracts you. In astrology, Venus is associated with romance, beauty, pleasure, social harmony, and personal taste.
While your Sun sign describes your core identity, Venus often reveals your relationship style: your love language, what feels comforting, and the energy you bring to dating and partnership.

FAQs
Is Venus sign the same as Sun sign?
No. Your Sun sign is based on the Sun’s position on your birth date. Your Venus sign depends on Venus’s position and can be different from your Sun sign.
What does retrograde mean here?
Retrograde means Venus appears to move backward in zodiac longitude from Earth’s perspective. In astrology, this is often interpreted as a reflective or inward style in love and values.
Can I use this for compatibility?
Yes, as a starting point. Venus sign compatibility can offer useful insight, but full relationship astrology usually compares complete birth charts.
