Your Venus sign is the zodiac sign Venus was in when you were born. It describes how you love, what attracts you, what you value and what you need to feel loved in return. Enter your birth date below and the calculator works out your Venus sign to the degree; you will find it in the list of planets in your result, and your own reading is below it.
Venus usually spends three to five weeks in a sign, and longer when it is retrograde, so the date of birth is almost always enough. The time and place only matter if Venus changed sign on the day you were born.

How to read your Venus sign
Your Venus sign is not who you will fall for. It is how you love: the gestures that feel natural to you, the things you find beautiful, and the kind of care that makes you feel chosen. Comparing your Venus sign with a partner’s can explain a great deal about why one of you plans the date and the other just wants to stay in. In the tarot, Venus belongs to The Empress, love that nourishes.

Questions people ask
What is a Venus sign?
Your Venus sign is the zodiac sign Venus was in when you were born. Astrologers read it for how you love, what attracts you and what you value.
Do I need my birth time for my Venus sign?
Almost never. Venus stays in a sign for three to five weeks, and longer when retrograde, so the date is usually enough. The time only matters if Venus changed sign on your birthday.
Is my Venus sign the same as my love language?
Not exactly, but they overlap. Your Venus sign describes the kind of love that feels natural to you, which often shows up in how you like to give and receive affection.
How do I use Venus signs for compatibility?
Compare your Venus sign with your partner’s, and with their Moon and Mars. Signs of the same element tend to understand each other easily; very different signs can work beautifully when both of you know what the other needs.
