venus ♀

the ancient greek goddess aphrodite and her roman equivalent, venus, represent the same positive areas of life: love, beauty, prosperity. bell hooks capital l love. the kind you need to ascend to your highest self.

as a concept, love is sadly often reduced to just romantic-love. your “love life” should not begin on, be centered around, or end with your romantic life. it’s everywhere? hello? love is a practice you bring in to daily life to honor 1) being alive and 2) venus. if you have a partner that you do romantic things with, i would hope there is plenty of love between the two of you. but if you don’t have this sort of person in your life right now, there is still love, beauty, and prosperity to be found all around you.

your venus sign should be a mix of all your receiving/giving love languages with a bit of your most smitten version of yourself sprinkled in. if your mars sign is angry-you, your venus sign is i-have-a-new-crush-and-it’s-going-great-you. this could be any kind of crush, you can crush on new hobbies and new clothes. whatever gets that serotonin going, babe. if you like it, i love it.
