What Venus stands for
Venus is the planet of attraction, harmony and what we value. On the map, its lines mark places where it is easier to connect and to enjoy things.
The four Venus lines
The Venus descendant line is read as a place for relationships and romance. The Venus ascendant line is read as charm, you come across as likeable. The Venus midheaven line is read as work in the arts or beauty, or a well-liked public image. The Venus imum coeli line is read as a pleasant home.
The other side
A strong Venus is also read as a pull toward comfort and ease, which can mean putting off harder things.
Checking yours
Look at where your Venus lines run relative to places you are curious about. Combine with your Jupiter line for the traditional pair.
