Venus represents relationships and values: what you find beautiful, what you seek in love and friendship, what draws you in. The sign it occupies describes an emotional style — direct and warm, discreet and loyal, or any other nuance depending on the sign.
Like Mercury, Venus always stays close to the Sun in the sky (at most ~48°) — it is therefore found in the same sign as the Sun or in one of the neighboring signs.
Domicile: Taurus and Libra. Exaltation: Pisces. Detriment: Scorpio and Aries. Fall: Virgo. Venus is a nocturnal planet — its sect strength is at its peak in a chart born by night.
Venus finds its joy in the 5th house (pleasure, creativity, budding love affairs).
