Understanding Your Life's Purpose: Venus in Your Astrology Chart
Aug 07, 2025
♀ You've got Venus in your natal astrology chart and I wanna teach you how to use Venus to support the pursuit of your life's purpose.
Let's get to know Venus.
🤓 Venus rules Taurus ♉️ and Libra ♎️.
It spends anywhere from 23 days up to 2 months in each sign and takes 1 year to get around your entire chart by transit.
🍀 It is considered the lesser benefic planet, while Jupiter is considered the great benefic.
❤️🔥 Although, if you were born with your sun ☉ below the horizon (in houses 1-6), Venus is your most benefic planet.
🥰 What this means in everyday life is that Venus is bringing you MORE goodness than Jupiter.
When Venus is supporting you, it brings more assistance in the form of love, relationships, peace, comfort and money.
This happens when transiting Venus aspects one of your natal planets in a supportive and supported way.
With how fast it moves, this is happening for you all the time. When you learn to pay attention to its transits, you can use this energy intentionally to step more readily into your life's purpose work.
🙌🏼 The good news: Whether Venus is your most or least benefic planet, she's always working to support you!
♀Venus in your birth chart.
❤️🔥 Your natal Venus shows what you love, how you love + want to be shown love, what you love to spend your money on and how you can make money. Venus is your sense of style and what you find beautiful. It shows you where you need peace in your life and how to create it.
Venus also reveals you your sense of self-worth.
😔 If you're people-pleasing, over-giving and under-receiving, not setting healthy boundaries with your time + energy, and mistreating yourself, Venus will show you how to shift this, so that you top your list of values and what matters most.
🥸 Which sign + house your Venus is hanging out in, reveal what creates feelings of love and self-worth, so you can show up for yourself and your purpose in an empowered and self-full way, instead of martyring + depleting yourself to prove your worthiness to be liked + loved.
Look at your chart to learn which sign your Venus ♀ is in and then find it below:
♈️ Aries: Venus does not like to be in Aries. It's at its detriment. Venus wants love and peace. Mars want competition and war.
With your Venus in Aries, your self-worth is very much tied to taking action, your physical strength, your sense of self (ego) and competition with others.
You're very passionate and attract intense relationships that burn hot and can burn out just as fast as they started.
Because Venus is in its detriment, you LOVE to start new things, but struggle with following those things through to completion.
Use your love for starting things to create from pure passion (of which you've got A LOT) and then hand over your projects to others who have the endurance to see them through.
Don't make yourself wrong or tie your self-worth to your lack of follow-through; embrace this aspect of you!
♉️ Taurus: Venus likes being in Taurus. It's at home. Venus and Taurus want the same things and understand each other.
With your Venus in Taurus, your self-worth is tied to creating comfort + stability, being dependable + grounded, your creativity, your beauty and your connection to the earth.
To support your purpose, you need to create a space to unleash your creativity, which feels comfy, looks beautiful, is free of clutter and where you're surrounded by earthy things (crystals, natural fabrics + textures, plants, flowers, nature scenes, etc.).
Getting outside and grounding yourself (skin on the ground) will help you to center your sense of self-worth within, rather than seeking it from external sources.
♊️ Gemini: With your Venus in Gemini, you love all things witty, playful, flirtatious and sarcastic.
You love to be curious and use your curiosity to learn all the things, so you can tell + teach others, especially your loved-ones.
Your self-worth is tied to your intellect and your ability to communicate, be heard and understood by others.
Use your natural drive to learn to support you with your purpose, not as a means to hold yourself back because you fear you don't know enough.
Know that as you take each step down your purpose path, there will always be more to learn. Don't wait until you feel like you know enough to take action.
That's self-sabotage and it comes from feeling like you need to prove yourself, which you do not.
♋️ Cancer: With your Venus in Cancer, you love and derive your sense of self-worth from nurturing, feeding + advocating for others.
Be mindful not to base your self-worth on how others perceive or receive your loving gifts, but rather your brave + vulnerable willingness to share them.
To support yourself, focus your love, advocacy and nurturing first on yourself. Then focus on those who want and appreciate it, not those who aren't ready to receive that high level of loving support. It's wasted on them and detrimental to your self-esteem.
♌️ Leo: With your Venus in Leo, you love to give + receive attention. You have a huge and generous heart, so full of love for others. You love to shower others with compliments and you're loyal in relationships.
Be sure not to base your sense of self-worth on other's attention and admiration.
Instead derive your feelings of worthiness from how much fun, play and joy you create for yourself and bring into your everyday life.
♍️ Virgo: Venus hates to be in Virgo. Venus is creativity, while Virgo is logic. Venus acts from the heart, while Virgo moves from the mind.
With your Venus in Virgo, you love serving others, organizing, analyzing and perfecting things.
Be careful not to tie your self-worth to being perfect. Perfection is an unrealistic and moving target. There's no "there" to get to, because there's always room for improvement and perfection is cleverly disguised self-sabotage.
Instead focus your feelings of worth on your ability to be of loving service to yourself and others.
♎️ Libra: Venus likes being in Libra. It's at home. Venus and Libra get each other and want the same things.
With your Venus in Libra, you love balance, fairness and equality in partnership. You're artistic and love to make things beautiful and make beautiful things.
You run the risk of deriving your sense of self-worth from your relationships and partnerships, as well as societal standards for physical attractiveness.
This can bring people-pleasing tendencies to your relationships, so be mindful of this.
Instead focus your sense of self-worth on who you're being in all your interactions with others. Know that how others interact with you reflects their level of healing and consciousness, not yours.
♏️ Scorpio: Venus does not like to be in Scorpio. It's at its detriment. Venus brings creativity and beauty in a lighter, material way. Scorpio brings intensity and truth in a deeper, more psychological way.
With your Venus in Scorpio, you love all things considered taboo and you derive your creativity from places of great depth within you.
Your relationships have an intensity to them. You demand honesty and loyalty in partnership. You crave deep physical, emotional and psychological intimacy.
Your sense of self-worth comes from your ability to get to heart of a matter and find the ultimate TRUTH.
Don't let that hold you back from sharing what you learn along your purpose journey. There will always be new layers and levels of truth to unearth. Just keep sharing the deep and impactful wisdom you gain along the way.
♐️ Sagittarius: With your Venus in Sagittarius, you love freedom, adventure and integrity.
You love to expand your mind and perspective through life experiences and love to share your wisdom with other humans.
Freedom to explore and experience life increases your feelings of self-worth.
Limiting yourself, holding yourself back and locking yourself into narrow views + beliefs diminishes your sense of self-worth.
♑️ Capricorn: With your Venus in Capricorn, you love setting goals and reaching them.
Your sense of self-worth comes from feeling disciplined, responsible and hard working.
Be sure that you're using your grounded + practical ambition to build a life filled with purpose for yourself, rather than over-working yourself to build someone else's legacy and wealth.
♒️ Aquarius: With your Venus in Aquarius, you love humans and want to make this world a better place everyone.
Your self-worth is bolstered by being the most authentic, weird and inspiring version of you.
Hiding your true self to fit in with others is detrimental to your feelings of worthiness and will make it infinitely harder to align with your life's purpose, which is ultimately to be the fullest expression of you.
♓️ Pisces: Venus loves to be in Pisces. It's exalted here. Venus is all about love and Pisces is all about transcendence, unconditional love and compassion. They not only get each other, they make each other better.
With your Venus in Pisces, you love to spread compassion + unconditional love.
You feel deeply. You're empathetic and intuitive.
You derive feelings of worthiness from your spiritual practice. You need to create daily routines that support you in feeling spiritually nourished, satisfied and fulfilled.
Living in your mind and cutting yourself off from the spiritual aspect of yourself is detrimental to your worthiness.
Each day make time to...Connect with your intuition. Practice breath work. Meditate. Pray. Read something inspiring. Sing. Dance. Create something meaningful.
