your venus placement + love
February carries the soft yet powerful invitation of Venus energy, the energy of love, beauty, pleasure, self-worth, money, and boundaries. While Venus is often associated with romance, her influence runs much deeper. It reflects what we value, how we love, and what we believe we deserve.
In astrology, Venus influences:
How we give and receive love
Our romantic preferences and attachment patterns
Our relationship with beauty, pleasure, and abundance
Our sense of worth, emotionally and materially
The boundaries we hold, or struggle to hold, in relationships
When we understand our Venus placement, we gain insight into our relational patterns and emotional needs. When we understand a partner’s Venus placement, compassion grows, and relationships often feel more easeful, attuned, and supportive.
Working consciously with your Venus placement can enhance your love life, deepen your relationships, and create greater harmony within yourself. Venus teaches us that love isn’t just something we seek outside of ourselves, it’s something we cultivate through self-honor, awareness, and choice.
