Why your Venus sign can differ from your Sun sign
Venus never strays more than about 47° from the Sun, so it is always in your Sun sign or within two signs either side. If you were born near a sign change, your Venus sign may surprise you.

Venus in love and taste
In relationships Venus shows what attracts you and how you like to be cared for. Outside them, it colours your taste in art, clothes, places and people. Many astrologers read it alongside Mars, which shows how you go after what you want.
When Venus is retrograde
About every 18 months Venus appears to move backwards for roughly six weeks. If you were born then, the calculator marks it. It is often read as affection that turns inward or values reviewed more than once.
