This Is Your Inner Goddess, Based On Your Venus Sign

Each Venus sign holds power, and knowing what sign is in this placement can allow us to feel more confident and aware of who we are, as well as help us attract better connections. The Venus sign represents the way we love and want to be loved.

Venus is all about self-love, romantic love, friendship love, and all the beauty and lightness that we attract and project. Knowing your Venus sign can help you understand what you want the most in a relationship, the reasons why you struggle to move on, and overall, the power you hold in love.

With all that being said, knowing what goddess is in your Venus sign can help you harness this power even more:

Aries

Nike

Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression, war, and passion. They are the Huntress archetype: the one who is courageous, independent, and fierce. Their inner goddess is Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, and they are all about confidence and strength. Someone with a Venus in Aries will fight for love. They know what and who they want and will do anything to get it.

Taurus

Aphrodite

Taurus is known to be a lover of pleasure, luxury, and sensuality, thanks to its planetary ruler Venus. If you have a Venus in Taurus, you feel this power deeper than others. In other words, you emanate Venus energy without much effort, it just comes naturally to you–much like Aphrodite. As the Lover archetype too, you have the ability to make anyone fall in love with you because of how soft and warm your energy is.

Gemini

Iris

Geminis are ruled by the planet Mercury and the goddess Iris, rulers of communication and expression. They connect with the Maiden archetype, with their youthful spirit and natural curiosity for life. Someone with a Venus in Gemini has a natural talent for and confidence in connecting with others. They can be incredibly witty, flirty, and seductive.

Cancer

Demeter

Cancers fit the Mother archetype, as the nurturing and warm people they are. They’re homebodies, which makes sense that their goddess is Demeter, the ruler of harvests and the home. Cancers are ruled by the Moon which governs our emotions, so having Venus in this sign is incredibly special. They’re caring, attentive to others’ needs and feelings, honest, and dedicated to love.

Leo

Cybele

Leos are governed by Cybele, the mother of the goddesses and the supreme sovereign, and fit the Queen archetype. They are also ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system, and if there’s one thing about Leos, it’s that they want to be the center of their partner’s world. This Venus placement is incredibly strong: these people are magnetic, irresistible, passionate, and want to be celebrated by their partners.

Virgo

Athena

Virgo’s goddess is Athena, the goddess of war, wisdom, and practicality. This earth sign is good at using its cunning and elegant manner to win a battle–and it’s often through her words. Venus is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and is known to be incredibly critical to themselves and those they care about because they want to help people better themselves. With Venus in Virgo, you are a bit more reserved in love but are still incredibly loyal.

Libra

Themis

Themis, the goddess of justice, holds power in the Venus in Libra placement. This air sign values balance and harmony in every aspect of their lives. They are also ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and fit the Lover archetype–and if there’s one thing about this Venus in Libra, it’s that they romanticize everything and everyone.

Scorpio

Persephone

Persephone was a goddess known for seduction, fertility, growth, and love–and also for being the wife of Hades, god of the underworld. Scorpios are a water sign known to be incredibly passionate, mysterious, and intense, and if you have a Venus in Scorpio, you are all of these things in love. You are powerful and defensive over the people you care for, which makes you a very passionate and caring (and sometimes possessive) lover.

Sagittarius

Artemis

Artemis was the goddess of hunting and the sister of Apollo — both of whom were known for being archers. Sagittarians are the archers and the Maiden (youthful and carefree) archetypes. With Venus in Sagittarius, you often feel as if you need to step out of your comfort zone in love. You want relationships to be passionate, exciting, and adventurous, but you also still want to maintain your independence.

Capricorn

Hecate

Capricorns are associated with Hecate, the goddess of protection, wisdom, and prosperity, and fit the Huntress archetype because they’re incredibly smart and headstrong. Capricorns are more focused on success than love, but with a Venus in Capricorn, you are good at maintaining a work and love-life balance. When it comes to love, you have a strong sense of responsibility and a drive to succeed in the relationship.

Aquarius

Gaia

Aquarius’ goddess is Gaia, the mother of the Earth and Uranus. This air sign is ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation and technology, and they are known to be incredibly introspective and avant-garde. With Venus in Aquarius, you are more grounded in love and follow your head over your heart. You’re a bit emotionally detached and would prefer to develop the friendship aspect in love before anything else.

Pisces

Psyche

Pisces goddess is Psyche, the goddess of the soul. This water sign is incredibly intuitive–so much so that they are Mystics and connect to spirituality better than most. Pisces is also ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusion, and with a Venus in Pisces, you look at love through rose-colored glasses. You romanticize love and are very caring and compassionate towards your partner.
