Venus · Cardinal air sign

Venus in Libra

Venus in Libra is where Venus sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you love and what you find beautiful. Venus stays in a sign for three to five weeks, up to four months around a retrograde. Libra is a cardinal air sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 402 have Venus in Libra for the whole of their birth date. Albert Camus, Charles III and Freddie Mercury are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Virgo (125), Scorpio (106) and Libra (84). 33 more were born on a day Venus moved into or out of Libra and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Venus in Libra means

Read for how you love and what you find beautiful. If this is your placement:

You love with an instinct for balance and partnership, and you value harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. You give up your own preference before anyone has even asked you to.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
