Venus is the planet of love and beauty. Venus rules Libra and Gemini and it also rules two astrology houses.
What is your Venus sign?
On the day you were born, the planets and their astrology house placement imprinted in what's called a natal chart. You can get a free natal chart interpretation here.
A natal chart shows things about your zodiac sign's personality: how you act, think, and the way you love.
It's good to study all the astrology houses what Venus and other planets mean and where each falls in your natal chart. Each astrology house is associated with a particular zodiac sign and when transits hit your natal horoscope it can activate something special in your daily horoscope, too.
For example, if you meet someone who has planets in their 12th house, you might have a karmic connection and feel electrified while in that person's presence.
Depending on where your astrology house + natal Venus sign is placed, you may find that you are drawn to lovers or romantic experiences for a reason.
If you were born with Venus in Pisces or the 12th astrology house, for example, you may find your personality attracts Virgo individuals or maybe you have visions of the past.
What does the 12th astrology house mean?
The 12th astrology house of the zodiac, known as the House of the Unknown or the Unseen, is one of the most misunderstood houses in astrology.
The 12th house is associated with the planet Neptune and the zodiac sign of Pisces.
What does it mean to have your Venus sign in the 12th house of your natal chart?
While most of the other houses deal with tangible aspects of everyday life, the 12th house deals with spirituality, the unconscious mind, and psychic connections.
This house deals a lot with things that lie just below the surface, and its effect on the different houses varies from one zodiac sign to another.

Meaning of Aries Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
For my little Venus in Aries friends, having your Venus sign in the 12th house means that you have a lot of selfless tendencies when it comes to who and how you love. You want to actively do good for others, and being in a relationship gives you the most intimate way of doing so.
Beware, though, because with Aries comes a small amount of self-obsession. Be sure that you are part of the relationship and wanting to help your partner because you want to, and not because at the end of the day it will improve your sense of self.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Sagittarius, Leo and Gemini.
Meaning of Taurus Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
My Taurus in Venus friends you are selfless in your love. Having Venus sign in the 12th house intensifies that. You’ll find yourself willing to give up all your time (and your money) to others if it means they’ll be happy.
Taurus Venus in general means that you have a harder time showing compassion and these gifts can be the only way you know how to give appreciation for others.
You will be annoyed, however, when people can’t seem to be able to take care of themselves. Be careful not to fall down the rabbit hole of helping others.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Libra, Capricorn, or Scorpio.
Meaning of Gemini Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
First off, anything in Gemini, can get a lot of bad rap in the zodiac, which makes you a misunderstood sign! Venus in Geminis are masters of communication. With your Venus sign in Gemini, you’ll find it easy to flirt and communicate with your partner on an everyday basis.
A Gemini’s pride can keep you from wanting to open up to your partner.
With Venus in the 12th house, you want to help others with your great expanse of knowledge and communication skills. Don’t be afraid to leave if you find that your skills and gifts aren’t being appreciated, they’re your biggest asset.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aries, Sagittarius and Leo.
Meaning of Cancer Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
My water sign babes have the amazing ability to empathize with others, and that’s something you can find in Venus in Cancers, too. With your Venus sign in Cancer, you can expect a heightened sense of understanding when it comes to your partner's problems. With Venus in the 12th house, your empathetic nature doubles its effect.
You want to help your partner through all of their emotional baggage. Playing the role of a listener is something you enjoy, but don’t be afraid to put your own feelings and experiences out there too. If you’re giving one hundred percent and your partner isn’t, walk away.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Scorpio.
Meaning of Leo Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
Oh, my beautiful Venus in Leo babies. You are the loudest and proudest sign in the zodiac. Having your Venus in Leo means that you are boisterous about your love. Public displays of affection are your main love language, and you love to be in the spotlight.
With your Venus sign in the 12th house, you become more inclined to share that spotlight with your partner. However, you lack the finesse to realize when your partner isn’t comfortable. Remember to talk to your partner, and keep your arrogance in check when your loved one isn't as comfortable in the spotlight as you.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aries, Aquarius, and Libra.
Meaning of Virgo Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
Venus in Virgo, you are the moms of the zodiac. They’re meticulous, pragmatic, and logical, almost to a fault. Venus in Virgo means that you’re careful about your love. You like to plan things out the finest detail to make sure everything goes according to your plan.
Having this Venus in the 12th house means that your Virgo tendencies are diluted, and you can begin to show more compassion than a Virgo Sun may be able to (and I’m able to say that because I’m a Virgo Sun). You’ll sacrifice all of your plans in order to make your partner happy but keep a balance.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Cancer.
Meaning of Libra Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
Venus in Libra, you are the peaceful and fair bunch of the zodiac. What’s more, you don't like to be alone. With your Venus in Libra, you want to be in a comfortable, stable relationship. You need a balanced relationship with less drama.
You may also find yourself to be drawn to supernatural topics, and you may even feel like you have some psychic connection or abilities. This comes from your need to find partners that have similar emotional and spiritual energies to yourself.
You are also super sensitive to other people’s emotions, so make sure to check in on your mental state every once and awhile.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Leo.
Meaning of Scorpio Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
Please don’t panic if your Venus is in Scorpio, I promise it’s not the end of the world! Venus is Scorpio means that your romantic side is mysterious and seductive. You express your love in really big ways, but that also makes you more vulnerable to jealousy and suspicion.
Your love life might be tumultuous but it will still be fulfilling. With that being said, with it in the 12th house, you are open to psychic connections and the supernatural. You are influenced by the feelings of others, so make sure that you aren’t falling into the toxicity of your partner or friends.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Taurus, Capricorn, and Scorpio.
Meaning of Sagittarius Venus sign in the 12th astrology house
Those of you with any additional Sagittarius placement have the tendency to look at the world in a very intellectual light. You’re curious, optimistic and ambitious. This translates to your Venus sign through the expression of confidence. With your partners, you are always looking at the bright side and never being afraid to shoot your shot.
You also have the tendency to speak your mind without a filter, and this can contradict a lot with the karmic properties in the 12th house. Don’t play the victim card when people don’t see eye-to-eye with you, and remember to look at the bigger picture.

Communication is not your strong suit, so be sure to share with your partner and master the art of compromise. With Venus in the 12th house, you’ll find that you are attuned to career goals and ambitions. You have a strong connection to spirituality, but you also know when to compartmentalize it so that it doesn’t interfere with your goals and your relationships.
You are most compatible with people who have their Mars in Capricorn, Cancer, and Taurus.

You commit selfless acts of love with abandon, and you truly encompass the martyr type of love. Make sure to check in with yourself emotionally, and to not let yourself get swallowed up by other people’s issues.
