How Natal Venus In The 3rd House Affects Your Life & Relationships
This placement gives your Venus sign a little Gemini energy.
In astrology, Venus is the planet of relationships, love, beauty, and attraction. Because of this, your Venus sign influences your romantic relationships and who you're attracted to.
But it's not just your Venus sign that makes a mark on your love life — the astrology house your Venus sign is in also plays a part.
Just as there are 12 zodiac signs, there are 12 astrology houses, each influencing a different aspect of your life.
The third house in astrology, ruled by the Gemini zodiac sign, is the house of communication.
Having the planet Venus in the 3rd house in your natal chart means your communication style and thinking process are influenced by Venus's traits.
