After a brief stint in the mutable earth sign of Virgo, this Venus placement will usher in loads of love, luck and romance for the zodiac signs. Read about the complete effects of Venus’ appearance in Libra for your sun sign.
But first, what does Venus signify for your zodiac sign?
Venus is a powerful planet in astrology that directly affects the native’s love life, relationships and marriage. Besides this, it also signifies the financial health of the zodiacs. It is a benefic planet which rules two zodiac signs: Libra and Taurus. Having an exalted Venus in your natal chart means that both you and your partner would have a blessed, bountiful and abundant life in terms of romance and material luxuries.
