Discussing the meaning of the planet Venus in astrology, and explaining what it signifies in a birth chart, with astrologers Becca Tarnas and Chris Brennan.

Venus is traditionally thought to signify things like beauty, love, relationships, desire, sensuality, romance, harmony, pleasure, art, marriage, and other topics.

This is the fourth installment in our series on each of the planets, where we do a deep dive into their meaning in astrology.

We anchored the discussion by reading through a series of excerpts about Venus from different ancient and modern astrologers, including Vettius Valens, Abu Ma’shar, William Lilly, Reinhold Ebertin, Steven Forrest, and Richard Tarnas.

We then used these passages as jumping off points for an extended discussion about some of the deeper meanings of Venus, and the role that it plays in birth chart interpretation.
