Compatibility: find out whether it is a match with this astrological trick

Do you always fall for Taureans? Or Aquarians? If you have ever done an astrological compatibility test, you will know that some combinations look magical and others… not at all. But if you really want to understand why certain people attract you, there is one key planet to look at: Venus.

What does Venus say about you?

In astrology, Venus represents love, attraction, beauty, romance and pleasure. Your Venus reveals how you love, what kind of people draw you in, and what you need in order to feel seen, wanted and valued.

Your Venus sign depends on where the planet stood in the sky at the moment you were born. That sign — together with the astrological house Venus was in — gives you a surprisingly clear picture of your style in love.

Venus in your sign = the way you love

Here is what it means to have Venus in each of the twelve signs of the zodiac:

• Aries: You are direct and passionate. You are drawn to brave people, full of energy.
• Taurus: You look for stability, physical closeness and comfort. You are romantic and deeply loyal.
• Gemini: You fall in love through the mind. Humour and good conversation win you over.
• Cancer: You are sensitive and protective. You need emotional safety and a deep connection.
• Leo: You like to be admired. Passion, drama and romance draw you in.
