The chemistry

Two air Venuses fall in love talking and stay in love talking. You are friends first, lovers second and each other’s favourite audience always; the relationship runs on ideas, jokes and a shared way of looking at the world. It is light, fair and unpossessive, which is wonderful until one of you needs to be held instead of understood. Feelings can go unspoken for a long time in this pairing because both of you would rather discuss them than have them.

The pace

Both of you initiate. Two cardinal Venuses fall fast, decide fast and want to lead the relationship, which makes for a thrilling start and a recurring argument about who is driving. Take turns, literally.

What each of you needs back

You both need the same thing: partnership as a daily practice, with real fairness and a little romance in how it is done. That makes the need easy to recognise and easy to neglect, because each of you assumes the other already knows.

Where it grinds

The shadow is shared. You keep the peace at the price of the truth, and you can lose yourself in being what the other person wants. Multiply that by two and you have the specific way this pairing goes wrong: not through difference, but through the same flaw meeting itself with nobody outside it to say so.

What each gives

What you give each other is you make people feel accompanied. Life with you is more beautiful and less lonely. Doubled, that is a lot of the same good thing, and the relationship stays alive if you can bring in from outside what neither of you produces at home.

Not sure these are your Venus signs?

Venus is often not the Sun sign. Compute yours free from a birth date, or compare both full charts to see every contact between you, not just Venus.

Common questions

Is Libra Venus compatible with Libra Venus?

Very, in the sense of understanding each other; two Libra Venuses want the same things from love and show it the same way. The risk is a shared blind spot with no one to point it out.

How is this different from Sun-sign compatibility?

The Sun is identity; Venus is how you love and what you want back. Two people can have clashing Sun signs and matching Venuses, and it is the Venus match they feel day to day. Your Venus sign is often not your Sun sign: Venus is never more than 48 degrees from the Sun, so it sits in your Sun sign or one of the two on either side.

What if one of us doesn’t know their Venus sign?

Venus moves about a degree a day and changes sign roughly monthly, so the birth date alone fixes it for nearly everyone. Use the Venus sign calculator; a birth time is only needed on the handful of days each month when Venus changes sign.
