What does the Venus sign mean in astrology?

Your Venus sign describes attraction, affection style, taste, pleasure, values, and what helps connection feel enjoyable and mutual. It is one of the clearest placements for understanding how you relate to love and beauty.

Is the Venus sign only about romance?

No. Venus also describes aesthetics, social style, money values, receptivity, and what you consider worthwhile or beautiful. Romance is one major expression, but not the only one.

Do I need exact birth time to know my Venus sign?

Exact birth time is helpful but not always required. Venus moves more slowly than the Moon, so your birth date is often enough, but exact time helps when Venus is near a sign change and makes the rest of the chart more useful.

Which matters more for compatibility, Venus sign or sun sign?

They answer different questions. The sun sign shows identity, while Venus shows attraction, affection, style, and what feels good in relationship. Compatibility gets clearer when you compare Venus with the Moon, Mars, and the overall chart.
