Venus
Money, beauty, and what you draw close. Venus governs taste, attraction, the way you spend your time when no one is making you.
Venus is the planet of attraction in the broadest sense: love, pleasure, beauty, money, the things you draw close because they please you. Classical astrology gave Venus rulership over love and art; modern usage extends that to taste, aesthetics, and how you spend your discretionary time.
Venus moves about a sign and a half ahead of the Sun on average, so her position in any chart sits close to the Sun sign's neighbourhood. She retrogrades roughly every 18 months, the famous Venus-retrograde periods that journalists love and astrologers use to flag relationship reviews.
In daily forecasts AIstra uses Venus to describe the day's social and aesthetic tone. Venus in Libra: charm, fairness, smooth meetings. Venus square Saturn: love asking practical questions. Venus conjunct Jupiter: the day extravagance feels reasonable.
