Type your birth date. Venus moves slowly, so the time rarely changes the answer.
What your Venus sign is
Venus is the planet astrology links with affection, pleasure, beauty and money in the sense of what you value. Your Venus sign describes how you show love and like to receive it, your taste in clothes, music and rooms, and what draws you to a person.
Seen from Earth, Venus never strays more than two signs from the Sun. So a Pisces Sun has Venus in Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries or Taurus, and many people find their Venus in the sign before or after their sun sign. It spends about four weeks in each sign, except when it turns retrograde and lingers for four months.
A birth date is usually enough. On the rare day Venus changed sign, the result tells you the hour. Couples often compare Venus signs, and synastry shows how one person's Venus touches the other's chart.
