Venus makes life worth living because she brings us pleasure, fulfillment, love, comfort, luxury, satisfaction, natural beauty, meaning, and healing. Read on to find out how Venus astrology can help you strengthen Venus in your birth chart.
When Venus is in good condition — like when she’s in Libra, Taurus, or exalted in Pisces — whether by transit or in your birth chart, you can partake of the good things Venus brings without overdoing it.
The People of “Undisturbed Senses”
Why is it that some people can eat just one cookie or have only a few bites of a creamy dessert? Or take one chocolate from a box of See’s Candies and leave the rest for later? (I’m so jealous of those people!)
How is it that some people seem to make better decisions about love and money, and have more
comfort and satisfaction in their lives — while others feel unfulfilled, no matter how many romances, desserts, or drinks they have?
Do you suffer from addictions? Have a history of painful relationships? Does fulfillment seem to slip from your grasp again and again?
The cause of these problems isn’t as complicated as it seems.
It’s Because of Venus!
In astrology, Venus is the nurse of the zodiac, bringing comfort when we’re hurt — physically or emotionally. Venus is also the decision-maker, able to determine the value or worth of relationships, things, or activities.
Venus expresses the water element, rejuvenating and healing us. She brings satiety and satisfaction from a meal, a drink, or a treat. Most importantly, Venus governs the sense of fulfillment we feel at the end of the day.
When Venus is strong and well-placed in your birth chart, her qualities are second nature. Relationships come easily, the senses are “undisturbed,” and cravings are under control. This is the power of healthy Venus energy — inner contentment and outer grace.
How Is Your Venus?
But if Venus is “damaged” or afflicted in your chart, fulfillment is harder to find. Think of the Rolling Stones’ song, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.”
When Venus is joined with Mars, the Sun, Moon, Saturn, or Rahu, or when she’s weak in Virgo, we may chase pleasure without ever feeling complete. It’s like running from one desert mirage to another, seeking the drop of water that will finally quench our thirst.
There can be other factors in your birth chart, of course — but usually, when we struggle with pleasure, love, or self-worth, it’s because of Venus.
The Good News is Venus Remedies Work
The beauty of astrology is that it’s a healing system. You are not stuck with the Venus you were born with. Even if your natal Venus is in a challenging sign or with difficult planets, there are Venus remedies you can do to increase pleasure, self-love, and fulfillment.
You’re not stuck with the Venus you were born with. If you’ve ever wondered how to strengthen Venus in your birth chart, these simple, everyday remedies will increase your Venus energy and bring more pleasure, healing and fulfillment.
Here are ten ways to strengthen Venus in your life and cultivate lasting satisfaction:
1. Start or Return to Health & Beauty Habits
Revive the routines that make you feel and look your best. Remember, health equals beauty — a strong Venus thrives on self-care.
2. Begin Therapy or Coaching
Healing the heart is Venusian work. Finding meaning in painful experiences increases your capacity for love and emotional fulfillment.
3. Cook at Home with Love
Slow down and enjoy home-cooked meals made from the freshest ingredients. Don’t skimp on healthy fats — Venus rules satisfaction and pleasure from food. Raw fruits and vegetables are especially effective for strengthening Venus in your birth chart.
4. Make Fermented Foods
Fermentation is ruled by Venus, the rejuvenator. Homemade kimchi, pickles, or sourdough (from books like Nourishing Traditions or Wild Fermentation) are perfect Venus remedies as Venus rules the sour taste. You thought Venus rules the sweet taste, didn’t you? I did too, but the sweet taste is actually ruled by Jupiter!
5. Refresh Your Appearance
Get a new haircut or upgrade your wardrobe with natural fabrics. Venus rules garments (fabric made from natural fibers), adornment, and the confidence that comes from feeling beautiful. Interestingly, Venus is not into makeup but prefers a natural face. If Venus uses makeup at all, it’s very minimal just enough to softly accent your features.
6. Practice Yoga or Gentle Movement
Yoga connects you to your body and helps you be present in your senses — pure Venus energy.
7. Dance for Joy
Venus rules dance and the strength of your muscles. Whether you take a class or dance at home, it’s one of the fastest ways to awaken Venus energy.
8. Get a Massage or Bodywork
Therapeutic massage melts away tension and heals through touch. Venus is the natural healer of the zodiac and loves relaxation and sensory pleasure.
9. Host a Dinner Party
Gather friends for delicious food and laughter (Venus rules food). Venus thrives on companionship, beauty, and shared enjoyment. Serve high-quality fruit for dessert attractively displayed.
10. Open to Love
Start a new relationship or nurture the one you have. Venus is the natural ruler of love, relationships, and marriage — and love itself is the highest Venus remedy.
Try one or more of these Venus remedies to awaken the healing power of Venus energy in your chart.
Venus teaches us that life’s true fulfillment comes from balance — pleasure without excess, love without neediness, beauty that nourishes the soul.
When you consciously strengthen Venus in your birth chart, you invite more peace, satisfaction, and self-love into your life. The Female Relationship Capacity Report (button to buy in side panel to the right) reveals how open you are to love and how to love yourself right into a great relationship.
Working with Venus energy is not indulgence—it’s spiritual medicine that restores joy, harmony, and gratitude for being alive.
