Your Love Language, According to Your Venus Sign
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and it’s putting hearts, flowers, and cosmic compatibility at the forefront of our minds (even if Mercury will be retrograde come February 14).
While you may have a hunch regarding which of the five love languages you resonate with, have you ever thought to look at your birth chart to find out more? While your sun sign can give you a solid peek into your general personality, it’s your Venus sign that sheds light on what you value and how you show love.
Everyone shows their affections in a unique way depending on the zodiac sign that their love planet, Venus, resides in. Familiarizing yourself with what makes you feel loved and appreciated in relationships can help make your Valentine’s Day even more satisfying this year.
Whether you show affection via acts of service, words of affirmation, or one of the other three, read on to find out which love language you relate to. (P.S. If you want more cosmic information about your love life, consider getting a love reading from a psychic.)
