Since the Roman goddess Venus is the goddess of love, in Western astrology the planet Venus is also associated with love. Venus is also associated with the principles of harmony, beauty, balance and the urge to unite. According to Marcus Manilius, Venus is generous and fecund, and presides over the left arm. In Gustav Holst's musical composition The Planets, Venus is called "The Bringer of Peace". Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and Libra.

In Chinese astrology, Venus is associated with the element metal.

Venus is never more than 47° away from the sun. This means Venus can never be located more than two signs away from the sun, or form aspects with the sun with a wider angle than the 45° semisquare.

Venus is also never more than 74° away from Mercury. This means Venus can never be located more than three signs away from Mercury, or form aspects with Mercury with a wider angle than the 72° quintile.
