⚡ TL;DR

Venus is the brightest planet after the moon and Earth's sister planet, yet astrology interprets it completely differently than astronomy does. In your birth chart, Venus reveals how you love, what you value, and how you express affection—having no connection to the planet's harsh physical reality.

In this explanatory documentary, some of the astronomical characteristics of the planet Venus are listed, such as it being the brightest celestial body naturally after the moon in the night sky, or for example that it is the only planet in the solar system whose rotation moves in the same direction as the hands of a clock.

Another curiosity is that it is a sister planet to Earth in terms of its density, size, composition, and volume, however its atmospheric pressure is much higher than Earth's, said to be about 92 times higher, perhaps for that reason it is a rather flat planet, and this despite the great number of volcanoes it possesses and which may still be in eruption, it is popularly called the morning star because it is unmistakable at dawn, on the other hand it is also easy to observe it at sunset.

In mythology it appears as Phosphorus or Lucifer (bringer of light) or as Eosphorus (bringer of dawn), the planet Venus has been associated since ancient times with the feminine symbol, and in astrological interpretation it indicates according to the place where it is situated, the way one has of relating to others, what type of tastes one has, or the way of expressing the affection and love that each person has, it is easy to see that there is no connection whatsoever between the astronomical vision of the planet and the way it is interpreted by astrology.
