Your Venus sign describes how you love and what makes you feel loved. It doesn't map one-to-one onto the five love languages, but every Venus sign has a clear favourite way to give and receive affection — and knowing your partner's Venus can save a lot of misunderstandings.

Venus sign vs Sun sign in love
Your Sun sign describes who you are; your Venus sign describes how you love. They are often different — Venus is never more than two signs away from the Sun — which is why a Scorpio Sun can love in a light, playful Sagittarius way, or a Leo Sun in a quiet Virgo way.
