The star sign salon is now open
Would you let the stars decide your style? How about your next haircut and colour? While astrology enthusiasts might already be consulting their sign to put together the perfect look, others might find themselves sceptical. But Venus dressing and perfume matching on the rise, it only makes sense that the trend would make it’s way over to the salon. So, can we trust our Venus sign to choose a hairstyle? We ask the experts.
How To Find A Hairstyle For Your Venus Sign
What Is A Venus Sign?
Like your sun or moon sign, your Venus sign refers to which zodiac sign the planet Venus was in when you came into the world. ‘Your Venus sign refers to the zodiac sign that the planet Venus was in when you were born,’ explains Zakariya Adeel, a creator, writer and astrologer. ‘One’s birth chart is a snapshot of the night sky at that moment, showing all the zodiac signs in different positions, along with the sun, moon, and eight planets, including Venus. Since the planets move, Venus can be in any zodiac sign; you can easily find out which one by entering your exact birth date and time into an astrology app or website.’

How To Find Your Venus Sign
Interest piqued? To find your Venus sign, you’ll need to know the date and time of when you were born. ‘To find your Venus sign, begin by searching online for a natal or birth chart generator or download an astrology app,’ recommends Lisa Lister, an author and modern-day mystic. ‘Put in the details that the system asks for – it’ll usually be the time, date, and place of your birth. This will generate your natal birth chart.
‘Good news is that most online generators and phone apps offer both a visual map and a written summary that will tell you exactly which astrological sign and house each planet is in,’ she continues. ‘To find your Venus placement – the astrological sign and house that Venus was in the moment you entered Earth side – start by looking for the symbol that resembles a handheld mirror on your natal chart; it will be, at most, two astrological signs behind or ahead of your sun sign.’
Can It Influence Our Attractiveness?
So, where does Venus come in at the salon? According to astrology, Venus plays a vital role in nurturing attraction – in physical terms, through your clothing, hairstyle, makeup and fragrance choices – and basing our personal styling choices on what resonates with our sign can help intensify this trait. ‘In mythology, Venus was the goddess of beauty and love, and these same pillars are present in how we perceive her within astrology,’ says Zakariya. ‘As such, this sign rules what we perceive as attractive and what we are looking for in a potential mate.’
‘Our Venus sign doesn’t just have an impact on our actual appearance,’ adds Lisa. ‘It influences our relationship to aesthetics, what we value, our sense of worth and what and who we are attracted to.
‘If you know your Venus sign and its element, you can then use it to support you to make smarter, more-aligned-with-you decisions about your entire appearance.’
Even without knowing your Venus sign, you might already display recognisable traits both through your hairstyle and at the salon. As Tina Farey, Editorial Director at RUSH Hair, explains: ‘When it comes to choosing hairstyles and colours, your personality plays a huge role. We always have a consultation with each client, discussing their lifestyle to get a better idea of what they like before we suggest any hairstyles or colours.
‘Of course, many clients will come to us already set on what they would like to have done – particularly those who are very organised and plan-focused, like Virgos and Capricorns,’ she continues. ‘However, many clients also come to us lacking inspiration, and are looking for suggestions and recommendations. Some zodiac signs that are more prone to the indecisive trait are Libra, Pisces, Cancer and Gemini.’
Does The Element Matter?
Each sign, regardless of its house, is also swayed by its element: fire, earth, air or water. ‘Each of the four elements have different sensibilities,’ highlights Zakariya. ‘For example, fire signs are entrepreneurial and active, earth signs are hard working and retiring, air signs are intellectual and humanitarian and water signs are sensitive and creative.’
Haircuts & Colours For…
Venus In A Fire Sign: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
‘Venus fire signs are hot, passionate and exciting,’ says Lisa. ‘They are definitely more likely to try new styles and take risks with their appearance.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For An Aries Venus
Styles: Something short, like a bob or pixie cut
Colours: Warm and soft tones, reds, blondes and pastels
‘A playful sign, I would suggest a gorgeous pastel tone,’ recommends Tina. ‘This specifically is great for an Aries who may not want to opt for something too bold and vibrant, but still want a very fun and playful look.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Leo Venus
Styles: Wild curls and waves, choppy layers
Colours: Golden blonde, copper, bright colours
‘Bold and creative, Leo’s are definitely more likely to opt for a more “out there” hair colour,’ muses Tina. ‘A vivid bright or a hair colour look that infuses several different hair colours to create a more mermaid-like hue may be of interest to this sign.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Sagittarius Venus
Styles: Soft, no-effort beach waves
Colours: Warm tones, copper and gold
‘An adventurous sign and a sign that’s known to be more exploratory, a beautiful copper hue is a great choice for a Sagittarius,’ suggests Tina. ‘It’s not too bold and bright, but it’s a great way for them to dip their toe into red hair colour and that will allow them to express themselves.’

How To Find A Hairstyle For A Taurus Venus
Style: Timeless styles, something with a soft curl
Colour: Auburn, brown, earthy tones
‘Taurus is such a romantic and sensual sign, so I would suggest something like soft, flowing waves or a beautiful updo with braiding that looks super pretty and whimsical feel,’ says Tina.

Colour: Blonde, chestnut, earthy tones
‘Being a perfectionist, I could envision a Virgo with a super clean, perfect blonde hue with no brassiness in sight and extreme shine,’ muses Tina.
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Capricorn Venus
Style: Blunt bob, maybe with a power fringe
Colour: Honey blonde, light brown, earthy tones
‘Capricorns are known for being honest, loyal and also hardworking and organised,’ says Tina. ‘For this sign, I would suggest a beautiful blunt bob that hits the jawline. Styled smooth, straight and sleek, this is a perfect style to compliment a Capricorn’s nature and it exudes sophistication.’

How To Find A Hairstyle For A Gemini Venus
Style: Playful styles, maybe a bob or a shag cut
Colour: Bright colours, two tones, light tones
‘An experimental sign, a Gemini may be interested in adding a pop of colour to their hair look,’ emphasises Tina. ‘This might be a fun colour panel, highlight or slice in a vibrant hair colour to inject some colour into their look without being too daring.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Libra Venus
Style: Face-framing layers, a soft fringe
colour: Balayage, brown and blonde, light tones
‘Libra’s are known for their love of aesthetic beauty and craving balance,’ says Tina. ‘With that in mind, I would say they would suit a hairstyle and colour that looks both effortless and also super on trend and chic. Balayage with face framing is a great choice for a Libra.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For An Aquarius Venus
Style: Intricate braids, textured shag, mermaid waves
Colour: Silver, light blonde, blue, light tones
‘Known for being innovative and confident, an Aquarius would definitely opt for a hair look that’s unique and stylish,’ highlights Tina. ‘Think bubble braids, fishtail braids and more avant-garde styles that include a lot of detail that stand out from the crowd.’

‘With their appearance, a water sign Venus will definitely want to make an impact,’ says Lisa. ‘They are super expressive and they will take their time to put together entire outfits to create an entire “experience”.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Cancer Venus
Style: Sleek bun, braids, natural textures
Colour: Silver, blonde, cool tones
‘Cancers are known for being more sensitive, compassionate and nurturing,’ Tina points out. ‘With that in mind, I think a sleek, super healthy hairstyle (think a sleek bun or ponytail) or a more protective style (such as braids and twists) would work well for a Cancer. They may be more inclined to truly look after their hair and keep it protected at all times and oozing a healthy, shiny appearance.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Scorpio Venus
Style: Hollywood waves, pin-up curls
Colour: Plum, black, rich tones
‘Scorpios are known for being more private and mysterious, alongside being strong and independent,’ highlights Tina. ‘To compliment these traits, a gorgeous rich, deep burgundy or plum shade would look beautiful or alternatively, a jet black with extreme shine.’
How To Find A Hairstyle For A Pisces Venus
Style: A shaggy, layered cut, bouncy curls, pixie cut, undercut bob
Colour: Light blonde, cool tones
‘Pisceans are very imaginative and creative, so I would suggest a shorter style that has a slight edge,’ recommends Tina. ‘Think a textured pixie cut, shaved style or even a shag or mullet that will add dimension and movement to the hair whilst flattering the face.’

Should We Be Choosing Hairstyles Based On Our Star Sign?
If you checked out the hairstyle suggestions for your Venus sign and thought ‘yikes’, don’t worry. Using your Venus sign to pick a specific look might not always resonate with your personal preferences. Instead, think of it more as a fun guide to decision-making. ‘I don’t think you have to use your Venus sign to choose your hairstyle and colour, no,’ says Lisa. ‘But I think that knowing your Venus sign can support you to make good choices that will amplify and enhance your style.
‘Your natal Venus placement, while not diagnostic, is definitely a starting point for exploration as it can offer you intel and support in living your truest, most heart-led expression,’ she highlights.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that you Venus sign is simply one small part of a much larger whole. ‘You don’t have to consult your Venus sign, but it can help with some things,’ says Zakariya. ‘Really, you need to look at the entire chart as a whole, as different planets will rule different parts of your life. Learning about these components all together can really aid you to make positive changes that are in harmony with your astrological destiny.’
What Do Stylists Say?
While a fun tool, you don’t need to rely on your Venus sign to get the perfect look. In fact, some stylists would even say you shouldn’t. ‘There are so many different things to consider than just your Venus sign,’ confirms Tina. ‘One of the most important is your face shape. Although your Venus sign may suggest that you should opt for a more creative hairstyle, like a pixie cut for example, this may not work for your face shape. A pixie cut is best for those who want to add balance, so works better for more angular face shapes. Your stylist can also help tailor a haircut to you so that it looks more with your overall features.
‘Hair texture should also be considered when opting for a new hairstyle,’ she continues. ‘Those with fine hair will want to consider styles that will give the appearance of thickness, such as blunt ends or long layers.
‘And finally, when it comes to hair colour, you will also want to consider your complexion,’ Tina says. ‘Choosing the correct hair colour will compliment your skin tone, whereas choosing the wrong colour will do the opposite and can make you appear dull, dreary and washed out. Chat to your hairdresser about the colour you would like, and they will provide suggestions on how to tailor this to your skin tone. For example, if you would like to opt for a red shade and you have a fair skin tone with a cool undertone, a red shade that adds warmth such as a cherry or ruby red is a great choice.’
