Venus Symbol - Meaning, History, and Usage in Gender and Astrology #1789302 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white depiction shows the astrological and gender symbol for Venus-composed of a circle atop a cross. Historically derived from the hand mirror of the Roman goddess Venus, it evolved through alchemical notation to become the universal sign for the female sex and the planet Venus. Today, it’s used across science, gender studies, astrology, and feminist iconography.

Used on educational, scientific, gender-affirming, or astrological web pages; appears in articles about symbolism, biology, astronomy, or LGBTQ+ topics where visual shorthand for femininity or Venus is needed.
