Venus spends 7.42% of 1900–2050 in Sagittarius, less than in any other sign it enters. The largest goes to Aries, at 9.22%. Venus turns retrograde in nearly the same five stretches of the zodiac every eight years, and the signs that host those loops collect extra time.

From the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris; retrograde returns count as one stay. Swiss Ephemeris agrees: median under a minute, largest 1.7 minutes where the planet barely moves. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.
Venus governs attraction and values — what you find beautiful and how you love. In Sagittarius, that function takes on expansion, honesty and appetite for the unfamiliar — a Mutable Fire expression ruled by Jupiter.
Essential dignity
How tradition rates Venus in Sagittarius
Venus in Sagittarius against its strongest and weakest signs, classical dignity score
Venus has no essential dignity in Sagittarius — neither home nor exaltation, detriment nor fall — so it scores 0 and, in the old reading, leans on Sagittarius’ ruler, Jupiter.
In practice
What it looks like in a person
Affection is adventurous and open-handed. The person enjoys shared exploration, humor, travel and ideas, and is attracted to people who expand their world — foreigners, teachers, people with strong beliefs. Taste tends to be casual and eclectic, and they are generous with money and time when they feel inspired. A shared sense of humor often matters more to them than looks or status, and they are drawn to people who can laugh at themselves.
From the outside
What other people notice first
Others notice warmth and good humor — the friend who is fun on a trip, laughs easily and makes plans sound exciting.
Venus in Sagittarius in love
Needs freedom and honesty; loses interest in partners who restrict or bore them. Generous and enthusiastic, sometimes careless with feelings. Shared goals and adventures do more for the relationship than routine togetherness.
At work
Good in travel, education, publishing, cross-cultural and outdoor work.
Under pressure
When things go badly
Under strain the person escapes. Avoiding difficult conversations with a trip, overpromising and blunt remarks that wound are the usual patterns.
Commonly overstated
What Venus in Sagittarius does not mean
It does not mean commitment-phobic. The need is for a relationship that keeps growing, not for no relationship.
The work
What this placement asks of you
Commitment that does not feel like a cage, and tact alongside honesty.
Where it plays out
The house decides that, and the house needs a birth time.
