Venus is never more than 47 degrees from the Sun. Consequently, Venus is typically found in the same sign as the Sun or within two signs either preceding or following the Sun's position.

Venus takes about 225 - 243 days to complete its cycle through the 12 Zodiacs. It takes approximately 23 to 40 days to transit through each zodiac sign, depending on its retrograde periods. These transits include the time Venus might spend in retrograde, which occurs approximately every 18 months and can extend its stay in a particular sign.

225 - 243 Days to complete its cycle.
23 - 40 Days to transit through 1 Zodiac sign.
Compare with the Sun which takes 30 Days to transit 1 Zodiac Sign.

Words From Henry Cornelius Agrippa

Venus is called the Lady, Nourishing, Beautiful, White, Fair, Pleasing, Powerful, the Fruitful Lady of Love and Beauty, the Progeny of Ages, the First Parent of Men, Who in the beginning of all things Joined Diversity of Sexes together with a Growing Love, and with an Eternal Off-Spring Propagates kinds of Men and Animals, the Queen of all Delights, the Lady of Rejoicing, Friendly, Sociable, Pitiful, Taking all things in Good part, always Bountiful to Mortals, Affording the tender Affection of a Mother to the conditions of them in Misery, the Safeguard of Mankind, Letting no moment of time pass without Doing Good, Overcoming all things by her Power, Humbling the High to the Low, the Strong to the Weak, the Noble to the Vile, Rectifying, and Equaling all things: and she is called Aphrodite, because in every sex, she is found to be of every mind: and she is called Lucifera, i.e. Bringing Light, Bringing the Years of the Sun to Light; and she is called Hesperus, when she follows the Sun, and Phosperus, because she leads through all things though never so hard.
