A couple of details.
Which one are you?
Your Sun sign, the one everybody means. If your birthday is on the edge of two, pick the one you were told.
Which two signs?
No birth time needed for this one. If you know the exact moment for both of you, the full synastry reading is far more specific.
The moment, as exactly as you have it.

Before you hold your hand up
Thirty seconds of setup makes the difference between a reading and a guess.
Use the hand you write with. Hold it flat and relaxed with the fingers slightly apart, square to the camera, with the light in front of you rather than behind.
The photo is measured on this phone and never sent anywhere.

The small print
What do you want to ask?
Your readings
Judge the sheet, not the individual portraits. If they look like they came from different artists, the style lock needs work.
Nothing yet. Readings you open are listed here.
The lines on Earth where your Venus runs, the cities they pass through, and when they are live.
What an astrocartography line is
At the moment you were born, every planet was directly overhead at exactly one point on Earth, and on the horizon at others. Trace those points as the planet moves and you get lines across the map.
Your Venus lines are the ones traditionally read as where attraction is least complicated for you: where you are met more easily, where you are more inclined to stay. The technique is a century old and it is one of the few parts of astrology that produces something you can actually act on, because it names places.
What this one does
It computes your Venus lines from your birth moment and names the cities they run near, rather than handing you a map and leaving you to squint at it.
It also works out the windows: the periods over the next twelve months when the current sky activates those lines. A line is a place. A window is a time. Most astrocartography sites give you only the first.
What to do with it, and what not to
It is worth knowing which places on a shortlist your lines run through. It is not worth moving continents on the strength of one.
It needs your birth time to be right. The lines move with the clock, and an hour out moves them a long way across a map, which is a good reason to find the real time before you plan anything around this.
What Venus wants in each sign
Venus in Aries You want to be pursued and you want to do the pursuing, and you will not be told which.
Venus in Taurus You show it by turning up, feeding people and staying. Words come much later.
Venus in Gemini You need to be interested before you are attracted, and interest is fragile.
Venus in Cancer You get attached fast and hide it for as long as you can manage.
Venus in Leo You want to be chosen visibly. Quiet devotion does not register as devotion.
Venus in Virgo You show love by fixing things, and are hurt when that is read as criticism.
Venus in Libra You want it to be mutual and balanced, and you will perform balance to get it.
Venus in Scorpio You do not do casual. It is complete or it is nothing, and you know how that sounds.
Venus in Sagittarius You need room inside the thing, and you leave when the room closes.
Venus in Capricorn You are slow, deliberate and long-term, and you have been called cold for it.
Venus in Aquarius You need friendship underneath it or the rest does not hold.
Venus in Pisces You idealise early and then have to meet the actual person, which takes you longer than most.
Questions
Do I need an exact birth time?
More than anywhere else on this site. The lines depend on the Earth's rotation, so an hour out moves them hundreds of kilometres.
Does it mean I will meet somebody there?
No. It is read as a place where attraction is less effortful for you. Treat it as a tendency, not an appointment.
What if I already live on a line?
Then the reading is about what the line has been doing to a life you already have, which tends to be the more interesting version.
