Crossword Genius

Symbol of love, in Heaven usually (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venus

'symbol of love' is the definition.
(Venus was the Roman goddess of love)

'in heaven usually' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'VENUS' can be found hidden inside 'heaven usually'.

(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "not really a star" , "Second nearest planet to the sun" , "Heavenly body" , "Roman goddess of love" , "our Neighbour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
