Its said that Venus in a house represents a ‘relationship’ with the themes governing that house in particular. When you pair Venus with the 2^nd house, you have a very interesting combination. In le ancient greek myth, Venus is said to be ruled by Aphrodite and frolics over the 2^nd and 7^th houses because they represent love, art and material possessions. In the 2^nd house, thats exactly the case.

Venus in the 2^nd house people LOVE their material goods. They might even find that they get more of a pulse out of accumulating useless deals through a Black Friday sale than a cheery romantic comedy. Venus is in one of its homes here, so there’s a love affair with wealth. They might be hoarders, shopaholics or classic ‘defensive eaters’ because they believe that everything they want should naturally be theirs..by any means necessary.

The advantage to this placement might give someone the leverage to be very successful financially. This is the house of Taurus and Taurus believes in all things security. These are the people that have the best life insurance lying perpendicular to their bank account balances. To them, there’s a ‘comfort’ and security in having “things.” In extreme cases, its luxury. In more mild cases, its a safety net. They’re also this way with friends. You won’t catch a Venus in the 2^nd with a risky best friend or even acquaintance. They have a tendency to look down on people who constantly get themselves into a jam because they just can’t fathom ever having it themselves. They’d rather be safe than sorry and there’s a sort of modern wisdom behind this way of thinking.

If you have Venus in the 2^nd House, consider accounting, real estate or anything that directly associates you to money because you’ll have a natural affinity for it..and in THIS day and age, its recommended we all befriend someone like this. Ironically, these people will also keep Bravo spendthrift reality shows and financial consultants in business.

Gotta love the 2^nd house.  

There’s definitely something diplomatic about the first one. She doesn’t believe in grand gestures of affection, intense prickling intensity or child like romance. She wants someone who believes in old fashioned romance and someone who’s sleek, sophisticated and refined. 

Connection wise, he MIGHT be attracted to her actions because she always takes everyone else’s feelings into account before she does anything - THATS how he acts emotionally. The problem here is that he’s more action-centered. The venus in cancer makes him sensitive, but he may be a bit assertive for her. 

Dunno. What are their Mars and Moon signs? Thats not enough information for us. AND since you have their risings, what are their VII and VIII Houses? THAT’LL really tell us whats going on. 

The second aries is going to have an ENTIRELY different perception of love than the first one. The second aries believes in fast love and immediate stimulation. The first one, even though they’re fiery and hot tempered, values a degree of worship in love. They expect grand gestures, but ALSO a parter that values depth, super disney esque romantic love and bleeding intimacy. 

The second one might think the first one has super high, annoying expectations. 

I have no idea. We don’t predict or call anything based on a sun sign alone. You know how magazines, radio stations, newspapers and quirky little teen areas of media sites have a horoscope section and you’re used to seeing which sign you are based on your birthday? 

Yeah. We don’t do that here. Thats called your SUN sign and only makes up 0.01% of who you actually are astrologically. 

In our past two posts, we’ve given links to places where you can calculate your full natal chart to see what other signs you have in you. Do YOURS and your ex boyfriend’s and tell us - 

Yours and His - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Liliths for each (if you’re using cafe astrology). If you know what time each of you was born down the HOUR and MINUTE, give us each of your VII and VIII House signs. 

THEN come back. 

Why butterflies you ask? I’ve done a bit of reading on this one, and its said that Venus in the 1^st house represents a “social butterfly” of sorts. Since Venus = Relationships and the 1^st house represents the self, Venus in 1^st house means “Your relationship with others and yourself.” They’re social butterflies because their lives exist around the connections with others they create.

This placement has two sides. On one hand, you have someone who supposedly has a very well crafted sense of self. They’re individualistic and can distinctly carve out their opinions and their beliefs from those of everyone else. On the flip side, all of those beliefs, opinions and HOW this person is crafted dependently rely on their relationships WITH other people. Get the link?

According to Venus in the 1^st house, they build their self image by sometimes over prioritizing relationships in their lives. Its as if they can’t-exist-without them. Even though some astrologers and amateur star gazers associate this position to Libra because they say that Venus in the 1^st gives this person a love of beauty, charm and finesse, we think that that’s just hitting the surface.

If your love life directly correlates with the relationship you have with yourself, then romance becomes a number one thing to you or your social relationships outweigh your other responsibilities.

For our next special segment, we’re going to talk about Venus in the houses. If you do your natal chart on cafeastrology, astro.com or any other site that allows you to see your houses because you’ve provided your birth time, something very special happens when your natal Venus falls into a house.

Starting now into the next week, we’re going to dedicate ourselves to those that have this alignment. Doesn’t mean that there’s anything ‘extra’ about them. When a natal planet (say mars or uranus) falls into one of your houses, it means that THAT particular area of your life is going to have a little extra moan and “oompf!” For example, there are some people out there that have multiple planets in one house and others that have them scattered. Someone that has Neptune falling into their 12^th, 8^th and 7^th houses might be someone that tends to lose themselves and forget the world around them in their relationships socially and romantically and feel as if they have some spiritual attachment to them. When a planet falls into a house, it makes that area in your life MUCH more emphasized and it creates a pattern of events that circulate around them.

If you don’t have Venus in any of your houses, it doesn’t mean that you’re less lovable, unsexy or anything negative. It means that another area of your chart is going to have a little more emphasis. For instance, maybe you have multiple planets like your Sun, Moon and Mars in Capricorn and they fall into your 2^nd, 4^th and 10^th houses? THAT means that love is totally secondary to you and you’re going to be the next Donald Trump with how much fucking money you might make because you value discipline over playtime. See? There is NOTHING to be ashamed of!

Keep your boxers and your panties on folks because you’re REALLY going to have fun with this one!  

We also have a schedule now! 

We’re going to talk a bit about how aries loves and screws for people that have it in their 7th and/or 8th houses, Venus and/or their Mars in Aries or have their venus and mars planets aspecting a crap ton of others (particularly each other and pluto). 

Aries doesn’t really love, they love HARD. People with Aries 7th Houses want relationships that they dominate and partners that seem un-dominatable — because its fun like that. If you have Aries in any of the the love planets or houses, people probably have this idea that you’re a hard one to wine and dine and to catch. 

Aries doesn’t play that. The Aries 8th house people want partners that will physically, emotionally and psychologically drive them insane and CONSTANTLY make them work for it. They think that subtlety is bullshit and they love men and women that look like they own multiple love dungeons. 

Aries Venus and Mars ladies and gents want partners that either intentionally dominate or ACCIDENTALLY dominate. They’re also suckers for legs, jawlines and might not think it foul to have sex on the first date. Even Ares fucked Aphrodite after all. 

This person needs a good Cancer dominated by Leo placements or Pisces or a Leo dominated by Cancer or Pisces placements. 

My boyfriend’s a Virgo with a Gemini moon, Scorp venus and Libra mars with a 7th cancer and 8th leo. Trust me on this one. Works like a charm. 

I completely agree. ESPECIALLY if their mars-planets aspects anything (particularly venus, pluto and uranus). 

Having an 8th house mars usually means that that person accidentally projects their sexuality into every-thing that they do. They’ll also end up attracting a myriad of suitors that usually can’t handle them.
