Venus in Aquarius in the First House

The placement of Venus in Aquarius indicates that you have a need for uniqueness and originality in your relationships and your value system. These are abstract concepts and pursuing these needs often leaves little room or inclination for emotion or the mundanely personal. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Aquarius are a result of your need to feel that you are a unique individual even when involved in a relatie. Having Venus in Aquarius, behavior and personality are also the result of your need to adopt a set of values that are independent, not conditioned by society’s expectations and reflective of your unique viewpoint.

The Venus in Aquarius placement is complex and contains inherent tensions.  This is symbolized by the natural square between Aquarius and Venus-ruled Taurus in combination with the natural trine between Aquarius and Libra, which is also ruled by Venus. Aquarius is the Fixed Air sign. While Aquarius’ airiness promotes social interaction, it is generally not at the personal level at which Venus operates.  Thus, with Venus in Aquarius, you need and want social interaction, but you may not have the full set of social skills to successfully engage in interpersonal relaties. Also, the fixed nature of the Aquarian character tends to inhibit the fluidity that is naturally inherent in the Venusian energy. This stiffness and rigidity also tends to impact your relationships and your values and perceptions.

Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Aquarius, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Aquarius. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Aquarius-associated traits.

Onzekerheden

As an individual with Venus in Aquarius, in your insecurity, you are steadfastly committed to preserving your “independence” and individual “uniqueness” within your relationship(s) and as part of your value system.

Having Venus in Aquarius, you cannot understand the uniqueness of another, nor the needs of others for relationship “below” your level of self-abstraction. Your lack of understanding and appreciation for the personal causes you to become defensive in your relationship(s). This often manifests as an aloof or authoritarian attitude or a testy and suspicious nature. Also, in your conflict between the abstract and the personal, you sometimes develop a defense mechanism in which you are guarding the “higher good” against messy and imperfect “selfish” considerations of others.

Venus in the 1st House:

With Venus in the 1st House, it is likely that your modes of evaluation and relationship are at once inwardly focused and externally projected. Generally, you are very much aware of your likes and dislikes. If you are more self-aware, you will also be conscious of why you like and dislike and even of the processes that you use to evaluate people and things. Having Venus in the 1st House, you will also be aware of the relationships in your life and the effect that these have on your own sense of self.  Relationships may not be as important to you in themselves as reference points for your own feeling or sense of self.

With Venus in the 1st House, relationships are an important ingredient in how you define yourself and the quality of your relationships can affect your self-esteem and your self-perception. Similarly, what you like and dislike and the things that you possess as a result of your likes and dislikes can have a self-defining role to play.

As an individual with Venus in the 1st House, because your tastes and your relationships are so important to your psyche, they are likely to be reflected in how you project your personality. Because people and relationships are important to you, you often appear to others to be a “people person.” Because you define yourself so strongly by what you accept and reject, you may appear to others to be an individual of taste. Often this may be reflected in your cultivation of a beautiful or handsome appearance. With Venus in the 1st House, the relationship between the reality of self and its appearance in the world plays a central role in your psyche and this dynamic is key to interpreting the symbolic meaning of Venus in the 1st House.

Onzekerheden

Having Venus in the 1st House, if you have not found your own internal value system you will have no concept of your own identity. You only gain validity for your sense of self-hood from the reactions of others around you. Therefore, relationships occupy an overly critical place in your life. With Venus in the 1st House, appearances, meaning your own appearance in particular, are everything. The appearance that you project, the taste that you portray and who you are seen with determine your self-worth. Your opinion of yourself is determined only by what others think of you. If you are criticized, or worse – ridiculed – you are shattered and humiliated. You have nothing firm of your own to grab onto.

Focus op evaluatie

With Venus in the 1st House, the self is the ultimate reference point for you. For you, judgment and taste are self-defining. You are known to yourself and others by the decisions you make and by your likes and dislikes. It may be very difficult for you to develop an objective point of view.

Having Venus in the 1st House, the self may also become an object of evaluation, as well as the subjective evaluator. There is a danger that you may be overly self-critical and may have problems liking yourself. In fact, whether you like yourself, to what extent, why and how may be an important issue for you to resolve.
