Venus in Libra in the Second House

The placement of Venus in Libra indicates that you have a strong need for relatie and a value system that is dominated by the importance of interpersonal interaction. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Libra are a result of your need to feel that you are in a harmonious and balanced relationship.

Venus is completely at home in Libra, as symbolized by its rulership over this sign. Libra is the Cardinal Air sign. This active air quality symbolically provides energy and freedom for social movement and communication. The Libran association with balance also epitomizes the essence of the evaluative function symbolized by Venus.

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

Onzekerheden

With Venus in Libra, when you are insecure about your own selfhood and your own values, you need the validation of others to support your ego and feel that you have some sense of self-worth. Consequently, so much time and energy is spent in cultivating your relationship(s), that you are dominated by your need for others. The all-important role of self in any relationship is lost. Having Venus in Libra, though you seek to enhance your self-worth by being in a relationship, the actual result of your dependency on the relationship and on your relationship partner(s) is that you lack basic self-confidence and self-esteem.

Venus in the 2nd House:

Venus in the 2nd House is generally a favorable placement for Venus, since Venus rules the 2nd House. When placed in the 2nd House, the evaluative and absorbing functions associated with Venus tend to be emphasized over its association with relationship. Physical security needs and comfort are the focus of the 2nd House and the evaluative functions symbolized by Venus tend to be employed in acquiring and enjoying what you need and value. Even your relaties tend to be oriented more toward practical concerns.

With Venus in the 2nd House, the psyche’s capacity to take in and evaluate impressions is particularly at home. You first determine what is good (or what is best) for your benefit and then you attract these things to you. This process of judging in order to acquire requires that you have a clear understanding of your own value system. Having Venus in the 2nd House, if you do not know for yourself what is valuable to you, then you will obtain what others (or what society) deems is for your own good. This basket of goods may or may not be what you really enjoy. However, if you know what you like and value, then, on obtaining it, there is no one more likely to truly enjoy what you have.

Onzekerheden

With Venus in the 2nd House, perhaps knowing subconsciously that there is no real security in the possession of material objects and wealth, you try to fill the void that you feel within by pursuing the acquisition and enjoyment of material and sensual pleasures. You are obsessed with what is attractive and pleasing and wanting to possess it. Unless you possess things, you do not feel satisfied; but even possession does not result in real satisfaction. You either fear the loss of your possession or you yearn for the next thing that has captivated you.

As an individual with Venus in the 2nd House, you are a slave to your senses and their perpetual yearnings. You are bent on acquiring more and more and you delude yourself that your acquisitions are necessary or that they are worthy and beautiful or that having is equivalent to enjoyment. You are simply led from one thing to another and you never discover or value that which is real and permanent.

Focus op evaluatie

Having Venus in the 2nd House, you are likely to be quite conscious of the degree to which you are materially secure. This is often an object of frequent evaluation and validation. How well off am I, today? What is my current net worth? This stock-taking, while generally taking place at the material level, can also be a spiritual or moral stock-taking if you have transformed your value system.

With Venus in the 2nd House, you are also likely to be judging whether a thing is valuable or likable with a mind to acquiring and possessing that thing. You may be asking the question, by how much will this thing add to the value of my possessions or to the enjoyment I receive from the things that I own? Lessons that you may need to learn in order to grow spiritually are that you can truly possess nothing and that you need to approach the world with equanimity because, ultimately, both pain and pleasure come from the same Source.
