Venus in Capricorn in the Second House

The placement of Venus in Capricorn indicates that you have a need for practicality in your relaties and your value system. This often manifests as an inherent need to measure your relationship(s) against a set of explicit or implicit goals. With Venus in Capricorn, your values tend to be pragmatic and utilitarian, since these, too, are affected by the goal-orientedness associated with Capricorn. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Capricorn are a result of your need for accomplishment and feeling successful in your relationships and in the outcomes that are the result of your value system.

Venus’ placement in Capricorn is complex, as symbolized by the natural square between Capricorn and Venus-ruled Libra in combination with the natural trine between Capricorn and Taurus, which is also ruled by Venus. Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth sign. The Saturnian earth nature of Capricorn symbolically restricts and inhibits the flowing social energy associated with Venus. It also tends to rigidify the fluidity necessary for the carrying out of the evaluative functions symbolized by Venus. However, the stability that the Capricorn energy brings is beneficial to those functions associated with Venus. Because Capricorn has a more natural affinity with the Taurus energy than with Libra, the value-forming and appreciating functions symbolized by Venus tend to be more pronounced in your psyche and personality than is the case for most people, while the relatie functie wordt moeilijker uitgedrukt.

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

Onzekerheden

Having Venus in Capricorn, if you are insecure in yourself, you will usually fear that you will be unsuccessful in your relationship(s). In trying to protect yourself from failure, your inclination is toward the cautious and safe approach. With Venus in Capricorn, you have an inherent lack of sensitivity and understanding of the emotional and intangible aspects of personal relationships. Nor are you willing to risk failure by trying to develop emotional depth in your relationship(s). You, therefore are inclined to treat others exclusively on the practical and objective level with which you are familiar.  At the extreme, you withdraw from close relationships altogether. Thus, your relationships and your entire value system become sterile and dry.

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 relationships 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.
