Venus in the 2nd House ****************** With Venus in this house, you like to make money in pleasant ways. You appreciate it not only because of the security it provides, but because money enables you to buy all the things you find beautiful and important. You have a sense of well-being when you are able to surround yourself with objects that reflect your style. You have an eye for beauty when it comes to material things, but this is not a reason to avoid everything that you find non-aesthetic or inharmonious. By contrast, these things can help you to develop your aesthetic view of the world. You like to furnish your home well, incorporating works of art, fine furniture, etc. You can be generous, but your motives should be altruistic. You enjoy certain social scenes and hosting parties. There is a strong creative instinct often applied in areas such as crafts, literature, gardening, and home decor. You should be free of financial problems, unless you behave carelessly with your resources. You may be drawn to forms of employment which speak to the lighter or more graceful aspects of human society, such as the arts, fashion or beauty industry.
