What Does Venus in the 2nd House Mean?

Venus in 2nd House Man

Venus is love, and the placement of Venus in second house shows the love nature of a person.

The nature of the 2nd house is to spend money, and to be with women. It will describe what a person does in relationship to himself and their environment. When Venus (planet of love) enters this house, it becomes the planet of money, luxuries and so on.

In my opinion, the Venus in the second house man is no different than a woman with Venus in the second house; that is to say, appearances are everything.

Venus in the Second House men are well organized, calm and responsible. They have a charming personality and success in relationships can be expected as long as they learn their limits and don’t cross the boundaries.

These men always have a strong desire to express their feelings and personality. They often feel lonely and isolated. For this reason, they surround themselves with family or friends, even if it is just to talk to and listen to them.

He will be very eager to marry someone smarter than him. Sometimes due to the second house being heavily affected by Venus, this position can make the person obsessed about attaining luxuries and amassing huge amounts of wealth.

Meaning in Synastry

Venus in the 2nd House synastry represents supportive love relating with self-esteem and confidence. The Venus subject or person benefits from the native’s resources and feels loved for who they are, not just how they look.

This aspect is very simple to understand on its surface; however, it will reflect something beyond the Venus person needing love in order to feel good about themselves.

Venus in the 2nd House synastry, means that no matter how hard they try to hide this part of their relationship, they will always be attracted to the same type of partners.

This is because Venus in the 2nd House is ruled by Mars and the two elements together; love and physical attractiveness go very much hand-in-hand.

When Venus is in the second house of a synastry chart, the other person is supportive of the native’s financial goals. These individuals often contribute to the welfare and happiness of the native.

The unhappiness in this aspect is not caused by the nature of Venus, but if your partner has Venus in the 2nd House it may be wasted on trivial or even sordid pleasures. It is far more likely that you will be hurt and disappointed rather than enriched through this aspect.

Venus in your partner’s 2nd House indicates that you have a good business sense. Be willing to go out on a limb for your partner, and she or he will be sure to return the favor.
