Venus in the 2nd house

The 2nd house covers money, possessions and values, and Venus rules it in the traditional scheme. Comfort registers as a real value rather than a luxury: good food, good fabric, a room arranged with care. Money often comes through art, beauty, hospitality, or simply through being pleasant to deal with. Things are chosen and then kept. The obvious risk is spending, and the subtler one is measuring affection by what has been given and received.
