Venus in First House

Because it is the sign appearing on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, the ascendant, or rising sign, marks the beginning of the first house and symbolises one's initial contact with the external world. Setting the mood for the entire horoscope, the first house determines one's personality, physical appearance and general consititution. Representing the first breath we inhale, the ascendant and the first house reflect inherited traits rather than learned habits and patterns. Whereas the midheaven signifies the way we consciously wish to be viewed and how we strive towards achieving that image, the ascendant represents the way others take us into account based on our mannerisms, choice of clothing, hairstyle or any other external attribute which becomes an identifying feature. It is the characteristics of the ascendant and planets situated in the first house that colour all our activities, ranging from the clothes we wear to our facial expressions to our social skills.

Because the ascendant describes inherited and often unconscious personality traits, it reveals the type of life's journey we will embark on, how we view the world and how we are, in return, viewed by others. The placement of Venus in the first house - especially if it is conjunct the ascendant - transforms an individual into a 'Venus-tinted window' whose poise, passion, conviviality and seductive charm are sources of strength and confidence. Like the agrarian fertility Goddess, those with Venus in the first house know that by pleasing others they will, in return, be offered loyalty, support, prosperity and love.

Because the first house represents one's appearance and outward behaviour, the influence of Venus in this region of the horoscope reveals the enormous value people with Venus in the first house place on being well-liked. Convinced they are being judged by first impressions (since they view others this way), individuals with Venus in the first house are often preoccupied with the way they look, dress and behave. While not always classically beautiful, those with Venus in the first house, ruling the first hour, or aspecting the ascendant possess both attractiveness and great charisma - that indefinable something that endears them to families, friends and colleagues. Like a magnet, these sensual and exciting people attract those who wish to absorb their infections energy simply by being around them. Confidence that they can call upon their immense sex appeal, charming personality and beautiful appearance to 'open doors' gives them the incentive to embark upon endeavours that others might find intimidating. (Success will depend on whether Venus is positively or negatively aspected.) Overly enthusiastic and extremely impetuous when positioned in the dominant first house, Venus wields enoiugh charm, magnetism and charisma to attract supporters and attain certain goals. An overwhelming sensuality and the desire for self-aggrandisment can be so powerful at times that lust is often mistaken for love, precipitating ill-fated romances founded on physical attraction rather than deep commitment. Like Aphrodite, these people are admired for their attractiveness, independence and affability, yet disdained for their indulgences, provocation, overt sexuality and egocentricity.

The planet's position in the first house also offers a sense of self-importance that, at its most extreme, allows individuals to use their allure to manipulate others and, as a result, get what they want. If positively aspected, Venus in the first house will, like the beloved agrarian fertility Goddess, attempt to grant prosperity and pleasure with the stipulation that she receives loyalty, respect, sexual fulfilment and / or love. If afflicted, the planet will manifest the worst facets of Aphrodite and behave like a spoiled child. People with an afflicted Venus in the first house may be insecure and self-indulgent, and may have difficulty being tactful and diplomatic. They may indulge in lies, manipulation or emotional blackmail to satisfy their own whims and attain a false sense of power. Their quest for constant approval will lead these people to employ their Venus-tinted window to project a loving, beautiful, charming and compassionate image - sincere if Venus is well aspected, but a façade if the planet is afflicted.

Although traditionally this placement has been interpreted as captivating, soft-spoken, friendly and having an affinity for the creative arts, it is just as responsible for indulgent behaviour, laziness and complete self-absorption. Because it is prominent in the horoscopes of individuals drawn to the creative arts, cosmetics, modelling, design, clothing, sales or any friend that utilises seductive charm, this placement was once considered difficult for men who were not 'one of the boys' or who did not actively participate in sports - the outlets for so-called traditional male bonding.

The first house describes our approach to life and the way we come across to others, as well as our physical body. People with Venus in the first house will usually be found physically attractive by others. Even if not conventionally attractive, they will radiate a beauty that draws others to them. This is someone who approaches all social situations and individuals in a friendly way, always seeking to find the common ground between themselves and others. They tend to be popular, with a surface ease in social situations that may belie what goes on at a deeper level. Having Venus in the frist house is like having a very attractive hat to put on whenever you have to interact with others. It works well but does not portray its wearer's entire personality. These people can be over-accommodating, bending over backwards for others and finding it difficult to say 'no'. They are at all times concerned with union; their whole approach to life, people and situations is one which seeks to find the common denominator. They dislike conflict, and try to keep the peace at all times. They put others first, and may neglect their own needs in their attempt to create harmony and make everything all right. They will then get what they want indirectly, through sutble forms of manipulation. To this end, they may use their attractiveness to seduce others, which will ultimately undermine their sense of self-worth. They can be so concerned with being pleasant and never causing offence that no-one gets to know who they really are or what goes on inside them beneath the surface. People with Venus in the first house may come from a background where harmony had to be maintained at all costs. Any discord would thus be highly threatening to them. Their childhood home may have sustained an illusion of everyone in the family getting on well together. In later life, it would be distressing for them to discover the discordant currents beneath the apparent calm. They can become known as easy-going people; and others may come to expect and demand this good-naturedness of them. They can easily become a prisoner of their own good nature; and their lives will then lack genuine intimacy. People with Venus in the first house is likely to be drawn to someone who is also considered highly attractive, with polished social skills. They will be reassured by their partner's popularity and enjoy being associated with someone others like - someone also known for their good-naturedness. If all this begins to sound like a recipe for disaster to deeper relating, it can be, depending on how psychologically damaged the person is in the first place. If this facility with 'the gloss' comes to be something the person relies on too heavily, then life can become a superficial social circus. Someone with a fairly healthy psyche, however, can gain a lot from this placement: a great deal of tact and diplomacy, charm, a gracious bearing and genuine consideration for others.

The first house rules physical appearance, and we have already mentioned that the indidividuals with Venus in the first will be attractive. They are also likely to be concerned and preoccupied with their own attraciveness. If Venus is well-aspected, they will be happy with themselves and their body, but if Venus is in difficulties then their attractiveness may cause them insecurity and unhappiness. Part of their reason for wanting a physically attractive partner may be to bolster their own self-image. This would indicate a lack of separation between them and their partner, as they are then identifying themselves with their partner's good looks. These people need to develop the art of fulfilling their own needs and not compromising themselves, while maintaining their ability to connect with others in agreeable ways.

With this placement, the love nature becomes the most important part of the individual's personality. It leads him, like a carrot in front of a donkey, as he seeks the sensual pleasures and the fondness and acceptance of others. His physical features are softened, and hias manner can appear outwardly gentle. Yet, if the lessons of the Venus Yod in the Sign are not realized, this can be a particularly difficult placement. Rather than perceiving love through his experiences, he tries to reach for the outward appearance of beauty. By doing this, he tends to attract to himself exactly those individuals whose ability to love is superficially physical. As a result, the care and attention he pays to himself in personal grooming, attractive clothing, and all that helps to create a sensual outer image, eventually leads him disappointed as he experiences the external attractions of brief flirtations and momentary interests, without the deep inner sense of love's power for safeness, security and lasting fulfillment. Without knowing what love is, he is anxious to experience it. He will initiate encounters with others, start romances that have little eventual meaning to him, and usually experience a general sense of discontent at the way his life is turning out. Always, his error is the same. If he has not learned the lessons of the Venus Yod in the Sign, he seeks vanity rather than love and he is controlled by his own narcissism rather than true beauty. His sexuality has the undertones of exhibitionism, for his life tends to be something of a show which he must keep generating enough energy to maintain. When he begins to live the consciousness of the Venus Yod, vanity changes to virtue. Rather than reaching for the external appreciation of others, he begins to discover the true beauty in himself. He learns, often thorugh difficult experiences, that he alone is the keeper of his conscience; for only be the achievement of refinement and sincerity does he begin to reach the standards of excellence which bring out the true beauty of his life experience.

Again and again he finds his ethical standards being put to the test, for he must discover the difference between self-indulgence and self-love. When he begins to understand this difference, he realizes that happiness is not a passing impulse, or a momentary excitement, but rather a lifestyle; a continuous identification with person and moral beauty, spiritual virtue and the peace of knowing a clear conscience. Instead of dissipating his energy in the fruitless seeking of momentary gratification, he begins to experience the rapture that only comes through self-mastery. From this, he starts to feel the treasured source of his own real worth. And, as he does, his external experiences become fulfilling, for they are feeding not the momentary impulses of his desires, but rather the consciousness of love to which his being is awakening. This awakening to true self-love puts the individual in touch with his potential for happiness; for he learns that rather than seeking fulfillment through the approval of others, he is the source of all his feelings. It is
