Okay, so yesterday was kinda wild. I was messing around with astrology stuff, you know, just for fun. And I decided, “Hey, let’s see what’s up with Venus in the first house.” I mean, I’ve read about it, but never really dove in, like, REALLY dove in.
First, I pulled up my own chart, obviously. Then I grabbed my girlfriend’s and a couple of my buddies’ charts too. Gotta have a control group, right? I started digging around online, looking for interpretations. There’s a TON of stuff out there, but it’s all so… vague. “Attractive,” “charming,” “loves beauty.” Yeah, yeah, I get it. But what does it mean?
So, I thought, screw it. I’m gonna look at people I know who have this placement and see what patterns emerge. That’s when things got interesting. I started brainstorming: who do I know who’s got Venus smacking them right in the face in the first house?
Turns out, my buddy Mark has it. Mark is… well, Mark is a total sweetheart. Seriously, he’s the kind of guy who remembers everyone’s birthday and always brings the best snacks to parties. He also puts way too much thought into his outfits, always trying to make a statement. Started noticing Mark puts way too much emphasis on appearence.
Then there’s Sarah, this girl I went to college with. Total artist, always covered in paint, but somehow still managed to look effortlessly cool. She has Venus in the first house too. Sarah is the kind of girl who can be friends with anyone. Never afraid to try something new just for the hell of it.
Okay, so what’s the common thread here? It hit me: it’s not just about being “attractive” or “charming.” It’s about a deep need for harmony and beauty in their immediate surroundings and in their interactions with others. Mark needs to express himself through his style. Sarah creates beauty through her art and forms bonds easily.
After I spent 2 hours investigating this small sample, I started to see a pattern. People with Venus in the first house seem to actively curate their image and their environment to reflect their inner values. It’s not about vanity; it’s about expressing themselves authentically and creating a sense of peace and harmony.
Of course, this is just my own little experiment, and maybe I’m totally off base. But it was a fun way to spend an afternoon, and it gave me a new appreciation for the complexities of astrology. I started thinking about how my personal planet placements could affect others.
Anyway, that’s my Venus in the first house adventure. Maybe I’ll tackle Mars next. Stay tuned!
