Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole astrology thing, and I saw something about Venus in the first house. I was like, “What the heck does that even mean?” So, I decided to dig in and see what it was all about for me, personally.
First, I pulled up my birth chart online. I had to enter my birth date, time, and place. It felt a little weird, giving away all that info, but whatever. The chart popped up, and it looked like a complicated pizza with all sorts of symbols.
I scrolled around and found the little Venus symbol (it looks like the female symbol, a circle with a little cross under it). Then I checked to see which “house” it was in. Houses are basically those pie slices on the chart. Turns out, mine was in the first house. Bingo!

Then, I started, you know, Googling stuff. I typed in “first house Venus” and a bunch of articles and forum posts came up. I skimmed through a few of them, trying to make sense of it all.
From what I could gather, Venus in the first house is all about, like, how you present yourself to the world. It’s supposed to affect your appearance, your charm, and your overall vibe. People with this placement are often seen as attractive, friendly, and maybe a little bit vain (oops!).
I started thinking about how this might apply to me. Do I come across as charming? I don’t know. I asked a couple of my friends what they thought my first impression was. They said things like “nice,” “approachable,” and “stylish.” Okay, maybe there’s something to this.
I also noticed that a lot of the descriptions talked about a love of beauty and aesthetics. And, yeah, I do appreciate a good outfit and a well-decorated room. I definitely spend more time than I should on picking out clothes. And I went through and my insta to see if they mached what the description said, they were pretty on point.
So, after all this digging and self-reflection, I realized that this Venus in the first house thing might actually resonate with me. It’s not like it’s a perfect description, but I can see some of the traits in myself. It was kind of a fun little experiment, and it definitely made me think about how I interact with the world a little differently.
