Someone's Venus falls in your 1st house

W

hen someone’s Venus falls in your 1st house, that person probably finds you physically attractive. You are probably this person’s “type.” This is especially true if that person’s Venus is conjunct your ascendant (the more tightly conjunct, the stronger the attraction). The Venus person will like the way you conduct yourself, your behavior, your mannerisms, the way you dress and the way you look. This person will be attracted to the image you present and the way that you package yourself to the world.

This overlay can also indicate an artistic relationship, one in which you have a shared response to art, music and culture. You could be the Venus person’s muse or model. Your appearance might inspire a song, poem, painting, or photograph. The Venus person could feel creatively inspired by your physical presence no matter what your appearance is.

The Venus person brings a harmonizing, pleasant, pleasure-seeking energy to your first house. The Venus person will encourage you to develop grace, charm, and tact. This person will make you feel attractive and encourage you to fit into their version of what it means to be attractive. It’s not a subtle or underhanded coercion as it might be with Venus in the 12th house. It can be as simple as the Venus person exclaiming, “Wow, you look beautiful!” Feeling flattered and genuinely appreciated for the way you look, you decide to do more of the same. The Venus person will inspire you to cultivate more of your first house personality traits.

Although you feel flattered and charmed by the Venus person’s attention, you may wonder if the Venus person likes you only for your looks and if there is anything deeper. You may also feel that the Venus person likes you because you make them look good. This is an overlay that could indicate “trophy spouse.”

LL

Positive

The positive is that the Venus person will make you feel good about the way you look and the way you conduct your life. You feel that they are appreciate your presence in their life. You feel flattered by their attention and they don’t take you for granted.

KK

Negative

The negative is that if the Venus person is selfish and self-serving, they might only care about the way you look and how your looks fit into their life. They like you because you’re their “type” and they may not try to get to know you beyond a surface level.

Your Venus falls in someone's 1st house

W

hen your Venus falls in someone’s 1st house, you may find the 1st house person irresistible. The first house person embodies what you find attractive, especially if your Venus is conjunct their ascendant. There could be an almost literal translation where you see the 1st house person as a living Venus.

You bring Venus energy and Venus expectations to the other person’s first house. You expect the first house person to be attractive in appearance, and charming, pleasing and cooperative in their behavior and attitude. You will find it hard to accept brashness and rudeness from the first house person and may be turned off if the 1st house person displays those traits. If the sign on that person’s 1st house is in conflict with their Sun sign, their looks and surface behavior might be drastically different from the person they are inside, and you may not like who they are on the inside.

You will encourage any artistic inclinations that the 1st house person has. In turn, you will feel artistically inspired by the 1st house person’s presence. Depending on which sign your Venus is in, you will encourage the traits of that sign in the other person. You might be tempted to encourage good behavior, the kind of behavior that you like (shown by your Venus sign), by rewarding that behavior with gifts and flattery.

Venus and the 1st house are both superficial so you might be overly in love with the 1st house person’s appearance. Because this can be an appearance-based attraction, though potent, there needs to be more than physical attraction to hold the relationship together. The tendency for an appearance-based relationship can be true even in friendships. Friends may band together because one likes the other’s taste in clothing, style, music and art eventually to discover that they have nothing deeper to share with one another.

LL

Positive

The positive is that you can you make the 1st house person feel good about themselves. You appreciate their immediate qualities and you’re unlikely to be harsh or critical about how they conduct themselves. You appreciate their presence in your life.

KK

Negative

The negative is that you might overly focus on how the first person looks and dresses as if they were an actor in your life instead of a real person. You might not have enough interest in getting to know them at a deeper level, which can make the first house person feel that their relationship with you is somewhat superficial.
