I like to think of the house your Venus is in as "what's beautiful in your life." Venus is like the gift package that is given to you when you were born, free of charge - unlike the gift packages of Saturn and Pluto, which you don't get to open until later in life, once you've worked for them. I perceive the house your Venus is in as what comes easily in your life. It may also be an area of your life that you romanticize.
My Venus is in the fourth house, the house of childhood and family. I have an extremely peaceful, harmonious relationship with my immediate family. I have honestly never had any major problems with my parents or sister, and am in fact quite close to them, especially my mother. And I have nothing to say when my friends are complaining about their parents, because I literally have nothing to complain about.
As for the romanticizing part, I'm also very interested in my family history, and I love hearing stories about how my parents or grandparents met. I've also found a lot of poetry/cards/mixtapes my parents or grandparents have given to each other, and thought "Aww, that's so romantic."
Two of my friends have Venus in the first house. I always have a little trouble interpreting first house planets, as I feel so much of it is external and it's hard for me to get to the internal, but these two friends of mine are both quite naturally beautiful. They also both have a pretty distinct style and enjoy fashion. I think that beauty and style has always come pretty easily to both of them. Haven't read that much about Venus in the first, though, so I'm not exactly sure what else it could indicate.
And all that rambling is just about the houses. Venus signs are even further coolness. But I'll wait for someone to add their thoughts on houses before I get into that. xD

I agree with this, very much! For myself, I have Venus Conjunct my Midheaven (though technically it's still in the 9th House) in Aries. I think this really effects how I am towards people, because at work I will stay hours late, and come in hella early (at like 6:30 am ew) to make sure everything is done to absolute perfection. I'm always helping people get their stuff done and ready too. Also, I want to help the world and bring understanding and blah blah (hell my about me on AstralTwelve just screams Venus Conjunct Midheaven lmfao)

Calli, your description sounds very Virgo-like, to me ! Do you associate Venus with perfectionism and helping people ? I also agree with Selene, on everything she wrote. c: I have a 12th house Venus in Gemini, at first I was completely lost with the interpretation because Gemini and the 12th house are so not ... Compatible ? Haha. But now, I'd say that Venus gives me facility in understanding (gemini) subconscious (12th house) feelings or symbolism, abstract symbols. And well, see, I'm very much into cartomancy, astrology and even palmistry which need intuitive understanding, I believe.

I think in a Way, it is. I think Venus is about love and helping and beauty - all of which, in certain lights, can turn into perfectionism and helping others!

My Venus is in the 11th house, in Scorpio. I don't feel friendship comes especially easy for me -lots of manipulative friends- as I commented in the Pluto thread since my Pluto is in the 11th house as well :c Venus in Scorpio on itself is not an easy placement though.

I have Venus in the 10th House, in Scorpio. I also have Sun, Mercury, Venus, MC and lots of other aspects in the same place. I guess for me, friendship comes really easily. People often say that I have a magnetic personality and they can never get enough of me, and every person I talk to tells me how charismatic I am, etc. But the problem is that I don't get really attached to people, I can talk to someone for hours, treat them really nicely and create a "friendship" but I don't really feel anything for them. It's not like being heartless, I do treat them as if they're my best friends, but then when I leave I don't even think of them, I also treat everyone nicely, so, it's not like I want to do it, it's like I have to do it. But then, there are only a few people who are really important to me and in this aspect, it's totally different. I have only one real friend which is a Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon and I really open up to her. When I'm with other people or even my family, I do not show any sadness when I'm sad, or any bad feelings, only when I'm angry. Other than that I'm always "fine", I guess it's the Scorpio thing of not letting people see our weaknesses. But with my best friend I let things out and show all my emotional Scorpio side. I guess, as Os said, Venus in Scorpio isn't easy. After all, if you can make "friendships" easily but don't feel anything for your "friends", what's the point? I guess it has something to do with the Scorpio's suspicious side as I can never really trust anyone or count on them, so, it's hard to make real friendships when you have so many aspects in Scorpio, we're way too complicated.

Yeah, I feel ya on that. It definitely is a Scorpio thing. There are very few people I call my "friends," and even out of those people, most of them I don't really truly consider my friends, I just call them that because we hang out a lot and I like them well enough. But I don't trust them. And there are really only two people who I consider true friends, but even them I don't feel totally comfortable opening up to. And I've realized that it's strange that I've known them for years, but they really don't actually know too much about me, even though they might think they do. Which is my own fault because I feel so uncomfortable with talking about myself. I don't have Venus in Scorpio, but hell, the sun is enough. I can only imagine what it's like to have both sun and Venus in Scorpio. Must be pretty intense.

I can only imagine what it's like to have both sun and Venus in Scorpio. Must be pretty intense. You got it right, that's exactly how I feel! I'm just so relieved to see that it really is a Scorpio thing, at least now I'm sure it's "normal" for us. I understand how you feel 'cause that's exactly how I feel too, even with my family I'm like that. It's kind of easy to have a relationship like that as my "friends" are always talking about themselves and I'm there just listening, commenting and giving advices, but I never really tell them much about myself too. In example, some days ago I was talking to some people and we were talking about astrology, I asked everyone's sign and we started talking about their signs, but they were so overwhelmed in their own talk that they even forgot to ask my sign, and of course I didn't make a big deal of it. I like to keep my sign as a secret as if people know we're Scorpios they often try to "protect" themselves, lol. So, it's better to keep it a secret as they're going to trust us more. My kind of relationships are like yours, my friends do trust me, they think they know me and all, but I'm the one who knows everything about them, but yet I don't trust any of them at all. This Gemini friend I have, I only open up to her for 2 reasons: 1º- I need it, as you all know I have 3 planets in Scorpio, MC, lots of asteroids and so many other aspects, so it basically means I'm a deep and intense person. So, sometimes I need to "breakdown" in a form of releasing the emotions, you know. And 2º reason: My friend lives in Australia, and I live in Brazil, we talk to each other by internet. So, it means she doesn't know anyone of my family. This way I feel safe telling her things as she can't use it agaisnt me Other than that, I've never had any true friend in real life, and I believe it's because of these Scorpio trust issues. As you said, it is very intense to have so many Scorpios in my chart, but thankfully my Capricorn moon/rising makes me seem a bit cold and stronger. And that's the main thing to me, be emotional inside but strong outside, such a great combo!

As you said, it is very intense to have so many Scorpios in my chart, but thankfully my Capricorn moon/rising makes me seem a bit cold and stronger. And that's the main thing to me, be emotional inside but strong outside, such a great combo! Damn, that's exactly how I feel. I'm not sure if some of my friends realize how much they talk about themselves, and how little information I divulge, but the thing is that I don't mind them talking about themselves. I don't want to talk about myself. And I'm so obsessed with astrology and figuring out people's birth chart information so I can psycho-analyze them, but I back the hell up if anyone ever tries to find out anything about me. I mean, whenever my friends bring astrology up, and tell me whatever they read about their sign on the Internet, I'll jump right in and tell them my opinion on their sign, but I never say, "Yeah, and I'm a Scorpio, and Scorpios are like this!" One time my Capricorn friend, who's a newbie to astrology, was joking around about how "emotional" Cancers are (there are a lot of them in her life), and then out of nowhere she was like, "Wait, what's your sign?" She said this after many, many conversations between us discussing Capricorns, Cancers, and even her giving me a link to her full birth chart. We'd discussed her astrology so much and this was literally the first time she even thought about asking me, because I never bring it up. I told her my sign, and she was like "Yeah, that's what I thought, I was just checking" (and she probably did know, because I've certainly mentioned it, but I just never go into detail). I don't want her, or anyone else, to go looking up information on Scorpios or asking me about my birth chart. 'Cause I'd never in a million years show it to my friends. XD So yeah, that was super-rambling, but the point is that it's definitely a Scorpio thing to know everything about everyone and yet to have nobody know a thing about you. I have a close Libra friend who I don't see a lot. She asks me about myself a lot when I do see her, and most people don't, and it really unnerves me. I'm never sure what to say to her. But I totally understand the feeling of needing someone to have emotional outbursts in front of. There is a part of me that truly does want to talk about myself, but I usually just feel like there's nobody in my life that's ready to handle the full me.

My Venus is in Scorpio and I am one sad SOB when it comes to intimacy.
When I was a kid I had a diary that I wrote about my daily life in. Seems normal, but I was incredibly paranoid about it. I would keep moving it, hiding it, creating fake names for people and scratching things out. My diary daze finally ended when I heard from my parents that there was a severe storm approaching where we lived. I had nightmares about the roof coming off my house, my diary flying into the street and someone reading it(very practical). I couldn't deal with it anymore, so I ended up burning the entire thing and vowing never to write anything personal down ever again.

My Venus is in Aries, and my biggest issue is completely idolizing my partner. If I like someone, they are the most amazing and perfect thing in the entire world. This kinda gets me stuck in pretty shitty relationships every now and then. ">_>

It's because Venus is in Detriment in Aries. xD Venus rules Libra, so in it's opposite Sign, things are all sorts of weird. Venus in Aries is all "LOOK I'M AWESOME, LIKE ME" and has a bad habit of falling in and out of crushes all the time (total opposite of Libra/Venus's nature). It's also easily influenced by other Natal Chart placements and Aspects to Venus.

Having a Scorpio partner with Aqua moon is such a struggle but I always say, what can i do, he is a scorpio, he is living by his sign. i feel like he is too perfect even though i know he is not. he the worst and the best at the same time.
