What Venus in the 2nd House Means
Venus in the 2nd House finds her natural domicile. In traditional Western astrology, Venus rules Taurus, the natural ruler of the 2nd House, making this an exceptionally fluent placement.

According to Hellenistic astrology, when a planet sits in its own house of joy, it operates at full strength.
