Ascendant Square Venus

Ascendant represents your body, your make-up and how you present yourself and begin things; Venus, what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value.

Venus square the Ascendant softens the expression of self: vanity, indolence, and an attachment to pleasure and to pleasing that may cloud the will. Well lived, it gives a sweetness and taste that captivate.

The square places Venus near the Midheaven or the Imum Coeli. Near the Midheaven, pleasure and image enter the career and appearance may count for too much; near the Imum Coeli, the home becomes a refuge of comfort, at times excessive. Tradition warns against idleness and the wish to please everyone. But Venus is a benefic, and the square does not take her goodness away: it forces it to be chosen. Many with this position make their living from beauty, aesthetics or dealing with the public.
