Venus in House 3
Venus represents what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value. House 3 is the house of the everyday and the close at hand: brothers and sisters, neighbours, short journeys and practical learning. It's the stuff of daily life — the conversations and the first lessons in things.
In the third house — of brothers, of neighbours and of short journeys — Venus is found in a cadent house, with its accidental strength diminished, far from the angles. It turns toward close kindred and the neighbourhood: toward brothers and sisters, toward small journeys and the commerce of daily life. It inclines to concord among brothers, to affection for those nearby, and to making the short trips and dealings pleasant; it gives good neighbourliness, peace among close blood and pleasure in the comings and goings. It gives too a taste for light letters, for errands and for the pleasing word that unites those who live nearby. The star of sweetness, set in this place, harmonises the daily company and sweetens the bonds of brotherhood, making of the kinsman a companion of pleasure. But the strength with which this is fulfilled, and whether the bonds prove serene, depends on the state of the star here.
