However, if you know what you like and value, then, on obtaining it, there is no one more likely to truly enjoy what you have. This basket of goods may or may not be what you really enjoy. Having Venus in the 2nd House, if you do not know for yourself what is valuable to you, then you will obtain what others (or what society) deems is for your own good. This process of judging in order to acquire requires that you have a clear understanding of your own value system. You first determine what is good (or what is best) for your benefit and then you attract these things to you. With Venus in the 2nd House, the psyche's capacity to take in and evaluate impressions is particularly at home. Even your relationships tend to be oriented more toward practical concerns. Physical security needs and comfort are the focus of the 2nd House and the evaluative functions symbolized by Venus tend to be employed in acquiring and enjoying what you need and value. When placed in the 2nd House, the evaluative and absorbing functions associated with Venus tend to be emphasized over its association with relationship. Venus in the 2nd House is generally a favorable placement for Venus, since Venus rules the 2nd House. If anyone asks you to commit to a relationship (or to a permanent set of values of any sort) or tries to become too deep and intimate with you, you are likely to feel threatened and push them away. Driven by a fear that commitment to a single relationship will fatally limit your freedom to bond with anyone at any time, with Venus in Gemini, you tend to stay aloof from all commitments as a defense mechanism and avoid depth in a relationship. You are too insecure in your selfhood to give yourself away to another.

Having Venus in Gemini, you need to feel a sense of freedom and you fear that the loss of your freedom will deprive you of a central value upon which you have based the validity of your selfhood. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Gemini-associated traits. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Gemini, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Gemini. Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. With Venus in Gemini, the relationship functions symbolized by Venus tend to be more pronounced in your psyche and personality than is the case for most people. The basic harmony inherent in the Venus in Gemini placement is symbolized by the natural trine between Gemini and Venus-ruled Libra, while the tension is symbolized by the conflict between the free-moving air of Gemini and the stable and enduring qualities associated with Taurus, which is also ruled by Venus. However, this may not be conducive to building stable relationships and value systems. With Venus in Gemini, Gemini is the Mutable Air sign and here the Venusian energies symbolically become light and free in Gemini’s changeable air environment. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Gemini are a result of your need for freedom from restraint in relationships and in the operation of a value system, as well as the mental energy with which you engage these areas of life.

This placement also symbolizes an approach to those functions symbolized by Venus that is mental in nature. This sometimes manifests as an ambivalent attitude toward commitment. The placement of Venus in Gemini indicates that you have a need for flexibility and freedom, both within your relationships and in the way in which you formulate your value system.
