Venus in house 2

Linen dried on a line in full sun, and the smell of it an hour after you fold it into the drawer. With Venus placed in your second house, the house of what the body owns and counts worth keeping, pleasure for you runs through the senses and through the things you choose to live alongside. Your taste is reliable in a way you rarely give yourself credit for: the right cup, the worn wood, the lamp at the correct height calm you faster than any breathing exercise, and that is a genuine skill, not a vice. Trouble starts the moment buying stands in for being soothed, and you look up to find yourself surrounded by good objects that have stopped feeling like home. Curate, and curate often. Spend on what feeds the senses rather than on what proves you can spend. Cook one meal a week from scratch, buy the better tool once instead of the cheap one twice. The loveliest thing in any room is simply the thing you reach for daily and still love.
