Venus in the 5th House

How Venus works in the 5th house

Love

This placement in the birth chart makes master flirts. Since your youth, you've been perfecting the art of seduction, and when you want to, charming anyone of the opposite sex comes easily. Yet for all your appetite for romance, building a family is one of the biggest goals in your life.

Men with this placement tend to pick a partner for her looks, and women for the man's status. Either way, they see marriage as a partnership that works for both sides. Even through conflicts and trouble at home, they try to hold the family together, and they rarely divorce.

Entertainment

You're picky about how you have fun, and your own tastes and preferences decide it. At events you stay reserved or off to the side, careful not to get swallowed up by the crowd. But whatever the setting, a formal reception or a party, you do your best to look as attractive as you possibly can. And a little subtle flirting is part of the fun for you.

Venus in the 5th house also has a direct link to the fashion and beauty business, so a trip to the salon is a ritual for you, and shopping is a genuine celebration.

A more refined taste, though entirely in keeping with Venus, gives you a fine feel for beauty and harmony and lets you savor art. You may know music, painting, sculpture, and architecture extremely well, and for a favorite pastime, you try your own hand at making something.

In general, Venus gives you a creative, artistic eye for everything, even everyday life. You almost certainly have a gift for cooking, for instance, and you may approach a dish the way a painter approaches a canvas.

Children

Venus in the 5th house promises beautiful, talented children. You look after your kids with care and teach them good taste, good manners, and how to hold a conversation. The children of a mother with Venus in the 5th house usually stand out from the crowd. They're neater and better mannered. Girls learn from an early age to dress beautifully, and boys to carry themselves in public with more restraint and polish.

You try to give your children a well-rounded, balanced upbringing, but parents with this placement most often begin by opening up the world of creativity to their kids.
