The Astrology Book

Venus in the Seventh House: You love social life and relationships of all kinds—partners,

marriages, teachers, and such. You are very responsive yourself and value this in others. You

don’t play favorites and are quite impersonal when it comes to your responsibilities.

Venus in the Eighth House: You don’t care much for the superficial. You appreciate getting

past the surface and down to the heart—the bare bones of the matter. This could make you a

very shrewd and discriminating business person. You value passion in a relationship.

Venus in the Ninth House: Your love of truth makes philosophy and religious ideas a lifelong

habit. You appreciate things of a global or universal level and could love to travel. Appear-

ances mean little to you, and you value honesty and candidness in friends and partners.

Venus in the Tenth House: You love large-scale organization, and career or business will

always be close to your heart. Your sense of discrimination when it comes to practical issues is

excellent, and you value clearheadedness in others. You like to work.

Venus in the Eleventh House: You love community projects and group work of any kind.

Your sense of values finds you on the side of altruism and humanism at every turn. You appreci-

ate goals and efforts at the global level.

Venus in the Twelfth House: You can appreciate the difficulties of others and be understand-

ing of the problems they may be having. You value a certain amount of self-sacrifice and a giv-

ing attitude. You can discriminate between superficiality and the reality beneath it.

MARS IN THE NATAL HOUSES

Mars in the First House: You have a strong drive to be seen and known—to communicate

yourself to others. Personal appearance (the way you present yourself) is also a motivating fac-

tor.

Mars in the Second House: You are motivated when it comes to possessions and material

things. An urge to respond, own, and build upon whatever comes your way makes you a natur-

al when it comes to productivity and the business world.

Mars in the Third House: A relentless drive to pursue knowledge, to search, research, and

follow out leads and pointers. You are very motivated when it comes to communications of all

forms—phone, voice, letters, computers, and the like.

Mars in the Fourth House: You are driven to send down roots, dig in, and find the limits of

whatever you are involved in. This urge to be secure always pushes you to always get to the

foundation of things. You are motivated when it comes to home and family.

Mars in the Fifth House: You are driven to excel in any form of physical and creative expres-

sion—sports, theatrics, arts and crafts, whatever. This urge to express yourself, to speak out and

be heard, propels you into many an interesting situation.
