Venus is the most beneficial planet after Jupiter, and the house where it is placed is usually blessed and prosperous, offering to the native the best traits that it can give. When Venus is located in the 1st house, the house of the self, its effects can be noticed not only in the native’s life but also on his body and general appearance.

^What's the degree? My understanding is that any time venus conj. ascendant, it is either in the 1st or 12th house or an overlap of the two. The closer it is to the asc, the more it expresses itself in the 1st house.

I have mine at the end of the 1st house, bleeding into the 2nd, so my venus is expressed in both houses. A lot of what was written in the article resonates with me, especially the part about mixing ego and possessions. Happiness and self worth are sought through acquisition of wealth and material things.
