Venus in the 2nd house
Venus in the 2nd house loves good things and knows what they are worth. Your taste is excellent, your senses are keen, and you earn and spend with pleasure in mind.
You can tell real silk from fake by touch, and you have done it in a shop without looking.
Your second house is the house of money, possessions and what you value, the house of Taurus, one of the two signs Venus rules, and Venus, your sense of pleasure and value, was in it when you were born. Venus is comfortable here. Love, for you, has a texture you can touch.
Quality
You would rather have one beautiful thing than ten ordinary ones, and you look after what you own: the leather oiled, the linen pressed, the plants watered. Good food, good fabric and good sound matter to you, and you are not ashamed of it.
Money and love
Money comes to you through things you enjoy: beauty, art, hospitality, anything that makes life more pleasant. You are generous when you love someone, and you show love with gifts chosen so well they are kept for life.
Too much of a good thing
The risk is comfort spending: buying something to lift a mood that a walk would have lifted. And you can measure love by what is given rather than what is meant.
Before a treat, wait a day, and buy it only if you still want it.
Gifts that last
Somewhere, people you love are still using something you gave them years ago, and thinking of you when they do.

The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have Venus in different houses.
