Someone who only hangs out with people who makes them look good, date/befriends/marries someone based only on their looks?

I think having moon and Venus in masculine signs at the southern part if the chart (from Libra to Aquarius).

Having a sensitive planet like Venus, moon, or sun there can result in that.

Also, the houses that are public and southern (7,9,10,11) and having feminine planets and the sub there can cause someone to be shallow.

I have both moon and Venus in libra, 7th house. But because my Saturn in Aries opposes them both, I have the potential of being shallow yet I can't be because of Saturn blocking these two planets. I wish I had a social life and all, but I don't and I think that's one of the lessons in life for me.

Another one is Sag (Scorpio Mars, Cam Venus). He's friendly to everyone, but his friends/girlfriends are all from upscale neighborhood. They hardly have anything in common, but status is more important.

These are my 2 examples from top of my head, but both of them have Cap placements.

Wait... Are you saying that planets don't exalt in any sign?

If that's your argument then just don't.. please. I don't even wanna argue with you.

I really hate to answer this in place of PisceanDream (I hope you won't mind), but no, that is not what is being said. S/he is saying that the way you in particular interpret what it means for Venus to be exalted is improper and also that if that is the method you use to interpret other planets that are exalted, then those interpretations would also be wrong.

I understand why you'd mention 2nd house, but Venus/Asc square Jupiter... I think, it gives an opposite quality. I have it, and I never judge people, especially based on their appearance or status. I've friends from all walks of life, age, race, gender and orientation. Venus/Asc makes a person friendly/charming, while square to Jupiter makes those traits even stronger.

Just because a planet is exalted, doesn't mean that they find those things the most important. Planets in signs form the subconscious personality of the person, not necessarily what they find valuable or important. Now this can manifest to liking/disliking certain things because they have a certain placement and it complements it's lifestyle, but this doesn't mean that those things mean more to her than other, more important things in life.

Now if this person had a Venus aspecting Mercury or Jupiter (like a conjunction, for example, since it's a significant aspect), then they might find those things associated with Venus important, since the planet of understanding and discernment; Mercury, is aspecting their Venus, so it will color the intellect by making the individual understand that looks are important for Natural Selection, societal standards, etc. Or wealth because that will then determine the probability of a higher education and thus, a good career or occupation, etc. (Or anything else that Venus represents). Or if Jupiter; the planet of Philosophy and meaning is aspecting Venus, than they may place higher value among the things associated with Venus.

Anyway, besides the point I'm even trying to make; Venus in it's own signs (Taurus and Libra) would manifest in Venus's natural qualities like you were saying more so than Pisces, as Venus is not directly associated with Pisces. Exalted planets do not function naturally like domicile planets, but rather in way to complement the planet's energy to function efficiently and balanced, and in the best way that certain planet can work for the individual. A strong, natural planet (domicile) isn't always the best thing to have, as it is making the planet unbalanced, due to it's strength.

A quick Google search showed this:
"VenussquareoppositionJupiter
Venus square or opposition Jupiter
These people are big-hearted and warm, with open hearts and a tendency to want to give a lot to the people they love. They can have some problems with following through on their promises, however--not because of any ill intent, but because they sometimes overestimate their personal capabilities, and want to do more, and give more, than is actually possible."

Well, that's just stereotyping but for some, it's true.

Maybe I am shallow, but I don't want to hang out with ugly people. But the people I consider ugly, may not be to others.

As for the actual question (as the one I answered I realized wasn't actually the thread's question), I don't believe I know someone who ONLY cares for looks. I mean, I find the physicality of the person a very important factor in my decision if I find them attractive to me, but it is not the only thing at all (I am not going to list all the things I find attractive, as that it irrelevant to the topic). It makes sense why the physical appearance of the person is very important to other people in terms of scientifically anyway, so you cannot blame people for that. So I would prefer to use the term for those people who "only" go for looks as more "primitive", than "superficial". Because they can't see past the reality that looks (when only considering the looks of a person to find them attractive or not) aren't really as important as they are perceived by not only the subconscious brain (primitive to not see past looks only), but to the world in general (superficial to go with what the world thinks as the standard of physical beauty).

My first guess would be a configuration of afflicted inner planets, something that really hits at feelings of worthlessness, and this finding an out in H7.

The guiding thought that you need to keep in mind is that, per the definition, this person isn't looking for what THEY like, but for what they think OTHER PEOPLE value. So for a man, he might really be into cute, short girls that are great nurturers and nice to cuddle, but he will only date tall, thin career-oriented models, because that's what seems to get him positive validation from those he's trying to impress.
