Venus and Mars aspects

You know within a minute whether there is a spark, and you have never been talked into one.

Venus is what you love and how you attract; Mars is what you want and how you go after it. In every chart they are the two halves of desire, drawing in and reaching out, and an aspect between them joins the halves up. The angle sets how easily.

Venus conjunct Mars

Attraction is strong in you, and so is the urge to act on it. You are passionate, creative and magnetic, and you blend tenderness with boldness. A conjunction like this makes romance and art matters of real appetite.

Venus trine or sextile Mars

Desire flows easily. You know what you like and pursue it gracefully, warm and direct at once, and love, creative work and friendship feel lively without strain. With a trine the charm is natural; a sextile rewards the first move.

Venus square or opposite Mars

Love and desire pull against each other. You want peace and crave excitement, fall for the chase more than the person, or find that passion and quarrels arrive together. The square is a restless push; the opposition a magnetic, push-and-pull attraction to people unlike you. The tension is creative fuel, and in love it makes for chemistry worth the work.
