Mars-Venus Aspects
Mars Conjunct Venus
Is it Love or Is it Lust?
Keywords: passionate, balanced, affectionate
Love -- or is it lust? -- is in the air for the duration of this affectionate, sexy transit. If meeting new romantic partners is the goal, go for it now. Fresh connections bloom into full-blown attachment. Established relationships feel the heat too, in a steamy-window sort of way. Its the perfect combination of loving and sexy, receptive and assertive, so role-playing and even role reversals can lend tremendous excitement to the moment. Cant stop thinking about sex? You wont be the only one, not by a long shot! And everyone seems to be exuding powerful animal magnetism. Its not easy to resist such charm, warmth and eroticism. On a more social level, we arent afraid to act, yet were aware of how we affect others. This helps us to be attentive without being overbearing; affectionate, but not aggressive. Its a great time to apply enormous physical energy to creative or value-building experiences.

Party Time!
Keywords: pleasure, reciprocity, magnetism
What a great time to throw a party or to attend any type of impromptu social event. A good time will be had by all. This transit is much more amenable to play than to work so if possible, take a day or two off from the daily grind. We feel friendly and affectionate today, assertive but not aggressive, and theres plenty of animal magnetism in the air. Just about everyone is in an excellent mood, and were all skillfully making those connections that can seem like such a struggle at other times. Right now, we give and receive with equal skill. Emotional and sexual needs are coordinated to create or enhance successful relationships, especially ones in which physical attraction is already in place. Were in a space to appreciate others' skills and contributions and to let them know about it. For all these reasons, negotiations go very well and diplomacy is certainly a better route than arguments or ultimatums.

Coming on too Strong.
Keywords: passionate, desire-driven, excitable
Desire-driven physical urges can be very strong today, almost irresistible. We tend to do what we want and not think about the consequences until later. We can be overbearing and impatient and come on way too strong. Subverted sexual energy creeps in and can cause inappropriate actions or behavior, and someone could easily get offended. Lets not get ourselves into trouble from lack of discipline. Any arguments we have could reveal where our ego energy is interfering with our ability to relate. If things dont go our way, pouting is not the correct response. Retail therapy isnt the way to go, either; well most likely indulge in something unnecessary and expensive, which wont help us feel any better in the end. If libido is getting the best of us, a passionate rendezvous will help, but dont ruin a perfectly good friendship with an inappropriate sexual encounter.

Love and Be Loved.
Keywords: charming, confident, enjoyable
Life flows very smoothly for these few days, perhaps a little too smoothly. Don't get spoiled; it wont last forever. Just a few days, in fact! This transit helps us get what we want, so we need to be careful to identify what it is we truly want and need! This is a time to love and be loved. Sexual energy runs strong, but so does the need for simple physical affection and emotional connection. Right now were able to find the compromise between the urgent desire for contact and the rules of society. Were both confident and charming, creating the perfect conditions for schmoozing. Calling upon our dynamic inner diplomat will be very effective now, too, as will any efforts toward mediation and compromise. Physical work engaged in creative pursuits is most valuable. Our efforts pay off. Try dancing, even if youre alone. Especially if youre alone!
Mars Opposite Venus
A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.
Keywords: sexual passion, arguments, frustration
Concentrating on work is going to be very difficult for the duration of this sensual transit. Our minds are on the birds and the bees and all the things that make the world go round. I Can't Get No Satisfaction was written for days like these. We feel hot-blooded and sexually frustrated, yet a little bit shy about coming on too strong. Inhibitions can block our passions. Some folks will simply ignore their caution and be overbearing or impatient in matters of love and affection. We may not see eye-to-eye with our partner, whether in business or romance. If a compromise cant be reached, take separate ways for the time being. Remember that controlling others isnt the same as loving them. This is one of those times when it's a thin line between love and hate. Don't permit one person to dominate the other or to project their own faults onto anyone else.
