VENUS IN ARIES

Blunt and passionate - you know where a Venus in Aries stands. They are either coming at you with a clear desire to connect or running off somewhere, happily alone. When they do feel the thrumming of love, they don’t waste time, they jump to the occasion and are often the ones to spark the conversation or ask people out on a date. In a Mars ruled sign, these folks assert their desires fiercely and may feel the spark of love fill them up FAST or not at all. This can come off as aggressive or pushy sometimes - Venus in Aries just wants what they want.

Even though Aries is a sign that initiates, it doesn’t always have staying power - and so you may find Venus here expressing love in fits and starts, feeling excited about the early stages of connection but losing enthusiasm as the new relationship energy wears off - this of course is dependent on the rest of their chart. If someone has a Venus in Aries but the chart is extra Saturnian - they may have some staying power, yet their Venus in Aries will need regular movement or novelty within the ecosystem of their chosen commitments.

Venus is said to be in its DETRIMENT in Aries, because Venus is a planet that wants to accommodate, compromise and find harmony with others, wherein Aries is self-concerned sign that loves to provoke, separate from the herd and orient itself towards a personal goal. This can create scenarios where an independent streak severs their bonds, or makes it hard for them to be available for the deeper, slower, thoughtful accommodations that secure attachment is built upon. In this way, a Venus in Aries might need a lot of space in a relationship, and can feel threatend by any connection that holds them back from expressing their self-sufficiency and autonomy. Sometimes you’ll find these folks more comfortable in long distance relationships, or ones where they get they live separately and come together after enjoying their own time alone.

Wherever Venus struggles to bond here, is made up for in fun. Venus in a fire sign knows how to light up a room, and a Venus in Aries has their eyes on fire, perpetually filled with young excitement - they can be great adventure buddies and also seek this spice and wiley-ness in their partners - their goal in relationship is often to share fun and exciting experiences together and to inspire each other to be more brave and risky in the world.
