I wave hello and slap the air. I blow a kiss and my lips squeal. When I touch your shoulder, I squeeze at the muscles…a little massage, a pleasure-grip. Love without friction is just friendship. I dare to show you want I want, eyes sparkling. If my silent magnetism won’t pull you, my passion - leaping towards you, will close the gap. No time to waste, let us get straight to the point, get the blood moving in small flirty jabs - foreplay heightens the game. If we start to combust, we can sever the bond quick, no problem.

VENUS CONJUNCT MARS

An extremely sensual and erotic placement. What we find beautiful and pleasurable moves in tandem with our desire nature. If something attracts us, there is an immediacy to reach out and grab for it, and with Venus the grip is graceful. You see it a lot in the charts of dancers or martial artists (ie: Bruce Lee has this) - Venus helps Mars out to soften the edges of its primal energy, making impulses more fluent and rhythmic. On the flip side, Venus may struggle with Mars’s separating energies. Mars is the hottest planet - it is a force that pulls things apart, and so Mars may make it difficult for Venus to do its peace-loving, relational thing. Those with this conjunction are hot to trot, yet prone to many fits and starts in relationships - either because Mars has an independent streak, or severs ties too easily. Mars-Venus needs a certain level of freedom, excitement and movement in relationships to keep the spark going. In addition, Venus and Mars are two “gender” planets, and so when these planets in cahoots, you’ll find a more androdgynous style.

VENUS TRINE OR SEXTILE MARS

Milk and honey for an artist - beauty in movement, what one finds aesthetically pleasing moves in harmony with their libido. You could call this flow-state, these are very creative people who’s life-energy funnels gracefully into material forms. Acting easily on their values, they are pleasant to get along with, because they know what they want and how to balance conflict and compromise. They keep things interesting - rooted in their bodies, they easily express themselves through physicality. In this way, they can be quite charming and funny - and they aren’t just coursing with charisma, but the electric cables are connected properly to a generator - like the grace of a gymnast sticking the landing. These folks are touchy-feely may have a high sex drive, they appreciate sharing passionate moments wherein their embodied pleasure informs the next action.

VENUS SQUARE OR OPPOSITE MARS

This still holds the same electric magnetism of the planets in harmony, yet it is liable to express itself in accident prone ways. Desire nature is heightened in a frustrating manner, a tension between selfish impulses and getting along with others. These people can often come on too strong, too blunt or accidentally challenge the harmony through over-exertion or harshness. Yes, this is the friend who tells you straight up that you’re outfit sucks. There is a hot-cold vacillation here as well, wanting to smash up against people and also cut loose at the same time. They may find it difficult to moderate their attraction and aversion impulses. What they want and what they find pleasurable can be in discord - for instance; this may manifest as meeting someone who you are sexually compatible with but turned off by their taste in music at the same time - it is hard to hit the nail on the head when it comes to aligning your desires for connection. This tension may manifest in the body as well - feeling off about the gender one was socialized into, or struggling to feel comfortable in wearing certain clothes, etc. Yet, with any Mars-Venus contact, these people are anything but boring - in their attempts to release this rub between discord and harmony, they find a unique and often flashy style of asserting themselves in the world.
