Venus and Mars have entered Aquarius!

 

Expect a major energy shift now that Venus and Mars have ditched the sign Capricorn and moved into Aquarius March 5^th-April 5th (Venus) and 15th. (Mars) Venus has been in Capricorn since early November due to its six week retrograde.  The planet of love and money will ented this sign just 7 minutes after action planet Mars enters Aquarius and the two planets that rule our love life will be conjunct or together for the next several days  and very close together the entire month of March. The last time Mars and Venus danced together in Aquarius was December of 2016.

Since Venus and Mars are in the same sign the next four weeks can present new opportunities for those looking to meet someone special. Libra or those born under a Libra ascendant could benefit in particular as both Venus and Mars will transit their 5^th house of love increasing opportunities to meet someone new. Other signs that could benefit include Leo, Aries, Gemini and Sagittarius.

While Venus was in Capricorn the energies was focused on practical responsibilities concerning love, work and money, and Capricorn is not a light hearted sign. Venus in Aquarius is unpredictable if not changeable as Aquarius is ruled by both Saturn and Uranus, the planet of unexpected change. Aquarius is a fixed Air sign so energy moves more slowly and can be resistant to change. Air signs bring a logical and detached approach to matters and operate from this basis rather than an emotional one. Aquarius is steadfast in terms of protecting individuality and does not change to follow trends, fads or the latest rage unless it is convinced this presents a better opportunity for all.

Words that describe Aquarius include humanitarian, quirky, freedom loving and eccentric. During this transit of Venus we can expect to operate from a more idealistic point of view and put friendships first before romance or love. Communication may not be especially romantic and could seem much more detached.

Freedom is all important to Venus Aquarius. You may not want to be confined or feel too tied down and may be more open to unusual friendships and hanging out with people who are different from your usual social circle. You will be interested in ideas outside the box, forming your own opinions, and more interested in making new friendships with unusual people.

With Venus and Mars in this sign we desire new experiences and the heart often desires more space to roam. The drive for more freedom can take many different forms including the right to be exactly who we are as tolerance is one of Aquarius’s greatest gifts. It’s all up to you how far you take this energy. This Venus placement can be highly social with a bent toward new experiences. You may find that you gravitate toward unusual individuals who are different from the norm and unorthodox experiences.

We will experience a month of moving away from what is tried and true to make room for the new, the unusual and the experimental.  Unusual relationships may seem the norm for this time.

Venus in Aquarius can’t stand to be bored. Aquarius is a highly social sign that likes to experiment with and experience the untried, unusual and different types of friendships, relationships and social experiences. Venus Aquarius is the time to get out, mingle and exchange conversation and ideas with others and stretch your thinking.

We don’t have to go solo with the Venus in this sign and are typically happy to be a part of a group as long as we don’t have to conform to group norms or lose our own identities in the process.  So go ahead, be yourself and have some fun. Aquarians make great, albeit at times quirky friends.

On a global level we can expect this sign to bring about a greater interest in humanity, personal freedoms and those trapped in the war in Ukraine. Aquarius is also connected with wars and explosive actions so we will see many unpredictable twists and turns as the month goes on.

Now will be the time to chill out from all of the heavy Capricorn energy that began in 2021 and then took a detour with the Venus retrograde. Relax, and take the time to view the world and your social life from a different perspective and you will make the best possible use of Venus and Mars in Aquarius. Most of all get in touch with what you really want and don’t be afraid to take a different approach.
