Venus in Aries Natal Chart

History of Venus

Venus represents femininity, love, relationships, harmony, pleasure, and all things beautiful. 

Let’s explore the mystery and intrigue that is Venus and see if we can shine some light on ourselves and the power of the most influential aspect of human existence. Love. 

An interesting fact about Venus, it was actually the first planet we visited in our solar system. In our modern culture, the first thing we think of when we meet a person, is their level of attractiveness or lack thereof, and begin to subconsciously treat them accordingly. 

Venus throughout the signs represents the way we interpret  love. Our Venus placement explains how we show love, how we prefer to receive love, and who we’d prefer to receive that love from. Serious compatibility reports aren’t complete without an explanation of our Venus placement and the synergy between ours and our partners. This placement also affects our style of socializing or anti-socializing, as well as our love of the arts and the overall harmonious nature of our very existence. 

Venus in Aries is an intense placement to say the least. When you combine the energy and vivacity of Aries with the power and intensity of Venus you get a combination for the ages. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and you can expect this to play out in this placement as sure as the sky is blue. 

You can think of Aries as the rambunctious young adult of the zodiac. Aries is a headstrong, optimistic, energetic sign with lots of ideas and not enough time to do them in. Aries moves in a hurried demeanor; usually head leaning forward bumping into things, and people, on their way to whatever has them preoccupied in their head and excited at the moment. 

These people have a tendency to be combative if they aren’t getting their way; and they’ve been known to enjoy it.

These characteristics and many others play out in their love lives as much as they do in their personalities.  

Dating someone with this placement

Aries wants to be first in love. That means Aries expects to be treated like royalty by their partner so show them you care, and you’ll get the same in return. Because Aries is a fire sign, passion and exclusivity play a role in their love lives and you can expect the same in return if you find yourself dating someone with this placement. 

If you really want to hook someone with this placement, play hard to get. If you give the Ram a challenge, they’ll have no other choice but to rise to the occasion and step their efforts up in their pursuit. As the old saying goes, “what you do to get a person is what you have to do to keep them” so if you’re dating someone with this placement, never fully give in to their charm and overwhelming display of energy they put into the pursuit as they will lose interest and find the challenge somewhere else. That could prove to be a difficult task; once they get going, they’re honed in on their target and affective. It’s almost like a military campaign to them. 

It’s ok to give in sometimes and give them a little encouragement but keep them on their toes and you’ll reap the rewards of a focused and dedicated partner.

This placement is also adventurous and rambunctious so you’re going to have to keep up with all this energy and desire to take on the world and explore. Be creative in the things you come up with for you guys to do and make sure they have an element of adventure to them. This is the time for you two to grow closer and learn more about each other and strengthen the bond that brought you guys together in the first place. 

You’re going to need patience if you’re dating someone of this placement. The do now think later approach this placement brings to dating could lead to some sticky situations that will leave you feeling as if you’re being played but don’t take it personally. This placement’s philosophy on love doesn’t include hurting people intentionally, sometimes things happen. 

This placement is extraverted, charming, and energetic and that attracts a lot attention and leads to regular doses of temptation. Their popular, they enjoy the attention, and they don’t see anything wrong with it. Don’t look for that to change.  

If you can learn to appreciate this placement’s adventurous nature and forgive the occasional wondering eye, you have the makings for an interesting relationship. At the very least, you’ll learn a lot about yourself and discover things you never would have, had you not met your partner.

Having this placement

If you’re the person with this placement, be careful with people’s hearts. Being intensely interested all of a sudden and losing interest the same way a fire is lit and extinguished is natural for you, but confusing for others.

The way you come on when you meet a person, you easily sweep them off their feet and leave their heads spinning and they’re going to want to hold on to that so before you leap, try to give it a little thought. You also have a tendency to over indulge in pleasurable activities because of your dominating energy, once you start getting your way you develop an appetite for more and more so try to keep that in mind. 

Also, watch out for your appetite for a challenge. When a potential partner doesn’t seem interested, you have a tendency to turn the heat up for the thrill of the hunt but sometimes, no actually means no. Your spirits in the right place and one day that persistence will land you a mate you’ll feel like is out of your league but until then, try not to get into any trouble in the name of a good pursuit. 

Your most compatible Venus combinations are with Venus in Scorpio, Aries, Sagittarius, and Cancer. Keep in mind, other aspects in your natal chart can intensify these combinations or make them more troublesome. Happy hunting.
