This Sunday morning, the divine feminine caps off her Saturday night by catching up with the divine masculine she’s been pursuing, and taking him home with her for a sexy romp. At least, that’s one way to look at the conjunction of Venus and Mars in Aries that has been heating up all week, exact at 12:58 am EDT Sunday.
This conjunction could actually be a little trickier than some instances of Venus and Mars hooking up, because it’s happening in a sign Mars rules — and where Venus is not generally thought to express herself best or easily.
Venus in Aries can be very forthright in matters of desire, but then struggle with things like empathy that give love and sexual exchange their gentler, more generous side. Be on the watch for that trend in yourself.
In fact, this conjunction could play out as a competitive situation of some kind — ultimately pointless. If there is a ‘winner’ and a ‘loser’ in sex or love, you’re playing the game wrong.
If a situation in your life starts feeling testy, pushy or like some kind of contest, stop and ask, who is competing for what, exactly? This weekend, anyone getting competitive is likely to lose the very game they want to win. If you want to move things forward over these next few days (whether in love or anything else, really), avoid competitive people and seek out the cooperative ones. Eric has pointed out that these people “are most likely to be the ones who know what to do with a mystery, with the unknown, and who are comfortable making changes.”
Another word for this kind of person might be ‘playful’. Mysteries, the unknown and change all ask for our curiosity; some of the most fun you can have is when you let your childlike curiosity lead the way. This is especially true in sex, love and any other sincere, open avenue for getting to know another person. Especially someone you desire.
