Planets in signs and houses
Venus in Aries
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
You love directly and with enthusiasm. You enjoy the thrill of the chase and fall for people quickly. Courage and honesty attract others to you, and you dislike drawn-out games. The challenge is boredom once the first excitement fades, and putting yourself ahead of your partner. Keep things fresh by doing activities together, and practise listening to what the other person wants a little longer.
Venus in a birth chart
Venus is the planet of attraction and value. It describes what and whom you love, how you give and receive affection, what you find beautiful and what you consider worth having. It also shows how you create harmony and how you handle pleasure and money in a gentle, non-technical sense.
Aries at a glance
- Element
- Fire
- Modality
- Cardinal
Sun in Aries sits in the very first sign of the zodiac, in cardinal fire ruled by Mars. Where other signs prepare, you begin. There is a clean, direct quality to how you meet the world: you tend to find out what you think by acting on it, and you feel most alive when something is at stake and the starting line is in sight. Your energy arrives in bright bursts, and it runs on genuine motivation rather than obligation.
