Venus in Aries
Venus is in detriment in Aries: love is direct, impatient and pursued rather than received. Attraction is quick, the chase is the pleasure, and Venus here wants a partner who is a match rather than a mirror. Taste runs to the bold and the new. Affection can burn fast. The work is to stay once the winning is done, and to find the pleasure in being chosen.
| Venus signifies | love, value, pleasure |
|---|---|
