Read your horoscope for Venus in Aries
Venus likes it hot
The astringent tonic of Venus in Aries excites, enlivens, and awakens the senses.
Opposite its airy home of Libra, Aries is a sign where Venus is considered to be in detriment. Notes of discord are part of its charm, however.
Here, Venus’ alarm disturbs any creative inspirations that may have fallen under a slumbering spell, and helps us to barrel head first towards the rose patches of pleasure. Are there thorns awaiting? Sure. Does Venus in Aries care? Only as much as it loves the textures that others might consider taboo.
Venus has spunk to spare in the sign of the ram. It disarms naysayers through its infectious enthusiasm. However, since Venus will be here from May 2nd – May 28th, use these days to count to ten (or 1000), before rushing in where fools fear to tread.
Key dates to keep in mind
On May 5th, as Venus and Mercury trade love notes via a sextile. It’s time to announce your bravest desires. Whether you’re telling your person what you want, what you really really want, or identifying these yearnings for yourself, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Venus’ counsel with Saturn on May 24th, also via a supportive sextile, will help you create the structure, boundaries, and systems that sustain your heart’s sparks. A lit match is a beautiful thing, but it will curl into nothingness without a sturdy temple of kindling. It might be worth considering the social dimension of your passion project too.
Finally, Venus squares off with Pluto on May 26th: a horn-lock, friction forming square. In the event of power plays, or shadow boxing remember that you always have the choice to pause. The only baggage you are meant to carry is your own, and maybe it’s time to put that down too.
