Venus square Mars: Those who want to be sweet and those who want to win grab the steering wheel

4 min read

When the atmosphere is sweet, the momentum steps in to disrupt the situation: Venus square Mars puts Venus’s pleasure and Mars’s momentum to put pressure on each other. The moments of wanting to be sweet and wanting to win often collide.

Indicative chart: Venus and Mars are 90 degrees apart and form a square. The two planets are at right angles to each other. The tension lies between expression and action.Schematic, not a real chart

The core of Venus square Mars: one sentence version

square is a right angle in the hard aspect: Venus wants relationships and harmony, Mars wants advancement and victory; both ends mostly fall into the same sign with different elements, but share the same engine. It is easy for the two ends of this grid to interfere with each other - but if the tension is in the right position, your pleasure has firepower and your opinions are measured, the output is often higher than either end alone.

What do the two planets want?

What Venus wants is proximity: good atmosphere, mutual appreciation, and being treated well by the world. What Mars wants is to take action: if there is a target in front of you, go out and get it. 90 degrees squeezes two things into the same output pipeline - when you work hard for the relationship, Mars is anxious beside you; when you fight for yourself, Venus is worried that your posture is too tough. The result is often that the same force is spinning between the two sets of goals, leaving neither end satisfied.

The feeling of hard aspect: three specific scenes

  1. The more you try to maintain a good atmosphere, the more thorny your words will be, and you will have to spend twice as much effort to make up for the ending.
  2. I want to show enthusiasm to the person I like, but it comes out like a competition - I obviously want to get closer, but the other person takes half a step back.
  3. If you want to enjoy something thoroughly, switch into the rush mode halfway through, and the pleasure level will return to zero on the spot.

Immature version and mature version

The immature square allows the two systems to deduct points from each other: if you go to the extreme to please, you will turn over the table, and if you are done, you will blame yourself; if you do something happy, you must be efficient, and both parties will scrap it together. The mature version uses 90 degrees as a corrector - practice speaking out your needs directly in the relationship and not letting Mars speak for you through conflict; calculating the cost before taking action and not causing internal friction in what you like. When sweetness and fire are present at the same time, the bar is exhausted.

Orb and priority: 90 degrees, natal convention within 6 degrees

natal’s squareorb is at 6 degrees. The two planets are at right angles to each other. Friction and correction occur almost simultaneously. The closer the degrees are, the more frequent the moments of pricking. In terms of sorting, it and the position belong to the backbone of the hard aspect; when Venus and Mars each have a main aspect, read the main aspect first, and then determine whether this set of right angles is a comprehensive trial field, or an episode concentrated on a certain side.

This set of right angles is put back into the entire set of distances, and the comparison is as follows.

conjunction 0 degrees, within 7 degrees Want and strive for the same button
opposition 180 degrees, within 7 degrees Two kinds of withdrawals take turns to be the banker
trine 120 degrees, within 6 degrees Want to be on the same track as the shot
square (this page) 90 degrees, within 6 degrees What you want and what you dare to show are stuck with each other
sextile Within 60 degrees, 4 degrees There are opportunities for cooperation when you ask
quincunx 150 degrees, not marked What you want and what you can do do not match

The myth of hard aspect has dismantled the outdated saying “square is punishment”; the six distances of VenusMars are arranged in a row, and the summary table of aspect pair index is the clearest. If the interpretation wants to be reorganized, aspect courses will be taught according to the main aspect.
