Venus in Aries (General)

When Venus is in Aries, emotions expressed more aggressively so people are generally more affectionate and extravagant. However, Venus is said to be in detriment in Aries (see essential dignity) that is, its energy is diminished. So whereas people are more affectionate they may not be so lucky in the area of love and romance. 

How Venus in Aries Affects You

A planet, such as Venus, describes a specific type of energy. In the case of Venus it is the energy of love. The sign that it occupies indicates how that energy manifests. Venus in Aries can manifest as aggressive and fearless expressions of love and attraction. You can either be the aggressor or the object of such assertiveness.  Finally the house that the planet transits will determine where this energy will manifest in your life. In order to determine the house that Venus in Aries is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Aries. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

Example

Venus in Aries and the 6th House 

I love + I Am + health and work 

Venus (I Love) in Aries (I AM) in the 6th house of health and work can manifest as assertive expressions of love and attraction and this would likely take place in your workplace. Again, you could be the aggressor or the object of another person's interest. You could meet someone through your work or it could be a co-worker. However, with Venus being in detriment in Aries things could just be off or it could not be the right time and so things are not likely to work out. 

The sixth house is naturally aligned with Virgo and so you will not fall for anyone too easily. You may adopt the same attitude towards romantic relationships that you take to finding a job.  You may find yourself being critical of anyone who shows interest in you, assessing them to determine that they pass your inspection and meet your criteria. 

Since the 6th house rules over health and work, this can be a period of time in which you are more energetic and impatient in terms of how you do your work and go about your daily routine. You can also renew your effort to get healthier by giving more attention, interest, and enerty to your diet and exercise routine. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, Venus at 0° Aries is applying a square to my Saturn at 3° Cancer. A square is a type of aspect in which creates tension between the urges of two planets. Since the slower planet ususally makes the greater impact on the faster planet, let us break it down like so. 

Natal Saturn Square Transit Venus 

I achieve + tension + I love 

Saturn casts a gloomy mood over Venus, and you can be more cynical about love now. However, Saturn can also let you see your relationships more as they are and less than the way you want them to be. If you have a partner, communciation with him or her can be difficult now and you may find yourself having arguements or disagreements. This may be necessary, however, to air your respective grievances so that they can be dealt with and not allowed to fester. Venus just wants to have relax, have fun, and be comfortable but with Saturn making a square to it you may not be able to feel relaxed or comfortable. You may feel that you have too many responsibilities.You'll have to put in more of an effort to get along with anyone who can hold your accountable for your obligations and responsibilities. 

Ruler of the House 

What house(s) does Venus rule in your chart? Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, so the houses that these signs are in in your Natal Chart represent the areas of life that will be be affected by Venus in Aries. For example, in my chart Taurus is in the 7th house and Aries is in my 6th. In this case, you would say that the ruler of the 7th House is in the 6th House. Let's disect this statement. 

• Ruler of the 7th House in the 6th House 
• The activities of the 7th house serve the urge of the 6th House 
• Relationships, cooperation, and agreements service daily habits, routine, health, and work 

Next, we take this statement and extrapolate on it. With the ruler of the 7th house in the sixth house you can improve your working environment by practicing more cooperation and compromise. You work more efficiently with a partner. You allow your working partner to take the lead and have the spotlight. A similar dynamic would also be valid in terms of your heath. In order to get healthier you may need to find a workout partner, or you may need to join a gym and obtain the services of a trainer to guide you (the 7th house rules contracts). Alternatly, you may need to find someone on the same diet and or exercise program as you and share recipes, exercises, tips and tricks in addition to giving one another emotional encouragment and support.
