Venus in Aries
Venus represents what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value. In Aries, it expresses itself with drive and courage, throwing yourself forward.
Venus is in its detriment in Aries — a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars —, acting against its nature: the lady of harmony and sweetness falls in the sign of impulse and conquest, and desire burns strong. It is the wild rose, beautiful but thorned, magnetic and seductive to the point of provoking whoever draws near. It lives as one forever unsatisfied, always wanting more than it can sate, and loves with the haste and ardour of Mars, more in pursuit than in surrender. The debility lies in mistaking desire for love and in burning quickly what it conquers. But when it learns to master the thorns, it cultivates a refined taste and an art of seduction full of elegance. An ardent and impatient Venus, that loves as one who invests — and that matures when it no longer needs to win.
