Venus and Mars

Every woman has a male (Mars) energy inside of her. Just as every man has a female (Venus) energy inside of him.
The placement of Venus in a woman’s chart shows you how that woman needs to be loved. For example, if a woman has Venus in Gemini, she likes lots of communication. She operates from needing a mental connection. If it is in Leo, she needs dramatic expressions of love, and some degree of luxury for good measure. Each Zodiac sign signifies a different approach to the woman’s basic love nature. 

For a man, his Venus shows you what type of female he is attracted to. So, if he has Venus in Scorpio, he needs someone who is comfortable with his eroticism.  If he has Venus in Libra, he wants a woman who is very refined and classy. You can see how useful this information is! If you are not feeding your partner’s basic love nature (which might be very different from your own) then things can get rocky. 

Mars in a woman’s chart shows you what type of man turns her on. If a woman has Mars in Aries, she needs a fiery athletic man. If she has Mars in Pisces, she requires a man who is soft and gentle.    

Always remember, Mars represents male energy and how one moves forward in life. Venus represents the female energy and how we want to express love. 

Your Mars, both in sign and aspects, also shows how your sexual energy is stimulated.

I mentioned that Mars in a woman’s chart shows what type of man she is physically attracted to.  Mars in a man’s chart will show how he will want to assert his masculinity, and impress someone.  For example, take Mars in Gemini in a man’s chart.  How might someone like this try to impress you?  In a Gemini way!  He’d love to use words, and his intellect, to cleverly seduce you.  If a man has Mars in Leo, he might try to impress you in a dramatic Leo style, such as, “Let’s go to the Four Seasons for dinner!”  So remember that Venus has more to do with your emotional needs and Mars is more about your physical needs.
