Venus and Mars, the cosmic lovers, are linking up this weekend, typically a great time for social, sexual and romantic activity. Typically. As Venus and Mars align in the sky they are in the signs of their debility, Virgo and Cancer. This combination lends less towards our erotic ideals and more towards vibrant and colorful afternoon in the garden or evening in the kitchen with your lover. Still for some it will be the just enough chemistry to make for a romantic, if a bit subdued, evening.
The catch is that Venus and Mars are both in "Fall", which is when they are in the opposite signs they are strongest and best expressed (Pisces and Capricorn, respectively) and so the usual verve will be a bit weaker than when in other signs.
Venus is thought to be ideal in Pisces and is where she is unconditionally loving to all with a compassionate heart that looks beyond the surface and sees a person's highest potential. It's Jesus/Mary vibes here. Yes, it can be delusional at times and she has a tendency to try and play savior to underdogs. Venus in Virgo, however, is rather picky and a bit nervous when it comes to friendship, love and sex. This is the combination that lends to a person having a stringent list of what is acceptable and not acceptable in a mate. Venus here can be a bit neurotic here and is uptight where messy sex is involved.
Mars in Cancer can be a bit of a sissy and is more at home tending the kitchen stove than fanning the flames of love in a nightclub with a stranger. Cancer is moody and defensive as a first resort and you can imagine how this might lend to courage in sexual adventurouness. There needs to be familiarity and a sense of safety for Mars to come out of it's shell here otherwise he is a bit hesitant. When he's in Capricorn, his ideal roost, he pays his dues and puts in overtime and doesn't whine a bit. Here he loves to work almost as much as he likes to fuck and he really does like the latter. This is the sign of the horny goat. Alas in Cancer, he's less the strong-man and a bit more of a momma's boy.
So the two are getting together in signs they aren't the best in. Still it could be romantic and sexy, although we may need to play to the themes of shyness or moodiness. If we slow down and show our sensitive, prudent sides our dates or lovers might relax enough to get the blood flowing.
In some ways this won't be so overt. It could be a time when we want to have romantic times at home, outdoors and away from the rough and uncouth world outside. Keep it cozy, clean and safe and you might find this to be quite nice. Those hunting for a one night stand in a nightclub could get what they are after but there may be some vibes to deal with. Or just get drunk and don't even notice the vibes?
If you have Mars in Aries or Venus in taurus your nature won't be any different at this time but you may notice that things need to be handled with a bit more delicacy than usual. If it's noticiable it will come in the sense of circumstance or it might be within the person you are with. It's a subtle shift and will be most noticable if it's affecting your natal chart in a particular way. Otherwise it's a nice time for love, sex and social activity and the only noticiable difference is that the power of their combination will be diminished not unlike water in wine.
Those *best* effected will have Sun, Moon, Mars or Venus at 13◦ in Virgo, Cancer, Taurus & scorpio. Others with planets at 13◦ Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces might have some akwardness or discomfor as the union of Mars & venus is in a difficult aspect to you.
Another catch
The Moon is Void-of-Course for a damn long time and there might be a feeling of standstill or inactivity. This is that period when the Moon doesn't make any aspects to other planets and the astral mechanics that work just beyond our awareness kinda slows. In example, it could be a time where someone tries calling or emailing you and it's not till later that it's received. Plans made in the moment might fizzle and there could be a missing spark. Another sign that you might like to be at home and in comfort rather than out.
The next time the these two get together again will be when Venus in Scorpio Squares Mars in Leo September 28. Mars is happy, if a bit dramatic in Leo and Venus is again in detriment and although this combination is combustive, it's MUCH more sexy.
