Mars Square or Opposite Venus
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Mars square or opposite your natal Venus. This transit is a very potent aphrodesiac. However, there is likely to be discord between you and your partner. There is often a power component in sexuality at this time where it is a sort of bargaining chip. This combination often brings love/hate relationships into your life. If you can't find an area of compromise between you are your partner, there is likely to be alot of irritability, sexual power games, and issues of domination and submission, etc. This can be a creative time for you. In business and finance, be especially careful about bargains that look too good to be true. Business relationships formed at this time tend to not last long as the advantages are usually lopsided.

If Venus is lord of your 1st house, you may be the object of someone else's affection, but may not want to reciprocate. Personal popularity increases.
If lord of your 2nd, you may feel like shopping or spending money. Sometimes indicates wasteful spending upon useless objects. This is more likely the case if you were born during the day.
If lord of your 3rd, it is a good time for creativity and artistic expression. You may become more popular around your neighbors for some reason. Chance meetings while doing errands are more likely.
If lord of your 4th, you may be more fond of your personal privacy than usual. You may decorate your home, but you may question your taste later.
If lord of your 5th, it is often a time of romance and socializing. Meeting a new love interest is more likely now, but it may be a fatal attraction. Power and sexuality mix.
If lord of your 6th, you might feel a bit distracted at work and have difficulty getting things done. Sometimes indicates sexual harassment at work or jealousy.
