Venus in Aries, Mars in Cancer
Your Venus is in a Fire sign and your Mars is in a Water sign.
Venus in Fire, Mars in Water (Romantic Fire, Watery Desires): You’re a little hard to figure out. On the one hand, you can be quite blunt when it comes to self-expression in love. On the other, you can be sensitive and impressionable. In bed, you require a warm, sentimental, and sensuous partner or else you feel a little insecure, yet your romantic manner is spontaneous and direct. Confusing? Absolutely! But you are also very intriguing–a beguiling mix of independence and neediness.
Your ideal partner recognizes that love and attraction keep you feeling alive and vital, so a relationship that has lost its spark will cause you to lose yours. Your romantic nature is moody, volatile, and dramatic at times! You may be flirtatious, yet you also maintain a certain level of caution and reserve. One day, you give of yourself fully, and the next day you are independent and seemingly not needy.
You are a study in contradictions on a romantic level–you are both vulnerable and outspoken, for example. While you are sensitive, you can also “say it like it is” and upset a sensitive partner. Indeed, you are uninterested in superficial relationships. You require a certain amount of depth, yet you are not always willing to open up.
Although you are very romantic, you are also prone to fighting your emotions in an attempt to keep love at bay. This never completely works, however! Your passions are strong and sometimes extreme. Your lovers are bound to find you a real challenge, simply because they don’t know what to expect. What your partner CAN be sure of, however, is that you are passionate and never boring!
Venus and Mars in signs that are square:
Your romantic needs and sexual needs are quite different, and this presents a constant struggle for you. When you feel satisfied emotionally and romantically (when you feel most loved), you cannot help but feel a lack on an instinctual level–and vice versa. Due to this fundamental inner conflict, you may be a tad argumentative in close partnership.
You can also be very reactive in your relationships, and this can mean you end up acting in a way that is not in your own best interest!
More specifically: Venus in Aries, Mars in Cancer:
While you are direct and spontaneous on one hand, you can also be completely indirect and self-protective on the other. Although you are sexually aroused by nurturing and intimacy, part of you feels smothered and suffocated at the same time. Constancy in partnership satisfies your deepest instincts, yet spontaneity and excitement are equally as important “ingredients” in romance.
You may have a hard time figuring out what you want, and your partners are likely to feel the same way. Although relationships may begin quickly, the longer a relationship lasts, the stronger and more constant you are.
Some Famous People with this Combination: Jodie Comer, Nina Hartley, Taj Mahal, Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Murphy, Liza Minnelli, Christopher Meloni, Victoria Justice, Bobbi Kristina Brown, Suga, Susan Boyle.
