Venus and Mars Combinations

Romantic & Sexual Styles

What are the signs of Venus and Mars in your natal chart?
Venus-Mars combinations reveal much about a person’s romantic and sexual styles. Each Venus-Mars combination is interpreted in terms of elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) and is then refined in terms of signs. Thus Venus in Aries (a Fire sign) and Mars in Taurus (an Earth sign), for example, will have the same elemental interpretation as Venus in Leo (a Fire sign) and Mars in Capricorn (an Earth sign), but a different specific interpretation. Note that some interpretations are forthcoming.

Venus in Cancer, Mars in Leo

Your Venus is in a Water sign and your Mars is in a Fire sign.

Venus in Water, Mars in Fire (Romantic Water, Fiery Desires): You are romantic and sometimes quite unrealistic when it comes to matters of the heart, regardless of how practical you may be in other areas of life. You never treat love relationships as business deals—you are far too emotionally involved in them. You possess much erotic vitality, and you have a strong need for physical affirmations of love. You have a tendency to jump into relationships, simply because you are both optimistic and sensual. Be careful not to bring your past relationships into your current ones. Your needs in love are quite conflicting. On the one hand, you are attracted to edgy and daring adventures, but on the other, you need emotional closeness and security. A bundle of contradictions, you are emotionally very vulnerable, yet you don’t always want others to know this. You are an emotional and intuitive lover with excellent hunches. Sometimes blunt and direct, you can also be extremely sensitive. Your love life is somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster. You crave the drama and attention characteristic of a new romance, yet you have a deep need for security and attachment. You are romantic and even poetic, and changes of mood are your way of life! Your lover never quite knows who they’ll meet in the bedroom—the adventurous side of you, or the sensitive and caring side.

Venus and Mars in side-by-side signs: The things that please you romantically and the things that please you sexually are quite different. What makes you feel loved and desired does not necessarily satisfy you on the level of desire and instinct, and vice versa. One partner could have a hard time attempting to fill your needs. As a result, you could be quite a handful; or, you may find ways to separate your romantic and sexual needs and thus satisfy them individually.
