Venus in Libra, Mars in Cancer
Your Venus is in an Air sign and your Mars is in a Water sign.
Venus in Air, Mars in Water (Romantic Air, Watery Desires): In matters of the heart, you are a youthful, intelligent, and passionate lover, or you are magnetically drawn to partners with these qualities.
You do require some “space” and freedom to explore in any relationship, and prefer not to be possessed. However, you can display distinct moments of possessiveness yourself! It is important that your mind is stimulated in love affairs, but you also strongly value subtle, non-verbal levels of communication.
You value being friends with your partners as well as lovers, but that can be a challenge for you when you are in your more insecure moods. Partners (or potential partners) who are uncommunicative, dull, or lacking in spontaneity are real turn-offs for you. However, you also crave a feeling of security, and a partner who is too outgoing might leave you feeling insecure.
You can be a real flirt, but you usually are able to deliver on your promises! You can easily confuse partners by being indifferent and objective one day, and moody the next. Although you thrive on the emotional and physical charge that you get from sex, you are also able to examine it from an impersonal level. You are passionate and intense, yet in some ways you can be the most rational of lovers.
Your emotional and sexual needs can be so mixed and varied that a partner is bound to have a hard time knowing what you want and when. As such, it may be a challenge for you to find a deeply satisfying partnership, especially in youth, simply because your romantic and sexual needs are conflicting.
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. You may be a tad argumentative in close partnership as a result of this basic inner conflict. At times, you can be reactive in your relationships, and this can mean you end up acting in a way that is not in your own best interest!

Some Famous People with this Combination: Albert Camus, Divine, Nick Jonas, Rachel Bilson, Henry Ford Jr., Richard Gere, Vivien Leigh, Shelley Long, Pablo Picasso, Gene Simmons, Cheryl Tiegs, Henry Winkler.
Note about these interpretations: Venus in Gemini (an Air sign) and Mars in Scorpio (a Water sign), for example, will have the same elemental interpretation as Venus in Libra (an Air sign) and Mars in Pisces (a Water sign), but a different specific interpretation and a different relative-sign meaning.
