Venus is in Aries, and we want to push ahead in love, but Venus is retrograde this week (until April 15th), so something is holding us back. It’s time to review our relationship needs and affections. We’re bound to figure out who and what we want by the end of this retrograde cycle, but this is a process and we need to be patient. Both Mars and Eros, quite fortunately, are in patient Taurus, which helps! Earthy desires are in focus, as well as an increased need for consistency and some predictability in our love/sex lives.

Note: If you know your Ascendant, reading your horoscope for your Ascendant will give a more accurate forecast.

Note: These horoscopes interpret the positions of Venus, Mars, the current New Moon cycle, and Eros relative to your sign. These cycles last longer than a week, and thus interpretations will not change from week to week until the factors themselves change signs.

Overview

Venus is in the sign of Aries.

Venus is in Aries from February 3-April 2 and then April 28-June 6. In Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past. It’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now. Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to Aries. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.

Venus is in a Fire sign and Mars is in an Earth sign this week. Fire and Earth are incompatible elements. On romantic and social levels, we are spontaneous and fiery. Sexually, we are more sensual and slow-moving, however. We willingly take the lead in matters of the heart, and we look for a partner who is exciting, original, and passionate. We are probably easier to please on a sexual level than on a romantic level. Romantically speaking, we love the chase and the conquest. Sexually speaking, we are rather content and even traditional. Although passionate and sexual, we are also quite independent and we’re not inclined to want to cuddle the night away. We need our space! Subtlety may be lacking in our sexual expression during this period. We can be surprisingly blunt in our approach to love. Our needs for both spontaneity and forethought in relationships may seem conflicting—and at times this will be a challenge. However, if we can maintain a relationship that is secure and adventurous at the same time, we will be at our happiest.

The above combination does work better since Venus is retrograde and can benefit from the patience of Mars in Taurus, and also because Venus and Mars are in mutual reception.

A New Moon occurred in Pisces on February 26th. With the New Moon in Pisces, a cycle that is in force until March 27th, we may make some Pisces-related resolutions for our love relationships. This Moon cycle (from February 26th to March 27th) is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish–intuitive, dreamy, artistic, humane, sympathetic, sensitive, compassionate, perceptive, and tender–and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives. This is a time to learn to accept imperfections in ourselves and our lovers, put aside time to spend with our partners in peaceful and rejuvenating activities, learn to let some things go (such as judgments and petty annoyances), or share a dream with our partners. The path we are to take with this New Moon is towards compassion, understanding, empathy, service, and acceptance.

This week: Venus is retrograde and continues to form few aspects. This week, Venus aligns with Mercury on Friday and Saturday. Tthere can be a lot of conversation about relationships, especially past ones. New light may be shed on an old problem.

Eros is in Taurus this week.

Eros is in Taurus until April 2nd, 2017. ( in ) Eros in the sensual, earthy, and solid sign of Taurus brings sensuality as well as possessiveness into our sexual styles. Sexual possessiveness can be exciting if it isn’t taken to extremes. Unlike Eros in Aries, competition is not a turn-on under Eros in Taurus. Certainty is! We can be somewhat “primitive” in our desires and not especially attracted to too much sexual intricacy. Simplicity is the biggest turn-on. Although we tend to need plenty of physical contact with Eros in Taurus, self-love is also a strong tendency. Steady, certain, and regular partnering is the goal. Our sexual natures are rooted in the world of the five senses. Read more about Eros signs.

Timing and the Moon: Best Times to Have a First Date This Week: According to the principles of timing with the Moon, there are no clear windows this week. Venus is retrograde until April 15th, and what begins now may not have a lot of staying power. Void of Course Moon periods should probably be avoided (see Void of Course Moon periods). [See also Timing with the Moon: Relationships]

Bottom Line: Venus is in Aries, and we want to push ahead in love, but Venus is retrograde this week (until April 15th), so something is holding us back. It’s time to review our relationship needs and affections. We’re bound to figure out who and what we want by the end of this retrograde cycle, but this is a process and we need to be patient. Both Mars and Eros, quite fortunately, are in patient Taurus, which helps! Earthy desires are in focus, as well as an increased need for consistency and some predictability in our love/sex lives.
