VENUS SEXTILE MARS
This is an easy aspect showing cooperation between two planets which leads to opportunity. It has a positive blending effect on the planets. Sextiles are considered a "soft" or "easy" aspects that reflect the planets involved. They have a way of delivering you an opportunity. It's as if the phone is ringing or there is a knock at the door. Again, it is your choice to answer the opportunity. Opportunities can reveal themselves under the strangest of circumstances.
It is important to understand that Venus rules Love, beauty and relationships. Venus is aesthetic, artistic and romantic. Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. It has endurance, strength and power. Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive.
This aspect reveals a positive, energetic and charming disposition. Basically, it's a charmer! Venus is the estrogen of the planets and Mars is the testosterone of the planets. This sextile blends harmony between the two sexes resulting in emotional compatibility with the opposite sex. This is because the individual can 'relate' well to the opposite sex with this blending of these energies. There is the opportunity to blend charm and assertion being both gentle and strong.
This placement produces a warm and affectionate nature. Venus sextile Mars is capable of containing their strong romantic inclinations until they find the person with whom they are most comfortable. Romantic attractions need to be social and intellectual, as well as physical. There is a high expectation from those who are close, while not threatening the other person's self-confidence by calling attention to or pointing out their flaws or failings.
This aspect makes it easy to get along with most people. Socially this aspect is lively and vivacious easily attracting others. Even with strangers, it is easy to strike up idle conversation and establish a casual relationship.
There is an artistic nature that suggests enjoyment of good music, fine works of art, literature, and intelligent, congenial friends. There is an optimistic outlook and a ready smile that puts people at ease.
Venus sextile Mars gains financially through romantic relationships and marriages. There is popularity and optimism in financial, business and professional dealings.
This aspect is what elopement was made for - sudden marriage and falling Love. I gotta tell ya', there is NO WAY I would go on a first date under the influence of this aspect or when it is in the 'orb of influence'. This energy gives off the feeling of 'soul mate' that could lead to, "What in the hell was I thinking?" down the road.
Venus sextile Mars has 'Love at First Sight' written all over it. Hey, when you know, you know. I am a 'Love at First Sight' type of gal even though I don't have this aspect in my chart, but I do have something else that will take me straight there. When I fall in Love, it's immediate, if not sooner, and that's the Truth. It's called Venus in Aries. (winky wink)
Venus sextile Mars could have you thinking, "I've met my soul mate!" when it's really a, "A mating of souls for a time", meaning we are mated to someone for a certain period of time. You know, like friends, co-workers and teammates who come and go. Even family members and in-laws come and go. Meaning, we are mated to others for a period of time in this Life time. Although there are 'some people' who are in fact, in a relationship Lifetime, during this Lifetime. The chart is what dictates that.
If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
