VENUS SQUARE MARS

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

Venus rules Love, beauty and relationships. Venus is aesthetic, artistic and romantic. Venus is also the protector and securer of money and self-worth. Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. Mars can certainly be combative, aggressive and too hasty for the amount of energy that is really required.

This aspect is just flat-out, aggressive Love. It's just too much, over-the-top and emotional. Keep in mind that Venus has everything to do with our self-worth because Venus naturally rules the Taurus (and the 2nd house) of self-worth, moral and values, which translates into our security both financially and emotionally. Mars squaring (challenging) this energy can make you act out in ways that are unbecoming to the person you want to be. I see this energy as insecurity with the opposite sex in its non-so finest hour.

Venus square Mars uses sex as a weapon to fool someone, trick someone or abuse someone. Mind games are also present because Mercury rules the mind, and Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini, who are the players in this aspect. The July 29, 2026 aspect has Mars in Gemini and Venus in Virgo. Further, Gemini and Virgo naturally square each other, so this is a double-dose of challenging energy for couples, easpecially if it shows up in your 2026 Solar Return.

Mars is the competitive planet, so there ya' go, MIND GAMES! Someone is tricking someone to believe they are pregnant, having an affair, threatening, or abusing someone physically with sex or mentally. This is very ugly energy. Since Virgo is involved, which rules physical health, an individual could be using health or faking health issues in order to save, win back or gain sympathy from their partner.

Communication between the two (2) communicator planets is like talking to a wall. You may as well walk over to a wall and start talking to it. It's like talking to your partner while they can't take their eyes off the TV, computer or phone while they play games.

Think of it this way, it's better that you are NOT talking during these energies. Words hurt. Words cannot be taken back. You can apologize and I say, "I take it back", but once the jury (individual) hears it, you really can't take it back. So if communication is hard during the square of Virgo and Gemini (the communicators of Mercury), then just shut the hell up!! Silence is your friend. Silence is your best friend now. It's better not to talk right now and just go through the motions of daily living.

And for Heaven's sake, DO NOT use social media against your partner or friend(s), DO NOT share your problems with the world, and DO NOT pit friends against each other and encourage them to take sides. That can be seen as an incredible act of betrayal on so many levels. The next friend or romance that comes along would be wise to check out your social media. Aye?
