Do you ever wonder why the person you’re attracted to doesn’t return your feelings? Or why the person who you couldn’t care less about keeps following you around like a lost puppy? Look to the placements of your Venus and Mars for answers to these questions. The sign Venus is in describes your ideal of love, how you attract and express love, and how you want to receive love. The sign where Mars is tells how you exert energy to attain what attracts you.
In a woman’s chart, Venus represents her love style, while Mars represents the type of man that makes her feel lusty. In a man’s chart, his Venus represents the woman in his fantasies, while Mars represents how he tries to persuade a woman to choose him for sex, love, etc..
