Everything To Know About Venus In Aries, From Who They Date To How To Win Their Love

In order to understand Venus in Aries, let's first look at what this planet and the sign of Aries are all about.

Venus, for one thing, is a positive benefic planet that governs themes of love, beauty, and pleasure. According to astrologer and author of Sun Signs in Love Desiree Roby Antila, Venus represents our urge to share with others, as well as our desire for harmony and to love and be loved.

She previously told mindbodygreen that this planet can also reveal a lot about how we can make and obtain money, and even whether we're good with it, like whether we keep it or prefer spending it.

And in terms of fire sign Aries, this is a cardinal, yang sign that's all about bravery, strength, and taking risks. It's ruled by Mars, the planet of war and action, which says a lot about the qualities of this brash star sign.

Put it all together, and Venus in Aries isn't exactly the easiest Venus sign to have. Venus is actually considered to be "in detriment" in Aries because Venus rules Libra, Aries' opposite. (Planets are in detriment when they're in the opposite sign of the sign the planet rules.)

With the kick-starting cardinal modality and the element of fire pushing Venus to get the ball rolling, folks with Venus in Aries will have no problem initiating things in their love lives and beyond.

Recklessness or impulsivity is something to watch out for when it comes to Venus in Aries folks. While they do love to start new things, sometimes they don't stop to think.

Mars rules war, action, aggression, and sex. With Venus in a Mars-ruled sign, you can bet sex is going to be an important part of the equation for these people.

According to the twins, in fact, folks with Venus in Aries want to be admired by their lovers and are often quite liberated on the sexual front. However, they may be prone to numerous short-lived flings as opposed to long-term partners.

OK, this sounds harsh, but Aries isn't exactly known to be the most relationship-oriented sign. Consider Libra, its literal opposite, which is all about relating to others. As Roby Antila explains, "[People with Venus in Aries] can be self-centered—they're almost more interested in their own desires than that of their partners—so cooperation, communication, and compromise are the solution."

And lastly, as Roby Antila previously explained to mindbodygreen, one of the biggest things to understand about people who have Venus in Aries is that they love the thrill of new love.

When it comes to dating, Venus in Aries people have to "accept who they are, and not conform to others' views of how courting should play out," according to Pelinku. "In other words," she says, "if they like someone and wait for the other to make the first move, it will lead to delays and repressed anger for this Venus sign."

The twins echo this point, noting that patience is not a virtue for those with Venus in Aries. "A lover who drags out the courtship process will likely get a taste of your extreme ghosting powers," they explain, adding, "While your book of love may be filled with steamy and half-finished chapters, at least it won't be boring."

This is a placement that fares best when they're the ones to pursue and take initiative because it boosts their confidence, Pelinku explains. "In their established relationships, they desire movement and results. If they have a list of goals to fulfill with their love partner, they will want to see it completed. If not, that's where the anger stirs," she adds.

And according to the twins, these fiery and passionate lovers won't settle for less than an all-encompassing attraction. Love at first sight is a very real thing for these people—but the problem is that it can happen multiple times. "You've probably fallen head over heels in a nanosecond more than once. If the click is there, you'll jump right in, [so] pacing yourself is an art form to learn," they add.

In terms of compatibility, it's always a good idea to check out a full astrological compatibility chart (aka synastry chart) to get the big picture, but Aries Venuses would likely do well with other fire Venuses (Leo, Sagittarius, or another Aries), as well as air sign Venuses (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius).

Understanding your birth chart placements can help show you how to thrive by fostering more balance, and in the case of Aries Venuses, those areas for growth include patience, selflessness, and potentially, a touch of anger management.

Further, the twins previously told mindbodygreen, action and movement can help you channel some of that inner fire. "They should have exercise equipment they can grab, on-demand streaming workouts—something to move their energy around," they explain, adding that anything involving fire can bring you joy, whether that's cooking, lighting candles, or even having a good old-fashioned bonfire.

And as Pelinku recommends, Aries Venuses also do well to remember to be true to themselves and honor their brave nature.
