Er, let's not go there, eh.

Venus and Mars is also Social Interactions and Aggression or Energy, for a less negative word. Put like that it doesn't sound so much fun.

With the Conjunction, you are getting a powerful combination working together, probably in one sign. So you are getting a really strong flavour of the needs of that sign.

In a Square, like mine, you are getting two energies that don't work together very well in incompatible signs. On my chart, it links into a T-Square with Mercury, the nodes and the Asc/Desc axis. The effort I make to control my temper is a significant part of how this manifests itself on a personal level.

You may think that all that Aries energy would make him self-centered and ultra competitive, but he's actually a very giving person. To me, he comes across a lot like a Libra, something that has always confused me b/c he has nothing in that sign except Pluto.

His Venus-Mars-Mercury conjunction is in a grand trine with his Moon in Leo and his Neptune in Sag. And it opposes his 7th house Pluto.

Actually, I guess it's his 7th house Pluto opposing that first house stellium that gives him a Libra feel. I don't know if he could be in a social situation and not focus on the needs of the other person he's with. He's charming, articulate, and assumes a kind-hearted alpha position in most social situations. If there's someone who seems left out, he makes an effort to put them at ease and involve them with the group. (I think this has a lot to do with Venus in the first house, since my SO has that and is similar.)

He is extremely focused and hard-working in terms of his education and career. He's a professor and spends most of his time on activities related to his subject.

I don't have the conj, but I do have a Venus-Mars trine.

Edit: Forgot about sex! What's come over me? He had a strong sex drive and felt the responsibility to make it good for me too. For the most part, that's an outstanding feature in a lover , but sometimes it would feel like pressure to enjoy myself so that he could then enjoy himself, instead of just expressing everything naturally and honestly. But he is very sexy.

Your Venus/Mars is getting a lot of chart interaction.

It trines Neptune - so that makes me think you are particularly kind and loving.

It's got a wide Square to Jupiter/Uranus - that is a bit more testing, maybe self-indulgent and needing constant stimulation.

It's also wide of a Square to the Ascendant, so that could show you sometimes have a problem in how you come across in social situations. Maybe a bit demanding, overpowering.

Then it makes a Sextile to the heavy-duty Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto. That sounds hard work, but you could make something of it.

Your Mars is in Virgo - I always like that placement. It's often found in the chart of artistic people. Here it joins with so many planets I would be surprised if there wasn't some creative skill you possess that you could use as an outlet for your energies.

Mars in Virgo joins to Venus in Leo, so being at the end of a very different sign this makes it a bit more of an uncomfortable mix as a Conjunction than some of the other persons who have responded to this thread.

It can be hard to live with cravings and strong passions. Even with the right partner complementing your needs, whether that is attention or the more literally physical kind, some creative outlet does help.

This Conjunction is strong on your chart. The Sun isn't doing as much, it Sextiles to Ascendant/Jupiter/Uranus and the Moon looks unaspected up there in the 9th house which brings its own issues. Mercury is Square Neptune, so it's likely you can be a bit of a dreamer. But again, artistic insight is likely.

My boyfriend also LOVES to be pampered but he's a Taurus, plus he's got the Venus/Mars conjunction in Cancer.

Yup, that's me! I only have 4 best friends, the rest are acquaintances, haha.

It can also mean a strong desire to put beauty in action, so art/entertainment. So the person with this aspect can be enjoyable to be around because they want to put their brand of humor forward and their best qualities forward.

Yes, this aspect does imply a romantic outlook and a warmth of response to others, but the sex and charm part of this has been over-emphasized. There is more potential creativity, art, entertainment, and general social urge in it.

The dynamic of the aspect depends on things like how tight it is, whether one or both planets are retrograde, which planet is the applying planet, thus how the aspect progresses.

For me
My birth chart has a wide conjunction of Venus in late Taurus to Mars in early Gemini (orb 6.7°). So Venus was applying to Mars, indicating a new dynamic in soul development.

The personal part
I think it adds emphasis on immediacy of sense impressions, my affections and appreciation of beauty, which I don't express outwardly much except to my wife. I experience more as a kind of poet's passive sensuality in response to women, animals, nature, music, art, etc. (My conjunction is opposite Neptune.) But that's the essential Mars part of it: I have to put it into action and writing poetry is how I do it best. (I was a solo singer in my teens.) I've also got the painting bug lately and will be adding that to my artsy activities.

I've had to learn the importance of music in my emotional well being. I have to stay involved with music as an active listener, expanding my exposures and tastes (recently learning to like some jazz). Otherwise, I can become emotionally flat, dull, depressive (Moon in Capricorn).

The social part
I've come out of myself socially very gradually over the years (Virgo rising personality), but more in my 30s (I'm 49.) I'm not a charmer or a "ladies man." I was over 30 before my first reciprocal dating relationship. However, I do love women and prefer them generally to men.

Socially I'm kinda ambivert. Introverted at home, but feel free to talk to strangers and interact spontaneously when out. In fact, I wish people did that more, but I understand not everyone is in the mood for it when I am. I like interacting spontaneously with all kinds of people and an ideal day for me is to ride the bus around town, stopping in parks, writing, watching people, and talking casually and having a laugh with them.

I can talk even politics and debate my way into friendship and better understanding with someone whose ideas are very different than mine: finding common ground. (Although I like to argue sometimes just for the sport if I have a point to make and am in the mood.)

And there I was thinking Mars in Gemini was a "player" placement by default. Glad I was wrong!
