i agree w/this. with sex i am definitely my mars - very take charge and dominating but in the relationship i am very feminine (virgo) and shy, and defer to the man. so they do come out in different ways for sure

Seriously. I can feel my Leo Venus before the relationship is physical and in the courting stage... I am generous, flirty (if I am comfortable), affectionate and fun-loving. When it reaches the time to become physical, Taurus Mars shows my sensuality and likes loads of time and touch, as well as basic stuff as opposed to being whipped with a hockey stick with a jason mask on. If I had Leo in Mars, there may be a video camera involved or worshipping something...which I have no interest in.

Venus is how you love, and what you appreciate and find beautiful.

My Cancer Venus doesnt show unless Im really really into the guy...

it seems to me that if your natal venus and mars are square, then somebody is eventually going to be disappointed right?

i mean if your venuses are square lets say pisces and gemini, and your marses are square let's say sag and cancer (just hypothetical of course hahaha) then that would give you good venus and mars synastry both ways but not mars to mars or venus to venus.

but if you have two people with taurus venus and cancer mars and one with pisces venus, mars sag, then sure your venuses will line up and you have one good venus-mars aspect, but then the lone sag mars is left out in the open. i sorry if this seems slightly off topic, it's something that i've never quite understood, but i do think it's somewhat related.

sorry if that's confusing.

But in as far as Mars progressions/ aspect transits are concerned, these are usually times of strife/life threatening situations and turbulence. Not love or romance. 🤔

Regardless of gender,Ven(imo) represents the holistic approach one has towards intimacy, pleasure and things that bring joy.

Mars is more focused on the "crux" of the issue & though it is often affiliated with the phallus.It is NOT exclusively "Male" As the uterus is also symbolic of the ram /Mars energy. For me, the "men are from Mars. Women are from Venus" narrative has misguided misogynistic roots.

Perhaps this is why so many threads have started debating "most feminine" and "most masculine" hogwash. That is to imply that Mars(as ruler of men) would make men inherently aggressive , coarse and even "barbaric". That any man who doesn't conform to such or (in many cases) any woman who may even display an ounce of that, is "off" or "ugly" in some way. "Just crap🙆🏿‍♂️.

Women's sexuality (just like a man)is represented by a number of things (including Ven and Mars-but not exclusive to). It depends on what she is trying to do with her sexuality.

If she is looking to get her rocks off and let off some steam-Mars.

If she is looking to express her affection and let the partner know how she feels- Ven.

If she is looking to comfort or be comforted-Moon.

If she is looking to redress the stifling role of the "wrhroe"/Virgin narrative women have had to balance on for centuries-Lilith

If she is looking to expand and get children or increase her lineage-Jupiter

Venus is interconnection, the harmony and attraction of Like attracts, begets, and likes Like, and when combined with some Mars impetus--romance.

The Moon, btw, is sort of in between these two. Meaning, she has attributes of both, but leans more towards Venus, and of course is way more passive and Yin than Mars with her sexuality. But she does connect to sexual energy, make no mistake about it (and more so and more directly than Venus. Venus is much more of a heart/thymus center energy that ranges from emerald green to cyan type colors).

I totally agree with you, Aries23Degrees. I feel it strongly depends on your own personal needs to determine what gets you in a certain mood. My 8th house Venus and Cancer Mars conjunct Saturn would never let me get involved with someone random. But a 9th house Venus with Aquarius Mars opposite Leo Jupiter probably wouldn’t be that cautious.

"If you have Mars in Aries with Venus in Taurus
you are . . .

The Reluctant Extremist

Yours is a difficult combination. A sensualist at heart, you don’t really approve of the headlong recklessness of your sexual nature. You would like to slow down and give your senses ample time to drink in each erotic experience but you find that your Mars in Aries nature runs well only in high gear and the more you try to put on the brakes the more ungainly and muddled you appear. You are among the most practical Mars in Aries Lover but, unfortunately, your actions often give little evidence of this wisdom.

On the positive side, in the right situation and with the right partner, your unique combination of sensual patience and volcanic passion can make you a gifted Lover. And there is a sweetness and soft conventionality about your sexual nature that allows you to get away with sexual extremes that might land other Mars in Aries Lovers in jail. If you can learn from your frustrations and build on your strengths, your capacity for erotic expression is unlimited."

So I am "The Lyrical Liberator"

"You are the least intellectual of the Mars in Aquarius Lover." Gee thanks!

"You are one of the most emotionally vulnerable of the Mars in Aquarius Lovers and, for this reason, you are often more cautious and conservative in your romantic choices than is typical with this type. You have to protect your tender feelings. If you decide to defy convention it will be because of overwhelming emotional necessity and not just because you want to see how other people will react. But, given the combination of your sensuous and extremely affectionate nature and your uncompromising commitment to your romantic ideals, if and when you do choose to get radical about sex your actions will invariably draw a lot of attention."

I have the same combo as Hugh Hefner and Emma Watson, Kirsten Stewart, and the Hunger Games Star.

Right feminine is really just an opinion!

There are so many ways to define what is feminine and masculine.

Like someone could have a physical feminine body. Curvy boobs and butt. But choose to wear flannels and cargo pants. Or feminine could be body language like batting their eyelashes, and twisting their hair. Someone could have a six pack and wear lacy gloves.

Feminine could be the domestic homemaker. Feminine could be the always being done up from head to toe in the glam sense. (nails, lashes, skin professionally done and kept up with) Then there is the dark feminine energy. The female fatale. Fishnets, red lip stick, hair teased.

Yeah I like lurking those threads with a imaginary bowl of popcorn.

"The Most Basic Lover"

He makes me feel like I am crazy at first when I want to spice things up! Also doesn't take correction well, at first. I have to be so blunt to get him to try new things. But once the Virgo's takes the stick out of their arse, they can be quite the performers.

“The Love Addict”

For the Mars in Pisces Lover, to love and be loved is a compulsion; an all-consuming drive that affects every part of their lives. It is their demon, their madness and the monkey that won’t ever leave their backs even when they are old and gray. Obviously this compulsion to love makes these people very vulnerable. But their vulnerability—this acute sensitivity to feelings and emotional situations—just becomes one more aspect of their sexual attractiveness. With Mars in Pisces we confront the essence of sex appeal, an endlessly open heart-of-hearts that no amount of desire can completely fill.

If you think this passive approach to sex puts these Lovers at a disadvantage, think again. Even though sometimes they appear to be helpless victims of love, Mars in Pisces Lovers typically dominate relationships simply because of the power of the emotions they bring to them. A relationship with a Mars in Pisces Lover can seem like a headlong plunge into an emotional and sexual abyss. No end in sight, but who cares?· They demand a lot from the people who love them and, guided by an almost mystical sensitivity to the feelings of other people, they have little trouble finding partners who are up to the challenge.

The real strength of this type, however, is not in their ability to lure the rest of us into mad affairs. It is in their ability to survive them. Their emotional flexibility and their pliant, ever optimistic approach to sex allow Mars in Pisces Lovers to walk away from emotional crack-ups that would leave more sturdy souls in a straight jacket. In fact, these Lovers often thrive in circumstances of emotional upheaval and they typically do all they can to keep their romantic situations fluid and unfixed.

Deception and subterfuge often play large roles in the love lives of Mars in Pisces Lovers. Their needs and desires are so diffuse and so prone to change with circumstance that even they are often surprised at the directions they take. Emotional security means a great deal to them but they also thrive in a state of emotional flux. They sometimes appear weak and vulnerable and yet they are capable of the most amazing acts of emotional will. They can be very loyal but they can also be infuriatingly susceptible to romantic diversions. No wonder it’s so hard to get a straight story from these sexy and slightly delirious Lovers. They rarely have a clear idea of what it is they want.

If you have Mars in Pisces with Venus in Gemini
you are . . .

The Artful Love Addict

You are a sweetly duplicitous Mars in Pisces Lover who uses a charming smile and a rational explanation to conceal seething emotions and desperate sexual needs. The person you’re trying to fool with these little lies is too often yourself. You try to ignore the irrational, compulsive and emotionally vulnerable side of your sexual nature and pretend that your cleverness and your knack for flirtatious repartee is the sum total of your erotic world. Then another wave of sexual madness hits you and there you are, trying to explain away your obsessions and acting as if no one got hurt.

Commitment does not come easily for you. You are quite capable of using your keen sensitivity and cleverness to dance around the issue of love forever. And yet, your sexuality is so full of emotional needs and vulnerablity that, after awhile, a stable, long-term relationship can seem less like a prison and more like a refuge. Once you to stop playing games and find a serious relationship you will quickly find that being hopelessly addicted to love is really not so bad.
