However, if you have Venus at 3 degrees Aries an she has, and she has Venus at 3 degrees Gemini then the connection is very strong.
That was just an example. There are 30 degrees in a sign. The closer the degrees are to each other the stronger the connection. Aspects within about 4 degrees are fairly strong. Aspects under 2 degrees are very powerful.
Both Venus/Venus and Venus/Mars are good aspects to have in synastry.
Venus/Venus is very sweet and affectionate. It's a warm fuzzy aspect where people like each other very much. It's also touchy feely.
However, for male/female relationships Venus/Mars is considered better in general. This is because Mars is a male planet and Venus is a female planet, so the contrast in energies is there, indicating a strong romantic attraction. Venus/Mars is associated with more passionate attraction.
Both aspects, when the degree orbs are tight are very good for relationships though.
