In an astrological chart, the planet Venus is associated with how a person expresses their self in their relationships- especially in love, attraction and marriage. It describes how beauty is appreciated and interpreted by the person and also how they relate to others. The sign of the Venus is often the same as the Sun since they can never be more than forty five degrees from each other. In the cases when the signs are identical, the behavior the person has towards people in general translates into their romantic life. If the signs are different, there is a disparity between how they treat people in general and how they treat people they are romantically involved with.



For those born with their Venus in Aries, there is an assertive and demonstrative undercurrent to their love life. Enthusiastic, optimistic, outgoing and cheerful they excel in social settings but can be intimidating to wall flower types. Flirtatious and affectionate, they are competitive at winning the attention of potential mates. They like the thrill of the chase and do not react well when they don't win the prize. Losses leave them moody and irritable. But their instincts for conquests and challenges make them the victor more times than not. They turn their direct and adventurous spirit towards their intended victim and take off- sometimes so quickly that they are claiming love at first sight. But that love is often as quick to leave and then they are on the prowl for another "love".

Patience is not one of this person's virtues and they can add carelessness to that list as well. Long term relationships are somewhat unlikely since they care little for practical concerns or plans. They do get serious fast and often marry early but they realize their mistake and correct it. Usually they will leave a confused and wounded lover in their wake. Venus in Aries doesn't lend well to empathy and they usually will have no idea if they have deeply wounded the person they had claimed was the one. Angry demonstrations by jilted lovers won't win any attention or second thoughts, either. When this person moves on, they mean it.

That said, long term relationships aren't impossible for those with their Venus in Aries. They just require a lot more work than relationships between other signs do. A partner would do well to keep things spiced up and interesting so that the Aries has something to continuously chase after. If it seems like they are getting restless, the diversions should become more attention grabbing. This person isn't likely to stray on the side with secretive acts of unfaithfulness- they will just walk out the door and move along to the next pasture. If they are able to stay in a relationship for a good deal of time and can recognize that there are surprises that come along with every turn in a relationships and little chases to be had, they may be able to stick it out for the long haul.
