Today Venus and Mars harmonize, giving us a punch of flirtation, charm, competitive fire, and sex appeal. But keep in mind that Venus in Aries is coming up to a bumpy connection to Pluto into next week. If Pluto is the mirror, we may be examining our Venus shadow around control, manipulation, obsession, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
Don’t forget, Mars and Pluto are really strong in the sky right now as they prepare to turn retrograde April 17–18. Our interactions with people may be testy and we may be looking at the underbelly of power dynamics as well as belief and faith. Be in consciousness of your own relationship with the Mars archetype and how you can transmute negative Mars — control, seizing power, aggression, anger — towards healthy, positive action and leadership.
