People with a Venus in Aries placement are bold, energetic, and driven. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and money; it represents your desire for love and how you want to be loved by others. Meanwhile, Aries is a cardinal fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action and energy. Thus, people with Venus in Aries placements tend to be bold, confident, and passionate. They jump into relationships quickly and need constant excitement with a partner who can keep up with them.
- Venus is actually considered “in detriment” while in Aries because Aries is opposite to Libra (the zodiac sign ruled by Venus).
- Thus, people with Venus in Aries placements may have to work a little harder to find love because Venus tends to clash with the brash, masculine energy of Mars (which rules Aries).
