Hearts Run Hot with Venus in Aries

When the love planet Venus moves into red-hot Aries on Feb. 8, love takes a turn for the intense -- just in time for Valentine's Day! But with Aries being the sign of the individual ... what impact will Venus in Aries have on relationships and singles alike?

Venus, the planet of love and relationships, runs hot in Fire sign Aries. Traditionally, astrologers considered this a difficult placement because of the contrast between passive Venus and active Aries -- it seemed to be such a harsh place for comely Venus. Venus in Aries is the symbol of a female warrior, an independent woman for whom love is of her own choosing.

Venus in the sign of Aries is about self-love. This may be expressed as selfishness, but it is a necessary element of any healthy relationship. One's own likes come first now. If it's your habit to make others comfortable before attending to your own desires, this is a good period in which to explore another approach. Knowing what you want, without consideration for your partner, can provide a healthy foundation of honesty for your relationship.

This is also a time in which a desire for new experiences may grow strong. Newness is valued highly here as routine matters become increasingly boring. You may have to risk love to keep it. A new look, style or manner of relating to others can be invigorating. Be a pioneer for love, willing to let go of the old rules to feel what's in your heart at this very moment.

Those willing to venture into new territory can be rewarded during this period. Venus in Aries appreciates individuals who are unafraid to discover new paths, new partnerships and new ways to bring beauty into the world. Love is not something to be kept and stored away somewhere. With Venus in Aries, it's a time to honor the present that is filled with both promise and uncertainty.
