Love and desire face off. What attracts you and how you pursue need balancing.

Deeper Understanding
Venus opposite Mars places love and desire at maximum tension. What you value may conflict with what you pursue; what attracts you may be at odds with how you act.
This often plays out in relationships—attracted to people who embody one pole while you embody the other. The dance between them creates both passion and conflict.
The work is owning both your Venus and your Mars rather than seeking them in others.
