Deeper Understanding

Venus square Mars creates friction between what you value and how you pursue it, between attraction and action. The tension can feel uncomfortable but generates tremendous creative and romantic energy.

This aspect often correlates with passionate but turbulent relationships, or with creative expression that emerges from internal conflict around desire.

The gift is the passionate energy the tension generates. The work is not letting it become destructive.

About the Square

Two planets at right angles create tension that demands action and generates growth.

Shadow

Chronic frustration when the tension isn't addressed. Forcing one energy to dominate rather than integrating both. Action without reflection.

Invitation

What action has this tension been pushing you toward? What would it mean to stop avoiding the discomfort and work with it instead?
