Mars at odds with natal Venus

Your chart · time-limitedSteady♈︎Western AstrologyLove

Wanting someone and wanting to beat them at once. Small things turn into arguments, so hold the heavy sentence overnight and do not read the urge to conquer as liking.

In detail

Transit Mars in challenging aspect to natal Venus, twelve days under a 3-degree orb at half a degree a day. Venus marks the direction of liking and Mars the appetite to come first, and a hard angle sets them competing over one object, so wanting to win gets mixed into the attraction. Being drawn to the wrong person, or picking a fight as a test, both follow. Against a lunar friction that clears in ten hours, this is long enough to change where a relationship goes, so the reading turns on separating liking from conquest.

FAQ

How long does this push and pull run?
Mars covers about half a degree a day, so a 3-degree orb gives roughly twelve days. That is long enough to redirect a relationship, which argues for keeping major moves outside it.
How do you tell liking apart from wanting to win?
Watch what happens after the other person gives ground. Liking settles when they come closer; wanting to win loses interest the moment they concede.
