Actions to Take During the Venus/Mars Conjunction

Let’s first address last week! Luckily we didn’t have any cyber attacks, but we did have some intense collective events that reflected the volatile energy of the Mars/Pluto conjunction -  a dangerous Winter storm on the East Coast, the tragic mass shooting in Kansas City, and the death of Russian activist Alexei Navalny. I know that personally, my week was very jarring and I’m sure many of you experienced some turbulence as well. Pluto is still at the powerful ingress degree of zero, and has been provoked by all of the personal planets over the last few weeks. While this energy is still highly active, we should feel a cool down as we progress into Pisces season.

This week, however, we do have a special aspect to look forward to! Venus and Mars will meet at 6° Aquarius tomorrow evening, February 21st. This alignment only happens once every two-three years! Venus symbolizes love, beauty, harmony, and values, while Mars represents action, desire, passion, and drive. When these two planetary bodies come together, their union ignites a dynamic fusion of feminine and masculine energies, offering us a unique opportunity to seamlessly blend our desires with our actions.

When this fusion happens in the sign of Aquarius, it urges us to embrace progressive ideas, cultivate meaningful connections, and ignites our passions for collective growth. This particular combination also invites us to explore unconventional approaches to relationships, harness our creative potential to effect positive change, and forge connections based on shared ideals and humanitarian values.

Born with the Venus/Mars conjunction in your natal chart? If your Venus and Mars placements are within 5° of each other, this is you! No matter what signs they’re in, you approach life with intensity and enthusiasm, especially when it comes to pursuing your desires and interests. You also have an undeniable charisma and magnetic appeal — and easily attract others to you!

To take advantage of tomorrow’s unique alignment, see my list of actions below!
