Sometimes you must put yourself out there if you want the desired outcome.

We leave the dreamy, romantic, and indecisive vibes of Venus in Pisces to a decisive, passionate, along with taking no prisoners style of dating with this planet going into Aries.

So, if you’ve wanted to get out of the passenger seat in your love life and career, this will be an Ingress that will energize you. With Venus in Aries, we kick things up several notches, feel decisive about our love goals, and feel less self-conscious.

One thing to note, this Sign-planet configuration is in Detriment; this is because Libra is ruled by Venus and happens to be the opposite of Aries.

When coupled with a Zodiac Sign, each celestial body will have its own special spot where it will shine or cause discomfort. Some things seem to flow naturally in life, but other times, some combinations just don't mesh. Essential Dignities in Astrology helps us to discover which Signs operate well in specific planets and which have some tension.

The reason for this is Aries is about the self and the benefits of doing things on your own; Libra is about being able to relate to others and the good things that come from being in a one-on-one relationship. Aries, a Mars-ruled Sign, is action-oriented with a take no prisoners style, while Venus is gentle and passive. Hence, these differences could cause things to feel off-kilter at times.

However, this doesn’t mean that we won't have a blast with this energy, and there are a ton of positive strengths to this configuration.

And with Venus in Aries, we're going to enjoy igniting some sort of adventure in our lives.

Romantically, we will have a high-octane approach when it comes to the way we handle our dating and relationships. In other words, this could be a point where you feel pumped and energized enough to take the initiative in your love life.

If you're single, this energy could give you a dose of encouragement to put yourself out there again dating-wise. Aries is the kickstarter of the Zodiac, the initiator, and ignites us to get moving. We act before we think, which helps us not second guess the moves we make. Of course, this can be an issue in this combination. However, If channeled healthily, it helps us go after things we should pursue.

So you could have a moment of “You know what?! I’m going to get back on my dating apps!” Or “This person likes me, and I’m into them too; I’m going to hit them up on Instagram; why not?!”

With Venus in Aries, we get the motivation to seize the day in our love lives. We also feel less awkward about what others think.

Obviously, you want to be mindful of how you come across because this is a slippery slope, but you don’t want it to stifle you from ever putting yourself out there. We do want to make sure we are being bold but in a healthy non-impetuous, or pushy manner. This might be when you’re allowing yourself to be more open-minded with dating options, not feeling as nervous about conversating with your person of interest, or if you’re newly hanging out with someone, initiating communication first. Also, you could finally feel like saying yes to invites from romantic potentials because you feel more decisive and open to a dating adventure.

Fast progress could happen in new situations where you’re already dating someone. This could be a time when things are clear, so you or the other person makes their move to put a label on your dating circumstances.

Intimacy in committed relationships become revved up under this energy. Aries being a Mars-ruled Sign connected with Venus, which has to deal with love, could cause your relationship to heat up. Even with a solid relationship, things could feel like they are moving fast. Also, you and your partner could become bold and bring more thrills to your union.

This will be a time to go out and party. In this energy, we feel more extroverted and want to mingle with others. We could go on a bar-hopping adventure because this energy gets us in the drinking spirit. Or do something that gets us moving, like spontaneously deciding to go dancing at a club.

Financially, this could be a time when we are coming up with quick solutions to make extra money. Our ambitious side takes over in this Ingress, so we will have more of a go-getter mindset. We also are open to taking chances and putting in a resume for a job we usually feel nervous about applying for due to imposter syndrome. Or the position at your current job that you’ve been on the fence about; this could be a moment where you feel confident about going for it.

Venus, combined with Aries, could cause us to look for freedom in the way we make money. So, this could be a time we are more open to side hustles and freelancing. This Venus is about quick money, so this could be a time when you feel it’s easier to generate side income since this is not open up a business sort of energy. An Aries Venus is about quick gains and not necessarily good with waiting for a slow dime.

This leads me to the lower vibration of this Ingress. We do need to be mindful of the fast money issue in this energy because that could also result in spending impulsively. We also want to make sure we aren't acting too bold at the job due to our newfound brazenness because it could rub others the wrong way.

Venus combined with Aries is excellent for getting things off the ground if they are already a sure thing, but this is not very committal energy in shaky situations. This tends to accelerate our impulses in love life matters. Even though it could cause things to move quickly in dating, this also has another side to it, which could be rushing into a relationship and then changing your mind.

Quick gratification happens with this placement, so there’s an opportunity to meet people who are only looking for that sort of connection. Some of the lower vibes could be all about cheap love, and if that’s not your cup of tea, this could be experienced as a lower vibe. We might meet someone, have a crush, then change our mind entirely, so this isn't great for having an attention span in dating.

Even with the lower vibes, this is still great for getting us back in the driver's seat, so let's use this energy to get the ball rolling on things that needed a kickstart in our love lives and career.
