Mars and Venus in the Chart: How You Conquer and What You Expect from Others

Mars and Venus reveal how you love, desire, and conquer. Discover what your chart says about relationships and what you expect from them.

You may have heard that Venus represents love and Mars represents desire. But when these two come together in your astrological chart, they reveal much more: they show how you conquer, what attracts you, and what you expect from those you get involved with. In fact, it’s quite common for people to act one way when flirting and then, once in a relationship, seem like a completely different person. There’s an explanation for this, and it lies with these two planets! Shall we explore how Mars and Venus influence your love life?



What Venus Reveals About You



Venus shows what you value in a relationship, how you show affection, and what makes you feel loved. It’s the more romantic and sensitive side, even if you’re not the type to enjoy sentimentality. Therefore, depending on the sign Venus occupies in your chart, your way of loving changes quite a bit.

What Mars Reveals About You

While Venus speaks to what attracts you emotionally, Mars shows how you go after what you desire. This includes your way of flirting, what seduces you, and even how you argue. In other words, Mars reveals your energy for action in relationships.
