Single stargazers in particular could cycle through contenders quickly. Why waste time or settle? Move it along!
The Astrology Advantage
The Venus in Aries Transit In Love: So Hot It’s Almost Not?
Venus is in “detriment” in Aries, a tricky placement for the cosmic seductress. Feelings can run hot and cold, attractions sizzle and then fizzle. Devoted partners may question their loyalty when they experience a burst of scorching chemistry with someone else.
On the plus side, a Venus in Aries can break up stagnancy, because Aries is an adventurous sign. (Bye-bye love drought!) Since Aries is also the zodiac’s warrior, it might take an explosive lovers’ quarrel to reignite the sparks that lead to exothermic makeup sex.
Single? Romance can come and go faster than a TikTok trend under this fast-moving sign. One day you’ll be glued together and the next, ghosted. Or you may never get past the breadcrumbing phase.
Coupled? Scorching chemistry with someone outside your relationship can take you by surprise. No need to act on it; just bring that surge of feisty energy back home to your partner. If you’ve hit a dating plateau, the April 2024 Venus in Aries transit can inspire you to get back out there and circulate.
Just remember, Aries is a fire sign. Patience is not a virtue during a Venus in Aries transit. You want to know now: Are you into me or not? But careful not to apply too much pressure or come across as desperate and thirsty. You could blow up a perfectly promising situationship with Aries-style aggression.
Caveat: Venus in Aries shares a date card with Mercury Retrograde in Aries
The first full Mercury retrograde of 2024 is in Aries from April 1 to 25, so for the majority of the Venus in Aries transit. Sigh…
As with all Mercury retrogrades, remember to give every important decision some extra “let me think about it” time. The planet of communication can further muddy your interactions now, so double down on your awareness—especially when it comes to what you say, text or vent about. Read about the April 2024 Mercury Retrograde in Aries.
