Soulmate astrology
First of all, what is synastry, how is the synastry chart created, and what can this composite chart tell you about your relationship and its potential?
Synastry is an area in astrology focused on accessing the romantic potential of couples. This is done by overlaying their two charts with each other, in order to generate one composite chart. Just like the individual natal chart, the synastry chart consists of twelve segments called astrological houses, each ruled over by one of the twelve star signs of the zodiac.
Looking at the composite chart reveals the placements and interactions between both partners’ planets and other celestial bodies. The positions that the planets have in relation to each other are called aspects, and they are just as significant as the planets themselves, because they tell you how the planets interact with each other. While some aspects are soft and harmonious, others are challenging and difficult.
A synastry chart rarely if ever consists of only positive or only negative aspects – there is usually going to be a good mix of both. In other words, don’t despair and decide that your relationship is doomed if you see a few hard aspects (oppositions and squares) in the chart. That’s to be expected. By the same token, you cannot know for sure that a relationship is going to be healthy and positive if the composite chart only shows soft aspects (trines and sextiles).
Whether relationships work or don’t doesn’t come down to astrology alone – the astrology can only give you some pointers by showing you what potential is there, and what energies, blessings and obstacles you and your romantic partner are likely to encounter. What you do with that potential, and whether you find ways of overcoming or working around the challenges is up to the two of you.
Having said that, the Venus conjunct Mars synastry aspect is one of the most promising in synastry. In itself, it indicates a rare level of chemistry and romantic attraction. If you and the other person in a romantic relationship share this aspect, you have been dealt at least one very positive card.
Venus in synastry
Venus is the planet of love, beauty, luxury, aesthetics, creativity, sensuality, indulgence and physical pleasure in all of its manifestations. Venus is an energy that relishes all of the beautiful things and the pleasures that the physical realm has to offer – nothing is more important to Venus than to enjoy life, and to indulge all of the senses.
The planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love, beauty, feminine energy and fertility, and it is little wonder why. The planet and the goddess share many of the same qualities. Venus is also associated with the Taurus zodiac sign, an earth sign known for its creative prowess, its desire for luxury and status, as well as for its need for structure and stability.
Venus plays a vital role in astrology as it represents our romantic, luxuriating, creative and sensual side. Venus is considered an archetypal feminine energy, but one that we all possess regardless of gender.
The placement of Venus in your individual birth chart tells you about what you are attracted to, what you take pleasure in, and what you desire. Whenever your Venus is aspected to any of your partner’s planets in your shared chart, you are going to feel strongly emotionally and romantically drawn to them, and particularly to the energy that your Venus is aspected to.
Mars in synastry
Mars is the planet of fire, action, ambition and aggression. Whereas Venus represents the feminine principle by being very receptive, sensual and romantic, Mars is imbued with an assertive, forthright and archetypically masculine energy. Mars is outgoing, self-assured, action-oriented and always ablaze with white-hot passion.
The planet Mars is named after the Roman god of fire and warfare, and shares many of the same qualities. Mars is also associated with the emotionally deep and enigmatic zodiac sign, Scorpio. Scorpio is a water sign, known for its depth of feeling, its mysterious aura and its dark intensity.
Mars is an incredibly important element in astrology, as our Mars placement reveals what lights us up with fire and passion. Mars is the side of ourselves that is unapologetically ambitious, unafraid of setting high goals and going all-out in order to achieve them.
When your Mars is aspected to any of your romantic partner’s personal planets, you are going to feel magnetically drawn to them. Your desire for them is going to be incredible intense. You may even become a little bit obsessed wit them, wanting to possess them and wrap yourself in their energy. The celestial body that your Mars is aspected to is of great importance, as that is the part of your partner’s being that is going to seem particularly alluring and attractive to you.
What does it mean when one partner’s Venus is conjunct the other’s Mars?
So, what does it really mean when your Venus is in a conjunction with your sweetheart’s Mars (or vice versa)?
When you and your partner’s two natal charts are fused together and the composite chart reveals one partner’s Venus and the other person’s Mars in the same sign and perfectly aligned with each other, you have a Venus-Mars conjunction.
The conjunction is the most intense and vibrant aspect in synastry. When two planets are conjunct each other, they both feed off each other’s energy and amplify each other’s influence in the relationship.
Other Venus-Mars aspects includes the hard aspects Venus opposition Mars and Venus square Mars, both of which would cause friction and discord between one person’s Mars and the other’s Venus energies, and the soft aspects Venus sextile Mars and Venus trine Mars. These latter Venus-Mars aspects would create a gentle and harmonious energetic exchange between Venus and Mars – but neither of them would be as potent an energetic cocktail as the Venus conjunct Mars combination.
