How the beautiful, peaceful, harmonious and lazy Venus feels in such environment? What is the approach to love, money, art and fashion of the individuals with Venus in Aries?
In the sphere of love Venus in Aries brings sudden excitement and love at first sight. When a man with Venus in Aries sees a woman he likes, he immediately wants to get her. He doesn’t waste his time on courtesy or long conversations. He is very direct and he doesn’t hide his intentions. The longer the woman he likes doesn’t show any interest in him, the more he becomes obsessed about her. Nevertheless, if the love conquest takes too long, he gets bored and quickly finds another woman who will be ready to go to bed with him on the first date. The man with Venus in Aries likes to fight with another men for the woman he loves. He is very satisfied and proud of himself because he has beaten his rivals. The most fascinating phase of romance is the very beginning and the love conquest. When the man with Venus in Aries has already had sex with the desired woman, he quickly loses interest, abandons her, and sets off for a new love conquest. He treats sex as purely physical pleasure and doesn’t always combine it with feelings. In the field of love, the individuals with Venus in Aries are selfish and they don’t respect the needs of their lovers. They are not particularly romantic, they don’t like long talks about feelings nor romantic dinners with candlelight. They have problem with keeping up with fidelity, because they follow their instincts. When they see an attractive person, they start flirting immediately. They find independent, brave, energetic and creative people very attractive. They don’t like people who are sensitive, cold (lunar and saturnian types), because they don’t want to comfort anyone, nor waste time on someone who is arrogant and unresponsive. The ideal partner should be ready for any adventures and to surprise them all the time. If someone cannot stand their fiery temperament and abandons them, he/she will do them a favour, because it will save their time needed for finding a new fascinating love.
When it comes to the financial sphere, the natives with Venus in Aries are extravagant and wasteful. They are impulsive buyers. They don’t analyse how much a certain thing costs and whether they needed it at all. They invest the money they earned very quickly, often in innovative ventures. They want to be pioneers on the market in a given field. Although such strategy is very risky, it seems to work pretty well for them. They prefer to create their own business rather than work for someone unless they are managers. They earn money thanks to their creativity, independence, enthusiasm and courage to invest. They don’t save money because they believe that money generates more money, so they constantly invest in something. The individuals with Venus in Aries can earn in such areas as sports, military, military equipment and all kind of management. They can also earn money as organizers of some events or thanks to their skills, as they often become experts in some field. They like to spend money on their hobbies like sports, military or vehicles.
The individuals with Venus in Aries are very creative in the field of art. They are not followers of tradition or someone else’s ideas, but they create their own, innovative and unique style. They create new trends in art and fashion, which seem to be too modern and too extravagant for others. Nevertheless, after some time other people will understand and appreciate their original ideas. Motion plays the key role in their artistic expression, so they can become great dancers, practice artistic gymnastics, figure skating or other sports in which the artistic expression plays a big part. The individuals with Venus in Aries intuitively know that beauty is not their strength and they feel that they must work on their appearance to look as good as others and even better. Often they want to compete with others and look better than anyone else in their workplace, school, university, etc. The desire to be the most beautiful and admired ones pushes them to work hard on their appearance. They are ready to do everything in order to look great. They can spend a lot of time in the gym, use very strict diets, undergo plastic surgeries or spend a fortune on fashionable clothes, just to look fabulous. Unfortunately, they are never satisfied with their appearance, even when actually they look great. They still want to work on their image to be even more beautiful, which may turn into a grotesque. They like simple but very sexy outfits that show the perfect shape of their sexy bodies. Sometimes their outfit is too provocative. Their clothes should be comfortable, sexy and practical at the same time, e.g. a sporty or military style. They feel good in lively, flashy colours. Women are short-haired very often which gives them a masculine look.
We can find Venus in Aries in the birth chart of American actress and singer Liza Minnelli, whose most successful film was “Cabaret” from 1972. In that film, Liza was wearing skimpy and somewhat vulgar clothes, which were not very sophisticated, but thanks to this simplicity, she looked great. This kind of image was very provocative and was awaking men’s imagination, which is typical for Venus in Aries. Interestingly, in 2004 and 2005 Liza Minnelli was proclaimed the worst dressed Hollywood actress, so her dressing style was not always iconic. Liza Minnelli has a typical male hairstyle (short hair that makes her look like a boy) but somehow it makes her look beautiful. The artist was married four times, and her last husband claimed that Minnelli was beating him when she was drunk. The artist has undergone some plastic surgery, which everyone can see, but she denies it.
The Colombian singer Shakira also has Venus in Aries. When she was 10 years old, she joined the church choir, but she was kicked out because her strong voice, which sounded like bleating ram, did not fit in. The artist didn’t give up on singing and tried to do everything in order to become famous. She wrote her own songs, recorded two albums, but they turned out to be complete failures. Only the third album, called “Pies Descalzos”, released in 1995, brought her success. Hard work finally paid off. Shakira has become so popular at the Latino music market that it drew the attention of the US record companies. In 1998, she moved to Miami. In order to conquer the American music market, she had to transform because she wasn’t considered attractive enough. First of all, she learnt English and started to sing in that language. She also changed her image. Shakira lost a lot of weight, dyed her hair blond and became more sexy. It’s worth mentioning that dancing plays a big part in her artistic career. In her music videos and during the concerts, Shakira shows her original way of dancing and the sensual belly dance. She writes and produces her own songs, because she wants to have control over everything. In 2010, her song called “Waka Waka” became the official anthem of the World Football Cup, which made Shakira even more popular, so sport helped her in some way. Shakira’s life partner is a Catalan football player Gerard Piqué, who is 10 years younger than her. The fact that a person with Venus in Aries is in a relationship with a sportsman and who is much younger is not a surprise.
