&Birth Analysis<br />
You will often feel the influence of this aspect, though stronger influences may predominate in other areas of your chart.<br />
When reading the following description, please bear in mind that you are a fast learner and overcome any difficulties involved<br />
very quickly. You can expect to use this aspect constructively and harmoniously.<br />
You get into too many arguments, and rarely consider the idea that you may be wrong. This truculent manner probably stems<br />
from conflicts in childhood with brothers, or perhaps your father. You worked out then that the best means of defence was<br />
offence. Yet troubles arise later in life because your frank and direct manner makes people feel that you are offensive. You<br />
don’t always have to tell people what is on your mind. You hate to be bossed around or told what to do, so make an effort not<br />
to act in this way with others. Give them time to express themselves without interrupting, and resolve to stop criticism and<br />
arguments. Women with this aspect are often attracted to rather sharp men who may have questionable morals, or be rather<br />
argumentative types, although this is a projection mechanism based on inner conflicts. Men tend to retain adolescent qualities<br />
and act at times as if they know everything.<br />
For both sexes it is important to slow down, otherwise the nervous system can be adversely affected. When you channel your<br />
enormous energy into creative, fun projects, you can achieve a great deal.<br />
Though not especially strong, you will be able to feel the influence of this aspect under many circumstances.<br />
The influence of this planetary connection is subtle and unconscious. You can however expect quite acute periodic crises when<br />
the negative effects of the aspect manifest themselves.<br />
As Mars and Venus are the male and female archetypes, this combination brings a powerful need to resolve the dilemma<br />
between the sexes. Harmonious aspects show greater ease in this matter, but inharmonious contacts and the conjunction bring<br />
extremely difficult challenges. Often confusion about the sexual role stems from the impression given by the parents<br />
concerning their love-life, particularly if infidelity was involved. Women with this aspect often experience a strong contrast<br />
between the demands of femininity and those of sexuality, and in extreme cases the man is perceived as being a primitive only<br />
interested in sexual satisfaction. Actually the woman sends strong sexual signals but gets confused about the response she<br />
receives, not knowing whether to take the initiative, (ladies don’t do that), or be passive. The paradox is that women with this<br />
aspect have strong masculine traits, and can resent the man taking the initiative. Men with this aspect will sometimes have<br />
rather feminine traits, and have difficulty taking the initiative.<br />
Whatever the circumstances, the erotic life plays an important role in the character, and there is a strong tendency towards<br />
sexual involvements which can be a threat to stable relationships. There is in both sexes a difficulty in integrating the loving<br />
nature with passion and desire - when to be tender and affectionate, when to go your own way? When to be attached, when to<br />
be detached? When to be chaste, when to let the body take over? When a balance is found, then there is great potential to have<br />
enjoyable relationships on both the physical and spiritual level.<br />
This aspect is of medium strength and its influence will often be felt, though not acutely.<br />
There will be great difficulty in integrating these two planetary influences, and the promised harmonious results will only arise<br />
after you have expended time and effort.<br />
You may well be an exciting person to be with because of your sharp intellect, optimistic nature and sense of fun. If you are a<br />
man, you will enjoy the company of your own sex, and be engaged in many activities, perhaps connected with sport or travel.<br />
You can excel in mental sparring contests and the thrill of debate. However there may be a tendency to pontificate, or<br />
generally make your opinions known in a rather dominating manner. Knowledge and understanding are strong motivating<br />
factors for you, so you like to sharpen your mind with discussion and involve yourself in cultural interests.<br />
Women with this aspect are attracted to intelligent men, and often have attachments to foreigners. The most important<br />
motivation factor when choosing a man is his ability to expand her mental horizons - either through religious, political,<br />
philosophical or cultural interests. An intellectual watershed arises in the relationship, where the man is no longer able to<br />
satisfy the intellectual hunger of the woman. How this issue is dealt with is critical for the success of the relationship. The most<br />
important thing for both sexes is to take personal responsibility for ensuring constant intellectual or philosophical expansion<br />
and personal growth. Relationships would improve dramatically, if you were able to admit that sometimes you are wrong.<br />
It may be difficult for you to discern the influence of this combination of planetary energies; it is weak and may be outweighed<br />
by stronger influences.<br />
