Venus and Mars will align in the sky on February 23, 2024, in the sign of Aquarius, shining down creativity, harmonizing imbalances, and activating soulmate contracts.
Venus is the Goddess of Love, and Mars is the Fearless Warrior. While they conjunct on February 23, we are going to feel the merging of these two energies for about a week on either side of this date.
When Venus and Mars come together, we experience a rebirth of their energies and a new awakening of both the feminine and masculine principles within us.
This awakening is going to help us shift our attitudes toward our sexuality, our relationships, and the feminine and masculine energies within.
With the Eclipses this year in Aries and Libra, this union of Venus and Mars may also kickstart the lessons and growth we are destined to move through under the sign of partnership (Libra) and the sign of independence (Aries).
Understanding Venus
Venus represents sacred feminine energy. This energy lives within all of us and all of nature. It is represented by wavy lines, ocean waves, and the process of flowing. It is that intuitive whisper, that tear trickling down the cheek, that open heart, and the wanderer’s journey. It is a cool breeze, the sound of rain, the Moon, and the dark night sky.
In Astrology, Venus is the planet of love, harmony, money, and beauty. Its energy inspires us to connect with our inner Goddess, fan our creative flames, create wealth, and surround ourselves with beauty.
Understanding Mars
Mars represents sacred masculine energy. This energy also lives with all of us and all of nature. It is represented by straight lines, sturdy ground, and the process of taking action. It is our rational mind, the ability to speak our truth, and the stability and security we need to survive this 3D world. It is the warm Sun, the bright blue sky, and the feeling of accomplishment as we close our eyes at the end of the day.
In Astrology, Mars is considered the planet of action, motivation, and fearlessness. Its energy inspires us to forge ahead, to push past our fears, and to find our inner confidence and strength.
