The Difference between Venus in Aries and Mars in Aries?

[soratothamax]

Both planets are energized by Aries, but what's their difference? What's their difference on outlook? Is one only energetic in relationships, but not on a day to day? Or is one energized when in relationships, rather than by everything?

Is one more active than the other?

Mars represents action and Venus, state of being.
The action is very different. And Mars rules ARies but Venus in Aries is not really happy or comfortable. That is why it is considered in its detriment.

The house position and aspects to Venus will modify - and also whether the chart belongs to a woman or a man.

I have venus in aries in the 5th house and Im sure this has caused some arguements with significant others thats for sure. When younger I questioned my potential to be desireable and feminine. When goaded I had quite a temper. Ive gotten a lot better thanks to a mature Taurus who taught me how to be a grownup.

Good thread!

Depends whether the chart belongs to a man or woman,
Venus from what I read, is afflicted in Aries (opposite planet of Venus is Mars which is Aries' planet) and where the planet is placed and it's aspects as well.

Basically Venus (an artistic/feminine planet) is not well placed in Aries, a very masculine/sporty sign but it IS well placed in Mars (named after the Roman God of war) it's natural ruler which makes sense.

Examples:

A man with Venus in Cancer might be attracted to a domestic, motherly type of woman, his Mars sign will show in what way does he try to attract the woman he wants, if his Mars is in Aries, he'll likely be very assertive and competitive with any other guys that want her.

A woman with Venus in Aries might be a tough, masculine type of woman, Mars in a woman's chart, shows what kind of man she'll be attracted to, and if she has a Mars in Pisces, she might be into sensitive, soft types of guys.
This could be bad because the type of guy she wants might be into a more feminine type of woman and since her Venus is in Aries, she might have a hard time expressing her femininity, Venus in a woman's chart, describes how she expresses her femininity.

In a nutshell:
A man with Venus/Aries might be attracted to masculine types of women.
A man with Mars/Aries might be sporty, competitive, assertive.

A woman with Venus/Aries might very boyish, might have a hard time expressing her femininity.
A woman with Mars/Aries might be attracted to masculine, independant, macho types of guys that are pretty strong.
