The periods of square will create some obstacles and tension.
When the signs change, the emphasis changes.
While they are both in air signs, affections are cerebal and intellectual. Then mars moves into pisces, and becomes more emotional, poetic, sacrificial Sacrificing in the name of love.
Of course, this creates a clinker when the square takes place, heart and head aren't lined up.
So Venus turns direct, and decides to go after what she likes, but she has a head start on him, so even though mars moves into egotistical Aries, and in theory should match up well with gemini Venus, again they just don't make it. The momentum is off, they have different rhythms. As in many areas of life, timing is basic.
So Venus decides to soften up and become more sentimental, going into cancer, but that doesn't work out too well either. They disagree again, the home hearth and the individualist just don't see eye to eye and clash for the second time.
Will they ever learn?
So mars decides to back up a bit, go retrograde, and Venus takes a chance on getting closer by becoming more ego-minded in leo. To be loved, love oneself.
And finally, they do match up!
End of September, she gets what she wants, and satisfied, decides to celebrate by leaving Leo and entering chaste virgo.
Meanwhile mars continues bumbling backwards trying to pick up lost crumbs, and mid-November gives up, turns direct, but never manages to conclude again with loving Venus, who decides to play the sex card in scorpio, but she isn't very skilled at it (being his sign) and we end the year with a prosecco toast but not a lot of love satisfaction!
Except for those who grasped the chance when it presented itself, that one swift moment in time.
It's like an evolution.
So, from point A to arrive at point B (trine) there is a lot of karma to work out, a lot of adjusting to do, a lot of maturing, shifting points of view, and points of departure.
Maybe not the easiest of years for love, but probably a good one for inspiring Gothic love stories!
I loved reading this, but how can anyone survive. Like sheesh!
