Come on, you’re sexy and you know it! If you don’t typically have this level of self-confidence, then when Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is in assertive Aries from May 2-28, 2014, you can expect a huge boost.

Venus in Aries is not exactly the demure type. Nope, when it comes to love she’s nothing but direct and has no problem making the first move. She loves the thrill of the chase and prefers to be pursued as much as possible because it makes her feel more desired. Venus in Aries yearns to be admired for her sassy, independent streak but sometimes, this can pose a problem in love. That’s because she often doesn’t know how to compromise … and let’s face it: a partnership is a two way street. Venus in Aries is fond of declaring: “It’s my way or the highway.” She wants what she wants and she wants it now.

Essentially, Venus is a receptive planet which means she prefers to attract others to her rather than be on the hunt. Aries, on the other hand, is a sign that prefers to hunt. In fact, the hunt is the turn on. As a result, Venus in Aries can be an uncomfortable match because the planet of attraction and charm is busy going out of her way enticing you into mouthwatering desire.

Red-hot romance

Nevertheless, when Venus in the sky moves into this impetuous zodiac sign, we all get a temporary dose of red hot romantic potential. Suddenly, we’re more courageous than ever to go after who and what we want. We may have little trouble asking for our needs to be met in the bedroom and often crave instant gratification. True, you might feel more concerned now with what your lover can do for you rather than what you can do for your lover. This selfish streak can get you into trouble if you’re in a committed partnership. Despite the potential pitfalls of Venus in Aries, if you use it to bring sexy back then this can be an adventurous and passionate time in matters of the heart for all.
