Venus attracts while Mars pursues, so they’re perfect complements to one another and love to work together. In Aquarius, this can mean we’re passionate, but it might be in a more distant way, so rather than sloppy passion, it’s intellectual.
Since Aquarius rules our dreams for the future, we can also channel passionate energy into that instead of our relationships. We can throw ourselves into our dreams and feel heavily invested in the future.
Venus and Mars combined are also super creative energy, so we may focus instead on creative projects and ventures. We can feel more inspired than usual and have more energy for our work.
No matter what, it’s important to have something to channel the passionate energy into; otherwise, that passion can turn on you and make for supreme grumpiness.
