Horoscopes for Venus in Aries, 2025

Dare to desire

When Venus travels through Aries from February 3rd to March 27th, our hearts are in it to win it. Whether you’re putting your cards on the table with a crush, bringing a competitive edge to your flirt-a-thons, exploring a new art form that quickens your pulse, or communicating your desires more frankly than ever, relish the adrenaline rush.

The planet of love and beauty is anything but demure in this Mars-ruled fire sign. Think: the feeling we get when something is so adorable we want to gobble it up (metaphorically, of course). But this kind of assertiveness doesn’t always come naturally to a planet concerned with grace and diplomacy. Venus is traditionally considered to be in detriment in Aries, meaning it struggles to access its usual tact in this placement. Just remember that a little friction or frustration is par for the course during this transit. Then again, busting romantic clichés and playing against stale aesthetic conventions is half the fun. Matters of the heart demand bravery, after all, and the coming weeks double-dare us to zero in on our passions — relentlessly.

Venus retrograde: review, reignite, reclaim

But not so fast. Venus in Aries may be raring to wear a head-turning outfit or gate-crash the local art scene, but a slowdown is on the horizon. On March 1st, Venus stations retrograde in the sign of the ram, foreshadowing a horn-lock or two. During a Venus retrograde, which happens once every 18 months, our pleasure centers can go offline. The planet of love appears to turn backward in the sky and slips into the underworld for 40 days and 40 nights. So if an important relationship loses its luster, if your creative spark seems dimmer than usual, or if everything in your wardrobe suddenly ceases to conjure delight, know that this is all normal — and temporary.

Venus’ retrograde through Aries may be uncomfortable, but it’s an invitation to rediscover your personal convictions and pierce through the stories and patterns that have undermined your agency. At the same time, this period is a potent opportunity to reconnect with your inner warrior. Though this subterranean journey may not be straightforward, Venus’ retrograde in Aries will help us all delve into our deepest caves and tap into the resources that will energize us to love boldly, connect courageously, and keep fighting together for the world we want to live in.

Aries & Aries Rising

Your sense of self is ready for a bold makeover.

Whether you’re pondering a new tattoo or a run for city council, the next few weeks will cast you in the cosmos’ most flattering spotlight. So strike while this iron is hot. And if you’re still brushing up against a little stage fright, turn to your inner pep squad.

There’s no time like the present to honor the people, passion projects, and causes that make you feel blissfully alive — and to grab your main character energy by the horns.

The Taurus zodiac glyph.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

In the coming weeks, fluff your pillows and switch on your lava lamps in your life’s most private sanctuaries.

Carving out solo time is the key to your fiery renewal. Whether you’re unraveling the symbols in your dreams, embarking on a digital detox, or writing your memoirs, a little secrecy is the ace up your sleeve. And if you find yourself confronting the beasties under your bed, dare to befriend them.

The shadowy corners of your inner chambers are no match for the warmth of your self-compassion.

The Gemini zodiac glyph.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Summon your fellow rabble-rousers to make some sweet mischief in your community over the coming weeks. Whether that means joining a rowdy improv troupe, collaging up a storm with your friends, or rallying your crew for the next peace protest, seek out the rebels who bring out your inborn bravery.

A fiery fan base, an enthusiastic support group, or even a little playful competition could raise your risk tolerance. Making mistakes is much more fun when you can all laugh off your blunders together.

The Cancer zodiac glyph.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Your charm and star quality are on the rise.

Whether or not the paparazzi are actually hiding in the bushes, what you bring to the world is turning all the right heads — especially when you trust your instincts and passions to fuel your impromptu elevator pitches.

If a job offer, a leadership opportunity, or 15 minutes of fame fall in your lap in the coming weeks, dare to accept this blessing. Even if you don’t feel 100% ready for your close-up, you’ll affirm your courage by taking a chance.

The Leo zodiac glyph.

Leo & Leo Rising

Trust yourself to blaze new intellectual and spiritual trails — and to have fun while you’re at it.

Over the coming weeks, if there’s an outmoded belief set or stale life story holding you back, toss it into the flames of your fiery convictions. The bold heretics and punk philosophers in your field can inspire you to tango with subversive ideas. So forge alliances with other thinkers on the fringes.

The camaraderie of fellow seekers with equally restless minds will remind you that you’re in good company.

The Virgo zodiac glyph.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Your collaborations are striking sparks. Get ready to bask in the warmth of your exchanges.

Over the coming weeks, bold crowdfunding schemes, co-creative projects, and business partnerships will ignite your courage. You may be more self-sufficient than most, but now is not the time to go it alone. So risk sliding into the DMs of a dream co-conspirator, or dare to start a podcast with your best friend.

Even if you’re flying by the seat of your pants, trust that you’ll stick a soft landing.

The Libra zodiac glyph.

libra & libra Rising

Take a calculated risk in your 1:1 commitments.

Intimacy flourishes when you refuse to play it safe with your best friends, business partners, or beloveds. And you don’t have to try bungee jumping together to get the adrenaline flowing. A gesture as simple as articulating exactly what’s on your heart, without censoring yourself, is enough to raise the stakes of your bonds.

Now is not the time to keep your cards close to your chest. Over the coming weeks, total honesty is your most winning move.

The Scorpio zodiac glyph.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Your daily grind is sweeter when you gamify your tedious work tasks and wellness routines — and rally the support of an accountabilibuddy.

Over the coming weeks, creative solutions to old problems could suddenly appear, but just remember that you don’t have to conquer all your to-dos in a day. Whether you’re weeding the garden, settling into corpse pose, or redesigning your website, ease into the pleasures of the process. Doing so will remind you that victory is simply a bonus.

The Sagittarius zodiac glyph.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

A little adrenaline can set your pleasure pursuits in motion. Whether you’re embarking on a spontaneous road trip with a friend or swiping right on mischief-makers who aren’t your usual “type,” let your instincts guide you toward life’s most invigorating delights.

Wear chili pepper earrings that double as icebreakers. Sketch your next self-portrait upside-down. Curate a playlist that gets your blood pumping and sashay your way through the day’s tasks. Trust your muses to stir up the sweet controversy you’re craving — no apologies necessary.

The Capricorn zodiac glyph.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Tend the flames of your hearth and bask in the warmth of your chosen kin. Whether that means painting your door bright red, cooking a spicy meal with your roommates, or learning your ancestral language, take the initiative in reinvigorating your life’s foundations.

If you’re still working up the courage to move to a new home or toss an old family pattern into the fire, the coming weeks offer ample support and motivation. When in doubt, channel the moxie of your inner ten-year-old.

The Aquarius zodiac glyph.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Lead with your hottest takes and most controversial ideas — and sprinkle in a generous dose of charm.

Whether you’re tackling a taboo topic in your newsletter or test-driving your comedy set, fortune favors full disclosure over the coming weeks. Just make sure you’re stirring the pot with intention. Sometimes sleeping on a blog post or pausing before hitting “send” helps you hone in on the right tone or nuance.

Your words have even more impact when you give yourself time to curate your message and sharpen its edges.

The Pisces zodiac glyph.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Invest in yourself unapologetically.

Whether you’re dedicating more time to a lucrative hobby or exploring the entrepreneurial ideas that make your heart glow, trust your boldest instincts to conjure abundance. It can be intimidating to bet on your own assets, but self-belief has a way of spilling over into all corners of your life.

If your inner critic is pulling out all the stops, seek a friend’s second opinion. Your allies can help you identify what you’ve undervalued within yourself — and cheer you on as you channel your innate talents.
