Venus in Aries: 3 Tips to Secure Love and Happiness

We know that all good things must come to an end yet we need to keep going, making the best of what comes. As the saying goes, “If life sends you lemons, make lemonade.” Until recently, Venus was exalted in Pisces, bringing an abundance of bliss, creativity, wealth, devotion and delightful vibes into our lives. Some detachment from excessive sensual pleasures in favor of nobler and purer relationships ticked our souls just enough to evoke a higher world. This scenario won’t come back for almost a year. Now as Venus moves through the sign of maximum individuality—between April 25 and May 14—you could notice a stirring, even longing for a love that’s a bit more personal, a tad more aggressive. An impulsive drive to a relationship comes either as a blessing or a hindrance, depending on your goals. So to enjoy more creativity, loving relationships and turn difficulty into happiness—here for you, three easy tips to keep harmonious connections and follow the natural, joyous impulse of life to leave your unique mark on the world.

1. Mind Mars

Mars rules Aries. Venus will feel the heat (or discomfort) of Mars’ position in the 8th house of sudden changes and transformation accompanied by a not-too-flirty Saturn. This isn’t a match made in heaven, because Saturn and Mars hold opposing views, priorities and agendas. If you are in a relationship, you’ll need to bite your tongue, because an impulse to lash out, especially if you feel you’re right, will be so strong that you may need to walk away to another room or better yet, out of the house to keep peace. Now some healthy distance coupled with increased courtesy will save a relationship. Reciting Mars’ special sound waves—OM MANGALAYA NAMAHA—will somewhat defuse tempers. Wrong use of the planetary rays coming from a super strong Mars retrograding in his own sign could end a relationship. In fact, with the presence of Saturn often comes a sense of loss. Sponsoring rituals to Mars, Goddess Durga or Muruga will bring you happiness in relationships.

2. Get fit

Venus brings beauty—this is a Venus that comes in workout clothes. The more fit and buff you’ll become, the more attractive and beautiful you’ll appear. Exercise boosts self-confidence and brings luster to your complexion. You can defuse any after-work tension or unhappiness with the natural endorphins (or hormones) resulting from an hour at the gym, a brisk walk or an easy run in the park. You’ll want to get into a much better shape and invest in new beautiful yoga or workout outfits. You’ll feel both happy and energized.

3. Ask for help

Hiding sorrow behind your smile? We forget that divine beings of great power are a prayer (or ritual) away and can intervene to end your pain. Whether it’s the financial aspect or the romantic side of your life that’s secretly torturing you, you can get help. To acquire wealth, fire rituals to Venus and Lakshmi can solve your problems—often in surprisingly new ways. To attract the right partner, Muruga and Ganesha are masters in providing swift assistance. Connect with them through special rituals performed by Vedic professionals. At home, offer white or yellow flowers, a lamp (or candle), fruit and incense to Venus and Goddess Lakshmi. You can easily download images of the planet of love and the Goddess of wealth and beauty. Bathing their statues with milk and rose water is even more powerful. Recite their vibrational sounds:

OM SHUKRAYA NAMAHA (for Venus)

OM LAKSHMIYEI NAMAHA (for Lakshmi)

Ask for what you need and thank both with sincere gratitude. Enjoy the energies!
