Venus trine Mars

What Venus trine Mars means

Venus is love, beauty, values and pleasure, and Mars is drive, desire and anger. A trine connects planets in the same element, so they speak the same language. In fire signs the pair is bold, in earth signs sensual and steady, in air signs social and witty, and in water signs deeply felt.

The result is that wanting and acting are not at war. You usually know what you like and can pursue it without much inner argument. That is a real advantage in love and creativity, though a trine is quiet by nature. It rarely announces itself, and it is easy to underuse.
