April 2009 Monthly Horoscope – Venus-Mars conjunction

Venus-Mars conjunction:

Due to the retrogradation, in 2009 Venus will form two exact conjunctions with Mars: on 22nd of April 2009 (in Pisces) and on 21st of June 2009 (in Taurus). The two planets will go side by side for an unusually long period, the conjunction being operative between April 11th and July 5th 2009!

At a macro level, the Venus-Mars conjunction influences especially the military, industrial, artistic, sportive and medical world. It stimulates the interest for having fun, socializing, social events, associations, contracts, creativity, the artistic and decorative sense.

Since it generates instinctual behavior as well, with intense and subjective reactions, with spontaneous attachments and aversions, the Venus-Mars tandem also has negative effects. It can exacerbate nationalistic feelings, disregard values and act illogically and passionately, in a way that harms understanding, peace, consensus, cooperation and negotiations.

At a personal level, the Venus-Mars conjunction stirs up primitive instincts, makes reason obey senses, predisposes to rush and risky acts.
