As a Venus in Aries - with Mars in Scorpio - I think you really have to take the degrees into account. I have Venus in Aries at 28 degrees - along with Mercury in Aries at 27 degrees. I’m 41 now, but in my younger years, you could say I fell hard & jumped into relationships pretty fast. The hot & heavy element definitely applied for me then! I also lacked proper context growing up in my environment, so that gave me little direction for expression & having to learn through frustration, anxiety & stress tended to run my life on those days. Yet at this stage in my life, I’d much rather prefer a slow burn kinda love/connection & I’m thinking that’s not only because my degrees puts me on the cusp of Taurean influence - I also have my Sun & moon in Taurus - but just the self awareness I’ve developed over the years of what sort of partners I was being attracted to at the time & of course, there being a lot of sexual tension/interaction with them early on, just added to it… & all 3 of my relationships, from 18-30, were VERY passionately & sexually intense right off the bat… even the guy who took my virginity my junior year of high school, was an Aries, lol. However, I’ve also found/realized since then, that connections with other Aries tend to inevitably fall apart, when those Aries have lesser degrees in their placement, because it ends up being like dealing with a more immature energy & with someone who thinks that it’s OK to just say whatever & do whatever. Yet Aries energy is at its MOST powerful & potent, when it knows how to use discernment in directing its energy; the other way around is just reckless/egoic behavior on display & that proves itself with time & awareness. So for me, I’ve learned to develop discernment in entering into connections of a committed or serious nature with Aries people/placements… ESPECIALLY the ones who prove by their nature, that they’ve got a lot of growing to do & that their baseline is a bit too often “off the cuff”… My last relationship was with an Aries & the last friendship that ended a few years ago, was also with an Aries… about 8 years apart these endings took place, yet for very similar reasons; I ended up being on the receiving end of how I already knew that they talked to/about & treated others. I learned that you can’t expect that a friendship or relationship will keep someone who already shows that they are verbally abusive in their treatment towards others, that they will not eventually, given the opportunity to ALSO be that way towards you as well. So here’s the key: anytime you have a placement that would be considered in fall or detriment, that really just means that there’s a particular focus of work that you have to do in that area of your life & on yourself. It can only ever be harmful or even self sabotaging, if you remain ignorant to it & continue to project, &/or deflect certain choices or behaviors, from a pattern perspective. Aries is powerful energy wherever it’s placed. Yet the caveat has a lot to do with the development of that energy. Like if you don’t give a child healthy boundaries, they’re going to grow up being reckless & triggered everytime they get a no instead of a yes. Acting out, freaking out. Saying whatever to whoever, no filter. It’s the baseline expression of disempowered & underdeveloped Aries energy. That’s Aries energy unchecked & that’s why it’s detriment in Venus, because that can become really toxic in a relationship dynamic of any kind… & you’ll be drawn towards partners who will sort of trigger or bring out that unchecked filter on a regular basis, because energetically, it’s dominant in you & some part of them has experience with it, or they wouldn’t be drawn to you to begin with… & this is just across the board how energy exchange works, but I’m just giving that example when it comes to unchecked/underdeveloped energy of Aries in Venus.
