One of the popular uses of astrology is to gain insight on romantic compatibility between two people. This is the first in a series of posts that will examine the Venus-Mars connection.
Traditionally the placement of the planets Venus and Mars in both horoscopes are consulted to determine the temperament and attraction factors. Venus rules the aspects that turn on our affections, while Mars rules the way we take action.
But in addition to this, the placements of these planets also influence the type of lover that melts our hearts. The placement of Mars in a woman’s chart indicates the type of man that she will find most attractive and the placement of Venus in a man’s chart indicates the type of woman that will appeal to him the most.
Next: How the astrological signs influence Venus and Mars.

Astro Tip of the Day: Make the Most of Mercury Retrograde
Posted on June 13, 2008
Filed Under Cosmic Clues | Leave a Comment
If you have been feeling a bit confused lately, chalk it up to the fact that Mercury, the fastest moving planet in our solar system has been in retrograde motion since May 26th.
In both mythology and astrology, Mercury rules communication and travel: when it’s in retrograde motion all types of snafus are more likely to occur.
This is a good time to take inventory of your personal agenda and communication methods.
Self-exploration and discovery of your psychological motivations can help you develop a stronger character.
Mercury usually stays in retrograde motion for three weeks and will return to direct motion on June 19th, so it would be wise to put off any major decision making until this time.
Mark your calendar: the next Mercury retrograde period is September 24-October 14.
