Thank you so much for your astute impressions, Empress
Hmm yeah this makes sense, I certainly have confused them a few times
, horrible for all involved. And yes I used to have a bit of an issue with provocativeness but I always attributed that to uranus conjunct ASC and square the sun; however the implication of venus/mars is an interesting consideration for sure, with mars' brashness tied to venusian pursuits.
I was pretty wild back in the day but am considerably dampened down now eheh. I agree that I fall fast and that I find romance incredibly intoxicating (it can certainly be abused like a drug), plus I think venus and mars being in the 5th exacerbates what can be a relentless pursuit.
I guess I just figured that venus and mars connected in this manner are acting dualistically irrespective of the signs, but I suppose that is aligned with the traditional concept of venus representing the feminine and mars the masculine. I don't even interpret them divided within such defined confines myself. The dual signs theory makes sense to me, and I find the attribution to air interesting... Will have to think on that one. Gemini certainly resonates.
Yeah, especially the latter for me, which I think has been my saving grace; sex is repugnant to me without love.
