Lesson 5: Design Your Dream Relationship
Venus and Mars: Connect or Clash?
Ah, the dance of Venus and Mars—the receptive versus the proactive; the yin and the yang. It's a tango that's part of relationship astrology, and we've created a special navigation system for assessing when you need #VenusTime and when you're #VisitingMars
In an ideal world, we'd easily flow from giving (Mars) to receiving (Venus).
We wouldn't need to keep score or stew in resentment or text our best friends obsessively after every coffee date.
We wouldn't agonize about "pressuring" a romantic interest or "scaring away" the person we love by vocalizing our needs.
We wouldn't freak out and assume that a pregnant pause in a texting thread means that our love interest has dissapeared.
Instead, we'd embrace the space and fill our time with self-care and activities that we are passionate about.
Yeah, if only...
In the nuanced world of dating and relationships, few things are that simple. But the push and pull of Venus and Mars are what keep relationships dynamic and exciting! After all, anything too predictable becomes passé. But without enough security and reassurance, our reptilian brains take hold, sending us into "fight or flight" mode.
So join us on a virtual "shuttle tour" of life on Mars and Venus, and how to keep the oxygen in your relationship on both planets.
