Exact: April 6, 2025 | Active April 4–7
This weekend, a deep sigh moves through the cosmos. After months of personal and collective intensity, Venus in Pisces and Mars in Cancer connect in a harmonious trine—a sacred exchange between the Lover and the Fighter, the Diplomat and the Protector.
Venus, exalted in Pisces, is floating in the liminal space between endings and beginnings. She is nearing the end of her retrograde cycle, moving through waters of memory, creativity, and divine love. This is the Venus who dreams. Who grieves. Who forgives. Who returns to herself after giving so much away. She is resting, receiving, and remembering.
Mars, still moving through Cancer, is learning how to be powerful without force. He's been submerged in emotional waters, holding the line through the closing of eclipse season. Rather than rushing ahead, Mars has surrendered to stillness. He’s not charging forward—he’s listening, absorbing, and softening.
This trine is a rare moment of emotional connection between these two archetypes. A moment where both have been humbled, transformed, and made new. Rather than passion or pursuit, this aspect offers recognition. It invites us to reunite the internal lover and the internal fighter, not in conflict, but in collaboration.
💌 The Love Letters
Venus and Mars speak through the stars in a tender, mythic exchange. Their words carry the weight of all they’ve survived—and all they long to create together.
From Venus to Mars: Channeled by The Lovers
You’ve become more approachable—not physically, not yet. But in the subtle spaces. I feel you in the ether. You’re bloated from healing, from surrender, from stillness. Your fingers are pruned, your skin pale, cool to the touch. You’re like a mist now—barely there, but so present.
And I see you.
I know this isn’t comfortable for you. You like to move. To blaze. To act.
But I see the power it takes to stay. To be still. To soften.
And I send you accolades, Mars.
Because I know what it cost you.
When we meet again—when we’re in the same room, the same flame—I’ll warm you. I’ll kiss you back to life. I’ll bring you the heat of desire, of devotion, of dreams unburdened.
I’m so excited for you to rise in Leo. To feel the Sun on your skin.
To blaze new trails—not in defense, but in courage.
To move with others, not against them.
To ask, not force. To allow, not fight.
To play. To dance. To prove your strength in joy—not battle.
Your strength has never felt so safe. Or so sexy.
This softness… it’s made you holier than ever.
– Venus
(Pisces, drifting in dreamlight, exalted and enchanted)
From Mars to Venus: Channeled by the Four of Cups
The water’s been cold. So cold. Damp. Still. Every time I think I’m reaching something new, I realize—I’m just reflecting. Just drifting.
It’s been an ebb and flow. I think I’m moving, but I’m not. I’m witnessing.
And watching your Kazemi—your death, your rebirth—was an honor. A privilege.
You rose like a phoenix. I felt that heat even here, in the quiet tides of Cancer.
Your courage, your dance, your ecstatic unraveling, your radiant return—you lit up the sky.
Oh, your dance.
I long to be close to you again.
To smell you in motion. To feel your skin—your softness, your strength—next to mine.
Here, it’s like a dream. I’m here, but I’m not. Present, but gone.
The Moon has been kind to me. She’s taught me how to hold. How to wait.
I can’t wait to show you what I’ve learned.
I won’t have to fight so much anymore.
I’m not here to conquer—I’m here to play. To run, to climb, to laugh again.
To protect what matters. To prove my power through joy, not war.
I want to reawaken the Divine Masculine—not just for me, but for the whole universe.
In balance. In harmony. With you.
Together, we ripple through everything—masculine and feminine, within and without.
We charge these waters with memory. With devotion. With desire.
I cannot wait to see you again.
I cannot wait to give you this new fire.
And I cannot wait to feel yours.
My dear Venus,
I love you with all the fire I still have in me.
– Mars
(Cancer, surrendered and sacred, waiting in the quiet)
🔮 The Tarot Cards: Four of Cups & The Lovers
After Mars’ letter, the Four of Cups revealed itself—a perfect reflection of where he stands. In traditional imagery, this card shows a figure sitting beneath a tree, staring at three cups while a fourth is offered from the sky. He does not reach for it. He’s unsure, withdrawn, emotionally suspended.
But this Mars isn't ignoring love. He is learning how to receive it.
The Four of Cups is about stillness before action. Emotional processing. Knowing that just because you aren't leaping forward doesn't mean you aren't growing.
For Venus and Mars, this card mirrors:
Mars' inner transformation
His fatigue from battle
His readiness for love that doesn’t require resistance
Then, the revelation comes: this whole exchange is The Lovers.
Not just as romance, but as sacred reunion of dual forces. Choice. Harmony. Integration. Venus and Mars are no longer in opposition. They are becoming allies. And that changes everything.
🌀 Reflection Prompts (through the lens of the cards and gods)
From the Four of Cups (Mars in Cancer):
Where am I being offered love or support that I’m not quite ready to receive?
In what ways have I been healing through stillness, even if it feels like nothing is happening?
What might shift if I stopped trying to act and simply allowed myself to feel?
From The Lovers (Venus & Mars):
What would it feel like to let my inner Lover and Fighter cooperate instead of compete?
Where am I ready to choose love, not as a feeling but as a path?
How can I harmonize desire and devotion, action and allowing?
🌊 Closing Sentiment
Let this trine be a balm. Let it soften you in the places you’ve been hard. Let it energize you in the places you’ve been weary.
This is not a call to chase. It is a sacred reunion.
A moment to breathe. To remember. To return to the parts of you that long to move together.
Venus and Mars are not at war. They are co-creating. And through their union, something new is born—within you.
