Venus Transiting Aries
Aries heats Venus without crowning her. Pisces would be exaltation and Virgo the fall. Libra lagna meets this transit in the marriage house. Cancer meets it in the career house.

A Mars sign, a neutral dignity
Venus transiting Aries moves through Mars's sign on a Lahiri chart, and the marriage question stays with the 7th house and the D9 Navamsa. Venus is exalted in Pisces and debilitated in Virgo. Aries is neither. In the ordinary friendship scheme Venus treats Mars as neutral, so the sign is a neutral hotel with a hot landlord. Desire becomes more direct, more impatient, and more likely to pick a fight on the way to affection. That is the quality of the transit. The house Aries occupies from the lagna is the topic. A forecast that gives all twelve Sun signs a love month has skipped the count. No ingress date is printed here.
Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn
Libra lagna sees Aries as the 7th. Venus, who also rules this lagna, walks through the marriage house in a Mars sign. Partnerships heat up. The D9 decides whether that heat is welcome. Because Venus rules the 1st and the 8th for Libra, a transit of the lagna lord through the 7th also stirs the 8th's themes of sudden change by rulership, even though the sky-planet is sitting in the 7th. Cancer lagna sees Aries as the 10th. The transit is a career month with a Venus style: diplomacy, art, or a public need to be liked, under Mars's impatience. It is not automatically a wedding month. Capricorn lagna sees Aries as the 4th. Home, vehicles, and emotional comfort get the heat, and career remains the 10th in Libra, a different sign.
Do not buy diamond for the sky
Natal Venus may be fallen in Virgo while the sky's Venus enjoys a braver sign. The resident is still fallen. Use the transit for the house it lights, inside the Vimshottari dasha already running. A Venus mahadasha makes the month important. A Saturn mahadasha with no Venus bhukti makes it a mood. Diamond is Venus's stone and it follows a birth chart that has named Venus, not a transit through Aries. If Aries is your 6th, which it is from a Scorpio lagna, this 'love transit' is actually a dispute transit: Venus of pleasure operating in the house of conflict and debt. Read that before you plan a celebration. Mars will co-rule the story as sign lord. Where Mars is already a Mangal problem in the birth chart, expect the transit to rhyme with it, not to invent a new dosha.
Frequently asked questions
Is Aries a bad sign for Venus?
It is Mars's sign and a neutral dignity, not the fall. The fall is Virgo. The trouble, if any, comes from the house Aries is in your chart.
Does this transit start a marriage?
Only if Aries is the 7th or is tied to the 7th lord, and the dasha is already a marriage period, and the D9 agrees. The transit does not open a closed Navamsa.
Should artists use this month?
If Aries is the 5th or the 10th from the lagna, creative or public work gets the Venus style. If it is the 6th or the 8th, finish existing work rather than launching a romance with a client.
