According to Vedic Astrology when two planets are in one sign- they make a conjunction. But we also study when the planets come exactly together and conjoin. This makes for a very intense connection. When they are together like this it is also known as yuddh – or war like conditions.
Mars Venus connections began on 26 Aug 2008 when Venus moved into Virgo and Mars was already there. They make their first close connection on 11 to 13 September 2009 when they remain two days in war like positions creating friction and stress. This is their most difficult connection as Mars does not work well in Virgo and Venus is debilitated. The next war happen in Pisces where Venus is exalted and Mars in its friends house- 20 to 22 April- here there can be some transformation and endings as Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. It may not be the end of relationships but an end of how you view it. 18 to 24 June 2009 is the longest connection between Mars and Venus in Aries. This shows new beginnings and lessons learnt from Pisces connection are being used now.
