Venus, planet of love and art, is in Aries-Ashwini from March 25th to April 5th 2026, the first nakshatra in the first zodiacal sign.

Ashwini is associated with speed and courage, and its Shakti or special power for Quick Action sees you getting started with a relationship, or reacting to a partner’s bold romantic move. Venus’s natural style prefers balance, harmony, and taking your pleasures slowly, but this nakshatra’s symbol of the Horse gives speed and power, where you risk entering a liaison you may not usually dare. Trust your instincts when you can size a potential love match quickly, and a heroic streak gives you the courage to attempt a romantic conquest.

Ashwini is Sattvic and Earthy in nature, which gives you manners and personal charm, and you also show grace under pressure of an artistic deadline. This asterism is also lorded by the Ashvini Kumaras, the divine physicians, and you may study medicine, wellness, and the healing arts. The Full Moon of April 2nd is an emotional peak where you are feeling open and sociable, and may use Venus’s power to make things happen romantically. By April 4th and 5th, you may be slightly torn and caught between the desire to mix and the need to retire and be quiet.

Make sure to express your intentions carefully, as somebody close to you is in a sensitive mood and may react unexpectedly. You are also well-attuned to other people’s inner lives and may wish to reach out and take care of your partner, or your company simply has an enlivening power to make people feel better.
