Mars & Venus Conjunction 2017

Mars & Venus are the two radically different planets. When they sit together, it creates a very charged up scene in the sphere of passion. Mars is about action, raw energy and aggression. It believes in getting things done and embodies the virtue of intensity & passion to the core. Venus, on the other hand is soft passion, accommodation in love & marriage and charm to achieve success. When these two come together in a chart, it increases the intensity - be it in love & relationships or in karma & work.

Mars & Venus have beeen in a close transit from November 2016 and continue till the next 11 months, the results would be in form of a rise in passionate love & high professional ambitions & success at the same time.
This is a sticky transit as its effects would be felt in varying degrees over the next 11 months till 5th October 2017. During this period, the emotions usually run high and the passion overtakes along with feeling happier to be achieving it rather than staying passive about it. Passion Karma runs high during thistime. A person is likely to achieve the desired - be it on the professional front or in relationships. This transit is known to provide a lucky window to approach & complete your financial projects with much rigor and passion. The results are generally achieved if done at the right time when Mars Venus Combine is operative.
This transit gives an ability & courage to make things work in your favour - both at work and in love & relationships. The precise cycle of effects would start peaking in Feb-March 2017, which would be the time when one should expect much progress at work, courage in public life & ability to stand up against the world.
After the rise, the matters would slowly die down during May & August 2017 but the same above mentioned cycle would come back from August 2017 reaching a crescendo in early October 2017.

What are the Water signs in Astrology?:

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Why are they called Water signs?:

There are four triplicities in Astrology that are grouped by their element. The other triplicities are earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo), fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and air signs(Libra, Aquarius, Gemini).What are the general characteristics of the Water signs?:

Water signs are attuned to waves of emotion, and often seem to have a built-in sonar for reading a mood. This gives them a special sensitivity in relationships, knowing when to show warmth and when to hold back. At their best, they are a healing force that brings people together -- at their worst, they are psychic vampires, able to manipulate and drain the life force of those closest to them.Water signs are tuned into the many shades of meaning in relationships, and at times can absorb "vibes" from others. They have to work harder than other elements to maintain their personal boundaries.
How are the three Water signs different?:
Within their triplicity, the water signs each belong to another group known in astrology as qualities. For the water signs, Cancer is a Cardinal sign, Scorpio is a Fixed sign, and Pisces is a Mutable sign. In basic terms, Cancer leads and initiates, Scorpio goes deep with a fixed focus and Pisces is changeable, hard to pin down.
Water and Earth:
Water signs can soften Earth and take them into the deeper emotional layers of intimacy. This brings touchy and feely together for a satisfying physical relationship in romance. Earth can help Water with the practical challenges of life, and encourage them to bring their gifts into the real world through some tangible effort.Water and Fire:
Water and Fire can be one steamy combination under the right circumstances. Water can add emotional nuance to Fire's instinctual responses, and help Fire learn things like tact, compassion and how to nurture. Fire can blaze a trail for Water out of the swampy abyss of inaction. Their vitality and enthusiasm lifts Water up, so they can find their way. Like with any element, there's a danger here of mutual harm if things are not in balance. Fire can dry up Water, and make them feel brittle and undernourished. Water can smother Fire, put out the flames of inspiration, which usually sends them right out the door.Water and Air:
Water can help the Air sign make the deeper emotional connection. Water inspires Air to create a stronger personal base for what they're saying, by meaning what they say. Air signs help Water put their feelings into words, and understand the patterns at play in their lives. Air encourages the insights of Water, and can be a motivating force for creative expression.Water and Water:
Here is a pair that can dive together into the deep end, for better and worse. They'll understand the need of the other for "me" time to process all they've experienced. But two Water signs can easily merge and lose their sense of boundaries. This might not always be a bad thing, but at times it might feel like two people at the mercy of the emotional highs and lows of life. With balancing elements, this can be an incredibly close bond, to the point of being telepathic.
The Water Element in Astrology:
Those with planets in Water signs are often assessing a situation by its undercurrents. It can give them an air of being aloof or even shy at first, but they're the warmest of souls when you've won their trust. Going forward in a relationship or situation often means being sure of their emotional ground, a kind of decision-making process that is baffling to others. Their perceptions border on psychic, but these insights get clouded by the intensity of feelings, or are altered by the vivid imagination.The nuances of feeling experienced by Water signs can lead them into the arts. Some find release from their own personal dramas when they're able to express them as universal. As writers, musicians and actors, they help others make sense of the human experience. But this also happens in everyday life, since Water signs soften the edges of the mundane by padding it with emotional meaning.Water is a formless element on its own, and that's why those with this sign are so quickly shaped by their relationships to others. They need time alone to remember where they end and others begin. And to let what's been stirred up by life find its way to a quiet calm again. These are people who need people, but also need the restoring space of solitude.
