Hello All,

I recently had a client that I had known from my college years come in for a consultation.  This client was, and still is very attractive, and she apparently has not lost her ability to flirt as she was known to by those back in college and high school.  Through the years of my studies as an Astrologer it had become clear to me that for the most part, both men and women who have an Aries Venus in their chart are prone to being overly flirtatious, or above what is considered a “normal” level of flirtatiousness.  However, this woman had always seemed to over step the boundaries of flirting, coming off as an aggressive hyper sexual siren with the short skirt hemline to prove it.

Still, just because she had an Aries Venus in her chart it could not, or should not completely explain the degree of her flirtatiousness.  There had to be something else that would explain her overt sexual expressions.  Well, several months ago I finally received all the birth information needed to build her chart, and to my great interest I found that she not only had Venus in Aries, but it was Peregrine to boot!  A Peregrine planet is one that does not make any major aspects to any of the other planets in the chart.  When a planet cannot connect with the other “family members” (other planets) in the home (chart) it becomes wayward or “out of control”; what else could one expect?

Please, do not get me wrong here.  Although I would never give away this woman’s name, she was not a promiscuous woman or girl.  It was well known that she was a “nice” girl but with the propensity to advertise in a completely otherwise manner.  Little did she realize that many of the boys, and men, felt her to be a huge tease.  Or did she know?  Well, we were about 20 minutes into the consultation when this “tease” aspect came to the topic of conversation.  She had told me that she had been married three times and had obviously not found the right man.  Then she winked at me, reached out across my desk to touch my hand in an ever so gentle fashion.

I said with a little hoarseness in my throat, that I was a happily married man to which she replied, “that’s alright with me.”  It was then that I raised the “tease” aspect with her and asked her how this behavior had served her.  She became a little flushed with embarrassment and replied “not very well.”  I then proceeded to ask her what it was that she was really trying to convey.  I told her that I did not really feel that she meant these provocative gestures or behavior.  She simply said that she “just wanted to be noticed”, that she wanted attention!  I told her that this was not a constructive  way in which to begin new romances.  The expectations were way off and there could only be disaster waiting ahead.  She agreed, and we continued on with the consultation.

I will not guarantee that the above described behavior is solely due to a Peregrine Venus in Aries, but it sure is a place to start Astrologically.  Her Venus was also in the 11th house (love received) strongly suggesting that she had come to learn that if she was going to get any attention or affection that this was how to express herself.  We continued to further explore how this early belief began and where it originated.  Venus rules her 12th and sixth houses, the Cadent House Axis of cooperation and standards of society.  Peregrine Venus had run amok, not knowing or realizing that there were any boundaries at all, as well as being in hard aspect to the Nodal Axis (mother).  Even as late as into her fifties did it seem that she had not understood the full impact of this behavior.

By the end of the consultation my client did not feel the need to further hyper sexualize herself to me (and hopefully others), and we briefly and cogently discussed the past and what her expectations were for the future. It was at this point that the full impact of her behavior seemed to really come to light for her.  She became teary and apologetic to which I insisted there was no need, that she had indeed found resolution to this behavior and what’s more, the reason for this behavior.  My client seemed pleased and reinvigorated for the potential of the present, and the release of her past.

So, as this story ends try and remember that there is so much more to one’s chart beside the Sun and Rising signs.  The psycho-dynamics that are expressed by one planet not in aspect to the others should serve as a reminder of this to us all.
