How the odds are calculated →

What these two planets are doing

Mars

Drive, appetite and how conflict gets handled.

Venus

What someone finds attractive and how they show affection.

At 180° the question this pairing raises is whether wanting things together produces heat or friction, set against whether the same gestures read as love to both. A opposition puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Mars moves 1.9 times slower than venus, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.
