You probably already know your Sun sign. But how about your Venus sign? Do you know what it is and what it means?
When you say, “I’m a Virgo,” you’re referring to the zodiac sign which contained the Sun, based on the time and place of your birth, when you were born. Your Venus sign, then, is the zodiac sign which contained Venus, based on the same things. Your Venus sign may be the same sign as your Sun sign, or it may be a different sign.
Each of the bodies in a chart--the Sun, the Moon, Pluto, and the seven planets other than Earth—symbolize a certain aspect or element of our consciousness, of our functioning, whether it’s our inclination to build and maintain relationships with others (Venus), that part of us that wants to make a mark on the world (Pluto), or something else. Each one teaches us which kinds of experiences we need to develop, satisfy, and integrate various "parts" of ourselves.
Whereas our Sun signs represent what we need in order to feel vibrant and alive and to respect ourselves, Venus represents how we create and respond to harmony. Venus is that part of us that wants to get along well with others. She also represents our aesthetic tastes and perceptions or how we feel moved when we see beauty, such as the beauty found in nature. Venus rules inner peace and what sorts of experiences can help us calm down when life jostles and jars our sensibilities. She’s how we relax and have fun. She represents the appealing qualities with which we attract others to us, whether they are beauty, gracefulness, politeness, an elegant way of speaking or moving, or something else. In addition, Venus indicates how we form and maintain supportive relationships.

"The Ram is a natural magnet for stressful, scary situations, including internal or external struggles."
::raising hand:: VE in AR native here, and I can really relate to the above statement. Relationships have always been a challenge for me... I often find a cycle of being that stress magnet, then I back off in fear, eventually I venture out bravely, lack of practice might make me faux pas, and the discord begins again. Not that I haven't made progress over my lifetime, but somehow negative stuff just seems to find me. Just last wk I had another mom read me the riot act for daring to tell her kid what to do... never mind that my motivation was concern for the child's safety. And funny how that didn't happen to another parent who did the same thing some months ago.
Anyway, remembering that VE also relates to creativity, I suddenly made the connection that I need to be more daring in how I approach some of my creative projects. Such joy in serendipitous inspiration!
I would think that being willing to "break some eggs"--both creatively and interpersonally--is sometimes part and parcel of you making the best of your Venus (mayonnaise?), what with its trine to your 1st-house Uranus. It's a fair bit that way, just being in Aries, but Uranus turns up the voltage even further.
