That 10º segment of the sky is said to be the part of Aries influenced by Venus, or “Venus in Aries” for shorthand. Aries III (the third decan of Aries) is the decan we’re going to enter this weekend (relative to the time of my writing), meaning that the sun will soon enter the 20✠0'–29✥9’ range of Aries (the last ten degrees of the sign). Let’s take a beat here to explain what that means. In the traditional (Hellenistic?) model, the sacred seven influence the decans, going in order, around and around until all the decans have a planetary influence. Each of these 10º segments of the sign can be thought to have a planetary influence. There are twelve astrological signs, so each sign gets 30º or three decans. The zodiac is a circle (360º), so there are 36 of them. In case you’re new to decans, as most people are, they’re 10º segments of the zodiac.
