Question: Venus-Saturn would be the most important aspect for a beauty queen. Because Saturn wants to make things official, winning a beauty competition would imply that a Venus-Saturn woman is officially attractive. What are your thoughts on this? When Flora Coquerel was crowned Miss France, transiting Saturn was opposite natal Venus in her horoscope. You can imagine the pressure she was under to appear beautiful (Venus) in the eyes of the judges (Saturn), so it’s understandable that this aspect would…...
Question: Does the chart give clues about who is susceptible to this affliction of unrequited love or a deep longing for the other? In my experience, the harsher aspects of Venus and Neptune are the main culprits. In fact, anything that Neptune touches it imbues with a strange kind of longing that is hard to satisfy. And when it is messing around with your Venus (what you value and love), it creates psychic storms in your romantic life. You will…...
Question: With a Venus-Saturn affliction in my chart, I’ve felt many instances where love or my expression of it is restrained or even painful at times. However, I’m wondering if this aspect is really the one associated with all of this pain, whereas the situation calls for you to come to accept pain as a normal part of your love life. I think we need to learn to express ourselves more…but I’ve never read anything in the astrological textbooks telling…...
Question: I have a real love/hate relationship with this aspect because I lay the blame at its feet for some of the highest highs and also the lowest lows of my life. In relationships, I’m constantly in a spiral of idealization, usually mutual. And invariably either I or the other party come crashing down from the clouds in a thud. Love on a Pedestal I always tell myself that next time, I will try to keep both feet on the…...
Many people see only eyeballs while staring into a partner’s eyes, but those born with the aspect of Venus-Neptune in their chart see only their soulmate. The world fades away, and two souls merge into a single being. Transformation occurs: the gorgeous dress, the handsome prince, the fairy godmother, but their magical chariot transforms back into a pumpkin, and the original wonderful mood begins to fade away. While persons who have Venus in aspect to Neptune are more susceptible to falling under love spells,…...
Question: Venus-Pluto wants something or someone so very badly, so intensely, so extremely and so completely that all rational thought can fly north for the winter. It doesn’t matter whether what you want is free to come to you or whether it belongs to someone else—you can’t help craving it? Yes, often with Venus-Pluto you can have feelings for someone that you shouldn’t. Human emotions in the Pluto realm are not always “clean” and logical. There is also often a…...
Is Venus-Jupiter in aspect too restless in love to settle down? Are these people cheaters in relationships? It comes from the fact that Venus and Jupiter are the most unfaithful gods in Greek mythology. Jupiter was often unfaithful, and many of the myths concerning Jupiter pertain to his extramarital adventures with goddesses and mortal women. In pursuing these women Zeus took on many shapes and forms. Aphrodite is an ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation.…...
Those with Venus-Uranus aspects have rock and roll behavior in their love lives and are a little more sensation-seeking than the average individual. Uranus is the planet associated with thrills, excitement, suddenness, and out of the blue activity. So when this activity influences Venus, the planet of all things connected to love and erotism, well, it keeps things very interesting, and alive. Uranus is what I call being scared in a good way, and so Venus-Uranus needs the pounding heartbeat,…...
You may be feeling that the New Year is the time to quit whining about your bad karma in relationships. To know, that you are not “fated” to be alone, you are not “fated to have to settle for a series of failed relationships. To understand that your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Now, some people start this self-love with gazing in…...
Question: As someone with a Venus/Pluto aspect in my Natal Chart, the combination has always intrigued me. In my case, Venus is conjunct Pluto. As one might presume, my interpersonal relationships are very much infused with themes of possession, obsession, devotion, eroticism, and crises. The only relationships (platonic or romantic) that attract me are those of depth and promise. I am extremely private about the goings on within my relationships, and dually solicitous of those I love, or more accurately,…...
