Googling around for Venus/Saturn articles.
I don't know why, all right?
- "So you can see that the classic description "you have Saturn
conjunct/square/opposing Venus and that means you have a problem in
relationships" is really not helpful at all to understand this dynamic:
maybe the problem is there because
the person never learned to take care of his/her emotions to begin
with, and hence is not able to nurture others (you can't give others what you don't have - in this case, what you didn't receive.)
If this is the case, then the first remedial course toward resolution is learning to meet emotional needs of oneself - to pay attention to it, try to nurture it by understanding it; and then try to do the same with others' emotions."
This one's from Venus Williams's chart- Venus square Saturn bit, I think:
- "While she may seek loving relationships and an "everlasting" love, this is not easy for Venus Williams to find - or more precisely, to sustain. When Venus becomes romantically involved with someone, either she or the other person will create rifts once a certain level of comfort and predictability has been achieved. Even if there is no outward break in the relationship, a certain emotional aloofness or dissatisfaction is apt to develop. This is because Venus Williams really wants both closeness and absolute freedom - a combination that is difficult to attain. However, if she does not at least attempt to honestly fulfill both of these urges, events seemingly out of the blue will wreak havoc in Venus' closest relationships."
- Sometimes, the life led in defiance of love (I'll never marry, or date, or have sex with anyone... that IS a man's promise to himself, someone that I know... I'm waiting for Venus to exact her revenge at the denial in his life of her importance...impotence?) When Venus is denied her domination over us (she will demand that WE LOVE) she can ask that another "Ally" (that means any of the other archetypes as she pleases) can wreak havoc in our lives, cause us to "feel" pain--as demanded by her. She demands anyway that we FEEL SOMETHING, ANYTHING, in an extreme case...Venus, as LOVE needs the focus of Saturn for us to be able to either say, "Yes, This IS Forever," or "NO WAY! I'll never let that happen again!"
- "In the process of respecting the gods and goddesses, Saturn gets
priority. Venus represents a mundane need -- it is a personal planet.
We all need to feel loved and appreciated. (Entirely giving up on love
would be dishonoring Venus.) Saturn influences Venus, not the other way
around. We experience the absence or delay of the Venusian. Therefore
we have to give Saturn his due.
Honoring Saturn
Giving Saturn his due means submitting to His trials. For karmic reasons, you just need to plow through the relationship obstacles He puts in your way. There's no avoiding it. But Saturn will reward your hard work and determined approach with wisdom, structure, longevity. I'm not making promises here -- a "beneficial" expression of Saturn-Venus will look different for everyone born with this challenge. One person may overcome difficulty with relationships to become an expert on matters of love. Another may fall in love with someone in a position of authority, or someone many years their senior. A third may be rewarded -- after many difficult years -- with a stable partnership that lasts the rest of their life.
However, none of these options will happen without putting in some serious effort. Remaining in fear, focusing on the "lack" -- these negative attitudes will only result in one's entrenchment in unsatisfying relationship patterns. If you're feeling weighed down, you need to do push-ups! Strengthen your "love muscle" (no, I don't mean that one!) with regular exercise, working against resistance to develop your confidence and groundedness in the realm of relationship."
