Aspects of Venus and Saturn

Venus – Saturn Conjunction

Close relationships with others do not come easily to the native. They have been hurt in the past and are therefore reluctant to open up to others, because they fear experiencing pain again. Having painfully endured unsuccessful experiences, it is as if they decided within themselves that if they do not become attached, they will not suffer. Because of this attitude, people perceive them as cold, detached, insensitive, and indifferent. Their task is to learn to open up and relate to people with warmth, regardless of the possible consequences. They must remember that they cannot find true love if they are not able to give it first. Love is not a barter transaction, and they should not expect those they love to treat them in exactly the same way. It does not work like that. This aspect tries to teach them that love is a higher feeling, all-embracing, and must be given without any conditions.

It is difficult for the native to trust people because of past painful experiences, so it may take time to remove all barriers and open up to others. Perhaps they feel unworthy of love and can invent many reasons to confirm that there is nothing about them to love. This type of thinking is self-deception. They have the same right to love as any other person, but they should know that love also carries obligations. They are worthy of love, and there is a great deal for which they can be loved, but in order to understand this, they must change their attitude toward it. People care about them, but they tend to leave if they feel that the native is trying to distance themselves. They should open their emotions and take the chance to become happy. It will not kill them unless they allow it to.

The native needs to learn to value and love themselves, while expressing appreciation to others more openly. Not only through material gifts, but also through an honest and sincere attitude. They are very tolerant and loyal toward those they love. They tend to be very serious and responsible in relationships, although they may become involved with a partner significantly older or younger than themselves. They should try to become less sensitive and more forgiving when they feel that a loved one is neglecting them. They have a need to feel safe, and if they do not feel this, it confuses them and evokes all kinds of negative emotions.

It is difficult for the native to show love. They should stop being so stingy in expressing affection, as well as in relation to their possessions. They are greedy, and this is clearly not one of their virtues. After all, they will not be able to take everything with them when they leave. So why not use some of it now and give themselves and their loved ones a little happiness? Often, they tend to identify the possession of property with a way to feel more confident and secure. This is another illusion. In reality, they will not become less confident or lose their position by losing possessions. In essence, the only true wealth they have and keep is what they are able to give to others. This is another lesson they will need to learn. Nevertheless, they are a reliable friend who can be trusted.

Venus in Harmony with Saturn

The native is tolerant and reliable in matters of love and affection. Other people’s feelings are of great importance to them, and it is not in their nature to play with them. Loyalty is highly valued by them, and they will never settle for less. Reliability plays an important role in their life, and they have a fairly good opinion of themselves and their own self-worth, so issues of confidence and security do not cause them much irritation or distress. They are somewhat restrained in expressing their feelings, because they want to be sure they can trust the person they are with. Their tastes and needs are simple, and although they appreciate beauty and luxury, they do not need either luxury or comfort in order to feel happy.

A person’s character and inner world mean much more to the native than appearance. Casual and superficial relationships are not what they want or strive for. They understand that love takes time to develop, and that true love only becomes better and deeper over the years. Their friendships are usually strong and long-lasting. Emotional stability is one of their distinguishing traits. They have an innate sense of duty and responsibility toward loved ones. It is relatively easy for them to control themselves, although they would not be considered frivolous if they were a little less serious and reserved. They have innate strength and courage for overcoming life’s difficulties.

Inharmonious Aspects of Venus and Saturn

The native’s emotional development may be delayed or simply inadequate. It is difficult for them to be warm and loving toward people, because they have already suffered in past lives and fear that this may happen again. They are stingy with feelings and material resources. They believe that everything must be earned and paid for; for them, there are no free blessings. It is difficult for them to express their feelings, and in order to show their true feelings, they buy people gifts as a demonstration of affection. If those gifts are refused, they take it as a rejection of themselves. And although they crave love and affection, close relationships are difficult for them. They have a shallow opinion of themselves, their merits, and their talents. They do not understand why anyone could love them. They feel unworthy of love. This is something they must work through decisively, or their life will remain unhappy if they do not change their attitude on this matter. They are worthy of love just like anyone else, but they must understand this for themselves. They should not allow past experience to govern their actions and feelings for the rest of their life.

The native is a serious and reserved person who is perceived by others as cold, detached, insensitive, and indifferent. In reality, this may not be so; they are simply very cautious, hiding their true self and not allowing people to get close. They want love and want to be loved, but this is very difficult for them. They must remember that first they need to give love in order to receive it later. True love cannot be bought with money, and they should remember this as well. Enjoying life in a carefree, open, and playful way is not natural for them; they understand work, duties, and responsibility much better than feelings, affection, and love. Very rarely do they do anything for pleasure. For them, pleasure is work or the need to finish something. Other people do not understand this about them. There are times when they postpone or do not give proper attention to their work or projects, and the result may be the accumulation of debts. They must learn to balance seriousness and pleasure in their life.

They may become involved in romantic relationships with people who do not value them or do not treat them properly. They must learn to love and value themselves before they find happiness in love. Confidence is very important to them, although they may not know what it feels like to be secure. Their fear of losing money, possessions, or love makes them very vulnerable. These negative thoughts affect their relationships in an unfavorable way. They must learn trust and face their fears, no matter how painful this may be for them. This is the only way to overcome them.

The native tends to lose faith and optimism when life presents problems they must deal with. It is wonderful that they have a well-developed sense of responsibility, but they must also learn to believe in the higher wisdom that attracts these difficulties to them in order to help develop the growth of the personality and soul. They understand better than most that the purpose of life is not happiness, but experience. However, this does not mean that they must feel unhappy all their life. They may feel lonely, but this is because they do not want or are not able to see that people truly love them. The problem lies in their own opinion of themselves. They must first love themselves, and only then will love enter their life.

They are secretive in expressing their true likes or dislikes because of fear of being criticized. They are prone to jealousy and possessiveness. Therefore, when they are in a relationship, they are capable of doing anything to try to hold on to what they have. Of course, this makes their partner feel as if they are in prison, and therefore the partner will try to escape at the first opportunity — which is exactly what the native fears most. They must understand that they can never hold someone who does not want to be with them. Love is free, and there are no circumstances capable of changing this. They must understand that the difficulties they experience in life are nothing other than spiritual lessons. These lessons give them the opportunity to grow.  ✓
