Venus opposition Saturn

Venus opposition Saturn is a difficult aspect that indicates emotional frustrations, as the harshness of Saturn weighs heavily on the affairs of Venus such as happiness, harmonious relationships, artistic endeavours, and financial security. You may look at your accomplishments with continuous dissatisfaction, underestimating your self-worth. You may not have received the encouragement that you needed when you were younger, and you tend to shy away from competition because of a resulting lack of confidence. Your circumstance didn’t give you the chance to receive emotional nurturing as a child, you may still be living the life of emotional self-denial, unconsciously believing this is what you deserve. You may have to make concessions to others to maintain normal relations. Often you wonder if it's really worth the effort. Avoid a tendency to undervalue yourself and your ability to make a worthwhile contribution. The development of a positive attitude can be your most valuable asset. This is not an easy task and what needs to be done is to find out how to meet your own emotional needs not from other people. Try to also listen and be more receptive to others emotional needs and how they differ from your own, how can you realign your needs with others. You tend to suppress your emotional side and the more you can work on being expressive and vulnerable the more success you will have. Your mature and responsible attitude is a positive aspect of this sign, but it can cause depression and self-loathing. Because you think of being a child as immature or inferior you do not allow yourself to feel the joy of childlike innocence. Learning to accept all emotions within yourself can help you loosen the tight hold you have over your emotions.

Venus opposition Saturn

A natal Venus/Saturn opposition gives you important lessons to learn about measuring what’s worthwhile and valuable to yourself, versus the external standards of your family, culture, or society. You have high aspirations with regard to ideal forms and idealized expectations, and so you need to be careful not to become overly self-critical when you feel you’re not measuring up. You may have had some difficult relational experiences growing up, with a parent or other authority figure, that had a powerful influence on the way you judge your self-worth. As you cultivate inner security and self-acceptance for your creative process and output, as well as your relationship patterns, you’ll find it easier to strike a healthier balance between enjoying pleasures and maintaining necessary responsibility. In fact, due to your capacity for objectivity and clarifying discernment in your decision making, you have the potential to become a leader or authority within your vocational field of interest.

Giving and receiving love are not flowing and natural for people born with Venus opposition Saturn. Blockages are experienced, and love relationships may be a source of frustration as a result, until the natives learn to love themselves, and to feel worthy of love from others. Duty is often associated with love, and some might find themselves stuck in a loveless marriage, for example. Especially in youth, these natives might feel awkward in some social situations, unsure of how to express affections, and fearful of rejection. Problematic Saturn positions often get better with age, experience, and practice, however! In its more negative expression, some people with this position learn to scheme in order to get what they want from a partner, or they might treat partnerships as if they were businesses. Venus opposition Saturn can make natives especially sensitive to “cues” that suggest they are not loved or rejected in some way. People with Venus opposition Saturn can often “expect” rejection in issues of love and care, whether they are conscious of this tendency or not. This can often lead to negative situations in love, and bad timing or the feeling of having “bad luck” in relationships. You can go one step further if needed and convince yourself that you deserve love and money because of your hard work on personal development. You may be surprised how quickly you attract love and money once you genuinely believe you deserve it. The root causes of your depression may never go away; they are recorded in your soul memory. Taking responsibility, working hard and being patient will always be needed to overcome delays, hardships, and sadness. But you will cope as well as the best of them. With age comes a great deal of contentment and satisfaction, together with respect and recognition of your achievements against the odds.

Venus opposition Saturn makes it extremely difficult to form loving relationships. You would have realized early on that you did not fit in because of below-average social skills. Not understanding why you developed feelings of unworthiness or inadequacy. Thinking there must be something wrong with you, guilt took hold, which may have been reinforced by a lack of affection, criticism or ostracism by your parents and other adults, especially authority figures like teachers. There are various possible underlying reasons for this early negative conditioning. One or both parents may have lacked parenting skills associated with positive reinforcement or been mean and abusive at worst. You must teach yourself about love and money because it is about value. If anything, your early conditioning led you to believe you were not that good and deserved to be sad and lonely. There may be some karmic reasons for this, but that’s in the past, and the corrective action is the same. So learning that you are not a bad person may have to come before learning how to love yourself. Saturn is a late bloomer, so you probably endured delay, restriction, and hardship into adulthood. Recognizing and admitting that your problems stem from your inferiority complex is half the battle won. You can make up a lot of ground by not having to blame or forgive all the people who were mean or rejected you. It is so vital to remove guilt and self-pity. Forgive yourself for whatever you had imagined you must have done that was so bad. Imagine wearing a sign that says, “I’m worthless; go away.” Now throw it as far away as you can. Delete the old message and get ready for the next step. Learn to love and value yourself. Tell yourself verbally, and use mantras at night or in the mirror. You must reprogram your brain. By now, you will be expressing more confident energy and notice your relationships begin to improve. You will see a closer connection, more caring and sharing. You discover real love and enjoyment.

Natives of Venus opposition Saturn might either downplay their physical appearance or pay excessive attention to it. Either way, self-consciousness with adornments is common. Often, people with this position sell themselves short. They are not risk takers when it comes to relationships, often choosing a path that they feel is safe, even if it is an uncomfortable one. Fear of giving can also express itself through tight-fisted with money. The key to handling these aspects is to learn to loosen up and relax. Know that you may be oversensitive to rejection, and try to gain some perspective when you feel your love is not being returned to your satisfaction. Are you truly letting love in, or is there a part of you that is scared? Could your expectations and “heaviness” in the area of relationships (you might take love more seriously than most) be getting in the way of accepting love and affection? Venus-Saturn people may have deep-seated feelings of being unworthy of love, even if they are able to rationalize and decide otherwise.

You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a light-hearted, open and playful way with others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming close to people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you. You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love. You may find that your best sexual relationships are with individuals who are significantly older or younger than yourself. The role of teacher is so significant in your life that it may pervade your love life. You will need to overcome a sense of reserve or inhibition to deepen your spiritual connection.
