Venus Opposite Saturn —October 2023 

Venus opposes Saturn every year or so, something from two to three years in the same sign of the Zodiac. Since this first opposition is in very early degrees of Virgo-Pisces axis, expect this opposition to happen exactly in 3 years window which can be relatively rare. Then, after 2025, only in 2032 will Venus oppose Saturn three (3) years in a row in the Cancer-Capricorn axis. 

Thus, expect Virgo-Pisces areas of your chart to be touched by such opposition for 3 years. Let’s say this is the time of the year where people, wanting or not are rather seeking if they can trust people and society, and how far they can go together in a harmonious melody. 

When Venus meets Saturn in opposingly (180°) degrees of the Zodiac, relationships are tested and people seek equilibrium – if the other is not helping to weight the scale the same weight, give the same number of sacrifices to be justified and the opposition demands a conciliation of a kind. An evenness of desires, cravings and mutual reception are longed, sexually or simple professionally, friendly or even casually: 

This is not like a Saturn overnight kind of separations and divorces like Uranus operates, and if these happen is because of something accumulated far too long. We take relationships to a new other level where an integration of hard work to make them happen shall be in symmetry. If that is not happening, frustrations, bitterness, disappointment and things of Saturn nature could be very present, that requires attention and inward work. 

But Venus-Saturn is not all about seriousness in relationships – but also that of what we professionally expect to fulfil us with material rewards. The tension between career and self-worth is real, and annoyances may arise when not having what one expected. The power of attraction can be quite factual, and if one is focused on the negative side, the changes are that the native will confront combatant forces. 

Thus, delays & limitations in career and love life can lead to indignations and displeasure, that can make one wonder about one’s own value and credibility. Be prepared to learn lessons about relationships and sacrifices. Are ready to go deeper into that inward maturity? Commitment and loyalty from others and from you are questioned, just so we know exactly where we stand regarding people/society.
