The Astrology Book

Venus Conjunct Saturn: You love discipline, organization, and all of your responsibilities. You

are uninterested in the frills of life and value only what is essential, the bare bones. Your love

of simplicity may appear as austerity and frugality to others.

Venus Opposite Saturn: Enjoying yourself at the expense of actual responsibilities may find

you in a sorry way from time to time. It can be hard for you to enjoy yourself and appreciate

life, so when you do, you tend to do it up right. This is an ongoing condition.

Venus Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Saturn: An innate love of truth, essentialness, even

adversity. A fierce sense of loyalty for loved ones. Protective and security-minded. You have a

love affair with the practical and useful; you love to work and work with love. Form follows

function.

Venus Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Saturn: You may have trouble enjoying your-

self, appreciating the finer things of life. Your no-nonsense, serious approach may tend to limit

and cut off feelings of warmth and compassion. The result could be a struggle between binges

and responsibility.

Venus Conjunct Uranus: You love the unconventional and are drawn to all things new and

different. You avoid the mundane and treasure the unusual. You may have very eccentric tastes

and ways of showing affection. You value a chance to break away from the pack and be different.

Venus Opposite Uranus: You tend not to like things (or people) who are unconventional or

different. You appreciate conformity and traditional values, although you may have periods when

you break through all this and do the unexpected and let it all hang out.

Venus Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Uranus: A love of the new and unusual. Able to grasp

and appreciate new trends and concepts at the very forefront of technology. A very free spirit

when it comes to friends, lovers, and tastes. In love with what’s original. Breaking through.

Venus Square, Semi-square, or Sesqui-square Uranus: You may not be able to let yourself

appreciate much that is not conventional for fear of going on some kind of a binge. A strong

sense of the novel and unusual rears its head every so often and upsets your whole value system.

Venus Conjunct Neptune: You love everything mystical and other-worldly. An idealist of the

first order, you value dreams, visions, and anything that points beyond mundane reality. Art,

poetry, and imagination you appreciate. Needless to say, you are not noted for practicality.

Venus Opposite Neptune: Your value system may be less than ideal, even according to your

own standards. A tendency to compromise and accept things that don’t do much for your self-

image is present. There is a basic struggle between dreams or ideals and day-to-day reality.

Venus Trine, Sextile, or Semi-sextile Neptune: A mother to every animal, child, or needy

person. Generous to the extreme with others. Always sensing the unity in life, as in the phrase

“the dewdrop slips into the shining sea.” You love movies, myths, and long thoughts. No doubt

a dreamer ... a lover.
