In these texts, A is the person whose Venus is read and B the person whose Saturn receives it.
Saturn represents experience and limits. It can offer stability or feel like a barrier.
Facilitating contact
B brings A security and stability. A offers B charm, eroticism and a touch of adventure. The relationship can find a balance between trust and enjoyment.
Obstructing contact
A perceives coldness or difficulty in getting close to B. B may find A’s displays of affection too effusive. Each needs a form of closeness that the other doesn’t receive with the same ease.
Aspects of Venus
Venus represents the way we give and receive affection, sensuality, charm and physical closeness. Its aspects are read in relation to the attraction, enjoyment or discomfort that another person’s closeness can awaken. As you read these descriptions, think about how you enjoy affection with your partner and how they like to receive it.
The intensity of that experience depends on the synastry as a whole and on the awareness with which both live the bond. Inventory 1 is also essential: family and cultural models influence how comfortable we feel with touch. Two people can feel attraction and have different needs for closeness.
Respecting your own boundaries and your partner’s allows closeness to become a shared discovery. No description of affinity replaces what each person wants or accepts at a given moment.
