The soldier and I were talking about a young couple we know, concerned they might break up.

“You think they might? Don’t you think they love each other? Really love each other?”

“Yeah, I do. I think they do love each other but love is not enough.”

I stared.

“P, we loved each other. You couldn’t find two kids more in love than we were and it didn’t do any good. Love was not enough. You’ve got to have some maturity. People aren’t that smart when they’re young, they won’t listen to anyone and they’ve no idea what they are throwing away.”

I am encouraged on the Venus Saturn topic, thank you.

Saturn is exalted in the Venus-ruled sign, Libra so it does not make sense that a person with Saturn in the Libra-ruled, 7th house is going to go begging for love. The problem is in how love (Venus) is defined (Saturn).

Take the story of the 3 little pigs. So what if you can throw up 40 houses made of straw in the time if takes the Venus Saturn person to build one if all your houses blow away?

And age counts. It’s one thing to live in a flimsy house when you’re 25. It blows away and you build another, but what about when you’re 45, 55 or 65?

People get to a point where they want something solid in their life. And if you have not learned (Saturn) to form a relationship (Venus) that has integrity (Saturn) as you get older, I’ll tell you exactly what happens. You get scared (Saturn). Nobody wants to be alone. As Paul Simon sings, ‘Who’s going to love you when your looks are gone?”

So the Venus Saturn person might spend a lot of years out in the rain, working on their house while everyone else is humping along in their straw huts that are ready to blow. But as with everything “Saturn”, time is on their side. Venus Saturn toils and toils and toils and toils and if they keep it up, eventually someone with an eye for quality happens by and support forms. This is classic Capricorn story and with Pluto going into Capricorn in January stories like this one will come to the front.

Class not trash. This is coming back into vogue, mark my words.
