Venus in Sagittarius here. I have a kind of conflicted feeling about love, relationships, and the like — on the one hand, when I love someone, it’s intense and I’d give the world to make them happy, but on the other hand, I’m extremely skittish about “settling down” — not sure if that’s Sag’s “don’t fence me in” nature, or if it’s just bad past experiences coloring my current mentality. While I would like to believe that there is someone for everyone, there’s a part of my heart that thinks some people are just better (for themselves and others) not being in a long-term relationship. I just haven’t quite figured out if I’m one of them or not yet.

Togi… Venus in Pisces is what can be described as the ultimate love (a.k.a. “Jesus Love”)

Think Buddhist teachings. With Venus in Pisces, you love everything and everyone, without reserve or demarcation. It’s an acceptance and appreciation of the All…

“Why would Venus be exalted in Pisces?”

Venus is exalted in Pisces because the love is boundless and knows no limits. No one is excluded, the love goes out and out and out to infinity.

Very helpful. Thanks.

The only question remains (for me) is how to determine what their ‘love story’ is before it’s too late.
In retrospect, I see that it could have been determined in advance by spending time among his family. His expectations of love and relationships were what his parents had – all he’s ever known.

Now there is someone new. He has only one parent left and I feel lost as to how to gauge his love story.

(Incidentally, I am trying very hard to ensure that my love story isn’t what my parents have)

My Venus is conjunct both Pluto and Uranus. Before I knew I had this, I was wondering why I wasn’t able to hold on to anyone for any length of time. What a shock it was to find out that this was coming from me…”I want something intense, but I want my space, and LOTS of it, at the same time.” How confusing is that? Plus my Venus is in Virgo, which also wants a lot of space and alone time.

My DH’s Venus is in Sag, so he wants as much space as I do. Plus, his Uranus is exactly conjunct my Venus. That’s set the tone for our relationship fom the beginning.

When I say “venus neptune” I mean the energies combined in any form:

Venus in Pisces
Venus in the 12th
Neptune in the 7th
Virgo rising (Neptune rules 7th)
and Venus and Neptune in aspect (any aspect)

I do not include Neptune in the 2nd in my mind thought perhaps I should.

I just have venus in scorpio (ouch) with no aspect to neptune. I do feel like I am overly optimistic in relationship though. But I do have jupiter in pisces in the seventh trining netptune but sq venus. Weird, huh? Thanks for explaining the venus neptune thing, I’ll know what you mean from now on.=}

I’ve got Venus in scorpio conjunct Pluto. I’m still understanding this aspect.
I also have Venus sextile Neptune, trine Moon, trine Mars and trine Jupiter.
I believed that love was a fairytale and all that jazz..
The only love I know to be true is compassionate love for mankind.:D

Elsa, Hmmmm… You might be interested in my story. I’ve got Venus at 27 degrees conjunct Saturn, 18 degrees, in the eighth house. Both are square Pluto in sixth house Leo at 26 degrees.

Venus/Saturn are in a grand trine with Ascendant Pisces, 25 degrees, conjunct Mars 18 degrees, moon 12 degrees Pisces. Along with that to complete the grand trine is Uranus/Jupiter exact conjunction, 26 degrees Cancer, fifth house.

Six planets are involved in the trine, plus the ascendant. Two squares play into the trine.

Neptune is around 25 degrees in Libra, seventh house, squaring Uranus/Jupiter. They also oppose Chiron in Capricorn.

I suspect that my chart is not too far off of your soldier’s which is why I go into it in such depth. I know you are searching.

I’ve had five major relationships. I’m still close friends with the first two, and we love each other very much though we live on opposites sides of the world now. I don’t intend to get reinvolved in a love relationship with either one, loving them now as if they were my brothers. After the recent death of my husband they each offered me to come live with or near them so they could watch after me.

The second two both died. One was a sudden tragedy when he was hit by a car after we’d been together only one year; my other beloved husband died from illness. I cared for him for three years; I was there for him every minute, always believing he would recover. We were very much in love. He passed when Venus was conjunct Saturn.

The fifth relationship is current and we met through dreams. Also there are many signs that my belated husband orchestrated it after he died. I didn’t know my current mate before my husband passed away but we met on his birthday and got together on our anniversary, the meeting being delayed, and we moved to a ranch that was founded on his birthday. He also described him when he was very sick and said that was who I needed to be with if he couldn’t be with him.

I fully expect that this relationship will last for the rest of my life. It’s not always smooth, but we love each other deeply and are good for each other’s spiritual growth, something that is mutually recognized.

I found your site because I dreamed last night of my second Saturn return in 2013 which the dream predicted would be not an easy time, but which could be resolved through painting, starting now while the Chinese year is still the year of the rat. (Looks like I’ll be painting daily for the next month to establish that firmly. That would activate the Uranus/Jupiter trine in the fifth house.)

I was searching for Venus conjunct Saturn in Scorpio to see what others had to say about it and that’s how I found your site.

About myself: I learned a great deal from all my relationships and I believe in true love. Love, once found is never lost, not even through death. While I was the one who left in the first two relationships, I’ve learned a lot since then.

One thing I learned is that no matter how tough it might be early on in a relationship, those incompatibilities can be overcome, people can grow and change. The relationship can get better and better, kinder and truer, more and more tender and loving. So stick with it! I didn’t know that when I was younger. My last relationship was fourteen years long and it would have been for a lifetime if he hadn’t passed away.

My sun is in Capricorn.

Good luck and I hope this helps. Many are the ways that a chart plays out depending on how the individual reacts to events and how much consciousness is employed.

Catherine, welcome.
Your story made me think of this:

Her husband appears to be looking after her as well.

wow

ah, every once and a while you’ll * hit the mark * on something i haven’t thought about.. lovely video.. “What does love mean to the other person?” I think i’ll try to think of this question the next time i look at someones natal chart or any relationship chart.. And my venus is in libra..funny i found this post trying to find opinions on the negative aspects of venus in libra.. i also have a strong neptune ( Neptune in the 12th ) and when you attributed your philosophy on relationships to your Venus-Neptune aspect, when you spoke of the power that love holds regardless of circumstances.. thats very much how i feel.

I have Venus,Pluto in Scorpio trine
Asc,Jupiter,Mars in Pisces
SN Libra in 8th

All of my relationships ended gracefully. There was a deep connection before and after. I want Love to be a big theme of my life. ANd yes I believe that two people in a relationship can merge so both can grow _

Love for me is merging, connection, forgiveness, selfless, innocence, sharing, compromising, the feeling of touch, children, ocean, deep eye contact, hug, soft kiss when he close his eye…!
I wish I could show my love with every little thing that I do

I believe that we are all able to radiate love —- If we can be sensitive then we can feel it
