Because all aspects to Saturn have a sense of heaviness, of duty, of a slow-moving pace, Saturn changes the lighter and happier feel of Venus. In some ways, Saturn can ground Venus, but it can also create karmic debts surrounding love. Venus trine Saturn

Venus-Saturn Natal Aspects:
In the natal chart, Venus-Saturn aspects indicate issues with love and restraint as well as value. These aspects have a heavy feeling, since Saturn tends to slow the romance of Venus, but can also teach loyalty, longevity, and how to value oneself.

Venus Conjunct Saturn
As a child with Venus conjunct Saturn, you were influenced by others’ opinions of you. Usually, this influence was negative. It caused you to feel lonely or different, even if these feelings aren’t obvious to others.

These childhood traumas caused a deep lack of self-love within you. Perhaps authority figures were too hard on you, or maybe you felt that others were mean, cold, or absent. You never felt that you held much value.

Venus conjunct Saturn can manifest as parents who comment on your appearance or status. Even if your parents didn’t realize what they were doing, these small comments deeply affected you. A parent or authority figure taught you that material values are what matter and that if you don’t have these specific characteristics, you aren’t good enough.

Now, you might be a bit awkward, standoffish, or even cold. It’s not easy for you to be intimate with others because you cannot trust that they won’t hurt you.

However, Venus conjunct Saturn also means that you feel the need to be popular and well-liked. You may want to be “in” with people you think are important or could even be a social climber. Of course, you might not be totally successful in this area because you struggle to express yourself and appear reserved, but that doesn’t mean you don’t try.

You may be materially focused and judgmental towards others. Specifically, you might judge others’ appearances, surface-level intelligence, or things that others own. This is because you judge these very things in yourself and always feel like an outcast. 

Venus conjunct Saturn means you were taught that nothing less than perfection will do, and you may spend a lifetime trying to achieve your idea of perfection. This can manifest as splurging unnecessarily on clothing or making, being obsessive about material items such as a car or perfectly decorated home, or any other way that you can use outward goods to make up for what you feel you lack. You don’t feel that you’re good enough just by yourself, so you look to status and money to try and feel worthy.

You probably experience power struggles in your relationships. This is because you gravitate towards those who have power over you and you do your best to get “up” to their level. However, you also look down on those you feel are “less” than you. The world appears a competition in your eyes, one that you can never win. Because Venus conjunct Saturn makes you feel inherently less successful than others, you may try to outdo them using material gains or beauty products.

Venus conjunct Saturn also means that you feel you have to work harder than everyone else for money. You may see others have money or goods fall into their laps and wonder why that never happens for you. There can be an element of envy with Venus conjunct Saturn.

However, if you DO choose to work hard for your money, you can achieve amazing success. Your financial situation will clearly reflect the amount of work that you put in overtime because Saturn is so consistent and dedicated. You will never get anywhere with quick gains but need to actually work, day in and day out, to see revenue.

Venus conjunct Saturn natal means that you must learn to value yourself. As a child, you see only your imperfections because of what you’re taught, but you need to see the value that you do have. This is something you must teach yourself. You won’t be able to love others until you truly love yourself.

This aspect makes it challenging for people to get to know you; you come across as closed down or emotionless. This is because you’re focused on the image that you want to project instead of truly being yourself, which can even make you seem a bit superficial. When you learn to value yourself, you will be able to reveal your truest self to others and really be known.

No matter how others treat you, and no matter how you dress or what you own, the lesson is to love yourself. You can look for love in those areas, from society, but you won’t find it there because it comes from within, from close relationships with unconditional acceptance. With Venus conjunct Saturn natal, you must learn to stop caring about your reputation and about material concerns as a means of status. You see these things as security, but it isn’t real: it’s just the construct in your mind. Real security comes from knowing your value regardless of the situation.

Remember that patience and hard work will be rewarded with Venus conjunct Saturn. And the more you learn to value and love yourself, the more love you will receive from others. It might not be the sort of love you pictured as a child (you won’t be with the in group, won’t be revered for your status or your possessions) but it will be much more real. This is the higher octave of Saturn: putting the work in to create depth and value rather than staying in your own limitations.

Financially, you may experience similar conditions to those in your love life. Learn to keep enough money to live on and how to value it. You can achieve stability and security by saving and investing. Hard work pays off, but it won’t happen overnight. Don’t expect to gain wealth overnight. But don’t be afraid to think big, either, as long as you put in the day-to-day work. Anyone with Venus conjunct Saturn natal can be incredibly successful! It’s all about overcoming your fears and your own sense of inadequacy to truly create the life you want.

Venus Trine Saturn
With Venus trine Saturn natal, you tend to be cautious in romance. You won’t promise more than you can give because once you’re in, you’re usually committed. And you certainly don’t take relationships with others lightly. Whether this means that you’re often committed to very serious relationships or that you rarely enter relationships without thinking through the commitment clearly, you’re definitely a bit reserved.

You may not be the most romantic person with Venus trine Saturn natal. You’re not prone to large gestures and don’t mind having a solid, stable relationship. In fact, this might be what you’re looking for since you’re no risk-taker in love.

With Venus trine Saturn, love flows into your life at a steady pace. You probably don’t have rapid-fire relationships but also do not struggle to find a love interest. When the time is right, someone appears. Consistency in romance comes naturally to you.

You are focused with Venus trine Saturn in most of your endeavors. You know that hard work is necessary to achieve success and you’re certainly not afraid to put in the effort. This doesn’t mean that you’re always successful. This is because much depends on the rest of your chart. However, it does mean that you aren’t afraid to try, to show up to work every day.

Venus trine Saturn natal also means that you are practical with money. You won’t spend more than you have and do not have an issue living conservatively.

Generally, this is a stabilizing aspect that contributes to success in the long term. You may not be the most exciting partner or business person, but you’re bound to do well over the years.
