Saturn transiting square natal Venus

When transiting Saturn makes hard aspects to natal Venus, relational contexts are affected by its critical evaluation, like being put through an exam: some relationships that exist through habit rather than anything else go into crisis, we feel suffocated by out-dated roles or realise that people are not who we thought they were. Whether it concerns family, friendship, love or work, the most difficult thing is to recognise the sense of emptiness that we feel, including "what" or "who" we don't like anymore (and especially why), without letting this disenchantment depress us. In particular, when Saturn squares our Venus it can be difficult to give useful meaning to the frustration that we feel. Rules, obligations, bosses or parents stifle our creative spark, our creaking bodies make us feel our age, little or nothing seems important or exciting; this results in a loss of motivation and perspective. The purpose of Saturn is to reorganise our lives through responsible choices, conscious decisions and, if necessary, sacrifices aimed at achieving greater autonomy. The opposition aspect can have a greater effect on direct relationships, especially couples. There can be a loss of interest or passion, or we struggle to be together when and how we want to be. In some cases we fell trapped in a relationship that demands more than it gives, or our partner starts whining or becomes difficult, asking us to respond to questions that we are not ready to face. What we are expected to do is to decide what values are important to us, including what we really want from our life, concentrating on what we find reassuring about our future and separating it from what belongs to the past.
