When Venus is in a square or opposition aspect to Saturn, challenges arise in the individual’s love life, possibly stemming from harmful past acts in life. Affection turns into struggles, and relationships become burdened with excessive duty, sacrifice, and hardship. Coldness or a lack of parental warmth may lead the person to believe they are unlovable, fostering a sense of scarcity in approaching love.
Pessimism permeates their views on beauty, sex appeal, and the ability to attract a suitable significant other. It becomes crucial for the person to prioritize self love and self worth. Tendencies towards selfishness, greed, and an intense focus on personal security may inadvertently drive their partner away due to inner doubts and insecurities. Repression, shyness, or inhibition in the midst of intimate experiences may result in a lack of stimulation, excitement, and pleasure for their lover.

Despite being a dedicated worker and a perfectionist in their craft, the individual harbors a fear of criticism and rejection, potentially leading to feelings of depression and loneliness. A belief in discipline and austerity dominates their approach to love matters, necessitating the development of more flexible and optimistic emotional responses.
The individual may lean towards choosing an older, authoritarian-type partner, potentially leading to difficulties with the mother, especially if the fourth house is afflicted. While not immediately apparent, an underlying fear of true intimacy may drive attraction towards married or unavailable individuals. Financial challenges may surface, and the success and happiness of the spouse may face obstacles.
Concerns of fairness persist in line with all Venus aspects, highlighting the importance of justice in their relationships. The person experiences deep pain, easily hurt feelings, and may hold grudges, often experiencing sadness. Love relationships are seen as karmic, prompting consideration of therapy or counseling for self development to break the cycle of victimization in their interactions.
