Venus Conjunct Saturn
© 2005 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Venus conjunct your natal Saturn. You may have to abstain from personal gratification for a while. You are more serious when it comes to relationships and are not prone to light hearted conversations. Often when it comes to relationships, practical issues and social duties are more important than feeling any closeness. You may be reserved in the expression of your feelings and you are probably feeling a bit lonely. If you have been having any problems in a romantic relationship, this occasionally indicates a breakup, or there may be a cooling off period where you temporarily say goodbye to eachother. Occasionally this indicates a social responsibility that you must take care of that is an onerous and heavy burden. You may socialize with those much older than yourself, often for the sake of advice or guidance. Financially, you are probably quite disciplined right now. You are prone to be conservative in spending and you tend to abstain from any form of self indulgence. Guilt may accompany feelings of pleasure.
