Okay, here’s my blog post about my experience with Saturn conjunct Venus in synastry:
Alright, buckle up, folks, because I’m diving deep into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes downright frustrating world of relationship astrology. Specifically, I’m gonna share my firsthand experience with a doozy of a synastry aspect: Saturn conjunct Venus.
It all started, like most of my relationship deep-dives, with a potent mixture of excitement and “what have I gotten myself into?” feelings. I met this guy… and it was, shall we say, intense from the get-go. The chemistry was insane, but there was also this weird… weight… to the whole thing. I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Digging into the Charts
Being the astrology nerd I am, I immediately ran our charts. Lo and behold, there it was, staring me in the face: his Saturn was smack-dab on top of my Venus. For those not fluent in astro-speak, this basically means the planet of restriction, responsibility, and (sometimes) fear was cozying up to my planet of love, beauty, and values. Yay, me, right?
So, what did I do? I hit the books (and the internet, let’s be honest). I wanted to know everything. What I found was a lot of talk about “karmic relationships,” “lessons to be learned,” and “potential for long-term commitment… or utter heartbreak.” Great. Super helpful.
The Rollercoaster Begins
The first few months were a whirlwind. It felt like we were destined to be together. Like, soulmate level stuff. We were inseparable. We talked for hours. We made big plans. We did that thing couples do where they finish each other’s sentences (I know, I know, it’s gross, but we were in it).
But then… the Saturnian energy started to creep in. It wasn’t all fireworks and roses. There were… well, let’s call them “challenges.”
- Commitment Issues (on his end): It felt like I was always the one pushing for more, for deeper connection, for that “next step.” He, on the other hand, seemed… hesitant. Scared, even.
- Feeling Restricted (on my end): I started to feel stifled, like my natural Venusian desire for fun, pleasure, and self-expression was being… dampened.
- Serious Tone: Everything felt so serious. Like, even a casual dinner date could turn into a deep discussion about our five-year plans.
It’s like i started doing all of the heavy lifting. Always the one calling, texting, and checking in. This got exhausting, for real.
Working Through It (or Trying To)
I’m not gonna lie, there were times I wanted to throw in the towel. I mean, who wants to feel like they’re constantly pushing a boulder uphill? But something kept me going. Maybe it was the initial intensity, maybe it was the stubborn belief that this could work, or maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment.
So, I tried different things. I tried talking to him about it, but he’d shut down. I also backed off, gave him some room, tried that too. Didn’t do much.
Where We Are Now
Well after all the back and forth, we ended things, simple as that. Honestly it was just a breath of fresh air.
Would I do it all again? I don’t know, maybe, maybe not.
The biggest thing I’ve learned is it is a journey. It’s not always easy. There are lessons learned, tears cried, and moments of both profound connection and frustrating distance. I’ve learned to trust myself more. To speak my needs. To set better boundaries.
If you find yourself in a Saturn-Venus synastry situation, just remember: you’re not alone. It’s a wild ride, but it can be a meaningful one, even if it doesn’t always end in “happily ever after.” Good luck out there, and may the stars be ever in your favor (or at least, may you have a strong sense of humor).
