Help with Love


My previous post was all about how I'm not blogging. I was emailing with a fellow astrologer about this and I can't remember what the result was.

One thing I have noticed though is that my energy is like this. I can be all hot to finish something. And then... it cools off. But it always comes back.

It makes me thing of Venus square Mars in a natal chart. That aspect is supposed to signify someone who is "hot and cold" in relationships. But sometimes I wonder if my Venus square Saturn does something similar. Venus square Saturn is, among other things, about timing. Maybe he loves you and you don't love him or she feels warm to you and you don't feel warm in response... at the time, at the moment. And then the warm feeling comes around again. Or the cool feeling comes around again.

Venus square Saturn challenges you to... get it right. To get "on the same page," as they say.

I have a good friend who has Venus opposition Saturn and I always wonder about the differences between his opposition and my square. Squares, in my experience, are about so much inner tension. They may lead you to act or to project, but the problem is yours (at least to start off with). Oppositions, on the other hand, are something external, something coming at you, for better or worse, to challenge you. For better or worse. Asking you to find that balance and not side with one side or the other.

So, in my friend's life, who is the Venus and who is the Saturn? Where does he find balance? Does he find balance? How does he not take sides? Or does he? How does he find committment when his Venus (in Gemini, by the way) wants to fly...

It makes me think that this opposition will cause people to come into his life to help him with this issue, whether he wants it or not. And he seems to want it. He always has a woman or two or three in his life, helping him with love. With love.
