This article as published on November 11, 2012. Rihanna and Chris have since broken up.

We recently found out that Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together. Again. Their reunion has sparked a lot of debate over whether she should have taken him back, considering the fact that he physically abused her. Let’s take a look at what the stars have to say about this controversial couple!

​Rihanna’s Birth Chart​

​Rihanna has her Sun in Pisces. People with their Suns in this sign are known for their extreme compassion, sympathy, and forgiveness. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of delusion, self-sacrifice, and martyrdom. Pisceans tend to look for the best in people, and gloss over their faults. Pisceans tend to live in a dream world, and are often out of touch with reality.

Pisces people are probably the most likely to stay in abusive relationships; they make excuses for their partners due to their habit of focusing on the positives. In fact, they often see people for who they are not, which puts them at risk of ending up in relationships involving abuse, infidelity, and exploitation.

​If this wasn’t enough, Rihanna’s chart features a Venus square Neptune aspect. This emphasizes Rihanna’s Piscean traits, especially in terms of her relationships. When you have Venus square Neptune in yourchart, the risk of idealization, delusion, and illusions  in regards to your relationships increases. This aspect indicates Rihanna tends to be blinded by love. She tends to see the best in Chris and ignores his faults. She makes excuses for Chris’ shortcomings, and is easily seduced by his advances. It is difficult to reason with individuals with this placement, especially when it comes to their love lives.

Pamela Anderson has this aspect in her chart. Her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, was very physically abusive towards her during their three-year marriage. Pamela eventually had him arrested, but was waiting outside the jail for him the day he got out, and the two reconciled. Whitney Houston’s Sun and Venus are squared by her Natal Neptune, and we all remember her abusive relationship with Bobby Brown. We all wondered why in the world she withstood Bobby’s abuse, but it becomes clear when you consider her natal chart.

Where Mars lands in our chart tells us the area in which we will experience aggression and conflict. In Rihanna’s chart, her Mars lands in her 7th house, the house of one-on-one partnerships, which indicates she experiences violence, abuse, and aggression in her relationships. Not surprisingly, Whitney Houston has Mars in her 7th house, as well.

Rihanna’s Mars is conjunct her natal Uranus, which indicates her relationships contain sudden conflicts, as well as many sudden separations. Indeed, her and Chris have been on and off for years. Rihanna’s Mars is also conjunct her natal Saturn in her 7th house, which indicates she takes her relationships very seriously, and has tremendous staying power. She has tremendous determination in making her relationships work.

Chris Brown

​Chris Brown has a heck of a lot of Taurus in his Chart; his Sun, Moon, and Venus are in this sign. Taurus is a fixed sign, meaning they are stubborn and resistant to change. If you’ve ever dated a Taurus guy, you know these guys tend to hold on. They are very possessive; they like knowing someone is ‘theirs’, as it makes them feel secure. They are usually quite calm and cool, but can have explosive tempers.

Chris’ natal Pluto in Scorpio is opposite his stellium in Taurus. This explains the root of his temper perfectly. Oppositions in the natal chart signify the person has a difficult time integrating the energies of the opposing planets. As a result, the person tends to swing back and forth between them. In Chris’ case, his Pluto opposite Sun/Moon/Venus conjunction indicates his personality swings between the extremes of light and dark. This aspect indicates he he has power and control issues.

With the opposition to his Sun and Moon, Iwouldn’t be surprised if Chris witnessed abuse via his parents. In fact, his natal Pluto is in his 4th house, with Scorpio on the cusp. This is a strong indicator of an abusive household. With his Venus opposite Pluto aspect, Chris has definite control issues when it comes to love. He is prone to jealousy, manipulation, domination, and yes, abuse. Since the opposition is in Taurus and Scorpio, he is highly possessive and controlling over his mates.

Incidentally, Bobby Brown also has Pluto opposite Venus in his natal chart.

Synastry

Chris’ Mars in Cancer opposes Rihanna’s Mars/Saturn/Uranus conjunction. This is a combative aspect, indeed! The Mars opposite Mars aspect is enough of an indicator of abuse on its own. This aspect indicates ego clashes, aggression, and a lack of understanding over each other’s temperaments. Rihanna’s Saturn in opposition to Chris’ Mars indicates the couple has explosive arguments stemming from criticism and insecurity. Rihanna’s Uranus in opposition to Chris’ Mars indicates a fair amount of unpredictability and uncontrollable impulsive actions towards each other.

Chris’ Neptune is square Rihanna’s Venus and Moon. In Chris, Rihanna feels she has found her soulmate. She makes excuses for his faults and sees the best in him. She is very forgiving towards him, and always
gives him the benefit of the doubt, even when it is not in her best interest.

​Chris’ Saturn is also square Rihanna’s Venus and Moon. Saturn aspects are very binding, yet at the same time, difficult! When I think of Saturn aspects in synastry, I think of parent-child relationships. Indeed, Saturn represents the ‘father’ in astrology, so the Saturn person in the relationship often takes on a ‘parental’ role. Saturn increases one’s sense of responsibility to another, but on the negative side, it indicates emotional distancing, coldness, and a lack of affection, as well as restrictive and controlling behavior.

​With this aspect, Rihanna beauty and overall personality bring out Chris’ greatest insecurities. As a result, Chris may become demanding of Rihanna, and may attempt to restrict her emotionally and socially. Chris may become jealous when Rihanna tries to have a social life outside of their relationship. Chris may think Rihanna is childish and irresponsible, while Rihanna may consider Chris overbearing and dictatorial. With this aspect in synastry, there is a great risk of the relationship turning into a loveless union devoid of affection.

Rihanna’s Mercury squares Chris’ Sun/Moon/Venus in Taurus, which indicates difficulty in communication. The couple has a difficult time expressing ideas, feelings and emotions.

​On the plus side, Rihanna’s Sun is conjunct Chris’ North Node in his 7th house! No wonder he is so drawn to her! Rihanna is Chris’ idea of the perfect woman. With Chris’ North Node in his 7th house, his life’s path is strongly centered around his one-on-one relationships, such as romantic unions and marriage. With Rihanna’s Sun on this point, Chris feels Rihanna is pulling him forward, towards his destiny. Rihanna exemplifies the qualities Chris needs to evolve. This is a very powerful synastry aspect, which is felt especially strongly on Chris’ part.

Prediction:

​It seems as though Chris met Rihanna while Neptune was transiting his North Node and her Sun. The nature of the relationship is usually described by the transits each person is experiencing at the time; the transits of each person highlight the important synastric connections between the couple. With Neptune on Chris’ North Node, it makes sense that he met Rihanna, a Pisces. With Neptune on Rihanna’s Sun, she probably fell for Chris instantly. During this transit, our sense of fantasy and dreaminess is stimulated. Rihanna is Neptunian as it is, but this transit intensified these qualities even more.

​The fact that Rihanna entered an abusive relationship doesn’t surprise me, given the fact that transiting Pluto has been conjunct her Neptune and square her natal Venus for the past while. Pluto transiting your Neptune is intensifies her delusional tendencies, which are already strong due to her strong Neptune placements and Pisces Sun.

​Looking at their transits, I feel the couple may stay together for at least another year. If they break up, I believe it will be around October 2013, when Saturn conjuncts Chris’ natal Pluto and opposes his Sun/Moon/Venus conjunction in Taurus. At the same time, Saturn will square Rihanna’s Mercury, the ruler of her 1st house. At the same time, Saturn can indicate responsibility and commitment, so perhaps they will solidify their relationship in some way.

Given the amount of squares and oppositions they will face around that time, a break-up seems more likely. Also, transiting Uranus will make an exact square to Rihanna’s Neptune at that time, which will serve to shake her out of any delusions she may be carrying, especially in terms of relationships.  By that time, Neptune will be finished transiting her Sun, which will help her gain clarity over her feelings and over the relationship.

Saturn Aspects in Synastry: Love, Commitment and Relationship Struggles

astrologyanonymous27Leave a comment

Saturn aspects in synastry are often associated with commitment, responsibility, limitations, fear, and emotional restraint. Saturn can create a strong sense of obligation between two people, which is one reason Saturn contacts are frequently found in long-term relationships. However, these aspects can also create feelings of heaviness, criticism, distance, or insecurity.

The way Saturn manifests depends heavily on the planets involved, the aspect itself, and the overall synastry chart. Harmonious aspects tend to make Saturn’s energy easier to work with, while hard aspects can create more frustration and pressure.

Sun-Saturn Aspects in Synastry

Sun-Saturn aspects are commonly associated with long-lasting relationships because Saturn creates a sense of duty and commitment. However, the relationship can also feel serious or restrictive.

In my own experience, two of my long-term relationships featured strong Sun-Saturn contacts. In one relationship, my Saturn was conjunct my partner’s Sun in Scorpio. In another, my Saturn was square my partner’s Sun in Aquarius.

As the Saturn person, I felt both committed to and insecure about these relationships. My partners’ individuality brought many of my own insecurities to the surface. Rather than simply allowing them to be themselves, I sometimes responded by criticizing or judging them.

The Saturn person can sometimes fall into a parental role with the Sun person. Saturn may feel responsible for correcting, guiding, or controlling the Sun person, while the Sun person may feel judged or restricted.

This dynamic can become particularly difficult when Saturn feels threatened by the Sun person’s independence. The Saturn person may worry that allowing the Sun person too much freedom will cause the relationship to change or end.

The Sun person, meanwhile, may feel that they cannot fully express themselves without facing criticism from Saturn.

In my own relationships, I sometimes felt as though I was scolding a child rather than relating to an equal partner. Looking back, I can see that much of this behavior came from insecurity and fear rather than a genuine desire to control the other person.

The sextile and trine are considerably easier. Saturn still adds responsibility and commitment, but the relationship is less likely to feel restrictive. The Saturn person can provide stability and guidance without making the Sun person feel diminished.

Moon-Saturn Aspects in Synastry

Moon-Saturn contacts can create a deep emotional bond, but they can also make emotional expression difficult.

I experienced a Moon-Saturn opposition double-whammy in one of my relationships. His Moon opposed my Saturn, while his Saturn opposed my Moon.

The strongest manifestation was emotional distance. Neither of us felt comfortable openly discussing our feelings. Even when we were angry, jealous, hurt, or frustrated, we often kept those feelings to ourselves.

There was a strong fear of rejection on both sides. I knew he had genuine feelings for me, but I was afraid that revealing too much would leave me vulnerable. He appeared to have similar concerns.

Affection also did not flow naturally. Neither of us felt completely comfortable being vulnerable, playful, or openly romantic around the other.

Interestingly, this was also my longest relationship. The emotional distance created frustration, but it also created curiosity. I wanted to know what he really felt, and he wanted to know what I felt. Eventually, we became more comfortable expressing ourselves, although we still tended to reveal our feelings gradually.

The sextile and trine are much easier. These aspects encourage emotional stability and maturity without creating the same degree of emotional inhibition. Saturn can provide the Moon person with security, while the Moon person can help Saturn become more emotionally connected.

Mercury-Saturn Aspects in Synastry

Mercury-Saturn contacts strongly affect communication. The relationship can encourage serious conversations, intellectual discipline, and practical thinking, but hard aspects can also create a feeling of being judged or silenced.

With the conjunction, square, or opposition, Mercury may feel that Saturn is overly critical of their ideas and opinions. Saturn may interrupt, dismiss, correct, or question Mercury’s way of thinking.

As a result, Mercury can become self-conscious about speaking openly. The Mercury person may start second-guessing what they say because they are worried about being judged.

In one of my previous relationships, my Mercury squared his Saturn. Because Mercury rules my 7th house, communication is particularly important to me in relationships. I often felt that my opinions were being dismissed or treated as unintelligent.

He was also considerably older than me, which amplified the feeling that he was speaking to me from a position of authority. I became increasingly self-conscious about expressing my ideas because I worried that he would think I was stupid.

Saturn can unintentionally create this dynamic by trying to correct or improve Mercury. Saturn may genuinely believe they are offering useful advice, while Mercury experiences the behavior as criticism.

The sextile and trine are much easier. Saturn gives structure to Mercury’s ideas and can offer practical advice without making Mercury feel inadequate. Mercury may respect Saturn’s judgment, while Saturn enjoys helping Mercury develop their communication skills.

Venus-Saturn Aspects in Synastry

Venus-Saturn contacts are strongly associated with commitment, loyalty, and long-term relationships. However, hard aspects can also create emotional or practical obstacles to love.

My longest relationship featured a close Saturn square Venus, with me as the Venus person.

This aspect is sometimes associated with unrequited love because Saturn can create a sense that love is somehow blocked or restricted. The restriction can take many forms.

Sometimes the obstacle comes from external circumstances. Saturn represents tradition, social expectations, and established structures, so family disapproval, cultural differences, age differences, social status, or physical distance can interfere with the relationship.

In my own case, we came from different cultural backgrounds, and my partner’s traditional family would not have approved of our relationship.

The restriction can also happen within the relationship itself. The Venus person may feel uncomfortable expressing affection because they fear Saturn’s rejection or disapproval.

I experienced this as difficulty expressing affection naturally. I sometimes held back from cuddling, saying affectionate things, or being openly romantic because I was worried about how he would respond.

The Saturn person may also take on a more authoritative or serious role in the relationship. Venus may feel that they have to behave a certain way to maintain Saturn’s approval.

The sextile and trine are much easier. Saturn provides commitment and stability, while Venus brings affection, attraction, and warmth. These aspects can help couples take their relationship seriously without making love feel like a burden.

Mars-Saturn Aspects in Synastry

Mars-Saturn contacts can be challenging, particularly when the conjunction, square, or opposition is involved.

Mars represents action, desire, sexuality, confidence, and physical energy, while Saturn represents restriction, caution, responsibility, and control.

The Saturn person may feel frustrated by the Mars person’s behavior and may attempt to slow them down, correct them, or impose rules on them. Mars, in turn, may feel that Saturn is constantly criticizing or restricting them.

The Mars person may see Saturn as condescending or overly controlling, while Saturn may view Mars as impulsive, impatient, or irresponsible.

This can create a frustrating cycle. Mars pushes forward, Saturn applies the brakes, Mars becomes frustrated, and Saturn responds by becoming even more restrictive.

Over time, this dynamic can damage Mars’s confidence if the criticism becomes excessive. Mars may begin to feel that nothing they do is good enough.

Because Mars is also associated with physical and sexual energy, hard Mars-Saturn aspects can sometimes create sexual frustration. One person may feel rejected or criticized, while the other may feel pressured or dissatisfied.

However, this aspect does not automatically indicate an unhealthy or abusive relationship. The rest of the synastry chart, as well as the maturity of both people, matters considerably.

The sextile and trine are easier to manage. Saturn can help Mars channel its energy more constructively, while Mars can encourage Saturn to take action rather than becoming overly cautious.

There is still a sense of restraint and responsibility, but the two people are generally better able to cooperate. The relationship can help both partners become more disciplined while maintaining physical attraction and motivation.

Mars Conjunct Saturn Synastry

Mars conjunct Saturn synastry creates a strong but complex connection between two people. The Saturn person often has a significant influence over the Mars person’s actions, ambitions, and self-expression.

The Saturn person may provide structure, discipline, and guidance that helps Mars achieve goals. Mars can feel motivated by Saturn’s stability and experience, while Saturn appreciates Mars’ energy and determination.

However, this aspect can also create frustration. Saturn may feel that Mars is impulsive, impatient, or irresponsible, while Mars may feel restricted, judged, or criticized by Saturn.

The Saturn person may try to control or direct Mars’ actions, causing Mars to feel as though they are constantly being corrected. Over time, this can create resentment if both people do not respect each other’s differences.

Sexual expression can also be affected. Saturn may appear reserved or cautious, while Mars desires more spontaneity and passion. Learning to balance desire with patience is important for this aspect.

When handled positively, Mars conjunct Saturn can create a relationship where two people build something lasting together.

Mars Square Saturn Synastry

Mars square Saturn synastry can create significant tension between two people. The Mars person’s desire to act freely may clash with Saturn’s need for control, structure, or caution.

The Saturn person may feel that Mars acts too quickly or without enough consideration, while Mars may feel blocked, criticized, or unsupported.

This aspect can create a pattern where Mars pushes forward and Saturn attempts to slow things down. Both people may feel frustrated because they believe the other person is preventing them from being understood.

Arguments can occur because Mars wants immediate action, while Saturn prefers planning and restraint. If communication breaks down, criticism and defensiveness can become recurring themes.

Sexual chemistry may also feel complicated. Mars may feel rejected or restricted, while Saturn may feel uncomfortable with Mars’ intensity.

However, this aspect can also teach patience and maturity. When both people learn to respect each other’s pace, Mars square Saturn can create endurance and commitment.

Mars Opposite Saturn Synastry

Mars opposite Saturn synastry creates a push-pull dynamic between passion and restraint. The attraction between two people may be strong, but they often approach life and relationships from very different perspectives.

The Mars person may feel that Saturn limits their freedom or blocks their ambitions. The Saturn person may feel that Mars is too impulsive, aggressive, or unwilling to consider consequences.

This aspect can create power struggles, especially if one person tries to control the other. Mars may become frustrated by Saturn’s restrictions, while Saturn may become frustrated by Mars’ impatience.

In relationships, this aspect requires both people to find a balance between independence and responsibility. When expressed positively, Saturn can provide stability for Mars, while Mars brings energy and motivation to Saturn.

Mars Sextile Saturn Synastry

Mars sextile Saturn synastry creates a supportive balance between passion and discipline. The Mars person brings energy, courage, and initiative, while the Saturn person provides structure, patience, and long-term planning.

Together, these two people can accomplish goals because they combine motivation with practicality.

The Saturn person helps Mars focus energy in productive ways, while Mars encourages Saturn to take action and embrace new experiences.

This aspect supports commitment and reliability. The relationship may feel stable because both people understand the importance of effort and responsibility.

Sexually, this aspect can create a satisfying balance between desire and patience.

Mars Trine Saturn Synastry

Mars trine Saturn synastry is one of the more supportive Mars-Saturn aspects. It creates a natural ability for two people to work together and support each other’s goals.

The Saturn person provides stability and encouragement, while the Mars person brings enthusiasm, confidence, and motivation.

This aspect can indicate a relationship where both people respect each other’s strengths. Saturn does not feel threatened by Mars’ energy, and Mars does not feel restricted by Saturn’s influence.

The relationship often benefits from loyalty, patience, and a shared desire to build something lasting.

Sexually, Mars trine Saturn can create a steady and dependable connection where passion grows stronger over time.
