Composite Jupiter-Saturn Aspects 

Composite Jupiter conjunct Saturn is generally a very good aspect to find in a Composite chart. Saturn in the planet of restriction, tradition, commitment, and responsibility, while Jupiter represent expansion and positivity. Together, they are a great team. In this relationship, there is a good mix of optimism and realism. The two of them feel positive about their relationship and long-term potential.

Composite Jupiter sextile or trine Saturn is a wonderful aspect to find in a Composite chart. It indicates the couple feel positive about their future together. In this relationship, responsibility and commitment does not feel like a burden. The couple takes on challenges with stride and work together very well.

Composite Jupiter opposite or square Saturn indicates differences between the couple. One of the partners might be very optimistic and positive, while the other is more pessimistic and realistic. When one partner has big ideas or big plans, the other partner might express skepticism and offer practical alternatives. One partner might see the other as a ‘wet blanket’.

Composite Saturn-Uranus Aspects 

Composite Saturn conjunct Uranus can be a challenging aspect. Uranus is the planet of freedom and liberation, while Saturn is the planet of responsibility and duty. In this relationship, both partners may feel they cannot express their individuality and uniqueness. As a result, the relationship can feel quite restrictive and restrained, with little room for spontaneity. This aspect also indicates the couple has difficulty when it comes to commitment and responsibility, and may feel they cannot count on each other in times of need.

Composite Saturn trine or sextile Uranus is a generally positive aspect. It indicates a positive blending of freedom with responsibility. Both partners feel they can express their unique individuality in this relationship, while still remaining committed and responsible to each other.

Composite Saturn square or opposite Uranus is a challenging aspect, which acts much like the conjunction. Hard aspects between Saturn and Uranus show a clash between commitment and loyalty, and freedom and individuality. Both partners likely feel quite burdened or stifled by the relationship, for they feel the relationship restricts their freedom in some way. When one partner tries to control or restrict, the other partner rebels and wants to break free. Both partners feel they cannot be themselves in this relationship.

Composite Saturn-Neptune Aspects 

Composite Saturn conjunct Neptune indicates a blending of realism and practicality, with spirituality and compassion. Neptune is a very dreamy, sensitive, impractical sign, while Saturn represents realism, maturity and discipline. This aspect indicates the couple takes practical steps to make their dreams come true. This is a wonderful aspect to see in the charts of spiritually-minded or creative couples, as Saturn provides practicality, reason, and prudence for Neptune’s dreams and fantasies.

Composite Saturn sextile or trine Neptune indicates the couple work together to make their dreams a reality. Neptune is generally impractical and dreamy, so Saturn’s influence is welcome here. Neptune softens Saturn’s hard edges, so the relationship does not feel overly stuffy or restrictive.

Composite Saturn square or opposite Neptune is a challenging aspect. It indicates a tension between duty and responsibility (Saturn) and fantasy, dreams, and spirituality (Neptune). One partner may feel the other is overly pessimistic and cold, while the other feels their partner is impractical and delusional. This aspect can point to a lot of hurt feelings and frustrations.

Composite Saturn-Pluto Aspects 

Composite Saturn conjunct Pluto is a very powerful aspect. Saturn is the planet of restriction, discipline, commitment, responsibility and duty, among other things. Pluto represents death. transformation, obsession, deep intimacy and shared resources. This aspect can point to an obsession with duty and responsibility, with each partner testing each other’s loyalty and commitment to the relationship. On the plus side, this aspect can bond a couple together, for they both might feel very committed and loyal to each other. If they work together, this aspect can indicate much success, as they are very powerful when they work together towards a common goal.

Composite Saturn sextile or trine Pluto is a positive aspect that indicates the couple feels stronger as a unit, than they do individually. They encourage each other’s determination and commitment, and feel they can take on any challenge when they are together.

Composite Saturn square or opposite Pluto is a challenging aspect. Pluto is the sign of deep intimacy, transformation and intense bonding, so a hard aspect from Saturn can block or restrict these energies. The couple might play games to test each other’s commitment and loyalty in the relationship. Jealousy and paranoia can cause issues between the couple. They might find it difficult to work together or support each other due to the intense power struggles between them.

The Astrology of Unrequited Love

Unrequited love is a result of many situations, but they usually occur when 1) one person does not feel as strongly for their partner, or 2) something keeps the couple from being together.

These types of relationships are never easy, as at least one or both partner yearn for the other. It can be hard to accept the relationship is over, and you may see that partner as the “one that got away”.

In this article, we go over some major indicators that a relationship may end up in an ‘unrequited love’ scenario.

Saturn in Synastry and Unrequited Love

Aspects to watch out for:

  • One person’s Venus in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn
  • One person’s 7th house ruler in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn

Most of you may have guessed I’d mention Saturn in this article. Saturn is the planet of restriction and realism, as well as maturity and commitment.

When Saturn is well-aspected in a Synastry chart, the couple is likely quite committed and settled with each other. There is a feeling that they can depend on each other, and they feel responsible to one another. Positive Saturn aspects are commonly found in the synastry charts of married couples and long-term relationships, for they act as the ‘glue’ that keep a couple together.

When Saturn is not well-aspected in a Synastry chart, unrequited love can be the result. This is especially true in the case of hard Venus-Saturn synastry aspects, or if either person’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to the other person’s 7th house ruler.

If one person’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to another person’s Venus, barriers to commitment and partnership are indicated. In these relationships, the Saturn person might have some sort of restrictions or obstacles that keep them from being with the Venus person.

For example, perhaps the Saturn person is already in a relationship. If this is the case, the Saturn person is not likely to leave their current partner for the Venus person, as the Saturn person likely feels very responsible to their current relationship.

Another example could be religious or cultural barriers. Perhaps the Saturn persons’ family would not approve of the Venus person due to cultural or religious differences, and that is what keeps the couple from entering a real partnership.

Of course, the Saturn person may simply have inner fears regarding vulnerability and rejection, which keeps them from opening up fully to the Venus person.

I’ve found that couples with Venus-Saturn aspects find it hard to open up and talk to each other about their feelings.  It can feel awkward to be vulnerable with each other, so the couple might avoid those kinds of conversations completely.

Whatever the reason, unrequited love is definitely a possibility when Saturn makes a harsh aspect to Venus in a Synastry chart.

The ruler of the 7th house in hard aspect to another person’s Saturn works similarly to the Venus-Saturn aspect I just mentioned. The 7th house is naturally ruled by Venus, so it also indicates barriers and obstacles to the couple being together.

What is your 7th house ruler?

  • If your 1st house is in Aries, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your 1st house is in Taurus, the 7th house ruler is Pluto
  • If your 1st house is in Gemini, the 7th house ruler is Jupiter
  • If your 1st house is in Cancer, the 7th house ruler is Saturn
  • If your 1st house is in Leo, the 7th house ruler is Uranus
  • If your 1st house is in Virgo, the 7th house ruler is Neptune
  • If your 1st house is in Libra, the 7th house ruler is Mars
  • If your 1st house is in Scorpio, the 7th house ruler is Venus
  • If your 1st house is in Sagittarius, the 7th house ruler is Mercury
  • If your 1st house is in Capricorn, the 7th house ruler is the Moon
  • If your 1st house is in Aquarius, the 7th house ruler is the Sun
  • If your 1st house is in Pisces, the 7th house ruler is Mercury

If someone’s Saturn makes a hard aspect to your 7th house ruler, an unrequited love may be indicated.  In this case, the Saturn person might have internal or external barriers which prevent them from committing fully to you.

Uranus in Synastry and Unrequited Love

Aspects to watch out for:

  • One person’s Venus in hard aspect to another person’s Uranus
  • One person’s 7th house ruler in hard aspect to another person’s Uranus

Uranus can be tricky in synastry, especially when it is aspecting another person’s Venus or 7th house ruler. It indicates the couple likely fell in love quite quickly and suddenly, but the relationship will likely end as suddenly. Uranus is unstable and unpredictable, and tends to prevent a formal commitment from forming.

In many cases, Uranus relationships are downright bizarre, as the Uranus person is too impractical and unstable for the relationship to continue. However, there are instances in which sudden, unexpected external factors prevent the couple from settling down together.

Perhaps the relationship is long distance, so the couple cannot find time to spend extended periods together. Or, perhaps the Uranus person is not fond of commitment, and would rather keep the relationship open in some way.

This might be very hard for the planet person, especially if a formal commitment is what they want. No matter how hard the planet person tries, they cannot ‘tame’ the Uranus person. If the planet person is very in love with the Uranus person, the relationship can be extremely frustrating and may eventually break up.

Unrequited Love in the Composite Chart

Aspects to watch out for:

  • Composite Venus (or 7th house ruler) in hard aspect to Composite Saturn
  • Composite Venus (or 7th house ruler) in hard aspect to Composite Uranus

These aspects in a Composite Chart are major indicators of a relationship that the relationship may not last.

In the case of Venus-Saturn hard aspects in Composite, barriers and obstacles exist in the relationship which prevent the couple from formalizing a commitment. Saturn in hard aspect to the 7th house ruler of the Composite chart works very similarly. External barriers may prevent them from being together, or one person simply may not feel the same way as the other partner.

With Venus-Uranus in the Composite chart, the relationship may be unpredictable or untraditional in some way, and settling down into a formal, traditional partnership might not be in the cards. If one of the partners wants a formal commitment, they may face difficulties due to the unpredictable and erratic nature of Uranus.

Unrequited Love in the Natal Chart

There are some natal aspects which point to someone who experiences unrequited love in their lifetime.

As with Synastry, Saturn aspects to love planets in the natal chart can indicate pain and loss when it comes to love. My ex boyfriend has Venus square Saturn in his natal chart, and he has unfortunately had a lot of pain in his relationship life (though, he does bring a lot of it on himself!).

People with harsh Venus-Saturn aspects in their natal charts may suffer from low self-esteem. They may feel they are unlovable or unworthy of true love, and often marry out of duty and end up in a loveless marriage. Or, it can prevent partnership and commitment completely.

Venus-Saturn folks usually have a strong fear of rejection and do not like appearing vulnerable to others. There may also be external factors that always get in the way of true love.

As a result, they may experience unrequited love. They might tend to fall in love with the ‘wrong’ people, or may even subconsciously choose ‘unavailable’ people because they know the relationship will end eventually.

 

All in all, unrequited love scenarios are very difficult to deal with, particularly when you really want the relationship to work. If you see strong Saturn or Uranus aspects in your synastry or Composite, especially if they make hard aspects to Venus or the ruler of the 7th house, you may end up in an unrequited love situation.

If you find yourself in a relationship like this, please remember that the universe has someone better in store for you.

Composite Venus and Aspects

The Synastry and Composite are the most important charts in relationship astrology.

In the Composite Chart, the Venus represents how the couple expresses love and what it values.  Venus also rules beauty, harmony, fairness, and material possessions.

To properly assess Venus, we look at the sign, house, and aspects the Venus receives from other Composite planets. In this article, we will go over how the Composite Venus behaves in aspect to other Composite Planets.

Composite Sun-Venus

Composite Mercury-Venus

The conjunction between Mercury and Venus indicates a relationship where the intellectual and the affectionate are blended. This aspect indicates the couple loves talking to each other. Conversations are sweet, affectionate, and loving. They love to talk, text, and sext regularly. They share inside jokes and have similar senses of humor. I’ve found this aspect means the couple loves to kiss and make out, too!

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are wonderful aspects to see in a Composite Chart. They show good emotional communication and an ease in expressing your affections to each other.

The opposition between the Mercury and Venus can bring friction and fascination. As a couple, they will bounce back and forth between being too intellectual or too affectionate in their communication with each other. Both partners can help each other express their loving and intellectual sides.

The square between Mercury and Venus indicates the two of them have different communication styles, which may lead to misunderstandings. While squares bring fascination, they also bring friction. When one partner is in an amorous mood, the other might respond intellectually. This can lead to feelings of underappreciation from both partners.  They must take extra steps to ensure both partners feel valued in this relationship.  It is important to exercise tolerance and patience with each other.

Composite Venus-Mars

The conjunction between the Venus in Mars in a Composite Chart is spicy hot! What an amazing aspect to see in a synastry chart! It indicates a very strong physical and sexual attraction, and sex might have been on the table almost immediately.

They are physically affectionate with each other, and sometimes cannot even keep their hands of one another. This relationship is full of passion, energy, and love. This placement certainly keeps the fire burning strong! They look very good together, and others can feel the sexual energy between then.

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are wonderful aspects to see in a Composite Chart.

The opposition between the Venus and Mars is also very sexy, but there is a stark difference in the way this couple expresses love vs. passion. When one person expresses their love and affection, the other might respond aggressively or sexually, rather than lovingly.

This can lead to scenarios in which one person feels unappreciated or used. This aspect stimulates a lot of passion in this relationship, and can even bring intense love-hate themes. The couple can definitely overcome this aspect with compromise and mutual understanding. It is important to understand each other’s perspective here.

The square between the Venus and Mars acts somewhat like the opposition, but does not have the benefits. The way the couple expresses love and affection are at odds with the way the couple’s energy and drive.

There is a tension in this relationship that is felt by both parties due to this square. There are frequent blow ups and arguments in this relationship, which might lead to some mindblowing make up sex.

You are very sensitive to each other and know how to get under each other’s skin. At least one of the partners feels unappreciated by the other. In this relationship, it is extremely to compromise and make each other feel appreciated and loved.

Composite Venus-Jupiter

The conjunction between Venus and Jupiter in the Composite Chart indicates a positive and generous couple.  They are a happy, adventurous, fun-loving couple who love to make each other laugh. They feel good in each other’s presence, as will others. They trust each other and accept each other’s flaws. They are far more positive and joyful when they are together.

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are wonderful aspects to see in a Composite Chart.

The opposition and square between the Composite Moon and Jupiter can magnify the generosity and positive feelings within the couple, but it may also feature the wastefulness and neglect described in the conjunction aspect.

Since Venus is associated with money and spending, both partners may encourage the other to overindulge in spending, food, shopping, etc. They might also encourage each other’s laziness and procrastination. There is such thing as “too much fun”, after all!

Composite Venus-Saturn

The conjunction between the Venus and Saturn in the Composite Chart indicates a mature, committed, responsible couple. There is a deep sense of responsibility and duty to each other. They are not the most affectionate couple, but they are steady, reliable, and in it for the long run. This relationship is likely traditional in some way.  

Their relationship might develop quite slowly, as the couple needs to feel safe and secure before committing to each other. Commitment will come naturally to this couple, due to the strong feelings of responsibility and duty to the other. It would be very difficult for these two to break up.

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are good aspects to see in a Composite chart, as it increases the responsibility and commitment of the couple, without feeling like a burden.

The opposition and square between the Composite Moon and Saturn can be very difficult in a relationship!

It may be difficult for this couple to get their relationship off the ground, as there are various obstacles and barriers to them being together. These barriers can include distance, a lack of time, or even other commitments.

For example, my ex and I had Venus square Saturn in our composite chart, and we were unable to be together due to religious differences; his family would have never accepted me.

If the barriers are not coming from outside, they could be coming from within. It may be very difficult for this couple to express their love and affection for each other. It can feel downright awkward and unnatural for them. This can obviously lead to at least one of the couples feelings unloved or unappreciated. Overall, this is a very problematic aspect in a Composite chart.

 

Composite Venus-Uranus

The conjunction between the Venus and Uranus in the Composite Chart indicates an exciting and unpredictable partnership. There might be something ‘different’ about this relationship – perhaps they come from completely different backgrounds, and each bring something ‘new’ to the other person’s life.

This relationship probably started very quickly, and they were immediately attracted to each other. This relationship is fun and exciting, and always feels ‘new’. At the same time, Uranus can bring a very unpredictable and unstable energy to the relationship, and it is very important to allow each other a lot of space.

This relationship can work in the long run, as long as other Composite aspect support longevity. Otherwise, it can end as quickly as it started!

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are good aspects to see in a Composite chart, as it increases the fun and lighthearted aspect of this relationship.

It will keep the relationship fresh and fun, without all the instability and unpredictability of the harsher aspects.

The opposition and square between the Composite Venus and Uranus can be very difficult. Uranus brings many unpredictable changes to this relationship, which can be very upsetting for someone who likes stability and constancy.

This relationship likely started very suddenly and unexpectedly, and they are likely not each other’s regular ‘type’. In fact, others may be quite puzzled how they got together in the first place. This relationship is unstable, unpredictable, and perhaps hard to define.

It is likely this relationship will be quick one, or have an on-and-off energy to it. There may be many breakups and reunions, but settling down into a stable and reliable committed relationship can be difficult.

Composite Venus-Neptune

The conjunction between the Venus and Neptune in the Composite Chart indicates a relationship full of idealization and fantasy.  There is a strong feeling of being soulmates. This couple is sensitive to each other, and feel they are spiritually and intuitively connected.

They are very forgiving and sweet to each other, and look over each other’s faults. They see each other, and the relationship, through ‘rose coloured glasses’. As a couple, they are very charitable and helpful to others.

On the downside, this aspect increases the likelihood of deception in a relationship, for there is a tendency for each partner to see what they want to see in each other, rather than seeing them for who they truly are. My parents actually have this aspect, and they are the sweetest couple and have been together over 40 years!

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are good aspects to see in a Composite chart, as they increase compassion and sensitivity to each other.

The opposition and square between the Composite Venus and Neptune can be very challenging and confusing. Here, the thread of deceit is much higher than in the conjunction. At first, this connection will feel very sweet and dreamy, and each person will feel they have found their soulmate.

However, over time, this relationship becomes confusing and hard to define. There may be a tendency for one or both partners to tell the other what they want to hear. There may also be secrets or hidden agendas in this relationship.

This aspect is commonly seen in extra marital affairs, or in other relationships in which one or both people are deceiving the other.

Composite Venus-Pluto

The conjunction between the Venus and Pluto in the Composite Chart indicates an intense, transformative relationship that is hard to break!

These two are passionately in love with each other, to the point of obsession. They are possessive over each other, and easily make each other jealous. They are magnetically drawn to each other and share a very close, intimate bond.

Sex and intimacy are extremely important in this relationship, it is an expression of their deep love. They want to know each and every fact and secret about the other. They demand complete and utter commitment and loyalty.

Others notice their deep passion and intensity for one another, and might even feel jealous of your bond.

The sextile and trine act similarly to the conjunction, but with less intensity. These are good aspects to see in a Composite chart, as it increases the emotional intensity of the relationship in a positive and constructive way.

The opposition or square between the Composite Venus and Pluto is very challenging. Like in the case of the conjunction, this couple is completely obsessed with each other. There is a very strong physical and sexual bond here.

On the downside, power struggles may feature strongly in this relationship. Each partner might be constantly trying to get the upper hand over the other, and may resort to petty game playing and manipulation.

There is a huge fear of losing each other, as this aspect increases distrust and paranoia in the relationship. Despite this, both are very attached to the relationship, as there is a strong “can’t live with you, can’t live without you” theme here.

In some ways, the couple may feel the relationship brings out the worst in them. This relationship might be quite toxic, but it is very binding, so it will be hard for the two of them to part ways without a lot of ugliness.

Composite Venus-Node

The conjunction between the Venus and North Node in the Composite Chart is an excellent aspect to see in a Composite Chart! Venus naturally rules partnership and marriage, so the conjunction with the North Node is a great placement to see.  

There is a feeling of “going somewhere” with the other person. They will both learn important lessons about partnership, equality, cooperation and love through this relationship.

North Node connections can feel very uncomfortable for some, as it represents leaving one’s comfort zone, but they are also very compelling and ultimately ‘feel right’.  

In this relationship, there is a feeling the relationship is ‘meant to be’. The relationship is based on shared love and affection, and each partner will grow and develop a lot in this relationship. This is a very binding aspect, as both partners feel they are on a journey together. There is a strong feeling of moving forward and progress.

I have seen this aspect many times in the charts of married couples, due to the union of love and fate.

The conjunction between the Venus and South Node in the Composite Chart indicates a significant past-life connection. These two were likely married or had a romantic relationship in a past life, and have reunited in this lifetime to attend to unfinished business.

They are naturally drawn to another because of this. Check the house Venus resides in the Composite Chart to show the nature of this connection. The connection between them is easy and comfortable, and they feel immediately attached.

This aspect can bind two people together for a long time, and it will be one of the most significant relationships of their life. On the downside, the relationship may eventually feel draining for at least one of the partners. The lack of progress or evolving in this relationship may also be bothersome to at least one of them (but this depends on the couple’s individual natal charts).
