© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Saturn trine or sextile your natal Venus. This is a time when the practical nature of relationships is emphasized over their feeling nature. These relationships function practically and smoothly and there may be an element of formality and professionalism involved. In romantic relationships, there is the tendency for an unequal arrangement or partnership. Often this is caused by a substantial age or status difference. In ancient times, this was the aspect desired for traditional marriages that lasted a long time and were usually arranged by the parents. While there may be an element of "obligation" involved, it is not usually onerous, at least not at this time. There may be a subtle attiude that love must be earned.
