Venus and Saturn in favorable aspect

Astrological aspects: general introduction

The analysis of a natal chart must be as comprehensive as possible. This is what we do as we make our personalized reports available in our e-shop. It must be borne in mind that many astrologers concentrate on the interpretation of planets in signs and in houses, and of angles, without paying enough attention to aspects. On the contrary, we believe that when aspects involve personal planets between themselves or slow-moving planets, they are of fundamental importance. In all cases, they are at least as significant as the Ascendant or the Sun. This is particularly relevant when the orb is tight (i.e. when the aspect is exact). This is the criterion we apply for this new series of articles which describe how well-known personalities experience certain aspects.

Venus and Saturn in harmonious aspect

In this article, we address the major favorable aspect between Venus and Saturn, whether it involves a harmonious conjunction – that is, one receiving no negative aspects – a sextile, or a trine.

Studying a favorable link between Venus and Saturn is almost like imagining the marriage of opposites.

Indeed, Venus, the planet of beauty, love, and harmony, is light and sensual, entirely focused on the pursuit of its pleasures. We examine it in the birth chart to assess our love life, our way of pleasing, obtaining advantages, and recreating an idyllic world where difficulties and ugliness are distant or erased.

For women, Venus describes the way they go about seducing, while in men's charts, it represents those who will attract them, both sentimentally and physically.

In contrast, the values of Saturn and the appearance associated with it are at the opposite end of these harmonious and pleasant characteristics. Here, we have the image of an austere old man, whose merit lies in stability and lived experience.

Severe and rigid, the planet does not allow deviation from the lines or conduct that one sets for oneself. It values effort and even sacrifice, as it aims to build projects that withstand the test of time.

When Saturn shows us its best face, it can promise true wisdom, acceptance of imperative necessities, and long-term successful ambition, away from futile concerns, the desire to please, or social agitation.

How will Venus and Saturn manage to get along? The question of reconciling their energies is not easy to resolve, but when these two planets are linked by a positive aspect, their combination is nonetheless interesting.

The native possesses a moral and dignified aura that contributes to the image they project. Both upright and kind, they are known for their fidelity to their partner but also to their ideas and vision of existence.

Most of the time, they manage to thrive within a relationship so solid that it withstands the years, even decades.

In other cases, fulfillment comes quite late in life or relies on an older partner, a Saturnian figure of duty and seriousness.

As always in astrology, there are multiple possible paths, and these are just a few avenues for reflection.

The alliance of Venus and Saturn is, in summary, a tendency towards fidelity, longevity, and responsibility in romantic relationships and in the area of life described by the house in which Venus is located, although there can of course be exceptions, especially when active transits temporarily move in the opposite direction.

This combination also indicates a certain modesty in the expression of feelings, which is manifested more in actions than in attitude or gestures. The natives often appear colder than they actually are.

In order to better explain this aspect, we are mentioning several well-known personalities, here David Bowie (trine), Kim Novak (favorable conjunction), Javier Bardem (favorable conjunction), and Nicole Kidman (trine).

This article deliberately isolates the aspects so as to better describe them. For this reason, it claims on no account to be a psychological analysis of the celebrity in question, for whom many other articles are available in the "Focus" section.

It is possible to find thousands of other horoscopes having Venus and Saturn in favorable aspect (or any other aspects), with the online tool search. The planets, positions in sign and in house as well as the orb, are configurable.

David Bowie

Tribute to David Bowie, a mythical artist who also has these two planets in angular positions.

Venus sits at the Midheaven in Sagittarius, while Saturn is on the Descendant angle in Leo, accompanied by the Moon.

A Capricorn native, David Bowie is particularly influenced by the planet of authority and rigor that rules this sign. We can already perceive this in the fact that David Bowie took some time before breaking through.

A young man whose voice was initially considered average (!), nothing seemed to predispose him to make rock history, except for his inner conviction.

Secretly, David Bowie began by immersing himself in various artistic circles in London in the late 60s and early 70s.

It is interesting to note that he even played utility roles as a mime, a performance aligned with this aspect, as was the extraterrestrial character Ziggy Stardust. This reference, one of the threads running through his long career, is very evocative of his distant allure, the creature parachuted to earth (also influenced by his Aquarius Ascendant).

Fortunately for him, his talent eventually exploded. Although he explored everything in music and even other artistic fields such as cinema, painting, and writing, David Bowie did not scatter: his unique style is always perceptible, as is his voice, which leaves a lasting impression on his admirers.

In terms of his love life, David Bowie had multiple experiences during a free-spirited era before marrying Iman in 1992. He seems to have then found a well-considered stability and balance with the woman who remained his wife until his passing.

The couple was able to thrive away from the public eye, sharing a solid attachment over time.

Kim Novak

Kim Novak, the star of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, released in 1958, magnificently embodied the aspect we are discussing: her birth chart shows a close conjunction between Venus and Saturn on the Ascendant in Aquarius. This sign strongly influences the native, as the Sun is also there. Two fundamental elements of the chart are thus under the mastery of Saturn.

After the deprivations of childhood, Kim Novak was not afraid to be ambitious. Although she was very reserved emotionally, she built her career by imposing an inaccessible beauty, almost impervious to the desires of directors and producers.

She had a few relationships with her on-screen partners but eventually set her sights on a veterinarian, a serious man far removed from the glittering world, who shared her affection for animals.

Now a widow, she seems to embrace her solitude, cherishing the memory of a rare love found in her professional milieu and which she valued greatly.

The Moon involved by trine with Venus and Saturn likely reinforced this balance in her love life.

She even dedicated an art book to her late husband, proving that their bond will endure as long as she lives.

Javier Bardem

Javier Bardem / Author : Georges Biard 05-2018 / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en)

Born in the Canary Islands, Javier Bardem initially considered a sports career before successfully venturing into cinema.

Despite his fame, he is known for his image as a serious actor, never throwing tantrums or making scenes. He stays on the straight and narrow, adhering to the moral standards prompted by the aspect we are studying.

His relationship with Penélope Cruz is often cited as one that lasts without making waves.

As a Pisces native, Javier Bardem is strongly influenced by Venus, ruling his Libra Ascendant and closely conjunct Saturn in Aries. This alliance in a Fire sign with the planet of rigor, where Venus is in exile, can represent a challenge. In his case, it has led to success.

The trine of the Moon in Leo also contributes to ensuring balance and confidence regarding the longevity of his marriage.

Although he cultivates discretion, he once made a revealing remark about the aspect. When asked about his meeting with Penélope Cruz in 1992 and that the relationship only became official in 2007, after his partner had a well-publicized love life, he explained: "What we value most is our past. We met at the very beginning, and that's important because when we met again, I saw her, and she saw me."

Nicole Kidman

The magnificent Australian actress Nicole Kidman possesses a very beautiful Venus, remarkably positioned at the Midheaven, heralding a popular artistic career where her physical appearance is an undeniable asset.

The planet also benefits from a grand Fire trine, a highly beneficial configuration completing this astrological signature with a Moon in Sagittarius and Saturn in Aries.

The aspect under study grants this actress the gift of attracting all eyes with her flaming hair, while maintaining an elegant and appropriate distance. From her native Australia to Hollywood, Nicole Kidman has successfully evolved, leaving her mark on the film industry with her seriousness and thoughtful choices.

Throughout her long career, she has played a wide variety of roles, true to the chameleon nature of her Sun sign, Gemini, while remaining true to herself.

In her love life, her highly publicized marriage to Tom Cruise was followed by a balanced and stable relationship for many years with Keith Urban, a country singer also from Australia.

Living primarily in Nashville, the couple leads a quiet life away from the spotlight. Even if rare, Nicole Kidman represents an absolute star figure, the face of many luxury brands.
