Yes, yes I know…There is  more to Synastry  (the comparison of two birth charts to look for indicators of compatibility & resonance et al) than just the Sun Signs. But i get asked about it a lot & sometimes it’s fun to do. I think Virgo & Taurus are super-compatible. They’re both Earth Signs & they share a distinct, um, earthy physical bond. They also tend to agree on what constitutes doing things “right.” There won’t be anyone frog-marching the other out of a party or flipping out because the electricity bill hasn’t been paid on time. They can so get off one another’s rightness to the point that their complancy slides into smugness. Heaven help everyone if they turn sanctimonious.

But there can be issues because Virgo IS a Mutable sign (like Gemini, Pisces and Saggo) so far more able to entertain differing points of view than our Taurus. Virgoans are fussy and principled but like to apply logic and do witty debate. Taurus is more on the Right = Might end of things. Then again, Virgo works herself  up into a shocking state of angst over more or less nothing from time to time as Taurus – who has enough self-adequacy for ten people – watches in muted horror. Still, I love the idea of these two and how they could each be so beneficial to one another…

Saturn-Venusian Transits & Venus-Neptune/Pisces/12th House

cover_3Having Saturn transitting one’s Venus is like being stalked by a scary life coach. If your Venus is between 18 and 26 degrees of a Mutable sign, you’re having a Saturn-Venus transit. Or 18 to 26 of anything but especially the Mutable. It’s very similar if Saturn is aspecting your Ascendent  or Descendent.  Or transitting (I so nearly typed transhitting) your 5th or 7th House.

So my Venus – this is just to illustrate- is at 22 Pisces and trine Neptune in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces peeps are already prone to romanticise – having it trine Neptune is just the icing. So the other day I’m walking out of the gym and my mind meanders to the stupid Uranian & his devastating combo of black hair/blue eyes & how charming he can be when not off his face. Venus-Neptune v.quickly took me to a point where I was thinking how my Saturn his on his North Node and that maybe it is my destiny to sort his life out or something like that.

Suddenly I swear I practically heard the voice of Saturn; ‘get a fuqing grip, don’t date men who are beneath you.’  Now Venus in Pisces is about universal compassion and she certainly doesn’t think people are beneath you. But Saturn is all about setting standards and having the self-control to stick to them. Venus in Pisces never lets go of an ex. She drops them – yes- and usually for someone else but then Venus in Pisces doubles-back & re-idealizes the Ex, just for kicks. It gets Venus in Pisces peeps (Venus-Neptune is similar) a bad reputation but they don’t mean to be manipulative.

Venus in Pisces/12th House/aspecting Neptune has another core competency – apart from compassion and forgiveness; the ability to imbue anyone she considers hot with enormous spiritual qualities & a sense of fate being at play. This is apt for men with the Venus set up as well – i say she as we are talking about Venus here. Men with Venus in Pisces/12th house/aspecting Neptune are usually v.aware of the Madonna-Ho complex. They live there, lol.

So if you’ve got Saturn on your case – right now the Taskmaster is at 20 degrees of Virgo – remember that he is just doing his job & that the sooner you set up some boundaries and enforce them + work about ten times harder than would seem appropriate, the Saturnine stress dissipates & cop the rewards: Health, Wealth & Wisdom.
