5 Things We Get Wrong about Venus Conjunct Saturn

Hey everyone, this is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology. I am out of town this week on a family vacation. And so a few of my friends and colleagues, as well as a few Nightlight alumni, are joining us this week to fill in for me while I'm gone. Alex Amorosi and Alexandra Skye have been doing content for me this week. It's been really nice to have them. I'm so thankful that they could show up, and I hope you've been enjoying their work. Today, Alex will be back with us to talk about some of the major misconceptions that people have about contact between Venus and Saturn. I think you will really enjoy this talk today. So I will hand it over to him in just a second. But before we get into it, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your comments and reflections.

On that note, I will hand things over to Alex, who's giving us an explanation about the things we really tend to get wrong: major misconceptions that we have about the pairing of Venus and Saturn. So I hope you will enjoy it.

Hey everybody, this is Alex Amorosi. Today, I am at the news desk for Adam Elenbaas. He's out on vacation. So, I am going to do this video for you on Venus's conjunction with Saturn in Pisces. We're going to talk about five misconceptions about Venus and Saturn in general. We'll throw in a little Pisces, and then we'll speak a little piece about it. But it'll be really fun. It's always fun when Adam gives me the keys and says drive, and I'm like, well, you're given a Leo rising Sagittarius Sun keys, so God only knows where we're gonna wind up. Hmm.

So, before we start, let's get to the time-honored traditions of a nightlight astrology video. Press the like button or whatever verb or action or James Hillman story you would like to tell about the button. I didn't realize there was some kind of creative contest about the like button. But it's been hilarious to see what people are coming up with on Adams' Instagram. I didn't realize it was a thing until that started to happen.

Like and subscribe. It helps the channel to grow if you're interested in getting to know more about Adam's work, his classes, etc. You can go to nightlightastrology.com. If you're interested in learning about Adam's wife Ashley's herbal apprenticeship, which begins in April, you can go to skyhouseherbs.com. And, um, I think that's all I'm supposed to say. There may be more, but who knows? And then for me, if you'd like to get to know me a little bit more, or if you'd like to do some work with me,

My website is Alexamorosi.com. You can find all the information on my services on that website. I am not only an astrologer, but I'm an intuitive and energy worker. That's actually what I did before astrology. For many years, I've done that, God, like, but 11 or 12 years. Now, um, so one of my most popular services actually is a combination of astrology and intuitive reading, where we kind of bounced back and forth between your chart and my hits.

I'll tell you the impressions I'm getting, and then we'll look at the astrology, and we put it all together. And it's really fun often, like some; I've been astounded by some of the detective work we can do together and one of those readings to bring out what is looking to be healed or seen or known. It's really, really fun and can be really, really profound.

So that's the information to begin, by the way, making these videos like sometimes I'm like, How does Adam sit down and do this five days a week like, it's not. So, as easy as it looks, even for a Leo who's just sitting here at the camera, right? But let's talk about today: Venus is in conjunction with Saturn. Now, before I get to my list, let's actually look at this conjunction. So you'll see on this chart I have not figured out how to take my asteroids and Chiron out of my transit chart.

So, for those of you who don't use asteroids or Chiron, I invite you to open your heart and your mind and your soul to the asteroids and Chiron. And if then being there is really a lot, then I get it. It's kind of a lot to look at. But we'll just focus on Venus and Saturn today. So I use about a five to three, three to five-degree range or orb for these kinds of conjunctions. You see Venus just pulling into about five degrees with Saturn around March 16, or Venus is in Pisces for exultation; she's very strong. This is one of the most powerful positions for Venus in the Zodiac.

Now, Venus starts moving towards Saturn; she's around three-ish degrees by about March 19. She hits the conjunction with Saturn on March 21. There, it is about past Saturn and will be moving out by about three to four degrees by March 24. And fully out of range, really, by March 25. But what's really interesting about that is just as Venus is passing out of a five-degree range to Saturn or Saturn, we have that lunar Eclipse coming through in Libra, and I'm not going to get into the Eclipse today; there will be plenty of videos, I'm sure on that Eclipse, but it is really significant, I think and one thing I'm noticing about the astrology of mid-March through the end of April, there are a lot of interrelated patterns that are happening. Some of them I'm going to talk about in the videos I do; I'm sure Adam will talk about them in a lot of his videos; you're gonna see a lot of content on that. But that's the general timeframe.

So we're looking at something around March 16 to about March 25 if you're giving a five-degree orb, and you know, that's gonna be a really interesting period to watch for. And I think so, so let me back up a little bit. You know, when we see this, especially if you know astrology, right, you see this coming, and there are certain things that come to mind. There are certain misconceptions or certain fears. And you know, I think that, as I was saying before, there's a real tendency in astrology to basically start to think about the transit not only from shorthand but from the worst-case scenario.

I don't know if I said this in a previous video that I've done. But we tend to take our anxiety onto the transit, or we tend to take it if we have catastrophic thinking; I come from a long line of catastrophic Italians; we tend to take that onto the transit, right, so we start to bring in all of these conceptualizations that can feel really scary, especially when a planet like Saturn is involved, or Uranus is involved, or Pluto is involved. Our mind can run really fast, like, you know, oh my god.

So, what is the number one misconception about Venus and Saturn? You already know it. I know you're already thinking about it. If you know Venus and Saturn at all, you're already thinking about it. Standing by relationships, standard relationships, it's the relationships that are just going to blow up everywhere around me. Oh my god, relationships. And that's possible. That is possible. But one thing that I've noticed with Venus and Saturn in practice is Venus. And Saturn tends to be more about the end of a form of relational style. So what does that mean? Whether we're in a relationship with someone else or are not, we have our own patterns and relationships.

We tend to relate in a certain way. We have the we have the patterns that we've picked up from our parents. We have the patterns we've picked up from our models, we have the patterns that we've picked up from our family from the world, our expectations, all of that. They serve us sometimes, and sometimes they don't. What Saturn does a lot of times is it forms a kind of gateway. It forms a crucible that confines you in a little bit and says Is this really how you want to relate? Is this pattern of relating in a relationship actually working? You know, even in our long-term relationships, it's very common that we go through phases in that relationship.

We go through the dating, you know, the dating honeymoon phase, and then we go through the getting serious phase. And then, we go through the commitment phase. And then we go through the, you know, the shifts and changes that we go through as we get older, and we start to change and shift in our lives change and shift, and we have to recreate the relationship on some levels. Those are all Saturn quality qualities, right? And it's really interesting to see what happens in your thoughts and in your emotions as Venus starts to approach Saturn.

From this standpoint, it might be something like, you know, I've always related to people with a certain pattern, and I'm now starting to realize, whoa, that just doesn't work. I have to do something different. Um, I may have been immature in some ways in my relationships; I think all of us, in some way, relate in a childish manner in our relationships as we're growing because sometimes there are parts of us that just haven't been healed in that way. So, do we look at it weird, or do I have to make more mature decisions in my relationships?

Where is it time to really feel like a grown-up in my relational style? And sometimes what Saturn does is it puts up a roadblock where you can feel when Saturn, you know, there's a Saturn archetype activated, there's a roadblock. And one of the questions I always encourage my clients to ask is, why is that there? What is it about? What's the transit asking of you? And with Saturn, a lot of times, it's something about making a mature decision. It's about growing up; it's about letting something go. And especially in Pisces, you know, Pisces is the very end of the Zodiac, and there's often wistful nostalgia in Pisces. And sometimes it can be a little bit like this, right? You know, I don't know why I keep seeing Amy Adams in my head when I'm thinking of this example. But I'm seeing Amy Adams. And at the end of the movie, she's looking at a photo album.

She's thinking about the past, and oh, it was wonderful. And then a little tear comes down her cheek, and she closes the photo album, she puts it on the table, she picks up her suitcase, and she goes out the door, and she starts some new chapter of her life, there's something that has to naturally end in order. Not only that, you just create a new beginning, but you free yourself from patterns or energetic ties that have held you in the past. That's a really nice way of thinking about this sort of thing. Oh my god, things are going to end; it's like the form may end, and the relational pattern may end. And usually, what it's asking for is some sort of growing up maturing those sorts of ideas. All right, let me check my list.

Number two hardships with Venusian ideas are hardships with relationships, sensuality, sexuality, money, and things we find pleasurable and beautiful. That can be one thing. But one thing that's really interesting about hardships is that this feeling of okay just comes along. It's just that we have this conceptualization sometimes. You know, it's like Saturn comes along, and it's just going to be hard. But I again ask yourself, what is this asking of me? What is it asking me to do in Pisces to return this? Maybe it's asking us to commit to something rare and beautiful. Venus in Pisces has a feeling of being sort of rarefied and on high, as well as a precious jewel. And I've seen this with people with Venus in pisces, particularly when Venus rules the ascendant.

So they're a Taurus or a Libra rising; they often have to work with boundaries with other people. And because people kind of want a piece of them in some way, or they like, there are even physical boundaries, like, you know, they'll put their hand on their shoulder, and they don't want that there's a feeling with Venus and Pisces, like, it's a beautiful jewel, and I have to sort of, maybe, you know, on a shadow side, I really need to possess it. But on the light side, it's like, I appreciate this beautiful, rare, precious thing that has come into my life. And there might be a sense of center of, I need to commit to that beautiful thing. I need to see what happens when I go all in, make good discernments as we do that, and check our choices as we do that. And checking our patterns, of course, is always our discernment.

But you know, when beautiful things come into our lives when rare things come into our lives, they're precious. They're so incredibly precious. And, you know, in Buddhism, one of the ideas I always love about impermanence, which always sounds like a bummer, right? Like, well, anything that begins comes to an end, for it always sounds like such a bummer. But impermanence really makes us value things. And we can recognize that every precious gift that we have, every precious gift in some way, is going to change.

You know, I've watched that in my nieces and nephews as they've gotten older; it was such a precious moment when they were a certain age, all of a sudden, oh my god, they're like, people, you know, and another go to college, like what's happening, you know, and when we can recognize, you know, that Saturn at work, the maturing the aging, the change, but each stage of whatever it is, whether it's a person, whether it's a beautiful thing we have, whether it's a beautiful or even just like a beautiful painting or whatever, at some point, all of that is going to move out of our lives in some way, shape, or form.

And it's going to change in some way, shape, or form. And there's a way where we can just be so present, and I'm so grateful. And I'm committing to being here with this beautiful thing because I realized how valuable and precious it is. And that, you know, I just really get the sense of that as I get older. And as I watch, you know, the young people in my family get older, I just really see that it's just like this is precious because they are going to go on with their own lives. And this is all going to change and be different.

So I'm going to really enjoy this time that I have with them, or I'm really going to enjoy the time I have with my partner right now, or I'm really going to enjoy the beautiful painting I just bought me all these things because they can be seen as rare and precious. And we really commit our attention to really commit our hearts to them. When appropriate. There can also be with Venus in pisces, a little bit of the shimmer and a little bit of the little bit of like the radiant light that might blind us. Sometimes, that is something to look out for.

But really thinking from this light of committing to the beautiful things, committing to the rare things in our lives can be so beautiful, in so many ways, really recognizing the impermanent Saturn represents even though we think of Saturn structure really represents the ending and change, and how that focuses us right into the present moment. I just want to be here for all of this, right?

Number three misconception blocks to love and pleasure. Sure, that can be true. People who have a strong relationship with Venus and Saturn in the chart often have a difficult time letting themselves have fun, or letting themselves enjoy things, or they feel guilty about enjoying things where they feel like, you know, that's frivolous. I shouldn't, you know, know that my enjoyment isn't valuable in some way, or I'm not allowed to think that there can be a lot of those ideas. But you know, if you think about a transit, not just being physical around you, but highlighting certain patterns, highlighting certain ways we think this can be with Venus and Pisces, particularly places we block, we unconsciously block, or we don't believe that pleasure sensuality. Beauty is something that is pure or spiritual enough.

And a lot of times with the Virgo Pisces axis, there's a lot of questions about purity, is it? Is it pure enough? Is it right enough if it is Pisces a little more spiritual purity and recognizing, you know, we might start to recognize during this transit if we start looking at our thought process, we look at the patterns that are happening around us, we look at you know, the inner healing work that we're doing. There might be something where we're like, wow, I have a pattern of believing that it's not okay for me to have something beautiful in my life, or love in relationships, or frivolous in some ways or, or believing that, you know, it's not spiritually pure to desire to have something beautiful or rare.

I'm just checking that now; it could absolutely be in your value system. That's something that you believe, and there's nothing wrong with it at all. But I think transits are a wonderful time for questioning. They're a wonderful time for highlighting. They're a wonderful time to look at and be curious. Professor Sagittarius here. What is this coming in? Why is this showing up for me? What's it asking me to do? What's it asking me the question? What's it asking me to do? What assumption is it asking me to question? Yeah, no. Okay. Beautiful things are being taken away. That's number four form is congested and beautiful things being taken away. You know, it's like I had it. Oh, my God, I got a ticket. Possibly. But here's something I've been thinking about lately, a lot in my own life. And I hope this is helpful as a turning of that idea. Instead of beautiful things being taken away, take responsibility for beautiful dreams.

So, Pisces, if there was ever a sign that was the dreamer, it's Pisces. If there was ever a sign of the imagination, it's Pisces if there was ever a sign of grand cosmic spiritual vision. It's Pisces and Venus in pisces beautiful grand cosmic visions, beautiful dreams, beautiful ethereal qualities. Saturn might say it's wonderful to dream. It's great to have all these beautiful ideas. I now take responsibility for them because they're important. And it can be very easy in Pisces to sort of leave things in the ether. And there are maybe there are some things that are supposed to stay in the ether, you know, but I think that Saturn comes along in transit like this or Venus approaches Saturn in Pisces, and Saturn, it says, you know, if you have a beautiful dream, take responsibility for it.

If you have something that you believe is going to bring beauty and grace, and a feeling of preciousness and shimmer and shine into the world, all kinds of Venus and Pisces ideas, by the way, are all you Venus in pisces just loving the way of describing it, you're so rare and precious and mysterious, but you know, but if you have something like that, take responsibility for it, bring it into the world concretize it in some way. You know, our dreams are wonderful when they're kind of floating around. But when it's possible in our lives to say, You know what, I'm going to take responsibility for that dream because that dream was handed to me.

That dream was given to me, a dream was put in my psyche, and it wasn't just put there to torture me with its unmanifested form; I can take responsibility for the things that are necessary to take that dream into being that's a very Saturn way of looking at this idea. If you're looking at Saturn, you know, the gateway of Saturn, and you know, from the ancient thought of Saturn being the, the boundary between the Oh my God, where are my words today, the boundary between the heavenly and the earthly, earthly realms.

Um, the set Saturn comes in towards us, and Saturn goes out away from us. And sometimes Saturn is bringing things into form. And sometimes Saturn is taking things out of form. This might be a time when I need to bring something beautiful into form and take responsibility for my dreams. My dreams are a precious gift that has been given to me, and I need to take responsibility for them and help them come into the world, being a midwife for them to come into the world. All right.

Now, the fifth misconception is false myths in relationships. Remember, Saturn rules opposition negation falses pretense. Again, that's a possibility. But let's turn it if we turn that the fifth misconception becomes being true to our relational values. This might be a little bit of a projection. But in my early life, I always got into trouble in relationships, whether they were friendships, especially romantic relationships, where I was when I didn't know, and I wasn't true to my relational values; I didn't know what was important to me. And I didn't know how to stay true to that. I stayed solid within the values I held for myself, which would allow me to come into congruence and compatibility with another person.

It took me many, many years, over ten years, to work to even get close to that and really settle on it. And I think that there can be with Venus in pisces, or Pisces in general, again, the dream, the desire to see something that maybe is or isn't there and the desire to even you know, conform reality to the dream, rather than taking the dream and conforming it to our values. And so sometimes, you know, how many of us have had the vision of how we thought a relationship should be, you know, we saw this person who said, Oh, they're the shimmering, rare thing, all that. And we're not compatible for whatever reason, or it's, you know, really not a good relationship for us.

But we try to conform ourselves because we are conforming ourselves to the dream we're holding in our mind, not necessarily to the reality that's in front of us. And so if we invert that and take it back inside of ourselves and say, Where am I not being true to my relational values? Or how can I be more true to my relationship? How can I hold to those? How can I be steadfast with them, not uncompromising on the things you need to compromise on in a relationship, like, you know, sometimes the peanut butter jar stays on the counter, but the big stuff, the big ticket items, and when we are congruent with ourselves, that's a very Saturn like, process, assuming there's really a feeling of I, maybe this is bringing short term inconveniences.

Like, for instance, you know, if you're dating, it's like, okay, so I'm meeting some people that I used to be able to sort of make myself think that would kind of work, but you realize now it's like nowadays, they're actually just not compatible when we're congruent inside of ourselves. We feel more stable inside of ourselves center. Then, we're able to draw the beautiful image and the beautiful dream through that set of values, and amazing things can manifest. So those are the lists my friends have. That is my list of Venus and Saturn in Pisces misconceptions.

In the comment below, you put other ones that you believe are out there. Um, I like to stand up for Saturn where I can. I have placed Saturn in my birth chart very strongly. And I do believe in the beautiful qualities that the planet brings us, and I've had some rocking Saturn transits over the years. I do find that Saturn asks us for congruence; Saturn asks us to put our money where our mouth is. Saturn may ask for it, especially with relationships. Take a look. Where are you not? Where are you being false to yourself? Where are you? Where are you not in congruence with your own values? What's important to you?

And I think with that there comes, you know, that's how we start to take responsibility for our dreams, how we take the amazing beauty of Venus and Pisces, the shimmering beauty of Venus in pisces. And we take it down into a concrete, actionable form and have responsibility for the beautiful things that we've been given, the beautiful gifts that we've been given. You know, I've cut myself lucky that I have so many of them to be grateful for, and that's something I'm really considering during this transit for myself, too. So I hope this was helpful, friends; I hope that it gave a different look at Venus and Saturn.

There are a lot of other angles we could have gone with, but these are the five that came to mind for me. I will be doing several other videos to check out while Adams is on vacation. I'm gonna be doing one on the or have done. I don't know when these are coming out, but I have done one on the equinox and also one on Mercury's retrograde in Aries in April, which is a pretty power-packed retrograde. So I hope you're all well; enjoy this transit. And I hope to see you soon.
