Composite Chart: Venus - Saturn Aspects

When composite Venus is conjunct composite Saturn:

Although it might not be apparent at first, this is a serious relationship that can't be taken lightly. Your love relationship will, at some point, seem to need definition and structure, including the roles you play. Awareness of responsibilities to one another is present, and this can be a strength as well as a weakness. If one or both of you feel that the relationship is too heavy or burdensome, you might seek satisfaction and "play time" elsewhere. It's all too easy for displays of affection, or even love itself, to reduce over time. It can get to a point where you feel self-conscious expressing romantic feelings, or inhibited in sexual expression. A theme of restricting yourselves or one another when it comes to spending, vacationing, or leisurely activities can also be present. This might feel more like a business partnership rather than a romantic relationship. Your love and/or commitment to one another might withstand the test of time, and endure through difficult circumstances.

When composite Venus is square or in opposition to composite Saturn:

Roadblocks to your relationship are notable with the hard aspects between Venus and Saturn in the composite chart, whether they are finalizing plans to be together or frequent problems/burdens that seem to keep you separated or living together but frustrated. While this may not be immediately obvious, displays of affection and intimacy between you tend to be strained, forced, or otherwise unnatural, self-conscious, and lacking in spontaneity. Fear of rejection is the reason for holding back, as there is a feeling that you can't be loose and open with one another without some level of disapproval or confusion. You might argue over money and possessions, as well as personal values, and either of you might attempt to limit the other person's spending or leisurely activities. Jealousy or fear of losing one another can lead you to attempt to limit your partner's enjoyment of life beyond your own interactions. You will both need to be aware of criticizing or limiting one another, or any romantic innocence that you once shared will leave quickly, and the relationship will feel more like a business agreement than a romantic partnership.

When composite Venus is sextile or trine composite Saturn:

This is a strong aspect for steadfastness, loyalty to the commitment of your partnership (not necessarily to one another), longevity, and the ability to take relationship problems and responsibilities in stride. In many ways, you as a couple follow the "rules" of tradition, and you approach your relationship (as well as spending) realistically. You are likely cautious with money and you don't overindulge in pleasures such as vacations unless you are certain all of your bills are paid. Others see you as a responsible couple. Yours may not be the most passionate or expressive of unions, but it is something you can count on.

When composite Venus is quincunx composite Saturn:

Sample from the Romantic Compatibility report: Caution, restraint, fear of disappointing or being disappointed, and periodic feelings of distance and withdrawal will characterize your relationship. Inevitably, something will come between you, be it other commitments and obligations, outside circumstances, or your own needs to be apart from time to time. Sexual inhibitions or an emotional fear of closeness also limits what you are willing to express with one another. If other indications and aspects of your relationship are positive and fulfilling, you may be able to overcome these insecurities. But without any doubt, it will take some committed effort!
