Venus Opposite Saturn

Oct 11, 2025

Saturn is in Pisces, and Venus opposes Saturn in Virgo today. 

These two connected together as a conjunction back in Jan 2023. Think back, had you met an older person, or started a financial investment, or long term relationship begin of some kind around then? Or were you taking steps moving forward as a new authority in some field you love? Or were you held back with a major restriction of some sort then? 

Here now is a time where things can be related back to then, an “illumination” on what those things were. How are they doing now? There can be a bit of knit picking, adjusting, improving or releasing of those things from back then, see them in a new light, or have conflict in such matters from what was started back then.

Furthermore we can bring light to the Venus and Saturn Archetypal energies in our lives in relation to the dynamic of what “opposition” can mean with those two in regards to themes of relationships with others, to ourselves, and with authority figures.

Here are some things that come to mind in this present day considering other planetary placements as well. These energies specifically run up to the New Moon Oct. 21st.

Assess, organize, fine-tune, and work to improve your long-term commitments.

Facing realities. A reality check regarding your finances, issues within a relationship or having to do with your beliefs or what you believe in.

Things you HAVE to take care of and not escape from, this can relate to having to do with a relationship, parent, authorities/government.

Obligations vs pleasure. Obligations before pleasure. “Working for the weekend” energy.

“Work hard, play hard” as they say.

Balance your checkbook. Remove noticed spending leaks. things you can't spend money on any more. Balance to temper your spending and pleasures, and the things that you really enjoy.  Limits and restrictions imposed and felt.

Themes of pleasure and pain. Combine them in a healthy way. 

Pleasurable restriction, builds sexual tension. Light consensual safe pain play in the bedroom heightens through trust and safety with another..

Safe Containment Themes

Think of inside a gated playground where kids are contained, feel safe to play and be left to themselves to enjoy playing as they please, yet, they are being carefully watched loosely by an adult in the distance. 

We all want to play, let loose and enjoy ourselves and with others. Heavy and very present restrictions and rules can hamper that or when used properly give an even more expansive feeling of safe freedom to be whimsical, to play, to create, to be an imaginative without adult intervention. This same energy theme is how a man can be in a partnered relationship with a woman ( or any relationship) where containment, safety and  allow for a partner to let go, release and play and be whimsical.

Feeling the need to be protected, cared for by a parent, father, father figure, or someone older than you. "Daddy" issues or conflicts in those kinds of relationships or themes or having an illuminating epiphany in regards to those energy themes can be felt in this time.

In addition, ever recognize how different a child plays when an adult is present? They become self-conscious, they want to impress you, they want your attention in some capacity. “Look ma, no hands!!” In this time bring some attention to if you are seeking such attention to another, an authority figure, your parent or father, lover or your society.

Safe containment can be an illusion. Or, do you really need that kind of space to do the things you really want to do? Begin to recognize your own inner self containment an,care and safety. Trust. Go play.

I think in America and some other places in the world. The presence of police, and now military troops, can give many of us the illusion that we are “safer.” Yet, that energy of might and fear and power presence adds a heavy element of restriction and possible violence becomes a feeling felt within people.

Polarity and tension with society, the rules, government, father, authorities, parent, parent, older traditions, traditional expectations and elder felt.

Self-Worth

Notice where you are with your self-worth in regards to getting, or feeling the need to get attention and validation from society, a parent, your father, from the masses. “I’m not good enough" or “They don’t care about me.” “I’m worthless.”

How much does my self-worth rely on outside sources? Think about the traditional forms in society that we are conditioned to get self-worth from. Our peers, our bosses, our partners, our parents, our teachers or anybody that is “above” us in a work dynamic or in government or authority. This can bring attention to “vertical” upper/lower relationship dynamics or anything that we feel restricts us. 

Self-worth lives more in the mind, Virgo, and we can put ourselves down and criticize ourselves and how we feel and think after getting these reflections and criticisms and judgements from the outside world. Pay attention to these themes in your life.

Feeling angry at the government or extreme government behavior or actions?

Take notice of what ways you may be projecting authority onto others. Someone else giving us the rules and the containment and the safety that we feel that we need to do the things we want. In what ways can remove a little bit of that? Accept and take responsibility for your own maturity and care. 

Loosen the tie.

We don't notice how tight or restrictive something is until it becomes uncomfortable. Loosen tight fitting clothing a little. Undo the tip button on you shirt. Untie the knot. Loosen your belt. Notice where and how you are being restricted and limited in life. Are those rules and limitations coming from society, your father, a parent, authority figures, government, OR are they self imposed limitations and rules that need to be loosened, removed or dealt with? What do you have control over? Are you being too hard on yourself in certain areas of your life? What kind of rules and restrictions that you have set up for yourself can be adjusted, loosened or removed?

Not only in what ways are you restricting yourself, or from outer sources, but in what ways are you or have you been restricting the relationships that you're in from growing and evolving in some capacity? Or there can be a moment that the reality of something or someone isn't what you expected? Or that it or they are not meeting up with your standards, or there are perfection idealist issues that need to be let go of. Or do you have a hard time accepting someone else's blemishes and imperfections? We tend to blame other people, or people blame us, when we're not meeting expectations of another. And those conversations or what’s felt as verbal attacks can be tense or heated, or felt like we are up against another.

Take it easy on yourself, on others and loosen up a bit. “Pull the stops,” and let your essence flow through with personal guidance and direction in ways that fulfill and move you. Free yourself from external expectations and attention and as they say,

“dance like no one is watching.”

Have a good Journey,
