People notice you take relationships seriously, maybe more seriously than they expect. Your Venus square Saturn means you approach love with a careful, methodical mindset that can sometimes feel heavy to others who want things light and breezy. You have this internal critic that whispers doubts about whether you're worthy of affection or if that person really means what they say. The upside is you don't mess around with shallow connections or waste time on people who aren't genuinely interested in building something real with you.
Your standards for love and friendship run deep because this aspect taught you early that good things require effort and patience. You might hold back your affection until you feel completely safe, which can frustrate people who want immediate warmth from you. But when you do open up, you bring a loyalty and steadiness that most people only dream of finding. You understand that the best relationships are built slowly, with intention, and your Saturn influence helps you create partnerships that actually last while others are still figuring out what they want.
You've got transiting Venus squaring Saturn right now, and it's like having your fun-loving friend trying to plan a party while your strict parent keeps pointing out everything that could go wrong. Venus wants to enjoy life and connect with people, but Saturn keeps showing up with reality checks and budget spreadsheets. Your relationships might feel a bit more serious than usual, and that person you're dating could seem less affectionate or more focused on practical matters than romance.
Money conversations are probably happening whether you want them or not, and you might find yourself saying no to things you'd normally splurge on. The good news is that Saturn's tough love actually helps you build something solid, even if it doesn't feel great in the moment. This is perfect timing to figure out what you truly value in relationships and where you've been a little too loose with your boundaries or your wallet. Think of it as Venus getting a financial advisor who happens to know a lot about healthy relationship standards too.
