Individuals holding Venus opposite of Saturn in this chart have the impression that the fault lies with them. They are responsible for the sorry state they are in.

An emphasis is placed on this dreadful feeling by the negligence proven by those that should have been close to them.

This influence can be caused by people who have an important role in their lives: a lack of attention and love from their parents or the opposite, mistreatment and violence.

Other people that they hold in high regard can also cause quite a negative impact on their emotional state if they become judgmental of their every deed.

Due to this, from an early age, this person may have the impression that they do not suffice or reach the global standards, as such they feel they are worthy of such negative emotions, treating it like punishment.

If Venus is opposite of Saturn in a person’s Natal chart, they are prone to jumping from job to job, being unsatisfied either by the paycheck or by the job itself.

Even in different circumstances, happiness comes hard to these people due to their past. Their folks often provide conditions that are lacking in both the financial and emotional departments.

This instills insecurity and a fear of dismissal in them which in turn makes it hard for this person to involve themselves in any deep and meaningful bonds or commitments such as marriage or even relationships.

Sometimes they might even avoid the subject altogether. They might rarely risk it and put their time in a long-lasting relationship, but this usually happens with partners that are found wanting, either because of their negative demeanor or because the engagement was for material needs from the start.

Matters involving feelings and affection are usually problematic and forced at best with these people. As such, emotional relations will instead provide exasperation and irritation instead of fulfillment.

It is advised that they learn how to care for themselves and feel deserving of appreciation and affection before caring and loving others. When these people have an unfavorable placement of Saturn in their birth chart, they tend to feel that responsibility comes hand in hand with affection.

They also have a hard time in any sort of social engagement due to their insecurities and inability to properly express themselves.

Sometimes, because of their emotional disabilities, with their cold state of mind, these people will treat bonds and people with selfish interest rather than kind, unconditional thoughts and feelings and will often manipulate those close to them to achieve what they want.

While changing for the best will be difficult, it is not impossible. With hard work, in time, these people will notice a change in their feelings and behavior towards the better.

Taking their duties seriously and being diligent is the correct path to take that will lead them toward a happier, more fulfilling life. It will take time, but it will be worth the while.

The things important to you are the people surrounding you along with the span of the bonds you create which can sadly be seen as a duty to be upheld rather than something you ought to enjoy.

Ignoring the obvious issues that have been going on can only bring forth more disaster. Realizing they exist and working towards solving them is paramount. Relaxing and enjoying life will be of great help in this situation.
