Saturday, JUNE 11
Venus aligns with Uranus in the sign of Taurus today, and the need to express ourselves freely and openly comes on strongly. It’s a time when we go a little off-script socially. Whether we’re aware of this or not, we’re itching for a change! Connecting with this desire can help us steer and navigate better. For the time being, we value stimulation and newness over permanence. We lose our fear of taking risks in love, with pleasure, and in social situations. There can be infatuations, whims, gossip, and unexpected opportunities socially or financially. We have a greater need for self-expression, personal freedom, and social excitement. This influence encourages us to let go of rigidity.
Still, the Moon transits Scorpio all day, awakening a need to tap into our passions and desires. This Moon opposes Venus and Uranus in Taurus tonight, and we can feel torn between stubbornly resisting change and embracing it.

I’m planning on looking more closely at the natal placement of the asteroid Juno in Koand’s chart on tonight’s stream. The houses may be incorrect as I do not have a verified birth time. I’m attaching my chart and Napoleon’s for comparison.

What is Juno?
Juno (English: /ˈdʒuːnoʊ/ JOO-noh; Latin Iūnō[ˈjuːnoː]) was an ancient Roman goddess, the protector and special counsellor of the state. She was equated to Hera, queen of the gods in Greek mythology. A daughter of Saturn, she was the wife of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Vulcan, Bellona and Juventas. Like Hera, her sacred animal was the peacock.[1] Her Etruscan counterpart was Uni, and she was said to also watch over the women of Rome.[2] As the patron goddess of Rome and the Roman Empire, Juno was called Regina ("Queen") and was a member of the Capitoline Triad (Juno Capitolina), centered on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, and also including Jupiter, and Minerva, goddess of wisdom.

What is Juno in astrology? The following is shared from cafeastrology.com
The asteroid Juno was the third discovered asteroid or minor planet found between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. Juno is considered one of the four major asteroids.
The Roman goddess, Juno, was the protector and counselor of the state who held watch over women. The Greek goddess counterpart was Hera, although Juno and Hera didn’t have equivalent roles.
In astrology, Juno represents:
commitment,
marriage,
betrayal,
give-and-take in partnerships,
the partnership itself (where it involves the effort to balance the power between two people),
infidelity,
fairness,
and compromise.
Juno is enraged by inequalities and shows us, through its position in our charts, where we seek to make things balanced, fair, and right. She counsels, alerts, advises, and warns.
Juno has definite shades of Pluto, Venus/Scorpio, and Libra energy. We’re triggered where Juno is in our charts, but it’s also a place of potential power and empowerment. Juno was a woman scorned, and issues of balance of power, infidelity, and betrayal are some associations. She was fiercely loyal but stayed in an unhappy marriage.
Look to Vesta for devotion or commitment to a person or cause, but look to Juno for clues as to how we make the most of our connections. Juno tells us in what way or in which area we are deeply bothered if we’re not treated with respect and fairness.
Most notably, Juno is the master of multi-tasking. She does so very many things well, and people with Juno strong in their charts are similar. She’s connected to marriage and union, in general, but she is complicated, powerful, and political–she is not only defined by her partnerships, even if she’s skilled at balancing and moderating them.

Koand has Juno in Virgo
Juno in Virgo: It bothers you greatly if people assume you’re not doing your fair share since you always go over the top and do more than you have to. You are a master multi-tasker. People minimizing what you do, your work, your job, intelligence, or attention to detail can drive you absolutely up the wall, more so than most. It can be immensely challenging for you to shake off criticism, but it’s best if you do your best not to dwell on it.
. . .
My Juno is almost on the cusp between Sagittarius and Capricorn:
Juno in Sagittarius: You’re most bothered if others fence you in or don’t acknowledge your opinions as excellent ones. You demand respect for your ideas and beliefs. You can become especially and perhaps unduly upset when others are not letting you have your say. You seek a partner who respects your opinions and gives you the floor to express yourself as you please.
Juno in Capricorn: You’re most bothered by people who don’t show you respect for what you do, your accomplishments, and what you’ve achieved. You don’t much like losing face. You want others to see you as accomplished and competent, and it can be very frustrating when people treat you otherwise. A partner should fully respect your need for order, boundaries, and accountability. You are very responsible and become especially frustrated if others question your honor.
. . .
Napoleon’s Juno was in Pisces:
Juno in Pisces: In your relationships, you value maintaining some level of mystery or privacy around one another, giving others space and room to come to conclusions. Perhaps more than anything you hate it when people attempt to box you in, pin you down, demand that you define or quantify your feelings, or require that you follow a script. A partner or close friend who prefers well-defined boundaries and resists merging can frustrate you.

How to Read Juno Astrology in the Chart
Juno astrology can be very straightforward: you’re looking for the better qualities of that sign in your long-term relationship and in your partner. These qualities will be especially important to you in the house that your Juno falls.
Juno shows the flavor that you need your relationship to take on. Juno in Capricorn in the 6th house means you need a relationship that has structure, especially in everyday life. You also need someone who is self-motivated in career.
Juno in Pisces in the 3rd house, however, means that you need someone extremely creative and dreamy, especially in the way they communicate. You may develop a relationship that is based on reading each other’s feelings as a method of communication instead of using blunt, harsh words.
Note that Juno in the natal chart is not what you actually attract, especially if there is a square between Juno and Venus/Mars (in which case you would attract and be attracted to the opposite of what you actually need). Sometimes, it’s very hard to find someone who is compatible with your Juno sign, so it’s a great asteroid to learn more about if you struggle to find your ideal long-term relationship.
Juno can signify the type of partner you want, the type of relationship you need, how you’ll act in a long-term relationship, or (most often) all three.
To begin, you can simply look at what sign and house Juno is in. As you become more advanced with the asteroid, you can start reading the aspects to figure out what areas will come easily and what areas will be more difficult in relationships.
If you’re not sure what your Juno astrology is, keep reading – I linked my favorite Juno sign calculator below.
Juno Astrology Sign Calculator:
If you aren’t sure what Juno is in your natal chart, you need to start with a Juno sign calculator to figure it out. Many free astrology chart sites don’t include Juno because it’s a newer asteroid, so you either need to purchase heavy duty software or use a free specific Juno sign calculator.
If you are interested in purchasing software, I recommend iPhemeris for Mac or Matrix for windows.
This is a great free Juno sign calculator to use if you need to find your Juno sign in the natal chart.

Juno In Virgo:
The Juno in Virgo relationship is one of the most stable day-to-day. It’s a very practical relationship that functions by giving to the other in a selfless manner. It can also have to do with daily tasks, routines, and simple expressions of love such as doing the dishes.
Practicality is the name of the game in the Virgo Juno relationship. You will show love through tangible means, and while your other signs might make you want grand romantic gestures, it is the little things that will really fulfill you in a long-term relationship. The Juno in Virgo relationship is always about the truth. Neither partner needs extra fluff, because they are focused on finding and explaining the truth to each other at all times.
If you have Juno in Virgo, you will need someone who notices and appreciates all of the small qualities that make you who you are. They will need to remind you that you’re perfect every day, and love everything about you, even your imperfections.
With Juno in Virgo, you also need a partner who can balance you out. A relationship that becomes volatile or emotional won’t work well for you; slow and steady wins the race with Juno in Virgo.
When Juno is afflicted, one or both of the partners can be too critical, especially in the area of the house Juno is in. Either partner can also be a workaholic, or have some kind of intense OCD.
At its best, a Juno in Virgo relationship is grounded, truthful without becoming critical, and safe. These partners have the potential to become very spiritual, especially through connection with Mother Earth.
Juno In Sagittarius:
The main element of the Juno in Sagittarius relationship will be freedom. If you have Juno in Sagittarius, then you probably want to have your own interests and won’t care if your partner has their own. You understand that you have different things you need to complete during this lifetime, but you want to do it side-by-side.
Sometimes, the Juno in Sagittarius relationship can be quite spiritual, philosophical, or religious. Look to the house as this will determine the area where the couple both needs freedom and loves to explore. The partner may also be a foreigner or take frequent trips. You will probably want to travel with your partner and try new things; you love to be impressed by new situations. You are probably fun-loving and need a partner who is open to this side of you.
You will need someone who challenges you intellectually. This person will push beyond their own childhood limitations or trauma, and will encourage you to do the same. Above all, they will inspire you to follow your dreams, and will often spend their whole life following their own, no matter how large they are. Often, the Juno person needs a Sagittarius-like partner to help break oppression, whether from religion, culture, society, or self-imposed.
I find that Juno in Sagittarius people usually choose partners who come from a different cultural background or even from a different state or country. Sagittarius can speak to travel, so it’s pretty common for a person with Juno in Sagittarius to end up with a foreigner in some sense.
Badly aspected, one person may be unwilling to commit or simply have a difficult time opening up emotionally. This can sometimes lead to a relationship that is very separate, in which each partner leading opposite, disconnected lives.
The key is for those with Juno in Sagittarius to remain emotionally connected through spiritual, intellectual, and philosophical communication without interfering too much in each other’s lives. I picture the Juno in Sagittarius relationship as two railroad tracks heading in the same direction, side by side but separate.
Juno In Capricorn:
The Juno in Capricorn relationship is one of the most traditional. If you have this placement, you will look for structure, stability, and reliability. You will want a partner who works hard and plays by the rules of your relationship. This can simply be the flavor of the relationship, or one person may attract an older partner who is authoritarian in nature.
The relationship will flourish when both partners are dutiful and loyal to each other. Those with Juno in Capricorn look for actions over words and see these actions as a form of love. You need a strong commitment that shows itself over time. You don’t mind putting in hard work, but you expect your partner to do the same.
Ultimately, this relationship flourishes when both partners have goals and help each other achieve them. What excites you to stay in this relationship is consistent forward motion, often with a monetary influence. Look to the house that Juno in Capricorn sits in; this is the area that you’ll need the most structure in the relationship.
When afflicted, the partner may be extremely cold or rigid, or adhere too strongly to traditional roles, to the detriment of the individual self. One or both of the partners can be obsessed with public image.
I personally have Juno in Capricorn (as do many of my peers) so I can speak to this one quite well. It’s certainly easy to fall into the trap of becoming a “traditional” couple or prioritizing the rules of the relationship over connection. Ideally, the Juno in Capricorn relationship is full of emotional warmth but still has set ground-rules that each partner willingly follows and structure that works for both parties.
Juno In Pisces:
If you have Juno in Pisces, you will need a sensitive, caring, romantic relationship to feel content. You want to feel unconditional love from your partner and will probably try to give it back. You want someone who can be emotionally vulnerable, and will feel extremely trapped without complete openness.
There may be almost a psychic element to the relationship. Ideally, you will understand each other on such a soul level that you can communicate without words. You need someone who always sees the good in others, is always optimistic, and continues to remind you that we are all connected.
When afflicted, the Juno in Pisces person may project their idea of love onto their partner and end up with someone who does not actually have these qualities. They may also end up over-sacrificing or, on the flip side, playing the victim to the extreme. They may have a mental illness or addiction or attract a partner who has one or both. This can be a very up and down relationship if afflicted.

I have Juno in the 9th house:
Juno In The 9th House:
Juno in the 9th house can mean one of two things.
In the first scenario, you will attract a partner who loves traveling, meeting new people, or trying new things. They might be from another culture or country.
Juno in the 9th house, in this scenario, causes you to desire a partner who keeps things interesting and fresh. You want to continuously expand your view of the world; your hope is that your partner will facilitate these experiences.
Alternatively, you attract partners who help you deepen your knowledge of the Universe. You are always searching for the truth and thinking about philosophical topics. With Juno in the 9th house, you want a partner who is also interested in these things and who can deepen your own viewpoints.
. . .
Napoleon’s Juno was in the 4th house:
Juno In The 4th House:
With Juno in the 4th house, you desire a partner who is caring and affectionate. You need someone you can lean on; this person should be strong, both mentally and emotionally.
Sometimes, you might even model your relationships after your childhood in some way. Juno in the 4th house means that you can try to emulate aspects of your parents’ relationship, or you may instead try to “get” the things you lacked in childhood.
You want to share your most private self and deepest memories with your partner. Your ideal relationship is fulfilling and emotional. You may even want someone who will “mother” you when you’re struggling with your emotions.
You ultimately want someone to build a nest with you. Be careful with Juno in the 4th house that you don’t mesh too much with your partner; work to keep your own emotions separate instead of putting everything on your partner.
