Mercury forms a trine to Saturn this morning, but later today, a square to Neptune–very different energies.
The Mercury-Saturn trine spotlights the practical side of things as it supports work with details, realistic thinking, and step-by-step approaches to learning and communicating. This transit helps ground and center our thinking. Conversations may be spare but to the point or instructive. It’s an excellent time to assist others in understanding our perspective and a step-by-step approach to tasks and problems. We are cautious with our expectations, or at least we remind ourselves to be so.
However, as the day advances, we find it challenging to follow or clearly communicate facts, directions, and instructions. Perceptions may be confused or overly idealistic, influenced heavily by wishful thinking and imagination. We may be dealing with deception or self-deception, and it can be difficult to be discriminating. On the plus side, our minds are open to many different possibilities and options. The Leo Moon is creative, determined, and outgoing.

Uranus Conjunct Neptune Synastry, Relationships
Creativity, spirituality and aspirations play an extremely important role in the relationship of Uranus conjunct Neptune synastry. The traits of the radical Uranus and escapist Neptune make it quite difficult to achieve realism and practicality.
The Uranus conjunct Neptune creates some kind of intolerance between the two people in this aspect which does not have a logical reason or explanation. The Uranus conjunct Neptune is not easy to deal with and needs a certain bit of maturity and consciousness on both ends to neutralize the effects of the aspect and make the most out of it.
If both the people in the Uranus conjunct Neptune aspect are creative and work on creating something, then it may help them transform their creative ideas into something that can be seen. Both may do things and experience them together such as working on their spirituality, going on journeys, etc.
While these interests can help to bring them together; however, if the other aspects between the natal Uranus and Neptune are challenging, then the tension between the two is not likely to disappear. Both people in this aspect have heightened creativity and they may inspire each other.
Typically, the Uranus person is more inclined towards science and technology, while the Neptune person is more artistic and both display their creativity in their respective areas. Both of them influence one another to find different ways to express their creativity and usually approach things in a different and even awkward manner.
This aspect may be great for exploring visions, ideas and imagination; however, if you’re looking for stability or comfort, then the Uranus conjunct Neptune may not be the best.

In Astrology, Mars represents sex and aggression, while Neptune represents illusions, dreams, and fantasy. When your Mars aspects another person’s Neptune, or vice-versa, a romantic bond is indicated.
In the case of the conjunction, square, or opposition, fantasy and romance permeates your relationship. The Neptune person is likely to see the Mars person as a knight in shining armor or protector. Indeed, Neptune admires Mars’ decisiveness, assertiveness, and toughness. Even if the Mars person is none of these things, the Neptune person will idealize the Mars person as though they were courageous and brave.
This aspect also indicates a sexual connection. The two of you fulfill each other’s sexual fantasies, and may even become addicted to one another! The Neptune person longs to be dominated by the Mars person, and is not afraid to be vulnerable around the Mars person. The Mars person is pleased with this role, as he feels more powerful in the presence of the Neptune person. The Neptune person may even become envious of the Mars person’s power and sexual prowess.
Neptune is likely to be dependent on the Mars person, which may provoke Neptune to manipulate the Mars person out of fear of losing him. The Mars person’s strength and sexual attractiveness may make the Neptune person nervous, so she may display evasive or confusing behavior which may confuse or frustrate the Mars person. Or, the Neptune person may try to gain Mars’ sympathy by playing the victim. Neptune may even resort to deceit, or sexually “teasing” Mars to keep his attention. This can lead to much frustration on the part of the Mars person; Mars is direct and open, so Neptune’s evasiveness, deceit, and dishonesty could lead to conflict and frustration on the part of the Mars person.
. . .
Venus and Mars are the two most important planets in relationships, making this a complicated aspect.
The Myth of Venus and Mars states that Venus’ incredible looks and charms brought Mars to her, and Venus’ love finally tamed Mars’ bold and wild ways. Venus was the only one who could soften the rage and impulsive ways of Mars.
Venus-Mars combinations create attraction and chemistry, but also produce conflicts that can feel impossible to sort through. Yes, this synastry is complicated indeed.
In romantic relationships, the Venus opposite Mars synastry creates physical chemistry and creates misunderstandings and communication issues.
A romantic Venus Opposite Mars Synastry has a profound physical attraction based on their initial biological interest and connection at the start of their relationship. This couple will feel an immediate pull to one another and an intense sense of attraction, even if one or both of them just ended a long-term relationship.
Make no mistake though, this is not a shallow relationship and can last a lifetime if the couple is willing to listen and make sacrifices for one another.
Venus Opposition Mars Synastry
Oppositions are not necessarily wrong or ‘bad’; in fact, they can be a source of opportunity and growth.
Venus is the emotional, giving, and peaceful partner whereas Mars is physical, receiving, and impulsive. Venus is submissive; Mars is dominant.
If the woman is Venus and the man is Mars, their relationship will follow traditional gender roles; if the woman is Mars and the man is Venus, their relationship will have to break outside the mold and follow the exact opposite of traditional gender roles.
Couples with a Venus Opposite Mars Synastry have a strong yet rollercoaster relationship with a lot of romantic and sexual attraction. Desire is never lacking in this relationship.
While these lovers have a strong bond, they often feel that their relationship is unstable- thus adding to their emotional rollercoaster.
If this relationship hits a rough patch, one or both lovers may feel compelled to become possessive, envious, or competitive with outsiders.
If this opposition becomes too intense and polarizing, even the romantic and sexual aspects of their relationship will eventually become the opposite, pushing the couple to a breaking point and at warp speed.
Even if this couple does separate, they will always spend a lifetime longing for that physical and sexual connection with one another.
Examples Of The Ways That Venus And Mars Clash
The Venus lover often doesn’t react to Mars’ initiations the way Mars anticipates and hopes for; this is a classic miscommunication issue.
The best way to sum up all of Mars’ and Venus’ relationship issues is this: each lover has a different approach to intimacy, and each lover speaks a foreign language when it comes to love. Communication issues exacerbate this problem.
Possessiveness is an obstacle that both lovers will have to work hard to overcome; however, the needier Venus lover is even more susceptible to developing jealous feelings over their partner.
The Venus lover will often perceive the Mars lover as inconsiderate, too direct, or even aggressive. As a result, Venus may feel that the Mars lover is only interested in them on a sexual level– not romantically. This is not true. However, this is how Venus perceives Mars’ actions and this will cause a strain in their relationship at times.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Venus lover may become too sensitive or introverted for the Mars person’s liking. Mars may also perceive Venus to be seductive, but lacking any actual substance. Venus craves a subtle and quiet finesse-style way of communication, while Mars desires a direct, blunt, and sometimes loud form of communication.
Mars loves to pursue their partner, and Venus’ submissive, responsive, and pleasing ways can hinder Mars’ desired relationship dynamic. Again, this is a communication issue. Mars and Venus have to discuss their needs and take turns making small sacrifices for one another.
While both people feel overwhelming sexual energy, they may feel it’s difficult to draw up this energy and attraction and use it to its full potential. This is frustrating for both lovers, usually impacting the Mars individual more, and can be devastating for the couple if they don’t talk about their thoughts and emotions.
Because of this, the timing between Mars and Venus is frequently off. Each lover has different wants and needs, and communication is difficult for each person. This couple may not even realize how much they desire the other until their relationship is put in jeopardy or even ends.
This couple is definitely susceptible to breaking up and getting back together over and over.
Ways That Mars And Venus Help Each Other Grow
Mars is a masculine force, while Venus is a feminine one. Their opposites can combine to create a delicious mixture. These two lovers have the opportunity to help themselves, and each other grow exponentially.
Mars’ courage and ambition are seen as adventurous and appealing to Venus. And Venus’ gentleness, seductive ways, and sense of peace can feel like a safe harbor in a stormy sea to Mars.
Mars will pull Venus out of their shell, encourage them to pursue their dreams, become more spontaneous, and leave their comfort zone. Mars will also prevent Venus from falling into a stagnant, boring routine. Venus is also prone to self-indulgence, which Mars balances out.
Venus’ inherent character flaw is that they can quickly become too confident, lack focus, lack motivation, and procrastinate instead of focusing on their needs and goals. Mars has an overwhelming amount of motivation and voices its opinions freely, which is enormously beneficial to helping their partner Venus stay on track.
Mars can be too focused, on the other hand, and Venus excels at liberating Mars from their serious endeavours. Venus is also a soft, gentle soul for Mars to lean on.
Venus also helps Mars balance their life between work and play. Venus will sand down Mars’ dangerously sharp edges and bring a sense of harmony to Mars that Mars had otherwise never experienced. Venus will also help Mars rekindle old relationships that Mars’ intense and fiery behaviour may have pushed away in the past.
How Venus And Mars Can Make Their Relationship Work
There are many redeeming qualities about a Venus Opposite Mars Synastry, and that is how the couple mirrors one another. Each person represents something profound to their partner, and this is because their approaches to intimacy are almost entirely opposite.
Each person will have to recognize, confront, and find healthy ways to deal with the insecurities that lead to their jealousy.
If the couple can recognize this mirroring, they will bond more vigorously than ever and finally explain their desires to the other effectively. This change will bring about compromise and another level of love, romance, and sex for their relationship.
Compromise for this couple will require them to release preconceived notions and sometimes let go of stereotypical gender roles. They must shut out what the outside world wants and focus inward on what is best for their relationship.
Communication and compromise are indeed the keys to this complicated relationship’s success. Self-awareness is also a crucial aspect.
Man’s Venus Opposite Woman’s Mars Relationship
The woman is more likely to take the initiative, and the man is expected to appreciate this. However, this relationship can also result in conflicts between the two lovers because he finds her strength attractive. Still, at the same time, he has trouble relaxing and accepting these feelings.
From the outside, the conflict may be created by gender roles; it is not. He is receptive, and she is active.
When the couple can relax and accept this balance, they find harmony and can grow together. When one of them resists it, the relationship can feel uncomfortable.
Woman’s Venus Opposite Man’s Mars Relationship
This scenario is the opposite of the Man’s Venus opposite Woman’s Mars relationship, except with the gender roles reversed.
The woman finds her man’s initiative attractive, but she is likely to feel uncomfortable letting him take the lead. This combination will exaggerate stereotypical gender differences, so unlike the previous couple, they can take solace and find understanding through outside support.
This dynamic can be uncomfortable for the couple at times, but it allows them to grow and learn together.

Venus-Chiron Aspects In The Synastry Chart
Venus rules love, money, appearances, and in the synastry chart, how one loves. Meanwhile, Chiron is the doorway to one’s deepest wounds and insecurities. So in synastry, these two planets in aspect often indicate pain in love, yet there is also the potential for healing.
Most Venus-Chiron synastry aspects trigger wounds of love for the Chiron person. This means that they will be faced with all the ways they did not receive adequate love as a child and the impact of that absence.
Venus-Chiron aspects also revolve around value, particularly of the self. The Chiron person might struggle to see themselves as valuable, yet they have an opportunity through this synastry aspect to learn what they can value about themselves.
For the Chiron individual, Venus will touch on the pain that they already hold, either from childhood or from previous relationships. This can be immensely triggering for the Chiron individual but offers them an opportunity to heal this long-held pain.
Many astrologers believe that Venus-Chiron aspects are extremely common in the charts of married couples. While I sometimes see these aspects appear for married partners, this is definitely not always the case. In my experience, these aspects can be incredibly painful or healing but don’t necessarily indicate whether or not a relationship will be a success. Much of the outcome will depend on how much work the Chiron person has done and how willing they are to confront their own insecurities.
Venus Opposition Chiron Synastry
The Venus opposition Chiron synastry aspect indicates that the Venus person will trigger the Chiron person’s wound, again and again. Typically, the way that the Venus person expresses love or how they conduct relationships is what triggers the wound.
However, there may be other “Venusian” qualities that trigger Chiron, such as how much money Venus makes or how they express beauty. Regardless, something about the way that the Venus individual expresses these qualities brings out all of the worst insecurities in Chiron.
Chiron is usually seeing the shadow self in Venus, or who they wish they were. Venus reminds them of the qualities that they feel they lack, which makes them believe that they do not have value. Even if Chiron does not consciously realize this, they are likely to act out due to these unconscious emotions.
In a romantic relationship, the Venus opposition Chiron synastry aspect is difficult to overcome unless the Chiron individual is ready to do some serious emotional work.
Sometimes, Venus opposition Chiron synastry actually means that the Chiron person is triggered by who the Venus person chooses to love. This is more apparent in a friendship, and may not even be activated until the Venus person enters into a romantic relationship; the energy of this relationship changes what Venus and Chiron have together. This is not always the case but is certainly a possibility.
This aspect can also be a bit competitive in some ways. Chiron may feel that they always have to measure up to Venus or compete with what Venus does, looks like, or the possessions that Venus has.
There are many ways that the Venus opposition Chiron synastry aspect can trigger the Chiron individual, and all of them are Venusian. The most important thing to realize is that Chiron is essentially seeing in Venus what they feel they lack. It’s not OK with them to lack this but makes them feel that they lack value overall.
While the Venus opposition Chiron synastry aspect is quite difficult emotionally, it’s also a good chance for the Chiron individual to confront that shadow and to learn how to be OK exactly as they are.

When Chiron is aspecting Neptune, the nature of the placements can be used as a meditation path for attunement to that which is right within us at all times, to the divine. It is impossible for us to have access to the divine without also being in service of the divine. The sixth and twelfth houses show the way to compassion and letting go of the small self, which is contained in the ego. The house placement, sign, and nature of influence from Neptune to Chiron is a key to the way to find the funnel to the divine, to Neptune, in a given incarnation. As we go into aspects between Chiron and Neptune, ways to locate Neptunian ecstasy in consciousness are possible in relation to Chiron.
