Juno is one of four asteroids (amongst hundreds) now used by many Western astrologers to cover territory beyond what the planets represent. These four asteroids have been given names of goddesses and Juno, or Hera, was the wife of Zeus (or Jupiter). The goddess Juno was devoted to the cause of Marriage but she was also married to a powerful and philandering god who betrayed her often. Rather than punish her husband and destroy their marriage, Juno unleashed her revenge on the endless chain of Zeus' other women. Juno was a very powerful goddess.

I understand astrological Juno as a way to examine compatibility between lovers and their differing betrayal differs. In the natal chart Juno can be a strong indication of the Internal Marriage of what you are already married to, what conditions must be maintained for that marriage to continue and the kind of betrayal you feel when these conditions are violated.

Natal Juno also acts as a kind of template, or prototype, for the kind of external marriage (or long-term relationship) that we are capable of, given that the conditions of our internal marriage are met and not betrayed by the partner or the relationship structure itself. Each and every marriage has its own specific conditions for continuing over time. These conditions are signified by the sign and house placement of natal Juno.

For example, if you have Juno in Taurus or the 2nd House, you are probably married to your values and material security. Successful marriage to someone else depends on finding a partner who acknowledges your values and your worth and with whom you can build a relationship that preserves the inner marriage to your worth. When your values are ignored or violated (by you and/or your lover), a sense of betrayal can detabilize the external marriage.

Everybody's married to something. Some people are married to their families, others are married to their work, while some of us are married to ourselves. If you can find an Asteroid Ephemeris (there's one in the back of Demetra George's wonderful book, ASTEROID GODDESSES), look up Juno and see what you're married to.

My Juno is in Aquarius conjunct North Node in 3rd House.
I am married to my "calling" which is a life-long process of acting as a translator, or messenger, of spiritual experience (9th House South Node) into a language that people can understand. An example is what you are reading right now. I am married to my cause of communicating what I know to you. My feelings of betrayal in longterm relationships can rise when my real-life wife fails to realize how important communication really is to me. This betrayal is usually healed right after honest communication is restored.

  • TYPO and CORRECTION

    The following paragraph is rewritten for clarity:

    *I understand natal Juno as a way to examine compatibility between lovers, their differing betrayal issues that can sabotage the relationship and how that can be healed. In the natal chart Juno can be a strong indication of the Internal Marriage of what you are already married to, what conditions must be maintained for that marriage to continue and the kind of betrayal you feel when these conditions are violated. It also indicates how healing can occur after the conditions of the internal marriage are restored.*
  • There is a theory that juno represents noncommited relationship.
    You can find a thesis with examples on this page.

      unfortunately, i don't know how to interpret my juno b/c of lack of resources? are there any out there to interpret the sign and house placement of juno? i believe my juno is in the 8th house in the sign of virgo and making a square to neptune...........am i married to death, rebirth and transformation through an analytical approach? or am i just all off on this post? : ) peace! breath
      • Hi, Breath,

        One site that walks you through Juno by sign and house is www.bobmarksastrologer.com/Juno21.3.html

        This site will give you famous people with Juno in the same house as yourself, and another page on the site will give you similar listings by Juno's sign: www.astrotheme.fr/en/celebr...aisons.htm

          • Juno at 23d Capricorn in the 3rd house.

            I the need to work and complete tasks with partners . . . that I need earthbound partners to fulfill my own goals (no earth planets in my chart, only Juno and Chiron.

            I feel most betrayed by my partners' failures to communicate (I don't think that I'm lacking in that department w/ moon/venus conjunct ,also in my 3rd house, as well as Sun/Mercury combust in my 4th). It's usually any little communications failure by a partner that threatens my trust/security in any type of marriage.

            My oldest daughter and one of my most relevant ex-wives have their Suns at 23d Cap. My deepest partnership (and most hurtful sense of betrayal) involved a woman with Sun at 23d Virgo. And I've had several other significant partnerships with Capricorn Sun women (not conjunct my Juno by degree).

            So, thanks for guiding me to notice this factor, Sherpa. It really strikes a chord.
            • ooh!!!
              my Virgo super lover/partner's Juno sits exactly on my Saturn (in libra on my 12th house cusp) which exactly opposes my Jupiter. There are numerous other aspects as well as factors in our composite chart that indicate why I'm refusing to give up long term hope for this relationship, and this Juno placement definitely adds another confirmirmation to the depth of my feelings of commitment to what others might see as a finished relationship.
              take another deep breath, steve.
        • JUNO: Make way for a practical kind of love

          Sun, February 5, 2006 - 12:09 PM
          Thanks for this post, it's interesting. and news to me. The added web link on Juno also:

          "The 7th house tells us the kind of person our first marriage partner will be (and the 9th house describes our 2nd marriage partner, if any). Juno works on a more fundamental level. "

          My Juno is in first house in Capricorn.
          The only planet in this Hemisphere of my chart is Mars (3rd house), and there are asteroids here too.

          Looks like an angle Juno Cap/1st to Mars Pisces/3rd...
          trine moon Virgo/9th,
          somesomething to Sun Gemini /6th
          square to Mercury Gemini/6th

          If I was looking to my past, I would say:

          I've fought marriage to which I did succumb
          And in mental conflicts… have I won?
          pluto/uranus/Jup Leo/8th, I’m great
          Vast Unknown delivering jolts not seconds too late
          Slate knocked clean, its more evolved fun.



          So more fundamental, now?
          One can only hope.

          Through my recent research oriented towards located the man for me… Cap sun/moon/mercury, though don't know the Juno just yet. It's very harmonious, emotionally.
          I've pre-determined I'll never get bored, and there's lots more to it.

          Betrayal has been ? more around (my) bruised ego and sense of loyalty, deep issues of freedom, and I've always had a difficult time in relationship with men that hated their jobs, or didn't have jobs/careers.
  • I have Juno at 27 Scorpio 27 R, sitting at my 9th house cusp 26 Scorpio 39.

    I guess you could say that I'm married to 9th house things.....books, learning, teaching, philosophy and religion, love of travel, love of foreign countries and ideas from other cultures. I met the women who later became my wife (now my ex-wife) in a bookstore...we were reaching for the same book at the same time. I was engaged to be married to another woman, and unfortunately that did not work out, but I met her at another 9th house area....when I was working at the financial aid office of a college. (Financial aid has ties to Scorpio, interestingly.)

    I only have two close aspects to this body. Saturn sextile, and the Sun quincunx it.
  • 12th house Juno in Taurus conjunct 1st house's cusp.
    My 7th house has Neptune in Sagittarius in it.

    I got married when I was only 17, that mariage ended in divorce a year and one child later. If I could find one word that could discribe my ex husband it would be Weak, he was and still is unemployed, he lived in his dreams, it always seemed hard for him to get out into the reel world, he never kept a job more than two months, he still doesn't clean his house. His parents supported us financially, they still support him. When I was 6 months pregnant and out of money his parents sent us 500$, he spent it on an electric guitar, he thinks he's an artist he always has, but he can't sing or play any instruments, but he tries. I still keep in contact with him ten years later, it's a constant reminder of everything I don't want in a mate.

    *Juno in Taurus: Solid, stable, and of course stubborn describes this partner*


    *Juno in the 12th House: Watch out for this one. There is an increased chance that the first marriage (or business) partner can do you in, or even be an enemy. More likely, it is you who are doing yourself in by getting attracted to the wrong person. This will be especially true if there are stressful aspects to Juno or to the ruler of the 7th house. It could also work out that the partner is really a nice person, but is restricted in some way and requires your constant help.*

      ok.........so i was wrong.........i have juno in the ninth house.......in virgo and an exact square to neptune.....and a sextile to my moon....with this placement i like zane am married to travel, philosophy and higher learning........i need a partner with whom i can travel long distances and philosophize........the partner will tend to be born a long distance from me or could be a foreigner..........aspecting my moon: the attraction will be to emotional and nuturing partners, and domestic types.....juno aspects neptune: i cannot marry someone b/c i feel sorry for them or b/c i want to save them. if i do, i will never have a problem of getting into a marriage for the wrong reasons....this aspect is described as a 911"dial that and have them taken away so they can be helped by a professional. then go into therapy yourself to cure your masochism." this is good to know! Lastly, with juno in virgo i need a partner who is efficent, workks hard, and watches out for my health. "all right, so they may be a little critical at times (or at all times), especially if your juno has stress aspects." oh yeah! i had one or two partners that were critical! i even had a buddy in college who i'd travel with and they were critical too! now this was just a friend! in the meantime, i remember when i lived in boulder i was driving down the street and saw a lonely looking boy......he wasn't my type, but i rmbr thinking that i felt sorry for him and wanted to be with him to save him.........WELL I am glad I didn't........... : ) peace, breath
  • Hey Sherpa,
    I feel like the queer thinker in the block, and I think I like that. Where comes the divination for the new Juno come from? I'll explain the question.

    For me Juno is the wife of Jupiter, but Jupiter was always on the run shaging other women. Juno was at home and did her jelous deeds to keep the marriage to Jupiter safe. So I might think Juno is the force to keep the structure of relationships in tact. I see Juno as a sort female Saturn of relations. Nothing love, no passion, just keeping up appearances. Hyacinth Buket, if you know the sit-com from England.

    Juno distroying the girlfriends of Jupiter, Juno keeping the home clean, Juno making a nice apearance in public: "You see, Jup and I are fin...".

    I'd like to see your vision, but between Juno and Jupiter there cann't have been LOVE or Passion. I think Juno had been more happy and proud with Saturn, but that's not how it was.

    LOVE
    P.
    • Prayoga -- Love comes in many flavors. As universal as this thing called love can be, it is also defined and known differently for each of us. I think you are right about the Saturn connection here, though, as Juno represents (for my money) more of a contractual agreement about what conditions must be maintained if the internal marriage is to remain intact (and thus, the external one, as well). And as you probably already know, it takes more than just love to keep people together. Those relationships that rely solely on love to hold them together can end up wearing love ragged to the bone.

      A 12th House Juno (or in Pisces), for example, signifies a person married to their solitude. If this person attracts a mate who cannot allow that solitude, the internal marriage is threatened until the 12th House Juno person's need for solitude finds a place in that relationship structure.

      11th House Juno (or in Aquarius) signifies someone who is married to their tribe, to their people, their friends.

      10th House Juno (or in Cap) signifies someone who is married to their ambitions.

      9th House Juno (or in Sagg) signifies someone who is married to their vision, their outlook on life, maybe to their religion.

      And so on...

        That's interesting,my juno is in libra and in my 12th house.My ex husband was a scorpio sun with libra rising and 4 planets in libra...he fits the description perfectly,at least in public.Put up a nice front so to speak,but privately a control freak and manipulative...glad I'm out of there...I'm definitely one person who needs space and time to myself in order to feel balanced...he couldn't stand that convinced I was ignoring him...one of those couldn't be away from me for an hour types...drove me crazy.
      • Ohhhhhhhhh yeah serpa,
        you are so right, and it's nice to have a harem of adoring ones....

        Well you don't say where that wisdom comes from, but you have a great tribe of believers so who am I to critisise you.

        Well and if we don't get into the topic of jelousy and keeping up apearances I think we speak different languages.

        Enjoy your play with the birds serpa.
        I got the point...........
    • According to Bob Marks (if you go with what he says. "Let's get things straight here before we go into the details about Juno in your horoscope. Venus and Mars show what we consider to be our ideal man or woman. The 5th house describes the type of people we tend to get involved with romantically. The 7th house tells us the kind of person our first marriage partner will be (and the 9th house describes our 2nd marriage partner, if any). Juno works on a more fundamental level."

      For me, my Natal Juno is in Capricorn in my 6th house. It tells me that I would be best suited with a partner who is my equal and would support me in my work goals and would maybe even work with me (service to others). I also have positive aspects to Mars and Jupiter. This indicates that I would be happy with a partner who is energetic, outgoing, and happy. Their support would have a positive effect on my successes in life.

      I looked to my 7th house for the type of person who was my first spouse. Aquarius is in my 7th. Aquarius type energies for me can tend to be a little guarded with their emotions and don't always express their feelings fully. They also tend to be more in tune and focused on people outside of their immediate family. I would say that was true for me.

      So, I should then look to my 9th house to see the type of person I would be attracted to should I re-marry. Aries rules my 9th house. Aries energies tend to be active and "out there". They are expressive and don't hold their feelings in. They can be a bit aggressive at times, but also can challange your mine. I like that. Also, my progressed Sun is in Aries now. So, maybe that would be a good thing.

      Prayoga... I think you have a very valid point with what you say. If I look at my placement (6th house Cap) I could say that maybe when I was younger I was attracted to types that felt that women had a role that dictated that they had to work and serve in order to deserve love and devotion. The thing I didn't see at the time is that to be really happy I need a balance and a give as well as take in my partners.

      I'm VERY independent, but my emotions can be pretty dependent at times and that is something I really hate. I guess if I'm honest with myself, I want a partner who is there and available when I want them to be, but knows when to let me have space, which I need. I'm not so sure I'm a very good partner person on a day-to-day level. I love to give and be "in love", but I really, really like my space and I have enjoyed being out of the marriage I was in where I felt trapped and unable to explore anything that I felt interested in.

      Not sure that person is out there for me....


      • I have Juno in Pisces conjunct with Pallas and squared to my Sun in Gemini... So I am married to my ideals and my visionary purpose. They are in the 5th house so I seek to realize my highest ideals in my romantic relationships but I am also a warrior on that level (Pallas) which means I am willing to take many risks if my soul is really connecting with the other person's and of course the chance of betrayal is high and I have experienced that as well (but continue undeterred!).

        The square aspect with my Sun creates an oscillation between my freedom and independence (the belief that marriage is an outdated formula for love) and my tendency for being devoted to the point of absurdity (especially for those who see it from the outside and don't understand that this is a spiritual experience for me) I have learned to accept my devotion and harness it in being devoted to my Higher Self's wellbeing before giving it to someone who may not "deserve it" I keep a close watch on what I call their "earth walk" before I go there!

        I totally understand the Sufi ideal of seeing the Divine in the Beloved! And I am still looking but now I have at least connected with the ideal inside myself so the search is more realxrd than it used to be!

    Good to see this link, I have Demetra George's book too, it is fun, though I have no idea how to work with asteroids. What orbs should be given them, for example? I think I heard Zane once say less than one degree...

    Mine is in Libra in the 11th, conjunct Pallas. I read that Pallas is supposed to make you argumentative, especially, I would imagine, in Libra. Well, I do not mind wangling, but am not so keen on those kind of arguments where it seems to be more about winnng than on who is really right, so probably feel betrayed where that seems to be the case. But I am not up on asteroids really.
    • Juno in Capricorn 4th house - 7 degrees
      Conjunt South Node - 5 degrees Cap. in 4th
      Sextile Sun exactly - 7 Scorpio in 3rd
      Sextile Venus - 6 Scorpio in 3rd
      Trine ASC - 12 Virgo

      Okay...Apparently I'm married to the past (south node), to the home (4th house), and to being successful from/in the home (capricorn). All the aspects are "easy" aspects, meaning this marriage comes easily to me. It's just there. It's what is for me. It's what I strive for and love (Sun, Venus, ASC aspects).

      I'm not sure how I feel about being married to my south node...what could that possibly mean!?!

      Quiet honestly, I do love being at home. I'm mostly a hermit (which I attribute partially to my Virgo rising), though I do get out once in a while. All in all I'm tied to the home and would prefer to work from home, basically to work for myself. I tire of job relationships where I have to do what someone else wants me to do. I want to be my own boss. I want to, and always have wanted to, meld the responsibilities of home and work. Which is partially why I want to help start a healing and educational sustainable community/center thing, whatever. Fits perfectly.

      Partners: I look for someone who is grounded. Someone who can help me handle the business and organizational aspects of life. I need somone who can make decisions, as I tend to express my libran side with indecision. I want someone who wants to help me materialize my vision, and has the material world know-how to do it. I can fly off the handle sometimes emotionally, so someone who is grounded is key to helping me ground myself (my only earth is the ascendant in Virgo).

      Question:

      The love of my life has his Juno at 24 Capricorn, 4th house. What could that mean in terms of our relationship? That we seek the same thing? Does that mean we won't find it in each other? I think I'm more likely to find what I'm looking for in a partner in him, as he's a Virgo, hence the grounding earth quality. And he's very on top of things in the healing business world...

      Just wondering!
      • k: I think you have a pretty good grasp of your natal Juno: married to your home and family life. As for the conjunction with your South Node, here is where the depth lies. This speaks to a marriage with your ancestral legacy, to those who came before you and for whom you are somehow contracted to continue, or to extend, their memory.

        "The love of my life has his Juno at 24 Capricorn, 4th house. What could that mean in terms of our relationship? "

        That you both have 4th House Capricorn Juno can indicate a fortuitous and even auspicous communion. This is a relationship that plays for keeps and demands to be taken seriously. The conditions for both internal marriages remain the same: you are each married to your home and family but also to your ambitions and goals. The key to compatibility here is what the poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggests:

        ""I hold this to be the highest task of a bond between two people: that each should stand guard over the solitude of the other."

        The key word here for the Capricorn Juno is not solitude as much as "task". To stand guard over the solitude not of oneself but of the other is an important task if each person's goals are to be respected. The mutual respect of each other's ambitions is what would maintain this bond over time in my opinion. Loss of this respect would probably arouse the feelings of betrayal.

        Does any of this make sense ?

  • I also have an Aquarius Juno in the 3rd - square venus.

    What am I married to? Freedom, and to be honest - I was going to answer precisely what you answered before I read it, Sherpa.

    Where are my betrayal issues? Repression, distraction, and a lack of personal freedom.
    • I have Juno 12th house scorpio, 28 degrees (I was born on the 28th?)
      I married a scorpio with leo moon, it was beyond insane and at the end, she did what she could to destroy me. There are parts of me still recovering...
      The process of recovering led me to a search for truth that has consumed my life. I dont do meaningless conversations, I am deep intense and real, or silent as a rule and most of the people that visit are usually seeking some form of emotional help. I have a commercial space on a retail strip where I do readings. I semi-secretly live in the back of my shop and I have a 900 line that can ring 24/7. There is an idea of living what I do and a stronger idea of helping people to see things about themselves that they don't want to see. I am a significant door opener for many.
      I would say I am married to my cat, Yuri. He's actually a manx and has remarkable communication skills. We are together 20 hours a day. We are co-dependant.
      Scorpio males have never been a problem for me and I won't associate with scorpio females. Aries and libras have shown me alot friendship on the surface but secretly suffered from jealousy and sought some form of retribution. Over all the most desceptive I have seen has been from leos. As to the hidden enemies, they seem to come from all directions.
      There seems to always be some kind of habitual liar around as a friend (previously an aries) but they seldom last long. Now it's a guy (a cancer) and he's such a practicle joker you cant take him serious.

      My Juno is in the 4th house, Mercury in Pisces.4th house= family, Mercury= Communication,travel, moves fast. Picses= a need for solitude...

      I guess I need someone that won't hold me down, and allows me time for myself. I really don't know how the 4th house plays into it though?... I come from a loose knit family.

      Whats your take on that combo Sherpa?
      • Micahel --

        re: "Juno in the 4th house with Mercury in Pisces"

        This placement represents a complex marriage to your ideas AND the ideas of your ancestors. It's made complex by the Pisces inclination to maintain unity and so, your ideas and the ideas passed down to you from your ancestral legacy are entwined as threads in the same weave. And so, you are at once a spokesperson for your clan and also someone who has ideas of his own but often times confused with those of your forefathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. The ancestral lineage of ideas is passed down from generation to generation as a kind of "code of the clan" that comes with its own terms, defintions and contexts of what they mean. The primary purpose of this code would probably be to hold the family together on the symbolic, spiritual and emotional levels.

        If any of this makes sense, how would your sense of betrayal be defined and then, healed ?

    My juno is in capricorn in the 7th house. It´s trining my Sun and sextiles my jupiter(ruler of my 7th house).

    I always feel married to my relationships, I´m high maintanance. I fight for balance, I take reltionships seriuosly, I´m very aware of power struggles also. For me relationships should are based on love, respect, communication, and equal responsabilities for both.

    Besides my juno in the 7th I also have many planets in libra: mars, saturn and pluto. (all retrogades)
    • just looked this up. my juno is in virgo just in 11th house right next to mars virgo in the 10th both are almost on top of each other. kinda cramped in the 10th house were I have pluto & uran. juno doesn't seem to connect to anything else. except its allmost in the same place w/ mars on the other side of the 10th 11th house line.
      I'm just devorced. betrail: I feel very much soo. mostly w/ my kids not getting the mother they & I feel they should have. They all live w/ me. I feel more betraid by the fact that they have been. The ex has been working hard on me to come back home, bring kids w/ me. They all say "No way dad". The betrail is mostly that She is not looking to find them. She would do wonders to getting my heart through them. I've even told her this to no affect.
      I have another issue, but that isn't soo important. It's just about me. I have kids, "I" don't matter so much.

    Juno in the 8th in Cancer (just barely, at 29 degrees nudging up next to Leo). That 8th house just keeps getting more and more crowded...

    • maenad! you are married to your changes, your ongoing process of personal evolution and their ever-molting transformations...
      • with further thought on you're question, I guess i took it to litterally. married to creating. new things, Timespent on somthing you can see. somthing that inritches the lives of people around me. Betrayal issues. Anything that takes such for it's self. Keeps it away from who needs or wants it. Anything I create I offer to the world. I feel worthy if just 1 get something they need or want from it. i feel betrayed if the recongnition or reward it taken by another or kept from the world by another. I hope this isn't too criptic. Thats why I kinda said it twice.
        my juno is virgo 11th house, & If I'm getting this right it is sextile w/my sun in cancer & mercury in cancer.
        • DragonWire,

          re: "juno in virgo 11th house"

          Yes perhaps you did take the "marriage" idea too literally. However, I think you're pretty close to grasping it here. Your natal Juno placement might suggest a kind of marriage to your tribe or at least married to staying useful to your people, your tribe, your circle of friends. That your Juno is in Virgo could also mean being married to your work and/or the friendships you develop at work. This confirms what you already said, "Timespent on something you can see that enriches the lives of people around me."

          Sometimes this 11th House Juno placement can also mean marrying within your tribe, or forming a longterm relationship with someone with whom a friendship has already been established. It can also mean that whomever you mate with must either get along with your friends and/or that your friends approve of her/him. Being a friend to yourself might also be a part of the condition that maintains the internal marriage.

          Does any of this ring bells ?

        *you are married to your changes, your ongoing process of personal evolution and their ever-molting transformations... *

        Am I ever, and better yet if the transformations include a good dose of shock and awe. I don't think I needed Juno to tell me that, though. But maybe it helps clarify when I feel betrayed - when I find myself in a rut, bored because I have figured out the pattern and it is therefore no longer stimulating.

    ok i'll take a try at this. i am married to my fantasies and dreams from the comfort of my home. my feelings of betrayal in longterm relationships can rise when my partner fails to realize how important those fantasies and dreams are inside and outside our relationship and does not honor them. when that happens i erect barriers between us basically sabotaging the relationship and causing it to end. on the upside, i've remained friends with lovers after that form of partnership ends. our friendships afterwards are much better than when we were in an intimate sexual relationship. this usually comes from my realization that my fantasies and dreams of us were unrealistic and then forgiving myself and my partner for all negativity that was caused by this. and i can definitely say that i have done what the website zane posted says not to do and gotten into a relationship with someone because i felt sorry for them and wanted to "save" them. and i only now just realized that from working on this so this is a major lesson i am learning. in the past i have contributed my relationship failures to my believing i don't deserve to be loved and wanted in this world (message given to me pre-birth when my parents attempted to abort me... thank goodness for me my mom couldn't complete the drug regimen) and now i also see how this may have affected them as well. deep gratitude and thanks sherpa for bringing this up.

    below is my "worksheet" at how i came to the above with annotations along the way. enjoy!

    ***************************

    Juno in Pisces: This one may be satisfied with an imaginary partner! If they happen to be married to (or living with) a real person, then they can use imagination to eliminate the partner's shortcomings and add virtues to taste. Please be careful not to marry someone because you feel sorry for them or want to "save" them. (yep i've had imaginary partners and yes i have used imagination to eliminate my partner's shortcomings. too late to be careful, been there done that hopefully learned my lesson.)

    Pisces

    Pisces is a water sign and extremely receptive. Pisces may glimpse things that are invisible to most signs. It is sensitive to everything around it, and picks up energies and impressions easily. It might even experience these energies as part of itself.

    This sensitivity can produce a strong imagination, and sometimes Pisces can withdraw into a world of fantasy and dreams. It is very likely to have a spiritual interest, but can be passive and lacking in self-assertion.

    Pisces is no so much concerned with its own needs, and often interested in serving others. It feels a connection between itself and the world around it and is sensitive to the needs of others.

    -------

    Juno in the 4th House: This person can be married to their home. Juno in the 4th house can also indicate a need for a partner who is attached to the domestic environment. Another possibility is that you become more of a domestic type after marriage. (yes my tendency is to be more of a homebody though i have no resistance to going outside of the home if i want to do something in the world.)

    4th House - Roots and Origins

    This house describes our origins, our parental home and the circumstances influencing childhood and youth. It describes how we relate to "family", our attitudes towards "hearth and home".

    -------

    i include this here because juno is just seconds into the 4th house conjunct ic

    Juno in the 3rd House: Communication will tend to be an especially important here, and marriage or partnership will tend to improve the communications ability of anyone with this placement, especially if there are harmonious aspects to Juno (sextile and trine). Stressful aspects on the other hand (square and opposition) could indicate that the marriage can reduce communications ability. (well communication has always been an issue for me as it is hard for me to communicate my inner feelings, thoughts, desires, etc in a way that is satisfactory. alot of times i can't think of the right way to say things, get frustrated, and say nothing.)

    3rd House - Communication

    The third house tells us about our siblings, the manner in which we communicate on an everyday level and the relationships which determine our daily life. It shows how we react to our immediate environment and learn from it.

    --------

    Juno Aspects the Moon: The attraction will be to emotional and nurturing partners, and domestic types. At least they will tend to be nurturing with the harmonious aspects conjunction, sextile and trine. The stressful aspects (square and opposition) can indicate a clash between your emotional and partnership needs. You could get a partner who is over-emotional or whines a lot. Conversely, the partner could bring out those traits in you. (juno is sextile moon here but i swear it could fit the stressful aspects description, maybe because juno is in pisces and living in that world of fantasy and dreams.)

    Juno Aspects Neptune: If you have a stressful aspect (conjunction, square, or opposition) between Juno and Neptune, please, PLEASE do not marry someone because you feel sorry for them or because you want to "save" them. Remember this magic number. If you do, you will never again have the problem of getting into a marriage for the wrong reasons. Please memorize it. It's 911. Dial that and have them taken away so they can be helped by a professional. Then, get into therapy yourself to cure your masochism. (lol! i have done exactly this and i guess thankgoodness that juno is trine neptune!)

    On the positive side especially with the harmonious aspects (sextile and trine) the partner will tend to be sensitive, empathetic, and imaginative. Marriage and partnership can also bring out these same traits in you. In all cases, there will be an inclination to over idealize the partner, to see what we want to see about them. (boy isn't that the truth especially with juno in pisces!)

    Juno Aspects the Mid-Heaven: Aspects to the Mid-Heaven affect one's career and "public image." Juno-ruled careers include marriage councilor and people who work in organizations that try to prevent wife-battering and child abuse. Like Venus, Juno has an attraction for all occupations that involve beauty and adornment. This also includes anything involving the arts. When it comes to career, it doesn't matter if an aspect to the Mid-Heaven is harmonious or stressful. In fact, the stressful aspects can frequently bring greater success since they generate more power. Those with harmonious aspects may take it too easy and not push hard enough. (funny most of my career choices have been non-artistic, though i have always wished to be in a couple different kind of artistic professions but never pursued them because for some reason i've considered myself not worthy, but that's another matter.)

    A lot of thought provoking stuff on this thread. I haven't seen so much interest in Juno in years. Great!

    One thing caught my eye the was mentione en passant. The 9th house represents the 2nd spouse.
    How valid has anyoe found that to be?

    I ask for two reasons. First, I have Juno in my 9th, so there should be a much more direct connection with my Juno and a future spouse (If I everremarry) than there was with my first wife.

    Second, my 9th house is much, much less stressful than my 7th. I have Saturn and Neptune in my 7th, and Saturn itself makes mostly difficult aspects. In fact, the only positive aspect Saturn makes at all is a quintile to my Moon. Neither one of these planets is great for a relationship....and they clearly define the first marriage partner (who was a Pisces wth sever Saturn issues.)

    In my 9th house, I have my Moon, which is part of a grand trine with Venus and Jupiter, and the aforementioned quintile to Saturn. The only stressful aspect the Moon makes is a quincunx to Uranus...but hey, marriage is adjustments.

    So I'm curious if people have seen the 9th house representing a second spouse.

      Zane --

      My assumption about the 9th House Juno is that you are married to your vision of truth and the philosophy that has developed from that initial vision. "Love me, love my vision." Your most compatible partners would be those who get along with your truth, understand your beliefs, and share your interests.

      No matter how great everything else might be, if the mate does not "get your vision" the marriage is doomed. I don't usually lay it down so hard but with Saturn in your 7th, you deserve to be the one to set down a few hard laws about what works for you and what does not. Otherwise, you'll be forced to follow HER rules. I say to you, "define yourself or be defined."

      As for whether 9th House Juno assures a second wife or points to that, well, there may be something here seeing how all your Gemini influence may be prone to manifest in dual or parallel cycles. Now I noticed on your profile page that Juno is in your 8th House and was wondering if it moves into the 9th in a different House System.

        Thanks, Sherpa. IF I am ever in another relationship....and please note the emphasis on IF....I've already formulated some clear definitions. One of the biproducts of Pluto squaring my Saturn and opposing my Sun........

        As for Juno...I have Juno in the 8th technically, but it is 5 minutes away from the 9th cusp on that chart. I consider it right on the 9th cusp.

      Me, venus/7th/Cancer and mars/Pisces/3rd. First was a Pisces, definitely.

      moon Virgo, ninth house, my second Sun Virgo/Leo Moon.

      This resonated with me.

      Wonder what 3rd spouse house is?

      Glad to hear I'm on to the fundamental. My father always said I took after his mother...she finally settled down into number 5..of course that was many years ago.

        Sherpa,

        I'm going to reply way down here because it seems to be where people look!

        Regarding two people having Capricorn Juno in the 4th:

        That does make a lot of sense. I know that he is definitely married to his family and to his ambitions - much love goes towards these two areas. We are both married to our "spiritual families", so to speak. I in particular, because I really don't have a great relationship with 1/2 the people in my immediate family, though the rest, I must admit, I have a great unspoken bond with.

        I definitely get the "feelings of betrayel" aspect - he's really into homeopathy, and when I've brought that line of healing into question, he's become very defensive and almost bitter. I've also been inclined toward some bitter feelings when I feel he doesn't support who and what I am as much as I'd like him to. Not so much material support, but just a, hey, that's great what you're doing, keep it up!

        Yes, so it totally makes sense.

        Thanks!

        ~*k*~

        btw - i really liked that quote!

          Oh yeah, I almost forgot...

          In relation to carrying on a legacy...

          I'm not entirely sure about that one, though I have always been interested in geneaology and where my ancestors came from...though just over the past six years that has switched to an interest in past lives. So I get the "remembering who has come before" (or what) aspect.

          I did have an intuitive friend tell me once that I'm picking up where my mom left off. She also has a cancer north - capricorn south node, just different houses. interesting that she has juno in the 4th house...but in leo...almost exactly square mine...hmm...perhaps something to look into?

          thanks again! it's greatly appreciated!

        Yeah, all this stuff about subsequent 'spouses'. What if a person was never ever married in the first place, yet had a couple long-term relationships? Do those still count? Does the 9th house still hold for all such subsequent relationships, or does it move around, until you get something like a '5 strikes you're out' ?

        My mother was married 5 times. She's been with the current one for about 27 years. He's 23 years her junior. I guess she wasn't lookin' too hard at that Juno, eh...
  • ..how about Juno in Cancer in the 8th @ 17*, conjunct the Vertex @ 13*? very wide opposition w/Part of Fortune @ 5* Capricorn in 2nd..the only aspects are Juno in angle to Jupiter & Juno square Pluto (@ 21* Libra, 11th)..
    I don't know exactly how aspects affecting the Vertex would affect Juno being conjunct, but I have Vertex biquintile the moon, trine Mercury and in angle to Mars..


    "Emotions rule the Juno in Cancer; if your partner fulfills you emotionally everything else will follow in line. If your partner is emotionally cold or too grasping you will feel quite on edge; Juno-Cancer's strong suit is not holding up under emotional pressure. If your partner meets your needs, however, you are extremely loving and nurturing in long-term relationships. You treat others with tenderness and care, making you much sought-after and adored. The past is very important to you; you remember anniversaries and touching occasions which you celebrate with loving remembrances. That same remembrance of the past is your downfall, however; you may remember past hurts too keenly and be reluctant to be vulnerable. Love requires that vulnerability and you'd be wise to remember the lessons you've learned from past hurts but to remember that it's important not to guard your emotions with an iron fist and to be a little less sensitive."

    I have a Pisces sun w/Venus in the 5th so I'm guessing this placement makes me very emotionally intense in relationships, and relationships are extremely important to me...which is very true. I have yet to be involved with/find a guy that could handle or remotely reflect my extreme emotional needs within a relationship.. : (
  • oh, that’s great. JUST great. like I needed MORE confirmation of my severe attachment to the 6th house. damn.

    Juno at 20 degrees 48’ Gemini. conjunct Mercury(retro) at 19 degrees 36’, Sun at 18 degrees 39’, and moon at 23 degrees 9’. all in Gemini. all in the 6th house. oh yeah, and speaking of the association with the Descendant/7th house cusp, that’s at 25 degrees 4’ Gemini.

    boo hoo hoooo
    I got them 6th house blues....
  • ok Sherpa - you have managed to stump me. I cannot feel attached to this Juno exercise for some reason.

    I'll keep thinking about it. :)
    • Why-oh-ming,

      Stump you ?

      Where is your natal Juno ?

      Perhap she may be stumped, too.

      • It's 20 degrees scorpio - 4th house.
        • Why-oh-ming,

          re: "Juno at 20 degrees scorpio - 4th house."

          With the preface that I don't believe astrology has answers for all circumstances (anyone who says so is padding their BS), I think your Juno placement may be about being married to the evolution of what home and family means. At its most essential level this addresses the need for belonging somewhere.

          This is not a typical 4th House Juno of "family values" but one that demands the transformation of what constitutes "home and family" as defined by your preceding ancestors. Look to see where natal Pluto sits to grasp HOW this transformation occurs and what charged issue in yourself will effect this change. If Pluto is in the1st House, the issue would be identity; in the 2nd House, money; in the 3rd House, education.
          • that's really interesting Sherpa. Maybe that's why it was so hard for me to write about the Neptune in the 4th. I've felt for a long time that I am looking for a way to integrate home/family life into my personal view of relationships. Finding a place to belong to is a big theme in my life - and I've never really had anyone accurately sum up - astrologically why that could be.

            With pluto in my 2nd, I guess it would come through values/money.

            I have been experimenting in my partnership with transforming our definition of what home/family life is, and how we can better help each other pay for it.

            Interesting...

            thank you.
      • My Juno Is 12th House 19 degree in Libra.

        I am married to maintaining a relation to the x-factor. Any one-sided truth sends me writhing with wild eyes and flared nostrils like a lassoed horse. I also have Uranus at 15 degree Libra. This loosish conjunction keeps me married to my freedom. I feel this freedom deeply by keeping a healthy dose of the unknown in everything that I relate to. For me fertilization and growth can sometimes only happen in the dark.

        Betrayal comes when someone thinks that they have me, or something that I hold dear completely figured out. Total understanding of anything, for me, is an illusion and robs that very thing of any autonomous life present. My feathers start to become unruffled at the first utterance of the words possibly, maybe or (swoon) I don't know. Crowding and suffocation needs creating and maintaining the spaces between.

        Aspects that I have been working to fathom for many years:
        I have a 9th house Venus 13 degree Cancer, and 6th house Chiron 16 degree Aires.
        This T-square(?) has me aiming to honor my love of a caring perspective in tension with preserving mystery. While also often rocking the boat in refernce to any institution that is knows what is best for all of us. Hmmm, this interpretation get more slippery the more words I use...
  • Wow. I'm really at a loss for words with this one.

    Juno 19d in Virgo, 10th house. Sextile Saturn in Scorpio, 12th house.

    Really, I need a few days for this one to sink in.

    What struck me immediately was the 10th house- being married to my ambitions and career. I've always been that way. I have a very real bond with the world of social standing and career.

    And Virgo?. That was kind of a blow. It's a far cry from what I THINK I want, with Venus conj Uranus in Sag. I want fun and freedom. A light touch. But really the only real relationship I've been in has been with the same guy SINCE I WAS 12. Sure enough it's been VERY on and off (mostly off). But it's always there, looming in the shadows. The C word...COMMITMENT! noooooooooooooooo

    I think it's a little early in the game to analyze this one. We'll see how it pans out.

    Wow.
  • My Juno is in Leo in the 4th house conjunct my retrograde mercury (in virgo) and trine my retrograde neptune in sag in the 8th house. whew! what the-!?
    • I have Juno in Libra, in my 8th house, on the cusp of Scorpio.

      It’s confusing to factor together everything that relates to relationships in a chart. In mine I have my much reviled Leo Saturn in the 7th, and also Eros and Psyche in my 7th, in Virgo. Now Juno in the 8th too? Hopefully 7th house Eros and 8th house Juno bring a needed balance to 7th house Saturn, but it’s confusing to see the bigger picture.

      One really interesting thing I noticed is that my 8th house Juno (at 29 some degrees Libra) looks to be conjunct (though they are different signs) my 9th house North Node (at 3 some degrees Scorpio), and my 2nd house Chiron (at 28 some degrees Aries) opposes my Juno and North Node, and also seems to be conjunct (though different signs) my 3rd house South Node (at 3 some degrees Taurus).

      Could this Juno, Chiron opposition, connected to the nodes, be seen as a need to move from an individualistic place of wallowing in suffering (Aries/ Chiron near Taurus south node) towards balanced, harmonious, potent, transformational, intense, powerfully sexual relationships (8th house Juno, Libra near Scorpio north node)--to not let a sense of isolated suffering draw me into old patterns and keep me from relating?

      I’m further confused after reading the information from the link provided below, which describes Juno as a strictly sexual planet:
      "Juno rules sex without commitment. Juno is ruler of lust and sexual relations without emotional involvement. Juno represents sex outside of a committed relationship, such as a marriage. For these reasons, Juno is symbolic of the mistress, adultery, infidelity, cheating, illicit sex, casual sex, as well as the affair and the one-night stand.”

      This way of interpreting Juno would blow everything I just said out of the water; how can we reconcile such opposite interpretations? Any ideas?
      • Definet spin yes. i have juno in libra 11th house. put that together w/ you're input, or should I say Export. gives this a whole new meaning.
        • another thought. their was a word in this thread "betrayal".. of partner, of your too partner, of the honor of self. looking foward to see were this thread goes.
          • Unsu...
             
            there was talk about Juno and the soul mate post -so I dug this post up in case any new member haven't seen it. There are other too -I chose this one because of my own personal clarity of what it is saying and asking.
            • I see Juno in quite a different light. Maybe thats because i am a woman. Juno before Zues came around was a Consort, not a wife. Two different perspectives. The disempowerment of the feminine within all of us has also played out in our archetype as a wife. Since founding Roman times, the bypassing of woman or wife from the wealth of the kingdom ended up in a current tradition pre sixties back to 1500 bc that the father passes the resources to the son leaving the once powerful Juno with her consort Zues in jepardy. She began to lose her status and became a figurehead of the wife who was powerless, and eventaully demoted to raising children and servant cleaning chores, still prevelant in some womens psyche.

              A Juno pre Sun God was not so nieve or disempowered. After the era of feminism of the 1970s and 80s a whole new level of scholars including Demetra George shows a different perspective than the archeology one of just figure head with no true empowerment over the domain of 'All my Relations' I say this because my Juno is in the 7th house of Gemini and i had to see both the antiquities view and the ermerging feminine energy in both men and women and chldren today. I call the era of feminism over and the era of the feminine replacing it. A place where woman, with such stories as Lilith returning to paradise rther than the shell with no soul of Eve's archetype. This femiinine within everyone is beginning to see that fifty percent of our beliefs and realities are missing the hidden elements of the internal and its empowerment, which is to touch that part of us that is hidden and one of a deeper nature that rules our Solar expression. Its premanifestated spirit of creation in any term.

              My Juno is also square Eris, the new rising feminine who will not stand by silently anymore and witsness the abuse of the Solar God Zues without turning away out of rejection of the home, family or clan and call on inwardly the aspects of Vesta, Pallas Athene, Psyche, Nike, and a host of other aspects of womans unconscious to guide, not to turn away.

              They say there are two types of women, those ruled by the Moon: If i clean your laundry and do your dishes ... YOU OWE ME the abundance of a home for my children or loved ones. And the VENUS woman, who says yes you may lay your abundance at my feet but do not own me for i am Love and eternally free if i can master and overcome the distorted views of a woman who is CONSOR|T to man rather than wife. To me i see JUNO a mix of both, once integrated and whole. Now over the past 2000 years i see the fragmented and soul fragments of the Yang energy thats been dominate and has control issues. Both womens masculine side and mens masculine sides.

              So to bring Juno back into wholeness not as wife but consort elevates her to GODDESS along side Zues as GOD. Belief systems of Sagittarius have been going through a Death with Pluto in Sag and especially now that its near the Galactic Center and will transit and hit the Gallactic center three times before it finally goes direct into CAPRICORN.

              So the wholeness of Juno isn't even known in the psyche of 85% of women and thats even her own herstory, i can't imagine what men must think as these Archetypes of the Goddess begin to become transformed. Remember for wholeness we must bring Zues down 50% and rise Hera or Juno up 50% for true Balance which leads to peace between the sacred marriage of the Mind and Emotinoal body or in fact men and womens relationships as equal, not diminished or heirarchal.

    On a Juno rampage

    Tue, October 10, 2006 - 4:36 PM
    I've been pondering restlessly since somone brought up Juno on the "soulmates" thread.
    I'm glad someone decided to take it further, because if they didn't I was truly leading up to it!

    My Venus is cinjunct my S.O's Juno, and we certainly have issues brewing, such as confronting our own heartbreaks and heartaches of the past. These aches 'n' pains go back around 13 years for us both. No one but each other has been able to uncover the buried pain until now, which really says something. I guess we are playing "doctor and nurse" getting through each other's scar tissue to the original wound. Now we are both faced with a person (each other) who touches on that wound like no other has since the original wound was inflicted. It seems that we have some healing to do, and we both are realizing that we won't ever be able to accept true love again until we are healed.
    Apparently our respective Juno's were both spited in the past. If Juno is what we need in a relationship, then our scar -tissue prevents us both from getting what we need now. Now that leads me to utter that other Juno-word: BETRAYAL. We were both betrayed in our youth, and now we can't open up again...but I have a funny feeling we both hold the key. There is no way I'd ever do anything which I thought could hurt this woman, and she is slowly managing to convince me that she is truly my friend and confidante, and not just a fire-breathing lover.

    When I read the bit about Juno, I just snapped. I really never thought that asteroids were more than a little "extra color" in a birthchart. Now I am convinced that they may add incredible depth to us. I just ordered a book from Amazon.com about Juno for just $4.95. It's the only one there, really, so it shouldn't be a difficult search if you are interested.

    I am totally on a crusade to discover the power and mystery behind Juno now. I am not only looking into my chart and hers, but into the charts of all the people I know and even a few I don't know to find pieces to the puzzle.

    When I finally come back to this solar system, I'll let you all in on the data.
  • This is funny. Haha funny as well as peculiar funny.

    Juno is in my 9th house in Aries. Funny.
    • Juno conjunct my Asc./Pluto in Libra
      I am married to marriage and partnerships. Marriage/family is very important to me. I put a lot of energy into maintaining the relationship and working at it. The betrayal would come from any kind of hurt towards the family. Any kind of adultry, abuse...I wouldn't tolerate it for a second, and he *knows* this. A betayal to the family is a betrayal to me. Also with Pluto there, it is important for my partner have the same passion for keeping the relationship at the level it needs to be. Meaning that both of us are responsible for putting our energy and effort into it, and both of us are responsible for working on ourselves and coming to terms with what we need to work on within ourselves-- so to strengthen the marriage and family when it is needed. Because nobody is perfect and even people and relationships need 'maintenance.' Bluntly--I don't tolerate any kind of denial/lying/coverups about any aspect of you or our relationship. If their is a problem, bring it out in the open and we will do what is in our power to make it better.


  • Hey Sherpa,

    Nice thread. So maybe you can help me out. I have Juno in Pisces in the 8th house. My moon is Scorpio and my sun is Capricorn....not that that matters. 5th house is Sag and 7th is aqaurius. Not sure what that all means...but everything I read about Pisces tells me I will be a doormat. In fact I have protected myself from relaionships - so well that I stay away from them.

    I do tend though to have a very strong "radar" when it comes to dating. If my internal instincts do not like what I am doing or who I am contelplating dating it will give me physical and psychic hell until i obey (back pain, anxiety) etc. I can't seem to fool myself. I wonder if part of the reason in because my moon sign and my Juno are trine - my emotional needs are in tune with the type of person "I need". Therefore I cannot just fall for someone who doesn't meet my "needs"? Any thoughts you might have would be great.

    BTW - I watch your threads here and there and I think you have alot of interesting stuf to say. Plus I think you are a Scorpio right? Love you guys......
    • Coors,

      re: "Juno in Pisces in the 8th house"

      This marks the tendency to already be married to your evolutionary agendas to keep developing and growing as a personality/soul. That psychic dating radar of yours is probably fine-tuned to any potential deadend or stagnating relationship directions, sometimes even before you meet the person (hence, the psychic part).

      Some of the conditions -- and every marriage is bound by specific conditions -- to being married to your evolutionary agendas might involve only involving yourself with potential mates that show strong promise of intensity and personal growth for you. The Pisces here expresses a strong indication that the powers of receptivity -- listening and paying attention -- act as evolutionary triggers.

      Receptivity is not the same as passivity; receptivity is more like that radar of yours. In the 8th House, you seek out partners who are compatible with your need to grow and develop, as well as, partners who can enhance your own powers of receptivity by showing a greater receptivity towards yourself then even you, yourself, can! Wouldn't that be loverly ?



  • Hi Sherpa- This is really interesting to me. Perhaps you could shed some clarity on the contradictions I am weeding through in my placements.... I am not an astrological sharp shooter, and sometimes these relationships are like conjugating verbs in spanish.....

    • Dienne,

      re: "Pisces Juno in the 3rd House with Mars, Sun, ceres, vesta,..."

      If I were you, i would not try too hard to weed out those contradictions in the name of clarity. Wherever the Pisces archetype is involved, contradiction acts as a symptom of the presence of Soul. Too much clarity (illumination) has a way of scaring the fishes into subterranean caverns (subconscious).

      With that said, you are married to communication and more specifically, a certain need for nonverbal communicaton, even telepathy of sorts. And at the very least, the receptivity to assure listening. These attributes also express the conditons of your internal marriage, conditions you may also seek out in a mate. Good communication is paramount to intimacy here; without it, the relationships can suffer rapid dissolution. If the partner stops listening to you, emotional distance will take over and afterwards, a sense of betrayal.

      Most betrayal begins with self-betrayal and the way you would betray yourself is by overlookng the importance of self-communication (especially with your Sun nearby), of maintaining steady communication lines allowing you to listen and respond to your inner voice.

      As for the sun and mars, along with ceres, vesta, and pholu....nearby...that only emphasizes the significance of communication, as well as, a strong drive to continue learning as much as you can. There is obviously much much more to this that can only be given justice in a full-on horoscope reading (which is impossible in this forum).

      Hope that helps...
      • Very much so. Thank you. More than I could have hoped. Any suggestions for a good in depth reading? Kind regards- I've always enjoyed your insights, discussions, and kindness.
        • Sherpa,

          I too have juno in pisces 8th house, but I am not sure I weed enough. I tend to save and heal people, but if I don't see them evolving in a positive direction, I do leave or get bored. A lot of love relationships I have had feel unsatisfactory for that reason, without equality, yet the people I attract (since I don't approach guys) always have psychological disorders and/or substance abuse problems. Some are financially successful and some are not. Some are physically attractive and some aren't. Some work out non stop while others are couch potators. The obsessiveness/compulsiveness is what they all have in common, and it can be well directed Type A or a misdirected obsessive personality. My moon however, in virgo, opposes juno, Also Juno squares my sag stellium and conjuncts my jupiter. The only trines to juno are by uranus, mars, and saturn.

          Thanks ahead,
          Tara
          • Tara,

            You forgot to mention that you also have Jupiter in Pisces in the 8th and that it's part of a massive T-square with Moon and Sun! No wonder you attract the most complex, wounded and otherwise ready-to-be-saved: do you approach your relationships like creative projects ? I mean, are they actually creative projects disguised as relationships ? I am also curious if you find these "healing relationships" consuming creative energies that you would prefer directing towards more artistic endeavors.

            -sherpa
            • Yeah they are consuming. Every time I end relationships, I feel more energized and happier. It's sad, but true. I never have longed for the one that "got away". I get more things accomplished and feel healthier when I am alone. Many times, I resist getting involved with people, but they chase me, and then I give in. I have to admit it's the mars in scorpio that pushes me to get involved because I have physical needs, but emotionally I feel drained because it rarely is just physical, they want me to counsel them, listen to their problems, etc. I just feel burnt because I try to be nice and listen and help them out, but most just want to unload their emotions on me and never face their problems. It feels like wasted energy. I don't unload my problems to men. Besides relationships, my life is pretty drama and problem free. If my horoscope indicates that it is better for me to live a solitary life, then maybe that is what I should do. I enjoy my own company and the company of my platonic friends much more than the company of my lovers. It's the physical lust that I feel which gets me in trouble.
              • Tara,

                re: "I enjoy my own company and the company of my platonic friends much more than the company of my lovers. It's the physical lust that I feel which gets me in trouble."

                As a double Scorp, I know what you mean. We are lucky to be lustful. We have energy to spare. We just have to learn the value of that energy and not give it away so easily. I think most people's problems are actually energy problems. What they preoccupy themselves with often drains and depletes them. And without enough energy, it's tough to realize your intentions in life, let alone solve your own problems.

                Once you have enough energy, almost anything is possible, yes ? I'd say tend to your own supply and only give yourself away to sexual lust when you can afford to do so. Lust as currency. What starts out as the lust for life easily becomes the lust for many other things. If you can trace your lust back to its pure origins, you will be drinking from a near bottomless well of life energies.
          • Hey Tara,

            Just picking up on your thread....besides having Juno in Pisces and 8th house like you I also have Jupiter in Pisces.

            I used to think I had weeded too much but like you when I have gotten involved I think it was always with people who were somehow not as strong emotionally so they leaned for support. Like you I feel more calm sometimes alone and I tend to have a drama free life. But I think over the last 3 years I realized that although I may attract people who look to me usually as someone so well put together compared to others they know - that I haven't looked for someone who really challenges me. I think it was a confidence and self esteem issue. I would date people who I had no doubt cared and thought I was the best thing since sliced bread. But I have never met someone who intimidated me in the sense where I would question what I have to offer them - in a good way though not a self- put down way.

            I think its like Sherpa said though - in the 8th house it seems that we are aware of our sprititual growth. We may get involved with people who are a little lost and we can help and care but we KNOW when they are not contributing to our personal growth. And maybe though once we get to a point when we feel confident enough we will start to meet the people who are more "equal" with us. Don't mean that in a cocky way - we are just all at different points on our journies is all.

            Just my thoughts since we have some planets in common :-)

              Another obvious place where spiritual growth takes place is where Jupiter is, or the house ruled by Saggittarius. In fact, for that reason I would more or less suggest that the NINTH house is where we find our spiritual growth...and the 8th house is where we attract and experience the stimulus for that growth. 8th leads to 9th. Definately connected.

              In my case I have a Cancerian 8th house. Cancer draws on the Moon(in Scorpio), which in my case is in Scorpio in the 11th. So I often find emotional scorpionic associations which leads to my enlightenment in the 9th. My 9th is ruled by Leo, and my Sun(Leo's ruler is in the 2nd House = TAKING PRIDE IN VALUES)! My values are effected by deep emotional friendships and associations...situations where vaules are respectfully shared between people in confidence.

              By using the system of dispositors in your chart you can uncover the Origami of you soul. We all are folded in unique ways, and our houses draw on other houses in unique ways which are not drawn with the easy-to-see lines which depict the aspects of Western astrology. Dispositors of planets and house cusps reveal that, as opposed to simply reading a house at face value. Astrological aspects are not what they
              It is an almost instant way to disover the true circuitry behind how the different parts of your life effect one another ---> i.e. relationships effect work, philosophical beliefs effect the domestic life, income effecting choices of romantic partners, travel effecting the beliefs, etc..

              IN you r 8th House you are getting the stimulus of OTHER PEOPLE'S VALUES...as opposed to simply their personalities (7th House).

                Sorry bout those typos!
                I meant to say at one point: "...aspects are not what they seem". They are more like elements....individual relations in a crowd...vs. the dispositors which are governed by signs and house cusps. Dispositors show us the Big Picture of who we are vs. just looking at houses individually and fragmentally, which is kind limiting and dangerous.

                BTW: This talk of the 8th House makes me gthink of something even deeper. As far as Scorpio and the 8th house being ruled Pluto, well I just don't buy it. Pluto is more liek an asteroid. I don't beleve it has a personal such a personal influence on the individual; I believe it should be use more like Juno, perhaps with some likeness to some of the major planets which are larger ir closer to the earth. As I've said before, I never found a Scorpio who seems like his or her Pluto-sign...although in some cases it could be ture. I think Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Venus, and is the reconcilitaion of Libra's ruler Venus vs Aries' ruler Mars! Therefore the 8th House also has special affinity for these two planets. It is where you experience conflictsof values (Venus) becuase of what other people introduce into your life through conflict (Mars)...

                  Grrrr! I MEANT: as in, Juno is like Venus and also Jupiter, etc.. It is a little body emitting an influence in common with both these Majors. But Juno is still tiny and is there more as a focal point than an emitter.

                      Sherpa:
                      The first of my first 2 of my entries here are responding to "Coors" mentioning the 8th House and her Jupiter and JUNO. I also show some of my latest perceptions about "asteroids vs. planets" in general, using Pluto as an example...since we were on the subject of the 8th House, and therefore Scorpio in general.
                      Finally, still using the 8th House and its Scorpio-rulership issues to make a point about Pluto, I then likened Pluto's significance in the horoscope to be MORE LIKE THAT OF JUNO, asserting that Scoprio's rulership should really be Mars & Venus.

                      And in my last entry, I was saying that Juno's actual influence on a person seems to have some likeness of Venus and Jupiter combined. It has to do with sovereignty/freedom/expansiveness(Jupiter) in relationships(Venus). These were also both planets and issues which"Coors" touched on in her entry....so I considered it to be all tied together, at least in her case.

                      Your response to me seems somewhat sarcastic , and I wonder why, since I always came back to the topic of Juno numerous times througout these posts and it was also the ultimate focus of my last post. (Quite obvious in the end, I think, no?)
                      ...so perhaps you would care to share the true motive behind your "dig" at me?

                      While I can't deny that I have gone "East by going West" in explaining myself, I think it enables one to see as much of the Big Picture as possible before getting to the point.

                        • Sherpa, you are so right about energies. When I get psych patients, I have noticed that they try to drain my energies moreso than my other even more critical patients. I agree with you that it's because their minds drain them by focusing on things that are not healthy. I have been working at setting boundaries with them at work. I want to take care of people equally and not let other more critically ill people suffer due to their histrionics. So, when it gets to be too much, I just call in the social worker to deal with them. It helps me be a better and more productive nurse. Maybe I should do that in my private life, issue a referral, if I feel too emotionally drained by the person.

                          As I said, among other things Juno is, like all asteroids, a focal point for energies which are similar to that of Jupiter and Venus.

                                              Something about the Virgo/Aquarius quincunx. It's a very specific angle. In the natural Aquarius rising chart, Virgo rules the 8th House. One can see this as Virgo acting as "death" to Aquarius, or interpreted in a more civil manner, Virgo acts as a catalyst of change to Aquarius. As you may know, any true catalyst rarely undergoes the changes that it triggers in the catalyzed. The Virgo/Aquarius quincunx symbolizes a fascinating relationship, especially for the usually cool, detached and independent-minded Aquarius.

                                                  I have Moon in Scorpio and Mars in Aries (also a quincunx, interestingly enough), which are the responsible culprits for making me intense/volcanic/abrupt and preoccupied with darkness, strife and symbolic death....in my opinion.

                                                  I am not sure I subscribe to the solar-chart theory....that the Sun sets the house-cusps for us. When I was born I had Cancer on the 8th House cusp, and Virgo made up the bulk of my 9th house....due to Sagittarius Rising. If anything, my relationships with Virgos were somewhat philosophical, or at least prompted ME to be philsophical...and also a desire to travel. In the case of S.O.'s chart, my Sun is in her 9th House and travel is major point between us. I feel the same tug & pull as I did with some of my previous lovers who had Virgo personal planets in my 9th house...except now SHE is the 9th-House person and I am the planet-person. And in the case with my S.O., she gets SO philosophical when I discuss the most mundane things! So by looking in that mirror, I think that this is the same influence which Virgo-ines had on me in the past. I finally found a relationship where the house-placement is reversed, and I am the personal-planet in another person's 9th house.

                                                  Well anyway, my Juno is at 20' Libra and conjunct Uranus in my 10th House with an Orb of 2'....and trine to my Sun with an orb of about 2' also. So basically I have my Sun in Aquarius trine a Juno/Uranus conjunction in Libra. Interesting, huh?

                                                  As I was saying, my 8th House is ruled by Cancer, and therefore disposited by my Moon in Scorpio in the 11th House. My neccessary "death", as you described, comes through associations and friendships and the confidential sharing of Hopes, Dreams and Aspirations. I have become quite fascinated with the fact that my 8th House is ruled by the Moon is in Scorpio, and Scorpio likes the 8th House. It's an interesting loop.

                                                  It IS interesting how you mentioned that synastry planets in the 8th House touch on the meaning of "death" for the 8th House individual. We had discussed my mother's Virgo Mars & Venus, but the truth is her Sun is on the cusp of Leo and Cancer and her Saturn is in Cancer. Therefore she DOES get into my 8th House, like it or not. (Just to clarify her part in this and get it out of the way).

                                                  I think Virgo-types bring ripples into my 9th House, and therefore my PHILSOPHY OF LIFE. If anything, ripples on the surface most directly symbolize DISTORTION. Distortion of my veiws. And there you have it: I feel that Virgo-types DISTORT WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY SOMETIMES!

                                                  Whew! That was deeeeeep.

                            No worries. Not playing dumb; just didn't understand where you we're going or what you were really saying. Maybe my mind works too differently from yours to get the picture you're sending or, trying to send. Again, no big deal. By the way, I'm still interested in your answer to my question:

                            "What does the asteroid Juno represent to you (besides the way it is like all asteroids) ?"

                            Thanks!

                              Awright, so maybe it's that Virgo influence. Kind of a need to have thing spelled out in capital letters in perfect outline-sequence, forest for the trees...because that's EXACTLY what my nutty-buddy does.
                              He gets lost in EXACTLY the same way., and quite frankly, not to sound like I am categorizing you in the SAME BOAT, his obsessiveness with it put him in the Looney Bin twice. That's why I picked up on it. For a long time I thought it was his Scorpio-thing, or maybe that he's a Libra and needs conflict in order to find himself. But no, I think it's the Virgo.

                              I think you could learn alot from Pisces.
            • Coors,

              I hope I attract someone who is evolving in their own positive way and who is self-sufficient, but I am not sure what you mean by finding someone who challenges me The only time I have ever experienced what would seem like a challenge is when the guy is not interested in me. In that case I am not sure that having a person like that in my life would help my self-esteem at all. Have you ever been challenged by someone in a positive way where they challenged you because the man cared about you and wanted to bring out the best in you (not change you), and this being someone you are also sexually atrracted to?

              I wonder if the 8th house represents power struggles in a way, a polarity between the 2nd self-worth and the 8th collective worth. My pluto is in libra and it's inconjunct my 8th house so I think that what I want to find, equality, is difficult for me, because there is no connection to that in my chart, I have a 2nd/8th polarity in my chart between my emotions and what I subconsciously seek/attract/need in a partner. I am not trying to make excuses, I am being honest about where I am evolutionarily. I long for equality but don't know how to achieve it. I am pulled in both directions.

              My T-square of the 2nd/8th gets expressed in the 5th scorpio cusp house. My 5th house sagittarius stellium (collection of planets which include venus/sun/neptune/mercury), however is trapped inside this intercepted house. For my 5th house to be expressed, I have found that my 4th/5th mars in scorpio has to give the planets permission. If my scorpio mars does, I am very successful and my energy is focus. For example, I have always been a good student and employee, very focused. I also enjoy creative expression that is physical such as dancing and communing with nature while hiking, bike riding, etc. A person who loves music always attracts me too. While I enjoy philosophy and travel like most sagittarius's, I need these things to involve physical activity.

              So, I guess when it comes to relationships, if I can't physically connect with the person, I can't truly connect with them emotionally. This doesn't mean just sex necessarily, but I connect more with people who enjoy to dance, to hike, and the outdoors. However, I feel like I have more physical energy than most so it's hard to find a counterpart. What signs do you typically date (I am not talking about just sun, but where do most of their planets tend to lie). For me, it's water signs. Scorpio, cancer, and pisces, in that order. When I was in high school I attracted virgos, but nowadays I rarely attract that sign.
              • Tara, sorry been away for a bit...

                Hmmm I guess what I meant about the "challenging" wasn't that they are cruel or not interested but..just maybe not at an "equal" level of development. Like you said in one of your posts that you looked an equal to be with...I think thats what I was trying to get at. I could always see the ways that I could positively influence the men that I have dated...but I didn't see as much what they had to offer me in return (not that they were not good enough - how could they contribute to my growth). I think maybe I felt that the men who are just as ambitious, well travelled or independent as I am were kind of intimidating...maybe because then a relationship could be something deep and real (terrifying!!Ack).

                I admit I do not know as much about astrology so I can't converse as much on the T-square stuff but it seems very interesting what you have said. And funny enough I do attract a lot of Virgos...I love them. I just haven't met one yet that didn't need a little bit of a kick in the A** to get going though...and no one wants to be the mommy...no offense to Virgos out there!! I find I get along very well in general with Virgos, Scorpios, and Pisces mainly.

                I hope that clarified a bit what I meant above...but when you ask about the attraction piece..its weird I am attracted to lots of people as far as personality but very rarely and I mean VERY rarely do I get sexually attracted to someone. Thats actually part of my problem I think...my Venus in Aquarius wants to be friends with every one but very rarely do I want more.....as I said in my first post - too much weeding maybe. I am not too picky its a more fundamental problem...I just don't even get interested to start analysing it in the first place...wacky.
        • Juno in the 8th in Pisces....

          I see the 7th house and the 8th houses once in union as the princple of wholeness of the feminine psyche, where the underlaying psyche of a woman [8th] is directly addressed and worked out in the her marriage or intimate relationships [7th]. For a long time i have called Pluto a Goddess because it rules Birth, Sex, Death and Transformation or regeneration and Resources. Mother Earth and woman herself are resources that make life possible through not only the choice of giving life to a relationship or its breaking apart of legal issues of right relationship, or the death and transformation and the acts of not only marriage but survival. To me 8th house is very much about, not physical survival but psychic survival. It is here we work out our unconscious and if the 7th house is the Light, then 8th house is its shadow. And of course Jeffery Wolf Greens Pluto books are excellent examples.

          I see the three water signs as different levels of Emotion [Energy in Motion]. Cancer being a Lake, a stillness of the primal need for love and nurturing or its lack of, Scorpio the River, which our psyche must always flow in order to renew and Pisces the Ocean connected to the greater emotional energy in the greater collective or environment.

          Pisces in the 8th displays a great energy of the supporter to deeper social issues, and enourmous lesson of boundaries surrounding money, sex, birth, death for its own renewal. If i were to pick a story it would be persephone and her journey into the Underworld to learn the deeper nature of her soul through karmic knowledge through sexual awakening and its hosts of shada within the soul. In my perspectcive 12th house is the journey within the collective soul and the 8th house is the Soul itself and all that is hidden there. Abuse, sexual energy, money and its issues around power and control. Pisces must make the journey into the 8th with awareness and healthy boundaries. I would first ask, what arena's has this played out in one's family line? Is there any hidden sexual issues in the extended family, or money used as a powerful ways to gain control or lack of boundaries in women, since the two of you have Pisces in the 8th. Is the family matriarchal or patriarchal, who has the power over money or which gender sells their soul for the resources. Juno wants right relationship and must go through each lesson in a marriage or intimate partnership to difine and create healthy boundaries around ones needs. So the wife archetype of Juno may Look away at the Harshness and put the rose colored glasses of Pisces because its just to harsh to look at the depth of the issues. I would look to where your mars is in the chart because if you project your issues the male aspect of the partner would be distorted and where Pluto is and the death of the karma will come to its peak.

          I have a Pisces moon in the Cancer house, so my karma was intimate family issues [in my case my own disempowerment around motherhood,] where when chosing divorce, the ex mother in law and sister in law [both cancers] felt the need to protect my children at the cost of rejecting me and turning my children away from me saying no one divorces in this family so your mother must be bad... in actuality the two really had never resolved their own mother daughter relationship and had a deep psychic wounding to create the same with me and my daughter rather than heal their own mother daughter relationship, they chose projeciton and I was strong enough to take it, transform it and die and find my rebirth... my daughter and i had to work it through and were always close, but the outside influences tested both of our mirrors... we both have pisces moon, she is a Libra in the 11th aquarian house and i an Aquarian in the gemini house... it was regeneration because both my ex, me and my two kids all have scorpio rising. After a 12 year healing journey none of us ended up dead... only symbolic death... wherever the 8th or scorpio is involved there is a death, physical or symbolic, emotional or spiritual.

          So with Pisces in the 8th this connection to the 2nd house of VALUES and SELF ESTEEM is deeply connected to the polarity and there maybe some awakenings when you reach the Uranus opposition around 38 to seek freedom from self bondage and self rejection of the values and self esteem issues that were present in childhood and may still be carrying in the pisces illusion rather than spiritual sacrifice.... or maybe the family secrets becoming exposed to SHATTER ILLUSIONS [a big pisces archetype] that no longer serve your highest good.
  • Interesting thread. I am really late but thought I'd drop a dime.

    My Juno is in Virgo in the first house. I am married to myself, my ideas, my desires, my profanity......me. I realized at a young age that being me was a lonely venture being so head strong. Still head strong but am better able to integrate other people, especially into my dreams. I like laughing at my own jokes, that nobody else gets. Some people think I am shy. Why bother with conversation when there is an eternal one going on in my head with me, about me and for me. I keep me rather entertained.

    My betrayal points are a bit more complicated especially these days. I have started to see that I am a part of everything in my environment and everything is a part of me. Having children can do that for a person. So I would say that anything/anyone that threatens my environment or anyone in it has betrayed me. I am constantly advocating change, justice, and peace. I am a peace warrior. Love the world and love the thyself.

  • Hi sherpa, love your posts. My Juno is also in Aquarius, 29' in the 6th house trine my saturn pluto conjuction in the first trine my MC and north node conjunction, and sextile Netune IC south node conjunction.
    I guess Iam married to my own individual trip(in the universe), involving my health, and the health of the whole(the earth, universe and everything lol), the service I provide as an individual, this is supported by the strength I appear to have in my appearance, which is a transformative yet structured personality, who is aiming for a career, social position to do this and become who Iam destined to be, my past and roots, which have been quite dreamy and spiritual with a lot of karma within the family/ the earth, could help me attain this. Sounds kinda true. but a bit trippy.
  • Unsu...
     
    Juno in Scorpio: The need is for a partner who is intense, strong, and
    a bit secretive. They definitely must be good in bed.

    Again, as with Vesta, this doesn't ring true for me. Intense and strong, yes. Secretive? Never. Good in bed is a plus, but personality and brains have priority for me.

    Juno in the 4th House: This person can be married to their home. Juno in the 4th house can also indicate a need for a partner who is attached to the domestic environment. Another possibility is that you become more of a domestic type after marriage.

    The only part that is probable is that I might become more "domestic" after marriage. I like to keep my "nest" pleasing and in order, but I love being social and I am on the go a lot.
    • Merrick,

      re: "Juno in Scorpio in 4th House"

      You are married to your passions and this sets up a kind of internal prototype for the compatibility evaluation for external relationships. If the potential partner has a problem with your passions -- what you feel strongest about -- the relationship becomes a temporary life form with a very short shelf life. However, if the partner shares your passions, OMG, that's when you'll need to start getting scared about nesting and over-domesticating, as the instinct is strong to live with the partner who shares your passions in life. My 2 sense.

        funny the vertex came up again... i checked it and.....

        my moon is 3 degrees away from my girlfriend vertex, in cancer in her 8th house
        her venus is 4 degrees away from my vertex..... in libra in the 6th house....


        i have juno and vesta in leo in my 4th house.... in between my sun/venus in leo
        i have venus conjunct vesta... sun conjunct juno....

        my vesta is exactly trine her sun (and also trine her uranus and moon)
        my juno is exactly trine her moon (and also trine her sun and uranus)


        her juno is in the 4th house in aries.... her vesta is in 7th house gemini



        so in our relationship... i activate her vertex strongly by conjuncting it
        and she blesses my juno and vesta with trines.......

        i must say though, that she is more affected by me then reversed... i love her much, but she does not have the impact one me , like i have on her...
        this could be because for her its an 8th house connection (With my sun moon venus in there) and for me its more and 7th house one (with her sun moon uranus there)

  • Sherpa, I kind of feel that way with my Juno in Gemini conjunct N.Node-all in my 9th house as well.

    Alt, I think the key word is "uncommitted". I have no doubt that theory may be true, but I think it is more representative of what, in most people's eyes, would be the dark side of Juno. If Juno deals with sexual fidelity then SEXUAL infidelity of course has to be related to Juno. Marriage, however, has historically not been defined by love or sex but money, protection, and ownership. Since that is true, Juno does really deal with commitment because even though many a marriages from the beginning of time have been wrought with sexual infidelity, lack of love, lack of sex, and even violence, most married couples choose to keep their contracts intact. Now to the opposite point, I think certain sexually intense relationships and/or love affairs have been a lot more committed, happy and long lasting than those based on money and protection and ownership, etc. And one can obviously see why. As Juno's position in the sky changes we are seeing societies and individuals re-defining their ideas of "commitment". I think I have some insight on this due to my Chiron conj. Juno aspect.
    • UranusPisces,

      I think you may have interpreted my theory of Juno too literally. Though the ancient mythology of Juno addresses conventional marriage, sexual infidelity, betrayal and vengeance, I see the astrological symbol more tied to an archetype of internal marriage and the conditions required to sustain that union without self-betrayal.

      Natal Juno may have little or nothing to do with sexuality or marriage to an external partner. It can also symbolize other types of union. Examples include: Juno in Virgo or 6th house is a person married to their work. Juno in Cancer or 4th House can indicate a stong union or "marriager" to one's genetic family. Some people are married to themselves (1st House or Aries) or to their community (Aquarius or 11th House).

      I think the literal relationship with sexuality and marriage can apply with Juno in Libra or Scorpio (or 7th and 8th Houses) but other than that, I think it would be a mistake to overlook the archetype of the internal marriage and the insight that can give to the type of external relationships that are most compatible with you (these will be the relationships that are supportive or or in harmony with the conditions of your internal marriage).

      This is an unconventional theory that you will not read about in astrology books. You may have to study and examine it more thoroughly via multiple charts over some time to start seeing the patterns I am refering to. This is how I have come to see it after reading over a thousand charts in my practice.
  • My Juno is 27* 10th house Capricorn. I'd like to see if I could get the forms together and have them signed to start a legal separation. Where would I file these? ~I'm kidding. I find this placement fitting and it makes sense. I just recently started to look at asteroids in my chart. Juno is ambitious and about work for me to say it plainly.
    ~Taryn
  • Natal Juno is in capricorn in 5th house. Maybe this is why work is simply not work when it comes to 'working' as a musician. hmmm..I'm losing this a little.
    Capricorn in the house of fun feels a little strange here. well, Capricorn technically rules my 6th house.

    transiting juno is now conjunct natal pluto within 1*...

    i should go and clear my head for a bit..
    • re; "Natal Juno is in capricorn in 5th house."

      Married to your Art and the creative processes that get you there. Juno's sign indicates the conditions of the internal marriage contract and Capricorn is all about discipline, practice, method, setting goals for gigs and making it happen. Natal Juno in capricorn in 5th house is about taking fun seriously; serious fun.
      • Yeah, you know I think my Juno in Leo in the 7th, sextile Mercury in Libra in the 9th, (Mercury rules my Gemini 5th), is also translating to "married to my art" because my art has been my only "constant partner." I have forgone many an offer to partner up with someone who just didn't appreciate me as an artist or share the same path as I travel. Being taken seriously on ALL LEVELS is what I want from a partner.
      • But with regards to music and playing it. I feel that capricorn juno in 5th relates to the traditional rituals found in the creation of music. I'll never and have never been as experimental as other musicians I know though I can be very versatile and creative with the different genres. I believe in practice, practice, practice (no practice means no improvement means a lousy time on stage) and not simply 'just rocknroll, dude'. yet I often have fun, in fact it's far more fun when you know what and how to play rather than just standing against the wind and not know what's going on and instead just 'go with the flow'. I've had long debates about different approaches to music with friends. Often my views come across as rigid and traditional/conservative but it got me where I am today as a player and I won't change the way I work although it can be improved on.

        That is at once 'serious' fun and also very fun to be serious!

        However, would betrayal issues then mean changing the way I approach my art as I always have to one of a more random approach? With reference to the debates on how one should approach music and be a better player -(and granted, to each his own way), a steady, progressive traditional approach is not so bad. Yet I feel incensed whenever friends suggests that I have more fun in playing gigs and not take rehearsals or practice so seriously. But why not! Afterall, it's how you get paid and it's how you improve. and who says no fun is involved?!

        ok. Im straying here and Im getting worked up. But I think I've answered this question a little better now.
        • Boy, I agree with you on your approach to music, Jacqueline! LOL!

          It is sooo important to put practice first so you can enjoy the outcome when it is important to have fun, which is when you perform! I am actually both seriously focused and fun loving at practice so long as we are moving towards improvement all along the way. I get VERY serious and irritated if practice becomes too lax because it spells disaster later when you're on the stage.

          But I'll admit we also tell jokes and crack each other up throughout our entire rehearsal! LOL! I think that is due to Mercury ruling my Gemini 5th and in Libra in the 9th house. At the end of the day, I look for quality in both what we've accomplished musically, and in how we relate to one another and make each other feel personally.

          I have Gemini rulling my 5th, but Capricorn on my ascendant and Saturn is in my 1st house. My credo is this: Work first to master the music. Then have fun when you've learned it and can play it in your sleep!

          Fortunately, I also have Jupiter in the 1st house in Pisces to temper the tendency towards rigidness with Saturn 1st house/Capricorn rising. Venus is also conjunct Neptune in the 9th and this also helps take the edge off, even though it is in Scorpio! LOL!

          I think that with Juno in Leo in the 7th sextile to Mercury and square to my MC that I really need to be able to communicate with and connect to an appreciative audience. I think that betrayal would be felt or perceived as being a rejection from the audience of what I am offering them, or a denial of having an audience in the first place. I really think that Leo Juno feels the burden of "delivering the goods" very keenly. I spend a great deal of time working on what I think would be music worthy of an audience before I ever leave my house in search of a stage to offer it up.
  • I just recently started learning about Juno since I started playing around in my 8th house. I have Juno in the 8th in Aries, it trines my ascendant, and it sits conjunct in between with my Mars in Aries and my Mercury in Taurus, and squaring Jupiter. It feels like most things described by this Juno placement are readily present to me because of my mars/venus in aries in the 8th as well, so does this just mean I get a double whammy of that?

    Juno in Aries: The partner will tend to be fiery, aggressive, assertive, and active. Grass doesn't grow under their feet.
    Juno in the 8th House: You need a Sex Machine for a partner. Since the 8th house rules the partner's possessions, well, they may regard you as a possession (especially if there are stress aspects). Marriage and partnership can also help you to reconstruct or transform yourself (whether you want to or not).

    My greatest transformations come during and after relationships, this I always just atributed to having my Venus in opposition to Pluto. While I don't necessarily feel I need a "sex machine" for a partner, I do need somone who can match my emotional and physical intensity.
