Venus Opposition Aspects for Each Planet in the Natal Astrology Chart

When Venus is in opposition to another planet in your natal astrology chart, you can feel pulled in two different directions. Typically, oppositions with Venus affect your relationships, how you relate to beauty and style, your spending, and your relationship to pleasure.

An opposition means that the two bodies are about 180° apart in the circular astrology chart. Depending on who you ask, an orb of anywhere from 5° to 10° is acceptable for a Venus opposition. The orb of allowance simply means the amount any aspect, including an opposition, can be off from exact and still be valid.

Natal Venus Opposition Aspects in Astrology

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Sun

It’s not possible for Venus to be opposite the Sun in a natal astrology chart.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Moon

When your Moon, the seat of your emotional security, nurturing, and intuition, is opposite your Venus natally, you may have a hard time finding comfort in relationships. You might feel uneasy around people or believe that people simply don’t like you. In turn, this makes you shy, which makes people wonder if you don’t like them. This form of social anxiety can prevent you from creating deeper relationships, both romantic and platonic.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Mercury

Venus also cannot be opposite Mercury in a natal chart.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Mars

This aspect makes it likely that your anger and passion can cause you problems in relationships. There is an imbalance between your desires. Perhaps you disrupt or scare partners with angry outbursts. Or your passion for friends and lovers is so great that you can’t contain yourself and you find yourself feeling jealous and possessive in different situations.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Jupiter

When the abundance of Jupiter is sitting opposite to the sweetness of Venus, things aren’t all bad. You probably love to go all out on whatever you put your mind to, especially when it comes to enjoying yourself. However, the hard side of this is that you don’t manage your money properly and you probably don’t have a realistic view of what is actually possible when it comes to fun and love. So, you have grandiose ideas and have trouble executing them.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Saturn

Saturn is not all about restriction. It can also be about commitments. With it sitting opposite your Venus, you may notice you are slower to develop romance than other people in your peer group. Perhaps you are a late bloomer, or you moved around a lot and couldn’t develop relationships. You would prefer to be in a committed relationship, but your standards are so high and exacting that you may find yourself in exactly the types of casual relationships you don’t like. Work on opening your heart and being okay with vulnerability to let someone into your life.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Uranus

There is a lot of tension between your desire for independence and excitement and your desire for intimacy with natal Venus opposite natal Uranus. You may even fear that getting into a more serious relationship will take away your independence and power. However, once you find the partner that supports your independence and eccentricity rather than stifling it, this aspect can become easier.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Neptune

When Venus is opposite to Neptune in your birth chart, you tend to view relationships through a dreamy lens, but in a way that is not helpful to you. Either you ignore red flags and get into dangerous situations, or you let people take advantage of you because of the boundaryless nature of Neptune. You are an intuitive person in some ways, but your intuition about romantic interests is often wrong, at least in terms of who they truly are. Also, you’re likely very creative but it can be hard for you to manifest your creative visions.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Pluto

When Venus opposes Pluto natally, you are drawn towards relationships that lead to transformation in your life, but they are usually tumultuous, especially in your younger years. You are attracted to charismatic people who are manipulative or even abusive. And you must be careful that you are not the one committing these acts either. You view relationships through a lens of power and that is not easy for you. However, with some mindfulness, you can overcome your difficulties in relationships.

Natal Venus Opposite Natal Chiron

You deeply desire intimate connection, but those connections tend to trigger your greatest wounding as well. So, it feels hard for you to be in relationships, but the more you are in relationships, the greater healing and awareness you gain around your wounds.
