I have my Venus in Scorpio opposite her Saturn in Taurus: Her Venus in Pisces is opposite my Saturn in Virgo....
Our communication often feels like an Impasse

positives:
but there can maturity,commitment,perseverance,patience in love/relationship. It can be a relationship that gets better with age,experience as well as good with dealing with responsibilities.

according to page 190 of THE ASTROLOGY OF THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

The comparative combination indicates cold, emotionally distant relationships. The natives are not voluntarily attracted to each other, although circumstances may force them into an association. In some cases, the association is based on ulterior motives, such as gaining money and status, rather than on genuine friendship and affection.

The Venus individual is likely to regard the Saturn individual as cold,harsh,unfeeling,insensitive,and disciplinarian. The Saturn individual may regard the Venus individual as lazy,superficial, and irresponsible.

This combination is not good for parent-child relationships because of the emotional distance and lack of understanding which it engenders. In social relationships, this combination tends to make for stiff, formal interactions. It is more suited to businesss and professional partnerships,providing both natives are mature enough to act in an honest,responsible way.

If you are with someone for many years you get used to working with the parts of your personalities that don't co-exist in natural harmony.

I'm guessing this must be one of them ~ I'd have to think how this manifests itself. Actually he has Sun conjunct Saturn ~ the aspect of the self-made man. A workaholic and an idler (Venus, that would be me) ~ that sounds about right. We have learned to tolerate each other in this regard. But it's just one piece of the jigsaw.

of course the rest of the synastry has to be taken into account as well as both natal charts.

Both are immigrants who have risen from humble positions to authority. The old fella is retired now, but he relishes any chance to get out his briefcase and take charge.

Do I have a thing about older men in authority, nah.

for oppositions, orbs less than 8 degrees are usually used.. so .. Aag's venus in 18 Scorp can only be opposed by Taurus from 10 deg to 26 deg to really have a strong affect

Mars conjunct Uranus
This comparative combination indicates dynamic, interesting, but potentially explosive relationships. A good deal of sexual attraction is apparent here. You are apt to encourage each other's more impulsive urges and rash behavior. The Mars individual is fascinated by the eccentric and unpredictable Uranus. Any attempt to boss each other around simply won't work with this combination, as you both are strongly independent and you will not yield to each other.
