My own mother once said it can be hard to look at your child and see your worst faults. Which is funny as she seemed to spend a lot of time saying, "you're just like your father", and I'm not sure it was meant as a compliment. 
But I know what she means. When my elder son was in the womb I said to the doctor: that kid is going to be bone idle ~ like his mother. He couldn't be bothered to kick. And sure enough....
So maybe with some of the same aspects, that reflects the way you can look at your daughter and see things about her she inherits off you that aren't so great.
If that's something you got by nurture there is a chance you can turn it around. For example, my mother said that the one things she didn't want us to inherit was her low self-esteem. I think that was pretty much instilled into her by nurture not nature, so she made sure not to do that, so hats off to my old Ma, she worked hard at that and did a good job.
Venus in Aries ~ why is that the worst one? Some people with that placement on Lindaland might disagreee with you. It's traditionally not a strong sign for Venus, but it doesn't mean a life of romantic doom.
Both my mother and the son mentioned have Saturn Conjunct my Sun. It's the kind of aspect you would expect in family relationships, where duty and responsibility are involved and the personal expression of the Sun has to adapt to this ~ it's not necessarily bad, it could mean you both work to make that balance together to get you through life.
I have a book by Stephanie Jean Clement called Mapping Your Family Relationships and this is what she says about tense aspects between the Sun and Saturn:
quote:
On a practical level you are called upon to help each other in critical situations. Both of you can stand on your own two feet most of the time but you occasionally must care for each other in physical or emotional crises. It's the times between when you develop trust that carries you through in difficult times.
Are you by any chance in a role where you take a lot of responsiblity for parenting on your own?
My husband works away from home a lot, so for me that is a large part of what Sun CNJ Saturn is about with my boy. But he's a good boy. I look after him now, I can see he is going to be the type who will take responsibility for looking after me tomorrow. Every family has one. Not that I expect him to, but I can just imagine it. Just like if I need help, my mother will be on the doorstep with her pinny. We might argue like the devil, but we are there for each other when it matters. That's Sun/Saturn in action in families, it's not necessarily bad so don't worry about it.
