Juno defines where you seek commitment, harmony and balance. It helps understand where you balance the need for commitment and intimacy with personal freedom and can help you identify the kind of marriage partner you attract or how you perceive their qualities. In many ways it explains your own behaviour within committed relationships and the path you walk to bring physical expression towards spiritual understanding within the union.

Juno in Aries: You need to express your strength and your independence within a commitment and you are likely to experience a form of competition with mates and partners. You see your partners as viable opponents, comrades and fellow pioneers and need to feel their enthusiasm for your quests and adventures. You tend to be the dominant one within relationships and work on expressing your creative power and imagination through role-playing and the balance of harmony. You work through your intimate expressions with a dedication to surmounting new plateaus of understanding, physical experience and vibrancy. You often grapple with the concepts of commitment-independence wanting one and then the other until you are comfortable both in pursuing your own needs and experiences and allowing your partner to venture their own path.

Juno in Taurus: Your ideal of commitment is steady, dedicated, grounded and loyal. You want a solid and harmonious union that can stand the test of time. You are not particularly adventurous as a partner but enjoy sensual pleasures that are created by true bonds and shared goals. You see your partners as supplying the strength and the support to your life. You are dedicated and faithful when you invest your heart and expect the same of your lover. You can be possessive and controlling and/or attract those qualities in a mate. The thought of independence can often scare you as it applies to both commitment and freedom and is an area that you will tend to focus on as you share your life with a partner. You hold a very solid and unmoveable ideals around commitments and are willing to stand for them.

Juno in Gemini: Your ideal commitment is versatile, active and involves a heavy exchange of ideals, thoughts and camaraderie. You are likely to use a platform of friendship to cement bonds and see your partner as an independent spirit capable of pursuing their own needs and ideas likewise you have a need to be able to follow your thoughts and dreams and pursue them through various activities and friendships. You can suddenly grow nervous and high strung when aspects of partnerships seem unclear or lose their 'fit'. Communication on both sides is an important component to work at and allows misunderstandings to be cleared before they can cause trouble.

Juno in Cancer: Your ideal partnership is one of safety, traditions and nurturing. You like to care for and be cared for. You tend to attach emotionally and/or attract the same from partners. You commit with body, heart and soul to unions and very much take on the wounds and needs of your partner often to their dismay. You can need a lot of attention and are prone to feeling invalid or unfulfilled if you are not supplying your own emotional needs and independence. Personal independence (either your own or your partners) can leave you feeling insecure and is an area that needs to be fortified. Your love is unending and protective and usually eternal.

Juno in Leo: You need an emotional, dramatic and fulfilling partner who can express himself with style and genuine feeling. You create a regal setting for commitments and are generous, generally devoted and loving. You enjoy feeling special and being treated with care and dignity and return the efforts without second thought. Your attachment to a partnership is secure as long as you feel appreciated and not taken for granted. You like being seen and letting others know your commitments and your partners. You see your mate as the 'king'....strong and protective with high ideals and vision. If he falls short you can feel abandoned or disillusioned. You seldom turn back once you have made an emotional decision regarding a partnership.

Juno in Virgo: You need a commitment that is structured, steady and supportive. You expect a mate to help you heal both personal wounds and their own wounds through the interactions and through the union itself. You have high ideals of virtue and loyalty and hold them for yourself as well as for your partner. You need to feel appreciated in your efforts to keep the bond vibrant and you are not afraid to invest the work that makes a commitment long lasting and viable. You are supportive and expect to be supportive. You balance intimacy with freedom by focusing on your job, work or career goals and do not tolerate being pulled from your sense of duty and obligation. You expect your partner to hold his own responsibilities up first and foremost.

Juno in Libra: Your ideal partnership is refined, romantic and physically and verbally expressive. You need a mate who is balanced, artistic and even-tempered. You tend to see your partner as being the centring factor of your world and learn to balance your own needs, desires and thoughts with your love of outer harmony and peace. You learn to honour your strong spirit without repressing your style while embracing and enjoying the differences you share and the spark of life that creates both friction and ease between you and your partner. You want and will seek out a certain equality within your relationships and you cannot tolerate injustice or unfairness. Your mate will also tend to be poetic and noble, with intelligence and gentleness.

Juno in Scorpio: You require a mate who is passionate, loyal, attentive and strong. Your greatest work is done in the area of independence and possessiveness learning that personal freedom does not weaken the bond nor the level of trust that grows through time and faith. Your long-term partners will tend to be both penetrating and controlling, sensual and magnetic and will usually be quiet and secretive rather than overtly mysterious or powerful. Partners can tend to be demanding and high maintenance and loyalty and trustworthiness are ongoing issues and growing fields. Sexuality is an important playing field for relationship growth and understanding and must never be used as a tool of battle but rather as a committed way to explore the unions of hearts and bodies.

Juno in Sagittarius: Your mate will tend to be liberal and outspoken, philosophical and competitive. You see your relationships as joyful Mecca's to explore the delights of the world and both demand and give personal freedom and independence. You balance a need to experience life on your own terms with sharing your ideals and visions with your life partner. Spiritual horizons are areas to explore together and provide a sense of competition and shared camaraderie that can strengthen your commitment to one another. Your mate is likely to have an avid interest in sports, competitions, law, philosophy, spirituality or the outdoors. This is shared ground that can help you build towards the future and keeps the relationship lively and renewed.

Juno in Capricorn: Your ideal partner will be somewhat conservative, with an ability to uphold responsibilities and obligations. You have strong beliefs and principals attached to unions and committed relationships and will believe in loyalty, trust and security. Your partner may be somewhat reserved and find it hard to express emotions or you may play that role yourself in your partnerships. You tend to wait before committing but generally have long lasting unions that grow stronger as time passes. You are likely to experience 'young love' later in life and may marry relatively late. You have an earthy and grounded sexuality that is exciting and captivating to your mate.

Juno in Aquarius: Your mate will tend to be freedom oriented, progressive, friendly rather than passionate, insecure in personal and romantic expressions and concerned with ideals and progress. Likewise you tend to react with spontaneity and impulsiveness within your committed relationships and are distressed at the thought of losing personal independence and freedom. You need a friend, a comrade and someone who can at least understand your need for constant new ideas, mental challenges and altruistic goals. Equality is an important word to you and is an area that will capture your focus and your attention as you learn to adjust to working together towards shared causes. Your relationships will tend to be trendsetters and unique in some obvious way setting them apart from the traditional forms of commitments.

Juno in Pisces: Your partners will tend to be imaginative and poetic dreamers. They are feeling and emotional beings who are likely to have difficulties adjusting to what feel like the harsh realities of the world. In the same manner you can be emotional and attached to your partners and use your commitments as safe haven that shelters you from the environment. You need to balance your ability to love unconditionally with self-love and self-faith. Commitments are spiritual fields that allow you to tap into both your inner resources of visions, feelings and intuitions. You seek security and inner peace through your intimate interactions.

I also have a trine of Juno to my Ascendant, which can mostly be interpreted as either benefilcial or problematic -- as in "I win... I lose."

quote:

---

Juno - Asc
The relatedness principle combines with the outer expression of personality. This person will have a tendency to define herself by the kinds of relationships she experiences. In relationship, the Ascendant personality takes over the Juno personality, becase Juno identifies herself so deeply with the relationship, she becomes lost within it (In a very similar manner to Juno/Sun). There is a compulsion to assist the ascendant personality in any way possible to achieve his goals, even when that means sacrifice for the Juno personality. The ascendant is not likely to appreciate this assistance, taking it for granted as part of the relationship, and unless there are trines or sextiles to support it, resentments can build on both sides.

Juno in the 7th House: This simply increases the need for a marriage or partnership. Those things will tend to be the cornerstone of your life.

Even better!

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. 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.

Juno Aspects Pluto: Partners will tend to be intense and secretive. Sex can be volcanic. Pluto is the planet of extremes, death, and transformation. Either your power or that of your partner will be affected by marriage. One of you is likely to be transformed in some way. The harmonious aspects (sextile and trine) can bring out a strength you never thought you had. The stressful aspects (conjunction, square, and opposition) will bring out strength too, in the form of dictatorial attitudes and power struggles. One of you will try to dominate the other. The feelings towards the partner can easily go from "I love you" to "I hate you" to "I'm obsessed with you." Even if the two of you break up, this will be the partner you never forget (for better or worse).

Mine is Capricorn 2nd house, Whoppee.
Opposite my Moon.
a Grounded Earthy Sexuality, that's me. I have been told I'm sexy but in a non threatening girl next door sort of a way. I always wanted to be exotic with black hair and green eyes.
But I am a good mate and mate for life. I don't have any problems with that for some reason. 2nd house makes for a cold partner, or one who is hard. I used to attract that type and put up with it. I am lucky to know a good thing now, it took so long to find out what I wanted, but I found out. Warm Blooded and but secure and dependable.

To give you a couple of examples....
I had a six year relationship that started when transiting Juno was conjunct my Moon & Chiron (4th house). At that time I also had transiting NN, Chiron & Venus in my 7th house.

Had a two year relationship when transiting Juno had just crossed over my Desc and NN (7th house). Also had transitng NN conjunct natal Moon (4th house) at that time.

Met someone else when transiting Juno was conjunct my natal Juno. This didn't turn into a relationship - he pursued me for quite a while but was married and I wasn't going to go there! (interestingly enough he was a Scorp - and my natal Juno is in Scorp)

A 12 year relationship started when transiting Juno had just crossed my Desc & NN (7th house). Plus also transiting Saturn was conjunct my Moon & Chiron (4th house). Actually there was a lot of other stuff going on in my chart at this time.

I have been comparing notes with Bissie re Juno transits and we were both quite amazed by them. I've only just started to look at Juno transits so don't know too much about them but certainly it does seem to be making some interesting aspects at the time relationships start. I haven't looked at many charts re this but it would be interesting to do that to see the affects.

Can you remember dates when you started any relationships? Check out your natal and transit chart at www.astro.com to see where transiting Juno was at that time. I'd be interested to see how it works for you(or maybe doesn't) and also in other people's charts.

When I first met Mr. Leo, I had Juno, the Sun, Saturn and Jupiter all in my 9th house Venus was conjuncting my Moon in the 7th house and Pluto was conjuncting my Venus in my 3rd house. The moon was in Scorpio conjuncting my Neptune in the 3rd house.

He had Juno conjuncting his Venus, with the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn in his 2nd house. The moon was also conjuncting his Neptune in his 7th house. At that time Neptune was also conjuncting his moon his 10th house.

I never noticed the number of moon-neptune and venus aspects / transits from that time. We first met and it was electric, but neither of us did anything about it. The second time, it was like some kind of spell (Neptune) that drew us together.

What is also interesting is that my Sun, and Venus fall into his 8th house, while my Saturn and moon fall into his 12th house. In the same respect, his Saturn falls into my 8th house and his Venus conjuncts my MC.

The juno placements are also kind of cool. His Juno is within 7 degrees of my Sun in my 4th house and my Juno is within 8 degrees of his Moon, conjuncting his MC.

I have a similiar question. My natal Juno is in Taurus and my husband's is in Scorpio. My natal sun, neptune, mercury, jupiter and venus are all in Scorpio. That's a bad opposition for us I suppose?

About the Juno transits - I checked out a few dates. My husband and I met in April 1994 and married June 21 2003. Both times Juno was in Scorpio!I had no idea. Interesting.

So this is a let's learn about Juno together string.

Please post your own experiences re Juno contacts in you and your partner/s charts and especially what transiting Juno was doing when you started a relationship with someone.....plus when you ended a relationship with someone as Juno can be not only when we start relationships but also when we end them.

And another person also shared their Juno transits - "I have had 3 major loves in my life. Each one corresponded to a Juno conjunction to my Venus. I met my first love, married my husband, and met my last love when Juno reached Venus. Juno cycles are about every 5 years".

Natally I have Juno conj. Saturn. According to some astologer (I'm pretty sure it was Bob Marks) it is one of those "thou shalt not marry before Saturn return, or else..." and that the partner is actually or spiritually older. I have to agree with both.

Transits.
Met him at work interview. Juno conj. MC
Marriage: (just realized the event chart has Pluto conj. MC :O )
Juno conj his nJuno
Nothin noticable for me.
