So, I’d say to get funding from government would mean that they'd look "favourably" on you.

And so, your Jupiter/Venus must aspect transiting Saturn and/or Pluto positively. i.e:

With Venus, make sure that you look your best and practice speaking eloquently and with confidence. If you dress well and play on your looks, you may even catch the eye of someone influential who’ll look at you favourably and help make things happen. Mind your manners.

Venus/Pluto sextile/trine- easy aspects have a “no hard feelings” to them. Very good. Even when you pay them back, the structure of the payment period is reasonable.

Venus/Pluto conjunction can seem “beneficial” at first. They may lend you more money than you thought and seem to like your idea from the get go, but should you be unable to pay it back, the recourse can be surprisingly severe.

This aspect has a strong obsessive quality and they definitely will not go easy on you, should you default on your payments.

Venus/Pluto square is uphill all the way. Go prepared and you may just bowl over the person that you have to impress.

If you are not prepared, they will find fault with everything; from how you look, your dress, your voice, your approach etc.

Be careful of the man who has to “okay” everything, he/she may have an axe to grind and so, don’t take it too personally.

Venus /Pluto opposition will try to over-ride your intentions. If, say, the idea is good and they want to help finance it, they may look to “tweak” or “change” things in order to get things more in line with their intentions. Be careful, as they may have you sign an agreement that serves to benefit them more than you in the long term.

With Saturn, the above said is a little different. The “boss” may not be so easy to impress and likely to be someone highly experienced, older and very exacting.

The “looks” thing may not have enough of the effect, but sincerity and a very detailed, well laid out plan will charm their socks off; even if you struggle to get any facial expression.

Venus/Saturn easy aspects are nice; they are promising that you will make an impression.

Venus/Saturn conjunction aspect are a double edged sword; the individual may like you a whole lot, but give you a hard time because they want to see you sweat.

Prepare well and be prepared to answer difficult questions that you may not altogether “pass”. But with preparation, the opportunity for approval is guaranteed.

Venus/Saturn square aspects are difficult. If you are the type to be easily discouraged, you may have to grow a thicker skin. You may have to go through knocking many doors; even if your idea is good and preparation is done. The “boss” may be weary of giving you the green light and a break is long-coming.

Venus/Saturn opposition aspects are also difficult. Watch out for demoralizing tactics by the person/people you are presenting to.

Also, the “boss” may be a bit of a control freak and wanting you to do things in a specific way before handing over their approval. You may have to make a lot of compromises to impress them.

With Jupiter, the feel is rather different;

Jupiter/Pluto easy aspects (trine/sextile) : You will feel like you are both on the same level: That you both understand instinctively where the other is coming from.

The “loan officer”/ “boss” may be more swayed by your character and personal ambitions than anything else. Sincerity here is a must. If you do this, there will be little red tape.

Jupiter/Pluto conjunctions are very beneficial. You will seem transparent to the people you are presenting to and also coming with good intentions.

Again sincerity is emphasized here as people are more likely to be sold by your ethical character than anything else.

Jupiter/Pluto oppositions are tricky. Sure it’s a good aspect and you two hit it off. But there may be disagreements as to “how much” is lent (maybe it’s too little or waaay too much and additional interest is charged).

Also watch out for any confusion with regards to the nature of the business/ misunderstandings. There is likelihood that there could be an over-stating of things or some form of “small” misrepresentation that, in the long run, may end up jeopardizing the nature of the agreement in the first place.

Look out for the interest in paying your loan back it may be too high or there may be clauses therein the contracts that do not serve you at all.

Natal Jupiter aspecting transiting Saturn has a differing effect;

Jupiter/Saturn easy aspects means that the “boss” or “loan officer” will have faith in you and it won’t be shrouded by unclear judgment. Be yourself and relax. You’ll be great.

Jupiter/Saturn conjunction means that the “boss” or “loan officer” will have faith in you (much like the first) , but here they may feel like they are taking a “leap of faith”. If you are presenting an unconventional idea, this may be your lucky day to get that idea approved with lots of cash.

Jupiter/Saturn square means that the “boss” will turn your idea inside out to test how strongly you believe that it’ll work.

They like you, but they want to be clear that you know what you are doing. There may be challenges with getting the loan approved; even if there are small impediments in the way. Be patient and stand firm in the belief of your business.

Jupiter/Saturn opposition you may feel like you are not being “heard” or taken seriously enough. Your idea may be rejected, not because it is “bad”, but because the person on the other side may feel like there are too many similar ideas like yours that did not pan out in the past. Don’t give in so easily and resist being patronized. Emphasize why your idea will work, but be careful still, as there are opposition to it may be great.

Watch for transiting Mars/ natal Mercury Square aspects on that day; you may be so eager to close the deal (should you succeed) that reading the fine print may not appeal to you especially when your natal Mercury is in Fire/Water.
