MEANING

Juno in the horoscope gives a good indication of the kind of marriage partner that we need and will get. Not the partner we think we want (those are ruled by Venus and Mars), but the one we need and actually wind up with. Let's get things straight here before we go into the details about Juno in your horoscope. Venus and Mars show what we consider to be our ideal man or woman. The 5th house describes the type of people we tend to get involved with romantically. The 7th house tells us the kind of person our first marriage partner will be (and the 9th house describes our 2nd marriage partner, if any). Juno works on a more fundamental level.

======================================================================================================

"Juno is the asteroid of the C-word: committed partnership.

Earlier than the classical period, Juno, or Hera in the Greek, was one of the tripartite Moon Goddesses who ruled quite alone. Her marriage to Jupiter, or the Greek Zeus, was the mythological record of her absorption into the victors’ theology. Small wonder that husband and wife are always fighting.

Where Vesta uses sexuality in a way that allows her to stay complete unto herself, Juno is after "Heiro gamos", or sacred marriage. Her placement shows more specifically than Venus’ does how one expresses the desire to be a significant other, no matter what the sexual orientation. A person with Juno in Capricorn would prefer a relatively conventional marriage; Juno in Scorpio would lead a person to place more importance on the sexual bond than on the legal aspect of union. Actual engagements and weddings and moving-in-togethers and divorces often correspond to Juno transits. Zip Dobyns finds that synastric connections of Juno make her clients think of marriage even when nothing else in the comparison would seem to indicate it.

Juno is the one among the four asteroid goddesses who represented steadfast loyalty to relationship-for-the-sake-of-relationship. It is she who offers the teaching for modern spouses trying to find ways to live as a unit without losing themselves in co-dependency. Like all the lunar deities, Juno had three facets: in this case, the maiden, the bride and the widow, which described the cyclical state of a committed union. In the myths, we see Juno and Jupiter separating for some reason, usually an infidelity of his; she goes into solitude or a wandering phase, then she bathes herself in the sacred spring, and goes right back into the relationship. This asteroid is about the natural rhythm there is in uniting with and separation from and reuniting with a mate.

It is possible to read Juno as being merely about bridal showers and couples counseling. But looking beneath this level, we find a more subtle perspective on committed partnership.

To understand the archaic inner face of Juno it may be necessary to dispense altogether with the modern term “wife”, and resurrect the ancient notion of a consort. Giving this asteroid both Scorpio and Libra rulership, ........ Juno represents the concept of a union of intimate equals: the craving to fully merge with another human being in order to find the perfect balancing of masculine and feminine energies. On a secular level, this could be seen as the mutual respect and support a happily married couple would have for one another’s work, emotional well-being and creative projects, as well as their commitment to mutual pleasure in bed. On a spiritual level it could be seen as committed lovers in meditation, exploring the psychic sharing and the raising of the kundalini life-force that transpires in conscious sex, as practiced in Eastern tantric traditions. Ultimately, Juno’s goal is not the marriage itself but the ego transcendence the marriage can offer. Though pleasure may be part of it, this kind of coupling has more to do with religious ecstasy. The union becomes a means to get beyond the separateness of the self by joining forces with another at the deepest levels–the original meaning of the heirogamos –leading to healing and spiritual consummation.

The distorted expression of Juno stems from the skewed power relationships in the institution of marriage or its facsimile.

Infidelity and the anger it inspires, jealousy and possessiveness and sexual rivalry all are potentials of dark Juno. Where there is the kind of dependency in a relationship such as the traditional wife has upon her husband, or where one partner keeps a vow of monogamy that the other does not keep, the pathology of Juno may rear its head. Greek legend is full of stories of Hera wreaking havoc on the lives of Zeus’ lovers and their children.

People in whose charts Juno is strong have a special sensitivity to the double standard, and by extension, to the underdog in relationships where there is a power imbalance, as is the case with abused children.

There are karmic issues being worked out in your primary connections, and suffering or victimization may be involved. Significant relationships may also occur within an institutional setting.

Juno’s placement by sign speaks of the approach a woman should take in empowering herself from the inside out. Positive facets of Juno’s sign will describe how she effectively asserts herself, as well as which positive attitudes and strengths she adopts to make an impact on her world. The negative traits of Juno’s sign manifest as frustration in empowerment, and they take a decidedly destructive bent. In a male’s chart, Juno’s sign describes the traits he finds appropriate in a mate or a partner. It also symbolizes what he may complain about in a mate, when he is less than accepting of his own anima.

In a WOMAN’S chart

JUNO in ARIES shows leadership potential; she’s a warrior with a purpose. Failure to embrace her innate sense of competence can show as inappropriate anger or hair-trigger temper, or a command to others to follow her lead even though her behavior may be less than inspiring.

JUNO in TAURUS offers stability and sustenance to others, and exhibits a facility for earning and artisanal pursuits. She’s in danger of caring too much about things, or of hoarding or competing materially.

JUNO in GEMINI is a networker, adept at handling and disseminating information, and in connecting others; unfulfilled energies show as gossip and an inability to stick to the subject.

JUNO in CANCER, empowered, nurtures in a multitude of forms. Disempowered, one clings and manipulates through feeling.

JUNO in LEO shines through the identity, acting as example and illuminator. When working the negative, this Juno is too vain to be of aid to others.

JUNO in VIRGO glories in the details, in organization, in the harvest; on the down side, she may nitpick and communicate only through criticism.

JUNO in LIBRA works with others and emphasizes fairness, but when dysfunctional, she may be passive-aggressive or patently unfair (but with a pretty smile).

JUNO in SCORPIO finds her element in the depths of the Soul and of experience. Her negative outlet may be destruction that doesn’t discriminate.

JUNO in SAGITTARIUS is a pioneer, but always with attention to the accumulated knowledge of society. She is able to reach out intelligently to what is unusual, to educate. Her negative expression is simply running away.

JUNO in CAPRICORN is solid, reliable, practical and organized. Others love her in part because they can rely on her. A poorly functioning Cappy Juno brings chaos wherever she goes.

JUNO in AQUARIUS, actualized, is the intelligent innovator, while the undeveloped one rebels, whether there’s a reason to or not!

JUNO in PISCES can unite, commune and inspire. In less positive form, we may see her power seated in delusion or fantasy.

In a MAN'S chart

JUNO in ARIES says he wants a mate who can take care of herself, and maybe one who’s boss — and this is his main complaint!

JUNO in TAURUS appreciates a mate with sensual and artisanal skills, but he may be too focused on what his mate might earn from these skills, or on how these serve his own comfort.

JUNO in GEMINI needs conversation with his mate to be lively, while the complaint may be of a shallow intellect or too much emphasis on socializing.

JUNO in CANCER indicates he wants someone to make a home with, perhaps a partner for mutual nurturing support — or that he wants a mommy.

JUNO in LEO wants someone who can ‘shine’ in her own right. In the narrow-minded, this devolves into the desire for a trophy wife.

JUNO in VIRGO wants a true helpmate, someone unafraid to get her hands dirty and be willing to see to the details. On the negative side, he may really want a butler and an accountant.

JUNO in LIBRA wants a true-blue mate and ever-present harmony. In less positive manifestations, insistence on harmony may negate the individuality of the mate.

JUNO in SCORPIO seeks a deep and intense pairing and can make this a reality — as long as Scorp respects his mate enough not to destroy her.

JUNO in SAGITTARIUS is a living conundrum: he wants bachelorhood and a mate at the same time. Unless he’s very considerate, it’s hard to tell the positive of this from the negative!

JUNO in CAPRICORN TAKES the marital relationship seriously. Taken too far, he may want to box up the mate and put her on the shelf.

JUNO in AQUARIUS likes a free-thinker who’s not afraid to try something new. He may complain, though, when her freedom-loving Self rebels and runs wild into the night.

JUNO in PISCES wants a mate who in some way offers a transcendent experience, but her otherworldly nature may irritate him to no end when it’s time to come back to earth.

'In the natal chart, the house and sign placement of our natal Juno reveals the kind of person we are meant to marry. While Venus and Mars represent our ideal mate, Juno represents loyalty and attachment. Juno represents what we need in a mate, rather than simply who we are attracted to. Many astrologers have gone as far as to say Juno represents our true love or marriage partner.

JUNO in ARIES: Your partner will be fiery, direct, aggressive, and active.

JUNO in TAURUS: Your partner will be stubborn, stable, and physically attractive. This aspect can also indicate material prosperity after marriage.

JUNO in GEMINI: Your partner will be talkative, curious, and intelligent. This aspect sometimes indicates multiple marriages.

JUNO in CANCER: Your partner will be sensitive, dependent, and emotional.

JUNO in LEO: Your partner will be creative, egotistical, energetic, and full of life.

JUNO in VIRGO: Your partner will be hard-working, health-conscious, and critical. He might work in the health field.

JUNO in LIBRA: Your partner will be attractive, loving, sociable, and well-mannered.

JUNO in SCORPIO: Your partner will be sexual, mysterious, and perhaps jealous.

JUNO in SAGITTARIUS: Your partner may come from a different locality or cultural background. You may meet your partner abroad. He will be philosophical, honest, and may be interested in higher learning.
​
JUNO in CAPRICORN: Your spouse will be a corporate type. He might be older, and you may meet him later in your life (after your Saturn Return).

JUNO in AQUARIUS: The partner will be original, independent, logical. You may meet through friends.

JUNO in PISCES: Your partner will be dreamy, artsy, and imaginative. Make sure you don’t marry someone simply because you think he needs “help”!'

Any positive aspect between Juno and Sun, Moon or Ascendant bestows strong sex appeal.

JUNO conjunct VALENTINE - It means you are someone who can be an exceptionally loving wife.

ASPECTS with LUMINARIES, ANGLES and NODES

JUNO conj ASCENDANT in synastry is a clue to an ideal relationship with balance in love, romance, care and passion. More than conjunct ASCENDANT, JUNO is conjunct TRUE NODE, making you loving Soul Mates for sure [though not Twin Flames].

JUNO conjunct DESCENDANT: Possibility of having a loving relationship dramatically increases with this aspect.

His SOUTH NODE conjunct his JUNO conjunct her ASCENDANT, his NORTH NODE conjunct her DESCENDANT
Probability of wedding bells increases when NN conjuncts Descendant and JUNO is well aspected as above.

His JUNO conjunct your SATURN - a "Karmic" double whammy for JUNO. Notice the exactitude of AMOR conj SUN [he can love you a lot] and EROS conj DESTINN.

JUNO conj JUPITER in synastry: this is a very useful Soulmate Aspect, almost as important as EROS-PSYCHE, Pluto-PROSERPINE and ISIS-OSIRIS. A shade more useful than SIVA-PARAVTI, ZEUS-HERA, RUDRA-KAALI, BRIEDE-GROOM and ADONIS-INNANEN.

SATURN-JUNO trines or conjunctions seem just as powerful as JUPITER-JUNO aspects.
