Audience: Isn't Venus-Uranus very unstable in its affections? I thought it was associated with divorce.

Liz: It was in older textbooks, when divorce was much more difficult and only the brave undertook it. Now you could associate any planetary aspect with divorce, especially in America. But no, I don't believe that Venus-Uranus indicates instability on an emotional level. I have known people with this aspect to be loyal almost to the point of stupidity, because they have a Uranian ideal of fidelity which ignores the fact that they are miserable in a relationship. But it is very difficult for Venus-Uranus to be happy within a Saturnian type of marriage, where the primary concerns are security and family structure. Venus-Uranus needs intellectual companionship above all, or, put more simply, it needs a friend before it needs a wife or husband. The hard aspects (especially the opposition) may reflect a person's tendency to identify with Venus and disown Uranus, in which case it is usually the partner who acts out Uranus and leaves. But whenever I have seen a client who has been left, and I see Venus and Uranus in hard aspect in the natal chart, I am inclined to wonder whether the errant spouse has been firmly, albeit unconsciously, driven out, and whether my client might not be feeling a secret relief in the midst of the pain and hurt pride.

Venus-Uranus needs a certain amount of practical planning. Because of the tendency to dissociate from the feelings, and to measure all relationships against a perfect ideal, there is a deep need for breathing space in a relationship, so that fantasy can periodically drive away the oppressive vapours of too much familiarity. The more things are taken for granted in a relationship, the less room there is for the excitement of surprise and unpredictability. Venus-Uranus, if there is no conscious provision for this, can display the unpleasant habit of creating crises and breaks in order to generate an atmosphere of excitement. But the root of this is not inability to sustain a commitment; it is inability to sustain too much ordinary life. If we do not recognise such a need in ourselves, we may clutter up our days with routines and rituals which, although safe, choke the life out of love. Nothing does this as quickly as marriage and family, which is why anyone with this aspect needs to find the courage to build breathing space into the marriage, rather than having the marriage explode like the proverbial time bomb.

Venus-Uranus is not, after all, a difficult combination to understand, nor even to work with if certain important factors are taken into account. If you have this aspect, and your partner has the habit of doing all the hygienic rituals with the bathroom door open, stop watching and go for a walk instead, and then your ideal of beauty won't take such a battering. But the uncompromising and reforming nature of Uranus can tend to inject an element of inflexibility into one's values,
