Venus conjunct Saturn

Saturn on Venus puts a cost on affection. These people take love seriously, commit slowly, and expect to earn what warmer charts are given. Taste is spare and durable. Early experience usually included a withholding parent or an outright refusal that set the terms. The cost is coldness that is partly protective and a sense of not being lovable that achievement does not fix. What the aspect builds is fidelity: relationships here are worked at rather than enjoyed, and they last. Affection given under this contact is worth more because it was never cheap.
