Juno in the horoscope gives us an indication of the kind of marriage partner that we need and will get. Not the partner we think we want, but the one we need and actually wind up with. Let us 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 marriage partner will be.
Juno works on a more fundamental level. It represents the wife, the life partner, the soul mate. This asteroid affects a womans decision to share herself with another through a physical, emotional and spiritual union. Juno picks up where Venus leaves off after the courtship phase, when the conquest is over and the love and commitment begin. The definition of marital union changes over time, as its position in the sky changes. Modern partnerships, including long term relationships without a legal ceremony and same sex unions, are still seen as marriages under Junos jurisdiction. In some parts of the world, marriages are still arranged based on astrological charts.
Loyalty, fidelity, intimacy, monogamy, and the way you possess your partner or wish to be possessed fall under Junos care. Juno also fosters promises between yourself and your partner, especially those made under the eyes of a Higher Power. Its shadow side presides over infidelity, divorce, codependence, financial dependence and spousal abuse. The darkest side of Juno is home to the woman harmed by her partners hand, like Nicole Brown Simpson or Dorothy Stratten. Relinquishing total control of yourself and the relationship, or losing your identity, take its example too far.
