If Saturn in the chart also does not indicate discipline, the person may suffer from chronic lateness, act as though oblivious to their own faults, and constantly believe that “the world owes them something.” They often shift blame to others.
However, if someone with retrograde Mars has even a minimal level of self-awareness, they can balance this blocked energy through deep spiritual and physical work – meditation, sports, yoga, and similar practices.
As long as they avoid falling into a negative mindset and instead choose a direct, kind, and disciplined path, they can achieve great success.
Moon and Mars at the Same Degree
In this case, the Moon and Mars don’t have to be in the same house – but if they share the same degree, they automatically cast a full aspect upon each other.
Wherever they are placed, this can signify relationship difficulties, involvement with unfit, offensive, or toxic people.
For example: if the Moon is at 10° in one house and Mars is at 10° in another, without considering minutes, this aspect exists and can indicate conflictual emotional dynamics and unhealthy attachments.
Venus
Ketu + Venus Conjunction
Detachment, inner emptiness, and a sense of dissatisfaction in relationships. Difficulty committing fully or truly feeling love – and, on the other hand, difficulty leaving or distancing oneself when a connection is unhealthy. Lingering resentment toward ex-partners who have left. A tendency to attract emotionally unavailable men (sometimes with violent tendencies), who avoid commitment or are capable of simply disappearing without explanation.
Sun + Venus Conjunction
When the Sun blinds Venus, it both enhances beauty and talent (especially when Venus is close to the Sun in degrees and in certain signs) yet destroys relationships.
Men may be drawn to such a woman for her looks but enter into exploitative or superficial relationships.
She must learn to choose men more wisely, allowing them to truly prove their sincerity and good intentions before entering a romantic connection.
Saturn + Venus Conjunction
At best, this placement brings delayed relationships or marriage, because Saturn tends to slow down whatever it touches. There may be emotional coldness, difficulty expressing feelings, and a sense of dryness or limitation in relationships.
It can also signify a lack of pleasure in romantic connections.
Venus in the 8th House or as the Ruler of the 8th House
The eighth house governs sexuality, crisis, secrets, and power.
Venus placed here may indicate karmic, turbulent relationships marked by jealousy, obsessive dynamics of “push and pull,” infidelity, and connections that bring both intense passion and pain.
Venus in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses often signifies complex relationships, emotional suffering, hidden matters, or financial issues – and the partner may experience similar difficulties.
Venus in Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
A need for security, stability, and practicality, sometimes at the expense of genuine feeling or romance.
In Virgo (Venus’s sign of fall): criticism, unrealistic expectations, materialism, and difficulty expressing emotions.
In Capricorn: excessive seriousness, rigidity, discipline, and emotional restraint.
In Taurus: possessiveness and attachment.
A woman with Venus in Taurus may – if supported by other planetary factors – spend her twenties waiting for a wealthy man with a luxury car and a degree, as though those things guarantee generosity.
She might reject someone simply because he lacks a diploma, ignoring his personal qualities.
