Juno
Juno is the archetype of the committed loving wife. It’s a symbol in the natal chart of ideal partnership. The placement by sign and house in the birthchart can give more answers to the characteristics and meeting circumstances of your spouse, but also gives clues on how you see love and marriage. It functions the same way as Venus through the houses and signs (which is listed here), the difference is that Venus indicates what you are attracted to and what you attract, while Juno indicates the person that you should be with.
It’s important to take the house and sign placement of Venus and Juno into consideration. If they are both in a different sign and/or house, you may experience difficulties within your path to the one and only, because you keep getting into relationships which are based upon your Venus placement. While when both Venus and Juno are in the same sign and/or house, you may find yourself on a path of attracting the partners that in the end all seem to have been a ‘trailer’ of the final relationship that will bloom into a marriage. It makes you more in-tune with the type of partners you have to pare with inorder to grow towards readiness for the one.
Juno Retrograde is often indicative for an abusive spouse, relationship issues, a spouse that does not behave well or expresses the negative traits of the sign it’s in.
