Venus/Saturn conjunctions are never pleasant. They almost always bring some kind of separation from someone you want to be close to either physically or emotionally. The tendency is to blame Saturn for the chilly reception, but there is such a thing as just leaving things alone for now. Sometimes people don’t want to talk about their problems when we think they should talk about them. Sometimes they just want to veg out or mope. Instead of bracing for the worst on January 18th, try recognizing an intimate’s need for some alone time. As a Pisces, you know just how rehabilitative and restorative that can be.
