Soul Contracts and Sacred Unions

Juno is an interesting asteroid that has deep meanings in the natal chart and can tell us a lot about soul contracts and sacred unions. When we talk about love in astrology, we typically think of Venus because it is associated with love, pleasure, beauty, and romance. However, long last deep commitments can be seen when we take a look at the asteroid Juno. Juno was discovered in 1804 and is highly impactful in intimate relationships.

In looking at one's natal chart, we take a look at where Juno is placed (among other things) to see what you need in a committed intimate relationship in order to feel amazingly fulfilled. We can take a peek at Juno to find out the type of partner you are likely to commit to. Sometimes who we are attracted to differs from who we feel committed to. Juno has a lot to say about patterns of trust, loyalty, and betrayal. This asteroid can identify one's capacity for long-term commitment and for sacred unions. For example, someone who has Juno in Capricorn may seek reliability, structure, and shared ambitious goals with a long-term partner.

In looking at relationship synastry charts between two people, it is highly beneficial to look at the interaction between Juno in the two charts. Does one partner have their north node conjunct the other partner's Juno (or vice versa)? If yes, this will possibly be a soul mate connection. Does one partner have their Juno in the other partner's 7th house of relationships? If yes, this could be a highly meaningly soul connected relationship. Juno invites us to define what "commitment" means to us despite how society defines it.
