Venus conjunct Saturn often brings a sense of work first, pleasure after. This is a time where keeping our promises and commitments is important. Venus conjunct Saturn removes rose-coloured glasses that might be tinted your perspective, especially in close partnerships and relationships. This pattern is just beginning and will be revisited in April of this year as Venus again moves into a conjunction with Saturn.
Kelly then provides examples of two charts of artists who have Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces to help further solidify your understanding of this aspect.

Hi There and welcome to this week’s episode of the Kelly’s Astrology Podcast.
There are a lot of aspects happening as we head into this third week of January, the week starting Jan 18. There’s one in particular that’s caught my eye, which I’m going to explore for you today, and that is Venus conjunct Saturn in Pisces.
This is actually an aspect we will have three times in the coming months, thanks to Venus’ upcoming retrograde. And there are two famous creative people I’ll mention briefly who were born with this exact aspect.
Before I do, I want to let you know that I share detailed weekly videos into my astrology guide membership. If you’d like even more tips on timing and astro insights on the astrology of the week ahead, I’d invite you to join the community. You’ll get exclusive info that I only share with members, plus access to quarterly member only Q and As. Membership means you also get monthly worksheets to help you time your life with astrology.
So back to this week’s Venus conjunct Saturn aspect. Even though I’m talking about this aspect in the context of the astrology of the week, you’ll find this useful if you have Venus conjunct Saturn in your birth chart too.
Venus will conjunct Saturn at 16 Pisces on Jan 18/19
This is the first in a sequence of three aspects,
- April 8, 25 Pisces
- April 25 27 Pisces
Info for this weekend, but also part of a pattern that you’ll revisit in April.
Venus/Saturn key words/concepts
Duty before pleasure – delays with enjoyment
Realisations about relationships
Clarity around commitment, wanting to clarify commitments, make long term plans with loved ones
Exploring topics of self worth, deservingness, can you bring more self acceptance for what is, and for what is having value?
Take responsibility for your own enjoyment, for making time for connection, relaxation
maturity and wisdom emerging that helps with relationships
Realisations around pleasure, joy, sweetness
The need to balance work with leisure/down time
The cost of not resting, having fun
Necessary, important, long term choices/clarifications with significant others
Clarifying duties/roles, expectations in relationship
Love of solitude, needing aloneness for creative output, embracing limits to support your art, relationships that happen in private
Venus is exalted as she makes these aspects to Saturn, so there is good here to access. Being diligent and responsible can have valuable pay offs.
A quick search in Solar Fire lead me to two important figures who were born with Venus conjunct Saturn in pisces.
Musician Kurt Cobain and photojournalist Lee Miller
Cobain/Nirvana – pivotal in the grunge music space, creating a musical legacy that continues to influence artists today. His lyrics spoke to pain he couldn’t express, and touched the hearts of many young people.
Granted part of the evocative nature of Cobain’s lyrics likely comes from his Mercury, which was also in Pisces.
*also had Sun and Mercury in pisces, PM Venus
Lee Miller – had to fight her way into being a photojournalist during WW2, took some incredibly haunting images, juxtaposing the beauty of nature with the horrors of war. Helped develop new techniques and styles in the photography. After the war focussed her work on images of women at work, especially in hospitals.
*had Sun in taurus, Mercury in Aries, AM Venus
Both made important artistic contributions in their field and left substantial legacies.
Inspired by these two individuals, and these ideas of important developments as well as legacies as part of the Venus conjunct Saturn aspect, you might consider
What new expression of what you love or create can you help bring into being? During these next few months, under this Venus conjunct Saturn sequence of aspects.
