The
asteroid Juno represents the wife. Other keywords
that work for Juno include fairness, pricing,
and costs. Juno
also represents partners whether of the romantic or
business vatiety. With regard to the feminine principal,
we are referring to the role of the wife. In mythology,
Juno or Hera, which we also study and use in astrology,
are the other names for the same kind of energy. Juno
was said to be a very jealous, and no matter how much
her man cheated on her, she stayed with him. Yes,
she did cast some mean and nasty spells on those women
Zeus had affairs with, but she still remained true
to him.
This is not to say that we should behave and remain
loyal while we are being betrayed. Rather, it is more
that when in a relationship or a partnership of any
kind, there is a need for fairness. Juno doesn’t
represent the jealous wife, she merely represents
the wife who stands by her man, or it can be the man
who stands by his wife -- just as she is his Juno,
a woman’s Juno can be her husband.
In a chart, if Juno falls on the Midheaven, it is
said to represent a job that deals with pricing or
costs. For example, accountants could have Juno on
the Midheaven, as would those people who have careers
that deal with people one-on-one. If such a person
has Juno at the Midheaven, they could also have Juno
at the ascendant or another angle.
With regard to dealing with people one-on-one, and
Juno's relationship to fairness, remember the original
Juno was betrayed by her husband, so she went out
and had her revenge -- because fair is fair after
all. Juno, in aspect to Venus, can be a person who
keeps score in relationships. If you do something
to them they will get you back, and this is true whether
it is something good or something bad -- they know
how to keep score. For example, I once knew someone
who had Juno with Icarus, the asteroid of speed. She
preferred men who drove race-cars and rode bulls.
Juno is our partner and aspects to Juno can tell a
great deal about the partner of that person. What
house it falls into can also let you know what area
of your life these partners are more likely to affect.
If Juno is badly aspected, we can say that you will
have some lessons through your partnerships.
When used in reading a natal chart, Juno can describe
the person who you might feel is your perfect mate.
You are certainly going to be drawn to the type of
individual described by the sign and house placement
of Juno. Gemini Juno can indicate a young-looking
individual who is very likely to be a good communicator.
Conversely, someone who has Juno in Taurus would prefer
a partner who is very grounded and even hard working,
as the sign of Taurus would suggest. |
