13b. Juno in the Houses.
Juno in the houses shows areas of life that will be important in marriage.
Juno in 1. Formal partnerships can be enhanced by improving the image or body, developing individual interests outside of marriage, and an independent life approach. The ideal partner will be complementary, will support and encourage this. However, when together as a couple, it will be important to focus with one- pointed attention on the happiness of the partner and the balanced well-being of the union.
Juno in 2. Marriage will be enhanced by contributing financially, by being stable and loyal, and by valuing and appreciating the partner. Shared spiritual values may also be a vital component. Either way, with this combination we should be careful to choose a mate who has the same values or differences could cause a breakdown and divorce.
Juno in 3. The essential glue required to cement unions healthily together is clear and honest communication. This will ensure that there is mutual understanding and that the way to progress forwards as a couple is clear. Shared interests done together on a daily basis will be helpful and the partner may be found close to home or even be associated with the extended family.
Juno in 4. A stable marriage, home and family life; these are essential with this combination. To this end, a partner should be sought who feels the same and who will work to build a secure domestic structure. Mutual nurturing and shared emotional support are vital elements and the mate should be a good parent and provider.
Juno in 5. The ideal partner will be romantic, creative in keeping the spark alive in marriage and is a warm and appreciative lover. Likewise, someone who will enjoy sharing cultural and pleasure activities, and who will be good with children and play with them.
Juno in 6. Formal partnerships will be enhanced by working through crises, accepting one's duty and just generally contributing daily to the responsibilities, duties and tasks that are the nuts and bolts of marriage. The ideal partner should have good hygiene, take an interest in health and work hard so that the union runs smoothly and all material needs are taken care of.
Juno in 7. Important one-on-one unions will be enhanced by developing excellent relationship skills, being fair and cooperative and lavishing love and attention on the partner. These are also the qualities to be looked for in a partner, someone who wants to share his or her life and cohabit in harmony.
Juno in 8. Marriage will be enhanced by contributing to a healthy and passionate sex life and relating to the partner with depth and emotional intensity. The ideal partner will complement this and contribute to joint finances. Such mutual involvement will be transformative and will change the marriage for the better - a requirement of this placement to avoid separation and divorce.
Juno in 9. Travel and adventure are a must in marriage, which will be enhanced by taking long journeys together - whether this journey is intellectual, spiritual or philosophical. For the union to be fulfilling, the partner should have similar morals and beliefs and there needs to a mutual sharing of interests that are higher and more expansive.
Juno in 10. Formal partnerships can be enhanced by gaining professional success, gaining the respect of the partner and by making the success of the partnership an important life goal. It will also be important for the union to be seen to be successful in the eyes of the world, or that the partner is successful. There should be no “washing of dirty linen” in public.
Juno in 11. The glue necessary to cement together a deeply fulfilling union is a solid friendship and a shared vision of how to make the marriage and the world a better place. Mutual social and humanitarian interests being expressed in association with a group or organization will also be beneficial.
Juno in 12. There may be an aversion to marriage because of a lack of interest in traditional unions or because of a sense that it would lead to a loss of freedom even entrapment. Some may find themselves nursing an invalid partner, others may make a commitment to a spiritual marriage. This is not to say one cannot find happiness in marriage with this combination. But if there are psychological or other inhibiting life issues, these need to be worked through.
