In Roman mythology, Juno ruled over Partnerships, Marriages, Jealousy, Possession, and Control. If it helps, Juno’s Greek equivalent would be Hera. Regardless of the mythologies, Juno was the supreme Goddess married to Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology).
When looking at astrological synastry, Juno is the asteroid who rules Partnerships (particularly romantic), Marriage, Jealousy, Balanced Relationships, Compromise, and (In)Fidelity, so she’ll play a huge role in the future of the relationship. This directly ties to Juno’s mythology with Jupiter.
Thinking back to both mythologies regarding Juno’s own partnership with Jupiter, her role in astrology makes a lot of sense as her positioning points towards the give-and-take relationships, the good and the bad within them. Her role in astrology (and mythology) also alludes to the depth of loyalty, compromise, and commitment in a relationship. Her role in astrology can allude to a “soulmate” partnership as her shadow work, if done correctly, can help bring two individuals together in a lasting bond. But on the flip side of that coin, her own marriage to Jupiter was plagued with infidelity, a sense of powerlessness/loss of control/inadequacy, suppressed rage, and the illusion of toxic patterns within the partnership. So, if the shadow work surrounding Juno is left unfinished or untouched, her negative aspects can seep into any relationship.
We ought to look to Juno to find what we’re not only looking for in a partner but what type of partnership may be at hand and how it can affect our more significant placements, such as Venus/Pluto/7th House. Juno has strong Venus, Pluto, and Saturn energy. Her Venus energy is the love, the partnerships, and how we love. Her Pluto energy is the loss of control, death, and rebirth, transcending the old paradigms. Her Saturn influence could be the trials and errors, the setbacks, the boundaries instilled, and the hard work to achieve the soulmate bond. Her energy regarding the 7th House may help as the 7th House rules Partnerships, Marriages, Divorces, and Contracts.
