Juno in Astrology and Mythology: Discover Your Love Partnerships

In this article, you will discover the meaning of the asteroid Juno in different positions on a Star Chart, in comparison with the symbolization of Juno in Greek and Roman mythology.

Keep reading to learn the meaning of Juno in the different signs, houses and astrological aspects, as well as how they can impact your life, especially in love relationships, fidelity and marriage.

Traditionally linked to Greek and Roman mythology, Juno is the Goddess of marriage and fidelity. Transposed to the astrological scope, the figure of Juno gives its name to the asteroid which, in turn, also represents issues related to relationships and loyalty.

It shows us possible areas where these elements may be more sensitive in your life – depending, of course, on the place the asteroid occupies in your Natal Chart and the aspects it establishes with other planets.

In Roman mythology, Juno is analogous to the Greek goddess Hera: wife of Jupiter, the God of the gods, the figure of Juno is linked to marriage, union, monogamy and fidelity.

Her loyal character contrasts with the behavior of her husband who, unfaithful, cheats on his wife with others and provokes her anger, which makes Juno accumulate several rivals and plot revenge against Jupiter’s lovers.

Traditionally, Juno is represented by the peacock, her favorite bird. The goddess also has Iris as her messenger and names the sixth month of the year, June.

In astrology, the asteroid Juno is also linked to love partnerships: Juno’s placement in your Natal Chart is related to marriage, loving commitment, infidelity and equity.

It concerns, in short, what characterizes a partnership in its first sense, insofar as it comprises the necessary effort to balance the power, wills and individuality of two different people.

In this way, the astrological sense of the asteroid is closely connected to the mythological figure of Juno who, faithful to an unhappy marriage, must deal with issues related to the balance of power, infidelity and betrayal.

Thus, the place where Juno is found in our Natal Chart represents an element that can awaken some weaknesses in us, but also shows us how and where we can seek balance, justice and empowerment.

Juno was not only a faithful and passive wife, but sought to maintain justice and balance in their relationship without abdicating either their union, their wills or their individuality.

Like all the stars present in an Astral Map, the Juno asteroid can have several shades of meaning depending on the sign and astrological house in which it is located. Next, check out the meaning of Juno in the different astrological signs and houses.

Whoever has Juno in Aries always wants to reach the first place and may be insecure if this does not happen. Thus, it is possible that you resort to tricks to feel that you are the best at something.

But that doesn’t always work, as you’re not satisfied when you don’t get what you want on the first try. In this way, being considered a needy person or someone who does not have knowledge about a certain subject can greatly irritate the person who has Juno in Aries.

The ideal partner for those with this placement is, consequently, someone who respects their independence and their desire to pioneer, lead and innovate. Those with Juno in the 1st may tend to make their relationship and loved one central in their lives, or give an impression of innocence.

This is because the 1st house concerns how we present ourselves to others and how we experience the world, being closely related to birth and early childhood.

■

People with Juno in Taurus are mobilized by the fear of losing material goods, positions, security and space – thus, when they feel insecure, they tend to be possessive and indulgent.

For those with this placement, it’s interesting to learn to deal with the comings and goings of things in your life and accept when they go away. An ideal partner is one who is confident, solid, stable and even stubborn.

In the 2nd house, which represents possessions, money and self-esteem, Juno can indicate that marriage will bring about an increase in self-esteem and a sense of self-worth for those with this placement.

However, establishing a marriage solely to boost self-esteem rarely works, as well as marrying for the partner’s money or possessions. People with Juno in the 2nd can also be overly attached to their possessions, devoting excessive time to them.

■

Those with Juno in Gemini can let their ideas, intelligence and communication have a more prominent place than they would like – as such, people with this placement tend to feel insecure or threatened when someone does not agree with their opinions and perspectives.

From this perspective, the ideal partner for someone with Juno in Gemini is someone who listens to their ideas and does not ignore them. However, it is up to the native with this placement to learn to eventually let go of his very crystallized convictions.

Already Juno occupying the 3rd house of the astral map indicates the importance of communication within the relationship. When combined with harmonic aspects (sextile and trine), the native of Juno in the 3rd house may also have his communication skills improved from the relationship.

On the other hand, conflicting aspects (square and opposition) indicate the opposite: in this case, there may be problems with communication.

■

For those with Juno in Cancer, emotions, family, security and the ability to welcome and care are sensitive points. Thus, when threatened in these ways, people with this placement tend to be extremely self-protective.

They begin to resort to manipulations and tricks to hide their vulnerabilities and restore their sense of security. Thus, the ideal partner is one who is sensitive and careful. However, if Juno is making many conflicting aspects, it is likely that the partner is excessively demanding and always complaining.

If Juno is in the 4th house, the person with this placement can be extremely attached to his own house, especially after marriage; or, still, you may need a partner who is also committed to the domestic environment.

■

Those with Juno in Leo can feel extremely offended if others treat them as insignificant, worthless or petty: for them, the important thing is that they are treated with respect and courtesy.

In this way, the most suitable partner is one who respects and admires you. Such people also tend to attract partners who are creative, fun, or have outstanding qualities – but who, on the other hand, can also be arrogant, immature or overbearing.

Juno in the 5th indicates that marriage can develop the native’s creative abilities. There is also a tendency for the partner to be creative, good at sports, or good at handling children.

■

What infuriates those with Juno in Virgo is the lack of recognition from others for their work, intelligence and attention to detail, as this person tends to always do more than they need to.

As such, the best partner for people with this placement is someone who values their work and is also hardworking, efficient, and careful, especially with regard to their health.

However, if Juno makes tense aspects to other planets, the partner can tend to be very critical. Juno in the 6th house, on the other hand, can indicate a person who is excessively attached to work or, even, who may end up marrying a professional colleague.

More commonly, however, people with this placement find partners with whom they can work together. Therefore, equity regarding work is often a necessity in relationships for those with Juno in the 6th house.

■

Whoever has Juno in Libra tends to be very irritated by injustice, especially in cases where people treat them differently from others.

In addition, competitions and fights also annoy the natives with this placement. The ideal, then, is to build a relationship with a partner who is cooperative, as well as sociable and charming, qualities linked to the sign of Libra.

Juno in the 7th house, on the other hand, is in an extremely familiar place. People with this placement tend to see marriage as a necessity and relationships as the central pillar of their lives.

■

People with Juno in Scorpio often become irritated when others underestimate their intelligence or sense of perception. The ideal partner is one who is sincere and does not hide what he is thinking or feeling, as well as being strong and intense.

Those with Juno in the 8th house tend to attract partners who can be a little possessive. As the eighth house is related to transformations, it is possible for marriage to reinvent or radically change the lives of those with this placement.

■

Juno natives in Sagittarius do not like it when others do not respect their ideas and beliefs, silencing them. The ideal, then, is a partner who gives you freedom to express yourself, respecting your opinions.

Juno in Sagittarius can also indicate relationships with people from very different places or backgrounds, or with individuals who like to travel or pursue academic careers.

Juno in the 9th points to a need to have a partner with whom one can “travel” both literally and philosophically. There is also the possibility that the partner resides in another city or country.

Whoever has Juno in Capricorn does not like people who do not respect or despise their achievements, merits and skills.

For those with this placement, the ideal partner is one who, in addition to respecting them, is also practical, organized and hardworking, even if he is not very emotional or affectionate.

Occupying the 10th house, Juno can point to the partner’s help in the professional field or social status. This positioning is also typical of people who are very attached to work – as if Juno, here, represented a “marriage with one’s own career”.
