Astrology isn’t just about following the planets—we also track the movement of asteroids in the sky. That’s right, asteroids are also a part of your birth chart. And a number of asteroids named after ancient Roman and Greek goddesses are particularly important. Meet: Juno. Named after the goddess of marriage and protector of women, this asteroid’s placement in your birth chart explains what you look for in a partner, aka what makes you want to commit for the long haul. Understanding this placement can help you grow and learn to have healthier partnerships.
In Roman mythology, Juno was Jupiter’s wife and the queen of the gods. She was a dutiful wife, but Jupiter was a terrible husband. He had numerous affairs, which of course left Juno heartbroken. In astrology, the energy associated with this asteroid can represent both the easy and challenging parts of a deep connection.
You can discover where your Juno is placed in your chart by using a free birth chart calculator that includes asteroids. The zodiac sign your Juno is in can describe the overall energy and nature you need in a serious partnership. It could almost be said to reveal The One— but as all relationships go, nothing is perfect. It’s important to understand all facets of the placement to find a partner who is a true fit for you.
