Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri's Tarot Reading

Romantic Compatibility for Taurus Janet Jackson and Libra Jermaine Dupri:

Because Jermaine's Mars is opposite Janet's Saturn, she frequently takes a wary attitude towards his personal aims and desires, and he is likely to feel limited by her cautiousness. Many times they simply cannot agree on how to attain long-range goals. However, these problems are balanced by their ability to jointly focus on tasks of an immediate practical nature. On another level, Jermaine's physical drives may be frustrated by Janet. Resentment can easily build up to harmful levels if problems are not discussed frequently. With Jermaine's Sun square Janet's Jupiter they enjoy a great deal of optimism and good will towards one another. Janet is able to see ways that Jermaine can grow and develop materially as well as in inner ways, but she may try to push him too quickly and become disappointed by unrealistic expectations. On yet another, apparently contradictory level, Janet's Sun trine Jermaine's Mars highlights successful cooperation in achieving goals, making them an excellent working team. Sexual attraction between them is also very strong.

Jermaine's Mercury square Janet's Jupiter means the relationship has a striking effect on both of their overall attitudes and beliefs, but particularly on Jermaine's. They challenge each other's religious, political and philosophical values and may experience differences of opinion that are tough to resolve. Jermaine's Sun opposite Janet's Saturn tells us that in the early stages of their relationship Jermaine is likely to feel attracted to Janet's steady, reliable qualities but over time these same qualities can begin to feel restricting. Says Jackson, 'Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsibility to be equal members of society.' If he can benefit from her conscientious attitude and she can refrain from taking things too seriously, the relationship can overcome those negative tendencies. Janet's Mercury square Jermaine's Venus is a sure sign that they enjoy sharing ideas about the arts, literature and other people but often fail to understand each other. They sometimes reach a complete impasse.

With Jermaine's Venus square Janet's Mars this is likely to be a stormy and fiery relationship. The romantic attraction between them is very strong, but their feelings are often not in tune with each other. One of them, in this case Janet, may feel sexually aroused, while Jermaine feels tremendous love and affection, without feeling sexually aroused. Feelings can swing back and forth and they may not realize how much they love each other until they are apart. Jermaine's Venus square Janet's Neptune signifies that they are infatuated, sometimes almost hypnotized by each other, with idealistic notions about each other that are far removed from reality. Disillusionment and disappointment are likely, but they can mitigate this if they allow themselves to enjoy their dreamy romanticism without projecting their wildest fantasies onto each other. Janet's Venus trine Jermaine's Venus shows a delightful flow of love between them, with both of them able to give and receive tenderness and affection. 'You know that it's something different when your whole family falls in love with him, when your brothers and sisters love him,' says Janet about Jermaine. 'And with me having eight brothers and sisters, there are some major eyes on him. And they all adore him. So that's really good.' Janet's Mars trine Jermaine's Mars reiterates that they are able to coordinate their efforts and work together well on practical tasks. The warm, energizing quality between them generates a lot of steam for anything they undertake together. Considering that she is the only female singer ever to attain five number one albums in a row on the Billboard Album charts, and he was the youngest producer ever to hit the charts -- and keep on hitting them -- that's a whole lot of steam.

Janet's Jupiter opposite Jermaine's Jupiter means that they may have important differences in their attitudes towards religion, philosophy or personal growth, and yet spark one another's interest in such matters, frequently discussing their differing points of view. Some of the fascination they feel for each other is because each of them senses that the other knows something that would enrich or expand their life in some way. They encourage each other to playfully try out new approaches and are unlikely to become bored as there is always a sense of exploring new territory together. Janet's Jupiter square Jermaine's Pluto indicates that over time significant changes occur in their underlying assumptions about life, death and faith. Putting their beliefs to the test, pushing past mental barriers and diving into life more wholeheartedly are key issues in this relationship. Jermaine's Jupiter square Janet's Saturn warns that she often limits or frustrates him without intending to or realizing it. There is a conflict between her need for stability and order versus his desire for freedom and expansiveness. How much, and in what ways they spend money may be an issue for them, as well. Janet is more conservative, perhaps even critical of Jermaine's more extravagant, liberal approach. She may seek to control him, and he may even take a subordinate role for a while, accepting her command. Over time, though, he may find her constraints to be devitalizing and draining. Then again, Jermaine can make Janet feel like a perpetual wet blanket or miser. In clear contradiction to previous areas of their chart, working together or going into business as equal partners is unlikely to work out well for them. It's best if they can respect one another's differing approaches and not seek to impose their values or styles on each other.
