What these two planets are doing

Moon

The emotional reflex, formed before language.

Venus

What someone finds attractive and how they show affection.

At 180° the question this pairing raises is whether comfort is instinctive or has to be negotiated, set against whether the same gestures read as love to both. A opposition puts those two demands at odds rather than in agreement, which is why this aspect is read as work rather than ease.

Venus moves 14.6 times slower than moon, so the faster one sets how long the exact angle holds.

0.6° per hour — how far Moon moves, the faster of the two and therefore the one that decides.
