Intense Heartfelt Connections
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus trine Pluto transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t get obsessed with someone new, no matter how strong the attraction feels. Intense crushes can cloud your judgment.
- Avoid manipulation- steering relationships through guilt, jealousy, or power plays can come back to haunt you.
- Don’t dig up old relationship drama just to rehash it. Transform, don’t dwell!
- Try not to make huge financial decisions based on temptation or a “once-in-a-lifetime” feeling. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment.
- Don’t ignore your boundaries by getting way too deep with someone you barely know.
- Avoid making promises or commitments you’re not honestly ready for, just because everything feels so intense.
- Try not to hide your real feelings or get swept away by secret attachments.
- Don’t use sex or intimacy as a bargaining chip- keep things honest and light.
- Don’t overthink or try to control every detail of how relationships evolve during this time.
- Avoid holding grudges or using the past as leverage in current relationships.
Do During This Transit
- Deepen your relationships- spend time talking honestly with people you care about.
- Explore your passions- this is a good time to follow what you truly love.
- Work on self-love- do some inner work to boost your confidence and self-worth.
- Have real conversations about intimacy or trust with a partner.
- Clean out emotional baggage- let go of old grudges or fears that block you from connecting.
- Put your energy into creative projects or hobbies that mean a lot to you.
- Make peace with your past- reflect and forgive where needed.
- Handle money matters, especially when it involves joint finances or sharing resources.
- Try some shadow work, like journaling about your desires and fears.
- Practice gratitude- notice the beauty in your life and let yourself feel it deeply.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Heightened Artistic Magnetism. In “Astrological Currents and Their Interpretation” (1952) by Llewellyn George, Venus trine Pluto is linked to sudden urges to create “art of an emotionally cathartic sort, often drawing others to you as strongly as any physical attraction could.”
- Exploring Taboo Desires. According to Grant Lewi in “Heaven Knows What” (revised edition, 1950), this transit was believed to encourage safe exploration of the “margins of personal pleasure,” letting people understand and integrate their shadowy, even taboo, fascinations harmlessly.
- Occult Financial Luck. In Marc Edmund Jones’ “Astrology of Personality” (1947), Venus trine Pluto was said to occasionally bring windfalls through odd or hidden means, like old debts repaid, forgotten investments, or surprising inheritances.
- Regeneration in Social Ties. Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson in “Simplified Scientific Astrology” (1960) noted this transit often points to the healing of long-standing rifts with friends or family, and the chance for “profound reconciliation without needing to revisit all past wounds.”
- Peculiar Charms and Allure. “The Modern Text-Book of Astrology” (Margaret E. Hone, 1951) described Venus trine Pluto as blessing someone with an “unusual personal magnetism,” which may attract especially eccentric or mysterious people into their lives for a short time.
- Transformative Aesthetic Shifts. Ronald Davison, in “The Technique of Prediction” (1963), wrote that this transit was a time people could suddenly let go of outdated styles and preferences- anything from music taste to how you decorate- embracing very different things that feel oddly right.
- Eased Passage Through Endings. In Charles Carter’s “The Astrological Aspects” (1967), Venus trine Pluto was thought to soften the emotional side of necessary goodbyes, helping people see beauty and value in what’s ending, instead of just the loss.
- Dreams of Past Amours. From “Prediction in Astrology” by Sepharial (1954), this transit might stir up vivid dreams about past loves, including some you might’ve all but forgotten, giving a chance to “reclaim pieces of emotional energy you left behind.”
Experiencing This Transit
A Venus trine Pluto transit feels like the universe is giving you a deep, but gentle, boost when it comes to passion, connection, and the things you desire. You might notice a stronger sense of attraction- people or experiences are just more magnetic than usual. This isn’t a wild or chaotic shift, though. Trines tend to feel natural and smooth, so you might just notice things falling into place in a way that feels right. There’s a vibe of transformation here, but it’s more about deepening bonds and uncovering hidden joys instead of tearing things down.
Old wounds in relationships could heal or fade, and you might feel more comfortable with your own intensity. You’re less afraid of the deep stuff- intimacy, secrets, vulnerability. It’s a great time for any kind of creative project where you want to put a real piece of yourself out into the world.
Challenges during this transit
- Hidden jealousy or obsession: Sometimes this transit can bring out fascination that edges close to obsession. You or someone close to you might get a little fixated on a person or idea, even if it’s all under the surface and not obvious.
- Manipulation in relationships: There’s a tendency to turn on a little extra charm to get what you want, and it can be tempting to test how much sway you have over people. Try not to play power games, even if it feels harmless at first.
- Overwhelming feelings: It’s possible to get swept up in strong emotions- sometimes this transit brings up deep stuff you didn’t know was still there. You could feel intensely about a breakup, a new crush, or a long-standing friendship.
- Trouble letting go: If you’re holding onto an old relationship or grudge, the trine might make it harder to just drop it. You could feel drawn to try “one more time” with someone, even if it’s risky emotionally.
Opportunities during this transit
- Deepening bonds: Relationships can move to a new level. You’re able to be more honest about your feelings, and people may open up to you in return. This is a good time for heart-to-hearts and repairing rifts.
- Creative transformation: If you’re an artist- or just want to try something creative- now’s a great time to pour your feelings into your work. You might surprise yourself with how raw or powerful it turns out.
- Attracting rare opportunities: Because of your extra magnetism, you might notice chance opportunities showing up- jobs, collaborations, dates, or just lucky moments that seem to come out of nowhere.
- Magnetic confidence: You simply feel more comfortable in your own skin. People pick up on your vibe and respond to it, so it’s a great time for making a first impression.
- Healing and renewal in love: Old heartbreak or resentments can start to fade, and you might understand more clearly why things went the way they did. Forgiveness comes more easily, both for yourself and others.
