• Try not to bring up old grudges or dig up past hurts with your partner or friends.
• Don’t jump into new romantic or financial commitments without really thinking them through; strong feelings can cloud your judgment now.

• Try not to overspend on things just to impress someone or win their approval.

• Work through emotional patterns that keep repeating in your love life or friendships.
• Dive into art, music, or anything creative that lets you express deep emotions.

What’s Interesting About Transit Venus Opposite Pluto

• In “Astrological Essays” (1961) by Charles E. O. Carter, he suggests Venus opposite Pluto can cause “an outbreak of secret animosities and sudden shifts in affections, particularly among one’s lesser-known acquaintances,” warning that undercurrents between people can spark unpredictable jealousy or intrigue during this transit.
• In Isabel M. Hickey’s “Astrology: A Cosmic Science” (1970), she mentions this aspect might “draw out hidden desires for revenge in love, prompting either person in a relationship to unconsciously sabotage harmony, sometimes without clear awareness of their own motives.”
• In “Predicting Events with Astrology” (1952) by Frances Sakoian and Louis S. Acker, Venus opposite Pluto is described as “an indicator of unexpected obsessions with taboo art forms or music,” potentially pulling someone into subcultures they wouldn’t normally explore.
• Alice Howell, in “Jungian Symbolism in Astrology” (1987, drawing on 1950s Jungian ideas), says this transit might coincide with “dreams that sharply highlight the struggle between love (Venus) and power/control (Pluto), forcing the dreamer to confront intense feelings about their attractiveness or desirability in strange, sometimes mystical scenarios.”
• Marc Edmund Jones in “Astrology: How and Why It Works” (1945) describes this opposition as sometimes indicating “fated meetings with people who challenge one’s most cherished artistic or romantic values, which can spark powerful creative breakthroughs or the feeling of being ‘tested’ by the universe.”
• From “The Astrological Aspects” (1966) by Dane Rudhyar & Leyla Rael, the aspect is linked to “dynamically charged social gatherings or artistic happenings that force a person to face, and possibly reset, boundaries related to intimacy and personal possessions.”
