Transit Pluto Conjunct Natal Venus

Intense transformation in love and values

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Pluto Conjunct Venus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t jump into new romantic relationships too quickly- intense attraction can cloud your judgment during this transit.
• Avoid manipulating or trying to control your partner, even if you feel extra passionate or jealous.
• Don’t ignore red flags in relationships- power struggles might come up, and it’s best to see them clearly.
• Try not to hold onto old grudges or let past relationship pain take over your actions now.
• Steer clear of risky financial decisions, especially if they’re tied to strong desires or temptations.
• Don’t get obsessed with someone or something that’s not healthy for you- it’s easy to fixate right now.
• Avoid using love, sex, or money as a way to gain power over others (or letting someone do this to you).
• Don’t sweep intense emotions under the rug- bottling things up could make them explode later.
• Hold off on making big changes to your appearance for approval or validation from someone else.
• Avoid unhealthy attachments- if you feel stuck in a toxic connection, try not to dig yourself in deeper.

Do During This Transit

• Reflect deeply on your relationships. This is the perfect time to look at what really matters to you in love, friendships, and even business partnerships. Dig into those feelings; don’t be afraid to go deep.
• Work on transforming unhealthy patterns. If you’ve noticed jealousy, possessiveness, or power struggles popping up, now’s your chance to break those cycles and do things differently.
• Rediscover your self-worth. Pluto pushes you to get real about how you value yourself. Take time to figure out if you’re getting what you need- and if you’re giving yourself enough credit.
• Embrace changes in your love life. If a relationship ends or gets more intense, don’t freak out. This transit is all about growth, so let things evolve naturally.
• Explore your creative side. Venus rules beauty and art- try painting, writing, music, or even redecorating. Go for projects that feel meaningful, not just pretty.
• Be honest about your desires. It’s a raw, passionate time. Talk openly with your partner (or yourself!) about what you really want. Don’t be shy.
• Spend time alone if you need it. Sometimes you need space to process everything going on. Don’t feel bad about taking a break from social stuff.
• Do shadow work. This just means facing your fears, old wounds, or things you might usually avoid. It’s tough, but you’ll come out stronger for it.
• Let go of what no longer serves you. Old attitudes, relationships, stuff- you might feel the urge to purge. Go with it. Make room for better things to come in.
• Focus on honesty and authenticity. Superficiality won’t cut it right now. Show your real self to the people you care about and expect the same in return.

What’s interesting about this transit?

Pluto conjunct natal Venus is a heavy hitter in astrology, and some old texts and lesser-known sources have brought up a bunch of interesting takes on it. Here are quite a few old or obscure interpretations that you don’t see every day:

• One Renaissance astrologer wrote that this configuration could “place a spell on the lover,” meaning an obsessive fascination or witchy, magnetic love situation might appear.
• Some ancient texts link this transit with the sudden discovery of deeply buried family secrets about love or finances- stuff like uncovering an ancestor’s hidden affair or inheritance.
• Early 20th-century astrologers sometimes said this transit could attract someone with a Scorpionic nature (mysterious, secretive, seductive), even if that’s totally off your usual type.
• In esoteric astrology, there’s a belief this transit could trigger “alchemical love,” where a relationship completely transforms both people, sometimes in a painful but ultimately enlightening way.
• Certain old French sources claim that strange omens or synchronicities around money (like coins appearing at odd moments) would signal the deeper work of this transit in the background.
• Some medieval texts noted it could cause old art or possessions to suddenly become valuable- or cursed!- for no obvious reason.
• A few books from the 1800s mention a “phantom lover” during this transit- meeting someone who feels like a ghost from your past life or leaves you feeling haunted for months or years.
• Rare, but occasionally mentioned: suddenly developing an intense dislike or allergy to perfumes, flowers, or anything Venus-related, symbolizing a purge of old attraction patterns.

Experiencing This Transit

When Pluto lines up with your Venus in the sky, things get pretty intense. It’s like all your feelings about love, beauty, money, and pleasure get a full system upgrade- except it’s not always smooth. The energy is deep, powerful, and not exactly gentle. You might feel like you’re being pulled into a love story or money drama that you didn’t pick, or suddenly you’ve got cravings and interests you didn’t even know were in you. This isn’t just surface-level stuff; it’s got layers, and it can take you right down to the roots of what you want and why.

Challenges during this transit

• Obsessive relationships: You might find yourself getting fixated on someone- maybe your crush becomes an obsession, or your current relationship takes on a sort of all-or-nothing vibe. Boundaries can get blurry, and trust issues can creep in.
• Money power struggles: Joint finances or shared possessions can become battlegrounds. Maybe there’s an argument about money in a relationship, or you realize you’re trying to control (or being controlled by) how money flows.
• Hard truths about self-worth: Pluto can dig up old wounds about how lovable or attractive you feel. Stuff you thought you’d gotten over can show up, making you question if you’re “enough.”
• Letting go of what’s comfortable: Sometimes you’ll have to let go of a relationship, friendship, or old pleasure that just doesn’t fit anymore, and Pluto makes that process feel super intense, like you’re losing a part of yourself.
• Drama and secrets: There can be jealousy, suspicion, or secrets coming to the surface in love, especially if someone hasn’t been totally honest.
• Intense attractions: You might feel pulled to someone totally out of your usual zone- sometimes, it’s downright inconvenient, but it’s hard to resist.

Opportunities during this transit

• Deep emotional connections: If you’re open to it, relationships can go way deeper than before. It’s possible to be truly vulnerable and connect at a soul level, especially if you’re both willing to face stuff honestly.
• Transformation of values: You’ll probably redefine what matters to you in love and money. Priorities can shift, and sometimes it’s for the better- you might realize you want something real and lasting, not just surface pleasure.
• Cleansing old wounds: This is a big window to heal old heartbreaks or issues around self-worth. Therapy, journaling, or just honest conversations with friends can move serious mountains now.
• Discovering new talents or aesthetics: You might get super into a new kind of art, fashion, or music. Sometimes people under this transit discover a hidden gift for something like photography or painting that changes their self-image.
• Empowerment through partnership: Working with someone (romantic or not) can help you both transform. The right collaboration can bring out strengths you didn’t know you had.
• Manifesting wealth by letting go: Sometimes, letting go of what no longer serves you (like an old investment or way of handling money) can help you bring in a new source of prosperity or even out-of-the-blue resources.
