Avoid During Transit Pluto Square Venus
- Don’t rush into new romantic relationships or make big love decisions. This transit can bring intense feelings and power struggles, and it’s easy to get swept up in drama.
- Avoid obsessing over loved ones or relationships. This energy can make jealousy and possessiveness stronger, so try to keep things balanced.
- Don’t ignore red flags in relationships. If you sweep problems under the rug now, they could blow up later.
- It’s not the best time for big financial risks- Venus also rules money, and Pluto squares can bring instability or unexpected expenses.
- Don’t manipulate or try to control others to get what you want, especially in love or money matters. Power plays can backfire during this transit.
- Avoid holding onto toxic relationships just because of fear or attachment. Pluto pushes for transformation, so it’s better to let go if something isn’t working.
- Try not to lash out or make impulsive choices when you’re upset. Emotions run deep now, but reacting without thinking can cause bigger problems.
- Don’t use sex or intimacy as a way to solve other issues in your relationships. It won’t fix what really needs to be addressed.
- Avoid comparing yourself to others or getting caught up in feelings of low self-worth. Pluto square Venus can dig up insecurities- focus on healing, not self-criticism.
To Do During Transit Pluto Square Venus
- Reflect deeply on your relationships- this is a time to get honest with yourself about what you really want and need from love and connection.
- Work on letting go of unhealthy relationship patterns or toxic connections. If something’s not serving you, it’s okay to release it.
- Focus on self-love and boosting your self-worth. Try new ways to take care of yourself emotionally and physically.
- Keep an eye out for power struggles in relationships. Use these moments to learn about your own boundaries and needs.
- Channel intense feelings into creative projects- art, music, or writing can be super healing right now.
- Explore therapy, journaling, or other tools for deep emotional healing. Old wounds might come up, but facing them helps you grow.
- Rethink your approach to money and possessions. It’s a smart time to transform your finances or break away from habits that aren’t working.
- Be open to big changes in your friendships or love life. New people or opportunities might show up, but only if you’re willing to make room for them.
- Practice grounding techniques- meditation, walks in nature, or just taking some quiet time for yourself can help with the intensity of this transit.
What’s Interesting About Transit Pluto Square Venus?
- According to Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul (Jeff Green, 1985), this transit can force you to confront “mesmerizing relationships” that have karmic undertones- those connections that feel oddly familiar but also bring up hidden jealousies or unresolved power struggles from past lives.
- In Astrological Timing: The Transition to the New Age (Dane Rudhyar, 1972), it’s mentioned that Pluto square Venus can “bring out the submerged unfulfillment” from early romantic experiences, kind of like old patterns of disappointment surfacing in your current love life, making you act out old stories without even realizing it.
- Planets in Aspect (Robert Pelletier, 1974) states that this transit often triggers what he calls “creative compulsions”: you might feel an almost irresistible urge to throw yourself into a new art form or radically change your aesthetic tastes, and this urge can actually disrupt the harmony in your relationships if you’re not careful.
- In The Astrology of Transformation (Dane Rudhyar, 1980), Rudhyar points out that Pluto-Venus tension can manifest as a “deep repulsion or attraction to certain values or luxurious possessions.” In other words, you might suddenly develop a strong dislike for things you used to love, or a powerful craving for stuff you never thought you wanted.
- Astrological Essays (Charles E.O. Carter, 1957) brings up that Pluto square Venus sometimes shows up as an “inability to enjoy simple pleasures” because there’s an underlying feeling that nothing is quite deep or intense enough, leading some people to become bored or easily dissatisfied in their relationships.
- In The Modern Text Book of Astrology (Margaret E. Hone, 1951), there’s an odd note that this transit can lead to secretiveness about money, sometimes even hidden debts or compulsive spending, as Venus rules both love and finances.
- According to The Astrologer’s Handbook (Sakoian & Acker, 1973), you might attract partners who remind you of “troublemakers” or “manipulators” from your own family background, and this serves a deep subconscious purpose- almost like your psyche trying to work through buried issues.
Experiencing Transit Pluto Square Venus
When Pluto makes a square to your natal Venus, it’s intense! Venus is all about love, money, relaxation, and beauty. Pluto? He’s the planet of transformation, power, obsession, and digging up secrets. When these two clash, you’ll definitely feel it- it’s almost like the universe is pushing you into the deep end of the pool, wanting you to face stuff you’d rather avoid.
This isn’t a “normal” astrology transit where things pass with a gentle nudge. You might notice sudden cravings, very strong attractions, or conflicts that seem to build out of nowhere. Emotions go from zero to a hundred, and what you want or who you love can get super complicated.
Challenges during Transit Pluto Square Venus
- You might get drawn to intense or even toxic relationships. It could be a romance that feels life-or-death, or even a friendship with unhealthy power games.
- Obsession or jealousy can pop up out of the blue, either from you or someone else. Old wounds about love, beauty, or self-worth might come roaring back.
- This is a common time for secrets to come out- cheating, hidden crushes, financial stuff you’ve tucked away, or even something you didn’t know about yourself.
- Pluto squares often make you feel compulsive, so you might overindulge in shopping, food, or other pleasures, and regret it later. Watch those “just one more” moments.
- Arguments with people you love, especially if there’s a back-and-forth about control, loyalty, or fairness. Family dramas can hit hard, especially if money’s involved.
- Feeling unattractive or doubting your worth, even if nothing’s really changed. Pluto loves to dig up old insecurities so you can’t ignore them anymore.
Opportunities during Transit Pluto Square Venus
- This is the perfect time to face your fears about relationships, money, or self-love. Pluto wants you to figure out what’s really valuable to you, not just what looks good on the outside.
- You might find the guts to set strong boundaries. If you’ve been too nice or let people walk over you, now’s when you’ll finally say “enough.”
- If you’re creative, this can be a crazy powerful period. Pluto brings depth, so you could make art, music, or writing that really hits the core of what you feel.
- Old patterns (like always going for the wrong type, or spending to feel better) come up for a reason- you can break them for good if you’re honest with yourself.
- Relationships get more real. With all the drama Pluto brings, fake or shallow connections may fade, but the ones that survive get way deeper and stronger.
- You’ll learn how to handle attraction and desire with more maturity. It means figuring out the difference between what you want, what you need, and what’s just habit or fantasy.
