Transit Venus Square Natal Pluto

Intense relationship drama

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t push for deep, intense conversations about love or jealousy- things can get way too dramatic now.
• Avoid manipulating or trying to control your partner or friends; power struggles come easy with this transit.
• Try not to obsess over someone or something, especially in romantic matters- it’s easy to spiral.
• Don’t hold onto grudges or dig up old relationship issues; it can cause unnecessary drama.
• Avoid making major financial decisions, especially when it comes to shared resources or joint finances.
• Don’t get involved in love triangles or secret affairs; secrets are hard to keep, and things might blow up.
• Try not to be impulsive with buying luxury items or spending just to feel better.
• If you feel jealous, don’t act out or accuse others without proof- paranoia can run high now.
• Avoid ultimatums in relationships; things are more likely to break than bend right now.
• Don’t ignore your own boundaries just to keep the peace- you’ll end up resenting it later.

Do During This Transit

• Take a closer look at your relationships- notice where there’s control, jealousy, or power struggles.
• Do some deep self-reflection about your desires or what really matters to you in love and money.
• Let go of unhealthy attachments or negative patterns, especially in romance or friendships.
• Explore your passions or creative side- it’s a good time for art, music, or anything that helps you express intense feelings.
• Talk things out if something’s been bugging you (but try to stay calm- it’s easy to get intense now).
• Work on forgiveness, either for yourself or someone else. Set down any old grudges.
• Be honest with yourself: Are you trying to control a situation or person? Maybe try to loosen your grip.
• Spend time alone if you need to recharge or process strong emotions.
• Try activities that help you transform or grow, like therapy, journaling, or meditation.
• Watch out for drama or manipulation- step back if things feel toxic or overwhelming.

What’s interesting about this transit?

When Venus squares natal Pluto, it’s not just your average “bumpy road” in love or money. If you look through some old astrology texts from past centuries, you’ll find all sorts of uncommon takes on this transit:

• The Chaldean Tablets (Babylonian astrology): Some ancient scribes said this transit could signal “earthly treasures overturned,” meaning hidden wealth or secrets coming out, sometimes as a warning of buried truths about family inheritances or dowries.
• Medieval Arabic astrologers: They wrote that Venus square Pluto might bring “the perfume of forbidden love,” suggesting temptations and attractions that could risk honor or reputation, especially if you’re already in a committed relationship.
• Renaissance European texts: Some old manuscripts pointed to this transit as a period of “venom in the cup,” hinting at a time when jealousy or envy poisons what should be sweet- like friendships going sour over envy or suspicion.
• Indian astrology (Jyotish): Some rare commentaries connected this kind of planetary tension with “sudden reversals in partnerships,” saying past-life debts around affection or loyalty could pop up now, pushing people to pay their emotional dues.
• Traditional Chinese astrology: There are notes about “the beauty of the shadow,” telling people to watch out for seductive forces that drag their desires into places they wouldn’t usually go, occasionally mentioning secret liaisons or hidden affairs.

Experiencing This Transit

When Venus squares your natal Pluto, things just feel intense. It’s like someone threw a spotlight on the parts of your relationships or values that you usually keep hidden. You might get the urge to obsess over someone or something- maybe a romantic crush, a partner, or even your own appearance. This energy can make everything feel all-or-nothing, giving you tunnel vision when it comes to love, beauty, jealousy, or what you want from others.

Money stuff can also get weird around this time. You might feel obsessed with getting what you think you “deserve”- or super jealous if someone else seems to have it all. Sometimes, people experience sudden changes in their partnerships (think break-ups, make-ups, or big arguments that totally transform how things work).

Challenges during this transit

• Jealousy and Control: You might notice yourself wanting to control your partner or feeling really possessive- like you don’t want to let go, even over small things. Sometimes you’ll imagine problems that aren’t really there, just because the energy’s turned up so high.
• Temptation to Manipulate: If you’re feeling insecure, you might try to manipulate someone to get what you want- whether that’s their attention, affection, or even money.
• Old Wounds Coming Up: Fights or emotional outbursts might surprise you (or others), especially if you realize you’re still upset about something that happened ages ago. Unfinished business can come rushing to the surface now.
• Sudden Endings: Some people experience abrupt endings in love or friendships right now if things have been tense for a while- this transit just adds fuel to the fire.
• Issues with Self-Worth: You might compare yourself to others, either feeling less-than or like you need to “prove” your value, especially if money or status is involved.

Opportunities during this transit

• Major Relationship Growth: If you’re willing to face what’s coming up, you could totally transform your closest relationships for the better. This is a powerful time for deep, honest talks that clear the air- even if it’s uncomfortable at first.
• Discovering Hidden Truths: You might find out new information about someone you care about, or even about yourself, and while it might sting, it gives you the freedom to make better choices.
• Letting Go of What Doesn’t Serve You: Use this time to drop toxic patterns- like obsessing over likes on social media, picking jealous fights, or holding on to grudges. You can actually free yourself if you’re honest.
• Big Creative Surges: There’s so much passion in the air with this transit that it can be channeled into art, music, or intense creative projects- anything where you can pour out deep feelings.
• Total Makeover Energy: If you want to change something about how you look or present yourself, this transit gives you the drive to do it- but in a way that gets to the real you, not just the surface.
• Catharsis and Healing: Even though things can get messy, it’s a chance to face your stuff and come out stronger, more empowered, and way less weighed down by old baggage.
