Transit Pluto Conjunct Venus: Love and Values Transformed

Transit Pluto conjunct Venus is the period when Pluto passes over the natal Venus, and love and values are reshaped from the roots. The short answer: relationships intensify, shallow bonds no longer satisfy, and the person rediscovers what they truly love and value. The influence lasts one to three years, usually with three exact passes because of retrogrades.

What happens when transit Pluto conjoins Venus?

Venus describes love, attraction, beauty and money. Under this conjunction the person may live through an intense, life-changing love, or face deep issues such as power balance, jealousy and commitment within an existing relationship. Money and values transform too: a spending pattern kept for years may be dropped, or an asset restructured. A deep interest in art and aesthetics may awaken.

As Pluto approaches, attraction and desire build. At the exact passes relationships intensify, and as it separates a new understanding of love takes root.

Passion and control

The shadow of this period is turning love into possession. Jealousy, obsessive attachment or power games in a relationship may become marked. The aim is not to run from love but to move it onto more honest and equal ground.

• Openly discussing real needs in the relationship
• Making financial decisions without haste and on the record
• Rewriting one's list of values

The houses ruled by natal Venus, those with Taurus and Libra on their cusps, also become the stage for deep change during this period.
