Transit Venus Conjunct Natal Pluto: Intense Attraction, Deep Bonds

Transit Venus conjunct natal Pluto is a period of intensity lasting two or three days that can still leave a deep mark. Venus is love, attraction and value; Pluto is passion, power and transformation. Under this conjunction light flirting gives way to magnetic attraction; the person tires of the superficial and wants depth.

What happens when transit Venus conjoins Pluto?

Even a glance can feel charged. For those in a relationship, sexual and emotional intimacy deepens, but the same intensity can surface as jealousy or possessiveness. Sometimes a message from an ex or a buried feeling suddenly returns. A strong desire can appear around money as well: the wish to own something, to prove one's worth. In art and aesthetics this intensity is valuable fuel; a person may attach to a work, a place or a piece of music with almost obsessive attention.

Living the passion without turning it into control

Tension and attraction build on approach, peak at the exact conjunction and are digested as Venus moves on. Venus crosses this point every year; in a retrograde year it can touch the same degree three times and spread the effect over several weeks. Pluto is a generational planet, so the area of life where the conjunction is felt depends on the house Pluto occupies.

This energy can go into honest intimacy, a postponed relationship conversation or throwing oneself wholeheartedly into a creative work. Checking a partner's phone, testing them or using feelings as leverage wears the bond down. The house with Scorpio on its cusp, the area Pluto rules, intensifies during these days too.
