Celebrities hitting sore spots

[darkdreamer]

I just want to share something with you.
I realized that I have a sore spot in my horoscope;
my Venus is 6° Capricorn
and my Pluto is 9° Libra
and my Midheaven is 5° Libra.
That Venus-Pluto-Midheaven-square draws much attention nowadays; probably because the transiting Pluto sits on my Sun will conjunct my Venus in some years.

However, I`ve realized that I tend to like (well, "like" isn`t the right word, after all therè`s Pluto involved here) celebrities, actors and singers who hit this sore spot.
I just looked up a few.

Jude Law:
Sun: 7° Capricorn
Pluto: 04° Libra
MC: 08° Libra

Orlando Bloom:
Adonis: 7° Capricorn
Mercury: 8° Capricorn
Mars: 9° Capricorn

Gerry Butler (a very shortlived infatuation of mine)
Moon: 08° Capricorn
Eros: 06° Libra
Uranus: 07° Libra

Jerome Pradon (a french musical - singer; the best Judas ever!)
Venus: 06° Cancer
southern Node: 03° Capricorn

Paul Kribbe (a dutch musical-singer; "My" Man of La Mancha)
Adonis: 10° Libra
Mercury: 07° Aries
Eros: 07° Aries


Well, those were just the ones I came up with at the moment.
But I think I see a pattern here. I seem to feel attracted to people who trigger that Venus-Pluto-Midheaven-aspect. And of course that is true for real life, too. There`s almost always personal planets in the beginning of Libra and Capricorn, or Cancer and Aries to a lesser degree, in the synastry with people who have a strong impact on me.

have you similiar experiences? That you seem to have a "radar" to seek out such persons, that trigger so called "difficult" energies (which make life interesting; I wouldn`t want to live without my Venus-Pluto-square; how dull life would be without it.)?

Hi darkdreamer,

I myself don't have Venus "sore" spot, but have noticed that the strongest attraction ever was with someone who has Venus-Mars conjunction in square with his Pluto-Uranus conjunction.
My Venus was exactly opposite his Mars, plus it was a midpoint with his Venus-Mars. So my Venus activated very strogly all these conjunctions/squares.
Unfortunately, through experience, I grew to dislike synastrical Venus-Pluto squares. Yes, at the beginning, they are all consuming, and passion is out of this world (especially if Mars is also involved). But I've noticed that square brings with it too much of an obsessive, controlling, manipulating energy, it is very hard to live with long-term. I think that two people have to be so spiritually evolved and mature to handle this energy wisely, but very often this is not the case, and it gets out of hand. Jealousy, provoking jealousy, obsessions and insecurity are order of the day. Perhaps I am veering of the topic, but so much drama I could handle in my youth, but now I see that it is not healthy, and that, at least for me, when I see synastrical Venus-Pluto square or opposition, it waves the red flag.
But to return to the topic, I think that most of us have noticed a definitive pattern of attracting people with the same placements that tie into our own chart, whether provoking difficult or easier patterns. For me, this is men with Moon in Libra and Venus in Scorpio, have no idea why, but it happens over and over again.

You're right, lubenica. Venus square Pluto in synestry can bring a jealousy tendancy caused by insecurity. My husband's Venus opposes his Neptune (looking for the ideal woman) and squares my Pluto. He was very jealous and insecure to the point of paranoia. It didn't begin until the marriage licience was signed though. It was really intense for a while there but after about two years we worked through it. He just had to believe he was good enough and I had to show him that.

Hi AE,

Yes, Venus-Pluto in synastry has been one of my patterns (I myself don't have it in my natal).
3 relationships with exact Venus (me) - Pluto (them) square. Always obsessive, controlling, overpowering. Even though it was excruciatingly hard to let go, I was always the one to leave, as I couldn't be in such relationships, perhaps because I don't have it in my chart.
So this was definitely something to repeat, and always an exact square. Now, in my marriage, I don't have this, instead we have Jupiter conjunct Venus, and I can say, it is like breath of fresh air, so much healthier relationship.
You were very lucky to have worked it out with your hubby, because I know many couples who find it really hard to handle those energies. It has to be one of the most obsessive, soul churning, deeply painful aspects in synastry (I mean Venus-Pluto square, opposition, conjunction).
Perhaps people who have this aspect in their natal chart have learnt how to handle it, and how to recognize "danger" signs, eg. jealousy, obsession, possesivness, game playing. But for someone like me, whose poor Venus only trines Mars and Uranus (all in air signs), this aspect has proven far to heavy to handle.
