Mars Pluto con is about now That is opposite my Venus and I think it may be why I am feeling things very strongly When something is funny on tv I am laughing out loud and long like a giggly teenager at the slightest humour I only have to think of someone I love and tears form And I am a bit reactive to other people's comments tho have enough control to stop that getting out of hand As I usually need an appointment to have an emotion as natal Saturn is lurking behind my Venus/Moon Cancer I am rather enjoying this spontaneity but I think it is temporary.............

Ana, you are so funny! I usually need to make an appointment to have an emotion! That's cracking me up. I'm in the same boat--Mars/Pluto opposite Venus--and I have been more expressive lately too! I think I'm learning to trust my feelings and let them live out. Not necessarily temporary!  |

Ah I hope you are right Kim about this new access to feelings being a real change not a passing one I have had to spend a lot of my life learning techniques for shifting stuck emotions out of the body which has given me skills for therapies It would be nice to do less of this one on myself I am glad to know you are feeling this opposition as expressive too as I was wondering if you would

Hi Ana,
My Vesta is at 00 CAN 24. So far, so good! However, I've been a little worried about Pluto opposing my Venus at 5 CAN 45. My Pisces Moon already tears up over Hallmark commercials or pictures of cute kittens. I can't imagine getting even more emotional and still managing to function! I was hoping to do something spectacular during the transit. Maybe get married or something equally life changing. But I fear all I will do is cry all the time and waste the opportunity. :-(

Pluto has been opposite my Venus/Mars midpoint (at 0 Cancer 35) and I can definitely say that it's ramped up the emotional energy, it's the first time I've really been aware of that midpoint being energised. Being a solstice point I feel it when the sun hits it but this has been much more sustained, I've been really conscious of emotion flowing spontaneously which, like for Ana, has been a shock! Long may it continue though!

I had an insight this morning about Pluto opposite my 0 degree Cancer Venus and approaching my 8 degree Capricorn Mars. Two motifs in past relationships for me where 'betrayal' and 'control'. I've come to understand those themes in an entirely different way and it has been trough the experience of friends (my Venus in the 11th, T. Pluto in 5th) that has brought this to the foreground. As these people who are dear to me discuss THEIR relationships with betrayal and control/manipulation issues, I can see how much I've changed. Betrayal, aside from a cultural construct, is a state of mind. What is it in me that is being betrayed? I can't see that anymore--no place for hooks to latch. Same with control. Seriously, control and manipulation take two to tango. If I don't play that game, it can't happen. The only thing any of us control is our thoughts, and we always have the choice of what to think. No exceptions. Does this resonate? Anyone else had this kind of perspective as Pluto leaves an aspect to Venus? I'd love to compare notes!  Kim |

Hi Kim – your insights on control and betrayal seem to offer sweet, sweet freedom! I love it!
My Venus is at 28 Gem so I think Pluto’s last opposition was last Oct. Looking back over the last couple of years, I’ve undergone an evolution related to how I think about and deal with emotions.
1st – I’ve given myself permission to feel whatever I feel without judgment. But I look at those emotions as providing information about beliefs I am holding. Some of those beliefs get to stay, some have to go! Before, I would just grit my teeth and wait for a tough emotion to pass - that is if I didn’t repress it first. Now I think of emotions as illumination for beliefs that may need to be reevaluated. Finally!
2nd - I now look at my emotions as ENTIRELY mine. No one can cause me to experience anything – my experience is entirely up to me. Perhaps this is similar to your revelation about control and betrayal, Kim. As I see things now, if I’m in a Tango with you and you step on my foot, that I got my foot stepped on is my responsibility, as is how I respond to it. Your experience is yours. If we are in a relationship we may be able to support one another, but ultimately we are responsible for only our own perspective, experience, actions.
The importance of being honest with myself and willing to face what I feel about anything/anyone now seems paramount. Knowing that my thoughts direct the whole process gives me autonomy.
I’m not sure if these are Pluto/Venus things, however. They seem a little moon-ish but this change in thinking has altered how I experience all relationships and encounters with others.
Thanks for asking this question!

Airedale these are very wise words, thank you! And it seems very Pluto/Venus to me - your way of handling and responding to emotions has evolved (a very Pluto word) and it is essentially taking back your own power (Pluto again) by owning your emotions. Wonderful.

I agree with Ariesmoon. because your change in thinking has altered how (you) experience all relationships and encounters with others. Venus rules our socially significant relationships. When you realize you are in control of those experiences, you've gotten Pluto's message loud and clear! Bravo! |

Re my Venus being opp by Pliuto I have had issues over feeling betrayed by a workmate who did not inform me of something I regarded as crucial info Logically I know she had a sick parent and a lot of stress So maybe she just forgot But I cut off from her completely to lick my wounds Someone tried to repair the damage and I said no I would rather let us bump into each other and see what happens when I had time to get over it That has happened and it seems fine But I do not trust her any more Whether this is justified or not remains to be seen long term.......... A friend who is well known for being manipulative and controlling as well as a lot of fun has been pressing my buttons more than usual I am coping with it though But I do tend to go into orbit about these things on my own and then process them before I see the other person........not sure if that is a cop out or a sign of maturity...............  And sadly the welcome free flowing emotions seem to have reverted to a trickle Nice while it lasted........ |
