Dealing with death and destruction in any constructive form, such as composing funeral music, becoming a grief counselor, working with trauma survivors or contributing to hospice care are some possible options. Engagement in any of these professions will certainly provide a healthy outlet to channel the potent energy represented by this conjunction. In some cases, this conjunction may symbolize love for healing oneself and others or a Soul mission to become a therapist, psychologist or counselor. Such an individual would summon up all those forgotten, festering wounds in every single encounter happening in the mundane world with unassuming friends or partners, feeling an impulse to re-create hurting scenarios in relationships in hopes of re-accessing those wounds in order to, perhaps, this time healing them to perfection. However, if this conjunction is under stress in the birth chart and remains psychologically unintegrated, the individual may fall in love with the wounds carried by her Soul, become magnetically attracted to the idea of her own annihilation (thus the eventual release from all pain), and allow Thanatos (the Death Drive) to overpower Eros (the Life Instinct). The smell of a particular perfume, the sound of a particular name, or the taste of a particular fruit may instantly summon the Soul through time and space, with all the unnamed longings attached to it, memories without a face yet with a trace, and wounds crusted and re-opened from life to life, yet never completely healed. The mundane world, what can be seen, heard, smelled, touched or tasted can also be reminiscent of the ancient longings of the Soul: the sense-sharpening kiss of a beloved can trigger long-forgotten cellular memory the gentle vapor rising from a cup of tea can recruit memories of misty lands where the Soul crossed lifetimes ago.
In this case, one may be reminded of one’s own yearning to evolve when simply using the five senses: observing the colorful wings of a butterfly, hearing the ceaseless cries of a baby bird, or smelling a fresh flower can all serve as doors to a deeper dimension. If the energies symbolized by Pluto and Venus are psychologically integrated, the Sense will be a direct portal to the Soul, allowing the Soul to manifest in the form of pleasure, equilibrium, and love. Venus, in short, is our reason for in-carnation, the kiss our soul has put on the lips of our body before entering it, the mortal melody which has seduced us into descending from the heavens to explore the many joys and pains of having a body in the first place.Ĭonjunction between Pluto and Venus can thus be interpreted as an inherent alignment between the Soul and the five-petalled Senses (five, as in the pentagram of Venus): with this alignment, the Soul manifests in the Sense, as the Sense is coronized by the Soul. It is the colors we choose, the flowers we buy, and the gifts we make. It is the clothes we wear, the writers we like, and the music we listen to. It is our aesthetics, our preferences, our priorities. It is our personal touch, our particular mode of connecting, loving, adoring, relaxing, savoring, and soothing. Venus, on the other hand, represents the soft and sweet in us, our cravings and our magnetism. As Venus also represents one’s particular style of befriending others, maintaining relationships, and expressing love and appreciation, this conjunction can also hint at the possibility of evolving through relationships and social contacts, through sensual or material desires, or through a particular passion with which one is “in love.”Īs discussed in a previous post, in psychological astrology Pluto represents a different aspect of our existence: it can be interpreted as the sum total of all we have successfully repressed or all that has triggered pain or shame in us and has thus been duly dismissed from the presence of our Consciousness. The proximity between these two symbols, therefore, can be read as an alignment between the evolutionary path of the Soul and the individual’s primary needs or heartfelt yearnings.
In evolutionary astrology, Pluto symbolizes the Soul, and Venus represents our basic needs and desires. You can also study Pluto Houses I and Pluto Houses II discussed in other posts. Please note that these are baseline interpretations and may be modified according to the presence of other factors in the chart. What does it mean to have Venus Square Pluto or Venus Trine Pluto in the natal chart? In this post, I will address Venus Pluto Aspects: all the major “hard” and “soft” aspects will be discussed.
