Venus – Pluto Square – Angel Wings from Carrying the Cross of Fate

A tense aspect forming a 90-degree angle between celestial bodies is called a square. It indicates spontaneously arising difficulties in love, rooted in karmic pain from the past and psychological trauma received in childhood. The task of a person with the Venus – Pluto square is to free themselves from distorted mental habits that seek pleasure through pain.

They simply were not taught another way. In previous lives, they may have tormented and wounded the hearts of those who loved them, or allowed themselves to be humiliated. The present incarnation is given for moving to a new level of development, learning a bright, divine kind of love, and abandoning selfish infantilism.

The Danger of the Venus – Pluto Square

A person with the Venus – Pluto square becomes bored when everything is good and easy in relationships. The native provokes storms and conflicts, even unconsciously, becoming inflamed by an unsatisfied need for intense experiences, and can drive even a saint to a nervous breakdown. This aspect creates great difficulties on the path of creative realization, but at the same time awakens a greedy need for recognition. This leads the person, for the sake of fame, to:

• walk over others to reach the goal, agreeing to compromise conscience, deal with crime, or engage in intrigues against competitors;
• appeal to the public’s lower instincts through pornographic films, scandalous talk shows, staged brawls, and insults;
• enter marriage or love affairs for personal gain with married, depraved, or criminal representatives of show business;
• tease and provoke the public with planned indecent behavior and conversations.

In relationships with the opposite sex, a person with the Venus – Pluto square craves drama that breaks the bones of their self-esteem and sensuality. After burning to ashes and drinking deeply from the cup of pain, they claim to seek different, higher relationships, yet cannot find them because they compare everything with the former intensity of passion. A warm and trusting union will not satisfy them until spiritual growth takes place.

Even a sincerely loving partner will eventually begin to irritate them with ideal behavior and kindness, because deep down they believe they are unworthy of happiness. Dissatisfaction in love turns into a remarkable ability to earn money, which appears during breakups as compensation for psychological trauma. The Higher Powers teach the native to transform their value system through pain, forgiveness of childhood wounds, and respect for the partner.

The Venus – Pluto Square in a Woman’s Horoscope

A woman with the Venus – Pluto square shows sexual interest in peers and much older men from an early age. If the planet of love is in Scorpio, she is a femme fatale who stirs the imagination simply by entering the room; in Pisces or Cancer, she may become a victim of harassment; in Earth signs, she is an ice queen with a volcano of passion in her gaze; in the Air element, she is a lighthearted destroyer of hearts. In any case, men often perceive her as corrupted, available, and dark, which frequently wounds and offends her.

In essence, a woman with the Venus – Pluto square has a masculine character. She falls in love with “bad boys” in order to become good for them by proving devotion and love, but she may be destroyed by their vices or become drawn into criminal pleasures herself. Attempts to remake the partner lead to disappointment, because he is a reflection of herself. At a low level of development, intense emotional heat may lead to prostitution, scandals, and striptease performed for public display. At a high level, it becomes a surge of artistry and popularity.

The Venus – Pluto Square in a Man’s Horoscope

Men with the Venus – Pluto square adore unavailable and intriguing women, but at a low level of development their interest lies in pursuing the chosen woman, while at a higher stage it becomes a passionate, gradual process of winning her over. Once sincere love is reciprocated, the person with this square cools down. If the woman does not give him “Mexican passions” in the form of scandals with broken dishes, fits of jealousy, and stormy reconciliations, but is oriented toward trusting family relationships, then in ninety percent of cases the husband begins to seek this elsewhere, humiliating the once-desired wife.

Quiet life and everyday matters frighten the native. In business, he strives to subdue competitors and become the main expert or leader. After gaining high social status and prosperity, the need for moral violence toward the beloved woman is partly reduced.

How to Work Through the Venus – Pluto Square

A worked-through Venus – Pluto square makes the person devoted, loving, and compassionate, but the strong intensity of inner aggression prevents this from fully manifesting. It should be released through the intentional creation of extreme situations in sports and art: rock climbing, boxing, fencing, or stage shows using fire and lasers. Professions such as rescuer, investigator, actor, detective writer, astrologer, or miner are suitable. In personal relationships, great attention should be given to variety in sexual life through theatrical games and visits to exotic places.

Aggressiveness and vulgarity appear when Venus is weak, while the desire to suppress and humiliate appears when Pluto is malefic. To harmonize the aspect with stones, Venus should be strengthened in order to awaken the energy of pure love. This can be supported by diamonds in white gold, rhodochrosite, cacholong, malachite, white opal, quartz, and sapphire. Pluto is stabilized by dark diamond and rauchtopaz.  ✓
