Pluto Transits your natal Venus

When Transiting Pluto aspects your natal Venus...

...you are no longer satisfied with superficial relationships; you want something deep, complex, and consuming. Pluto is the planet of "death", therefore there is usually a death of some kind in regards to relationships (i.e. death of an existing relationship, death of previous relationship behaviors). For example this influence can also bring about an affair, or finding out one's partner has been having an affair. This is a very "sexy" transit, and the attractions you have during this transit are often intense and obsessive, and sexual drives are generally strong. Under this influence, you often meet a person with whom you have a life-changing and complex relationship. You feel magically drawn to this person, and might not understand why. This is because Pluto represents the unconscious, so your feelings for this person are generally the result of unconscious forces you find difficult to control. You might feel obsessed and possessive over this person, as Pluto brings an "all or nothing" energy to your relationships. Power struggles are thus common under this influence.

​

The physical component of the relationship is generally very strong; the need for physical closeness under this transit is intense. Pluto also represents the taboo, and the forbidden, so one is often attracted to unavailable partners under the influence of this transit (i.e. married, gay/lesbian, people from different areas). One thing this transit guarantees is personal evolution; we evolve through these relationships, as they uncover areas of our personalities we often keep hidden, and will teach you about personal intimacy. If partners separate, the passion and intensity they once shared is difficult to forget.  The relationships under this transit can also be financially or sexually exploitative, or even emotionally/sexually abusive, as Pluto represents domination, power, and control. The people you attract under this influence are generally Scorpio-like/Plutonian, and the synastry often reveals strong Pluto aspects and/or Scorpio placements.

The hard aspects (conjunction, square, and opposition) of transiting Pluto to your natal Venus increase the likelihood of power struggles, jealousy, possessiveness, and obsession in your relationships is increased. The harmonious aspects (trine and sextile) are generally less combative, though still intense, transformative, sexual, and enticing.
