Venus – Pluto In Synastry

 July 12, 2013  Scorpius  Blog

Whenever any of these two planets are touching each

other in a synastry (a combined chart of two people)
something very powerful happens.

Pluto is concentrated energy, pure focus, ruthless

action beyond control, obsession, destruction and
reconstruction.

Venus is charm, grace  and beauty. It’s social

interaction and the outlet for love. It’s purity and
blessed union.

Now, combine these two concepts and you get one of

the most “fated” and “trapped into” relationships you’ll
ever have. This is deeper than Mars – Venus synastry
contacts.

The bond is felt like something beyond your control,

and, especially in the beginning of the relationship,
this might be frightening. First, you feel this
unspeakable attraction towards the person in front of

15/03/2018 Venus - Pluto In Synastry - Astrology Bits

you and you’re drawn to that person like a moth to

ame. You surrender. And start interacting, talking
and, from the rst words, you feel like there was
something meant to be. Things usually evolve very fast
and, before you even realize what’s happening to you,
you wake up one morning with an obsessive,
compulsive and oh, so incredibly beautiful and intense
relationship. You feel the depth of what’s lying in front
of you and, scared, you try to run. Alas, it’s not
possible. It really isn’t. You’re stuck.

And for a good reason: Pluto-Venus relationships are

not meant to be avoided. They are meant to be lived,
consumed down to your last living cell. The “infection”
of Pluto in your being is unstoppable. So, usually, the
person who “is” Pluto in this combination calls the
shots. But, mind you, if there’s enough of emotional
maturity, Venus can subtly undermine Pluto position
and put him through some tough tests too, if not
driving him totally crazy. But, most of the time, it’s the
Pluto person who holds the power.

Pluto wants to “merge” with Venus, wants to

transform her from the core, wants to burn down all of
her charms and rejoice in the ames. And then he
wants to rebuild Venus from the ashes, just to be able
to start over again. In a way, this is exactly what’s
happening, especially if there are other hard aspects in
the synastry, or if one, or both of the partners are not
very mature or aware. Sooner or later they’ll slip into a
gigantic emotional roller-coaster, in which the need to
be with one another is simply irrepressible, and they’ll
start spinning until they – metaphorically – die. Which
usually translates into some kind of rupture or

15/03/2018 Venus - Pluto In Synastry - Astrology Bits

separation. If the “garbage” that needs to be cleaned

up by Pluto was cleaned, the rupture is for good. If
not, the two zombies will meet again, in a hypnotic
dance of love and hate, until the roller–coaster will
throw them down again, tired, bruised and completely
transformed.

Pluto-Venus aspects are not about durability, you

need some serious Saturn in the synastry in order to
make it last. Pluto-Venus is about explosion, is about
deep transformation and rebirth. Now, if you are
fortunate enough to have some Saturn aspects as well
in the chart, like Saturn on the Ascendant in the
Composite (which will make the relationship very self-
contained), or, even better, some smooth Venus-
Saturn interaspects in the syanstry, then you’re in for a
real treat. Not only you’ll experience the intensity of
the Pluto-Venus dance, but you will have and
enduring relationship. Meaning that each crisis will
push you higher and higher. The potential for
evolution in this combination is enormous. Yes, there
will be a roller coaster, but with each deadly spin you’ll
evolve into something bigger or better, AND, you will
do this together – Saturn will take care about that.
And will take about that for a long time.

Now, a little bit about jealousy and possessiveness.

Yes, these are real dangers in a Venus – Pluto
relationship. The Pluto person being the one
experiencing them, and in a very nasty manner.The
slightest sign of independence from the part of the
Venus person is often misinterpreted as a sign of
ending the relationship. Pluto is intense and he wants
it all or nothing, now or never. Venus is sociable, and a

smile is just a smile. But for Pluto, seeing the Venus

person smiling to another one, feels like a stab in the
back. And that makes them feel powerless, defeated,
deserted. Of course, they’re not, Venus is still their
prisoner, but that’s how Pluto feels. So, they start to
reconquer the lost ground.

And one of the most common approaches to yield

back their power is withdrawal. The Pluto persons,
once they know how deep they are in the other
partner, start to slowly withdraw, to become
unavailable. It’s not that they don’t want to merge
anymore with Venus. On the contrary, they want it so
much and so deep that’s almost unspeakable. But they
want to do it exclusively. They want to draw Venus in
their territory, to lure her into their dark house, to
consume her in their bed up to the last bit of esh and
bones. So, they start this game of “catch-me-if-you-
can” which can be tempting and exciting for a while,
but, as all Plutonian things, it will not be only for a
while. It will be taken to extremes. That’s where things
can get nasty. If Venus is not mature enough, she
could either be emotionally imprisoned by Pluto, or
she could run away, leaving Pluto crying in an ocean of
misery. Either way, if there’s not enough emotional
maturity involved, it could end bad.

And then, there’s the sex. Violent, total, tantric sex.

The Pluto person will be the one surprised initially. The
energies aroused in him / her by the Venus person are
almost uncontainable. Pluto needs to have sex with
Venus, no matter what, period. And it will be the kind
of sex you will remember in 20 years, still trembling
with pleasure.

So, that’s what usually happens when there is only a

one way aspect, one person is only Pluto and the
other one is only Venus.

But what happens when we have a “double-

whammy”, meaning the partners are taking turns? The
A person Pluto forms an aspect to the B person Venus,
but the B person Pluto also aspects the A person
Venus.

Well, there is good news and there is bad news. The

good news is that, eventually, there will be a little bit
of a balance here. The partners will take turns in calling
the shots. There will be some sort of a power split
between them. The bad news is that it will take some
time until this balance is reached. And, usually, this will
be a very ugly time: power games, mind games,
manipulation, obsession, jealousy, everything will be
used, because now there are two Pluto in the eld.
You can easily imagine how this adds up to the
intensity of the relationship. It’s one of those
relationships that are changing your life from the
roots: you meet with a friend you haven’t seen in a
year and he doesn’t recognize you anymore. You’ve
been through a double-whammy Venus – Pluto
relationship and now you’re literally a di erent person.

The cleanse that Pluto exerts is necessary. Pluto is “the

garbage man”, it takes out what’s not needed
anymore and strips it away from you. The problem is
that it does this with absolutely no manners. He
doesn’t know what manners are, he just does his job.
At the end of the power clash, you will feel so much
more powerful than in the beginning. And, again, if

you are lucky enough to have some Saturn there, you

will enjoy a very rewarding partnership, for a long
time.

Note: the violent games are taking place when there

are hard aspects: conjunction or opposition. The
square is particularly prone to increased tension (both
in the attraction and rejection areas). With the trine
and sextile, the ow is more manageable, and that
usually indicates that one or both of the partners are
realistically aware and able to cope maturely with the
situation.
