Venus Conjunct Pluto in Capricorn: Part One

Transcript:

Hey everyone this is Acyuta-bhava from Nightlight Astrology and today we are going to start the first of a series looking at Venus and Pluto. Now this is a part of Venus's upcoming retrograde and Venus is moving through a conjunction with Pluto before stationing turning retrograde and then moving back through a conjunction with Pluto. So we have a lot of this Venus Pluto dynamic ahead of us in the next couple of weeks. So we're going to start today, we'll probably do at least one more video Thursday or Friday this week. But figured we should start unpacking it now. So I want to update you guys on the Kickstarter, we have 24 days left to go. And we are at 567 backers, our goal for the year is 1367.

I couldn't do this work without all of you and I have I feel like I have the best audience. So I deeply thank you for your participation in this year's fundraiser.

Okay, so that being said, let's look at the real time clock. And we are going to take a look at Venus's upcoming conjunction with Pluto. So here you can see, Venus is and I've talked about Venus Pluto in many previous videos because every time throughout the year Venus goes through conjunction square opposition closing square with Pluto. So it's we visit Venus Pluto several times a year. But this one's particularly powerful because of Venus's speed and the length of time that Venus is going to spend with Pluto in the next couple of weeks. So here's Wednesday, December 8 moving forward today, it's still less than a degree away because it's really slowing down to station and turn retrograde. So if you go all the way to Friday, December 10. It's still not conjoined. And that's very slow for Venus to not be moving more, Venus typically moves about a degree per day. So finally on Saturday morning, you can see December 11 that the two are coming together, down to the minute. And then by Sunday, you can see that Venus is moving past but still on the same degree. Look at that by Monday, it's still on the exact same degree within minutes. And then by Tuesday, you're starting to see a little bit of separation. And it gets to about a degree away one degree away by the 17th of December, right and then it stations on the 18th 19th and we have a turning retrograde into the 20th. Then it's going to pull backward. Now let's look at what happens. This is by December 23. So here you can see Venus going backward and conjoining with Pluto at the 25th degree crossing over at the 25th degree that's December 25, Merry Christmas, and then you get the is sitting at that 25th degree all the way till December 27 doesn't get about, you know, a degree away until December 28. And then Mercury comes in and conjoined with Pluto between the 29th and 30th. So I mean, we have such a lineup of Plutonian energy, Venus Pluto in particular, but Pluto is very much featured between now and the end of the year.

And don't forget that as all of this is happening, right around Christmas time, you're also going to see Saturn and Uranus get into the square with one another. So this is an very action packed sequence, arguably the biggest transit of the year considering put it but we put both of them together. So save the best for last for 2021 perhaps but at any rate, today, I want to talk a little bit start opening this up and looking at this archetypal combination. So when we think about Venus, you think you're thinking about the goddess of love. But what is Venus's kind of underlying philosophical principle if you want to say that there's a kind of philosophical principle at the core of the archetypal mandalas like the the central, the central image at the inside of a tapestry. Venus brings unlike things and finds some sympathy between them in order to harmonise them. So we say that Venus is the principle of relationships, but what we really mean is that Venus relates things together. And it finds a way of relating things together by nature of what they share, or what may be complementary or what may be somehow symmetrical. But it's not that Venus indicates everything that is just rosy and dandy. There's always work with Venus in terms of harmonising things that don't always have everything in common necessarily. So the work of Venus is always about finding likeness in different areas of life as Venus transits throughout the year.

If you ever feel like doing this, take a take a journal, and watch the whole sign house ingresses. Watch Venus through the houses in your chart. And notice what kinds of work is being done in those areas to bring things together. It's like a diplomat travelling through your chart trying to make arrangements and agreements that takes work to do that. It's not the kind of work of Mars, it's not the kind of work of Saturn, there's a little bit more grace and ease and flow, like an artist bringing things together. But nonetheless, the work is still that of creating harmony. So what are some of the things that Venus deals with while trying to create harmony. One of the things that Venus deals with is lust. And the let's just call it desire. Mars deals with desire, Venus deals with desire, but in different ways. When you think about Venus, you think about the object of desire, and the attempts made to draw that object of desire to us naturally, organically. The secret side of that attraction is going to be Mars. Mars is always present where Venus is, they are like a dyad. So Venus's way of getting things done, or getting things accomplished isn't necessarily any less selfish than Mars can be. It can be just as aggressive and passionate and hungry for something, whatever it might be an outcome or result a person is the state of state of mind. But whatever it is, it's an object that appeals to Venus, I want that that's beautiful. That looks like it would be pleasing. And then the way that Venus goes about getting it is through drawing it inward, Mars presses outward, Venus draws inward. So Venus's tactics for getting something that we want, is not always going to appear as aggressive on the surface, but it can be just as active and assertive in trying to get what it wants, but it may do so in ways that are more more they look at least more passive.

For example, with Venus you will often see more secretive forms of competition in the workplace. For example, I can't tell you how many times I've seen a Venus retrograde in someone's 10th house and there's a lot of underhandedness or ways of trying to get ahead Is that sort of bend the rules are played by the rules or in, in one sense, on the level of appearances, everything looks nice, but under the surface, the way that something is being done, or someone's trying to get something that they want is selfish or manipulative or something like that. So, you know, Venus can be a little bit more cloak and dagger. But don't forget that Mars is wherever Venus is. That's an important thing. And so the same could be said, is true for Mars as well. But at any rate, so when you think about betrayal, when you think about jealousy, when you think about possessiveness, when you think about passive aggression, when you think about gossip, when you think about manipulation, when you think about things happening behind your back, those are the kinds of things that Venus can bring about when Venus is going through any kind of challenge. And those are exactly the kinds of things that tend to get amplified when Venus is retrograding, turning retrograde, and specifically when Venus gets into it with Pluto.

So what is the potential here? Well, you're going to have on display your desires, what do I want? What do I find attractive? What where am I trying to create some kind of agreement or satisfy my desires or urges or instincts or impulses? And how am I trying to do them in a way that is less aggressive, direct, combative, hostile than Mars would do things, but nonetheless, I'm still trying to get something that I want. I'm still trying to get something that I desire. And what are the what are the subtle ways that that can get caught up in things? Jealousy, envy, possessiveness, betrayal, secrets, gossip. And the question here with Venus, Pluto is, as we become aware of these patterns, as we become aware of some of the unhealthy desires that we have, or the unhealthy ways in which we're trying to go about accomplishing or getting what we desire either way, can we make a change? Can we make a shift? Pluto will reveal things to us about the either the object of our desire itself, or the way in which we're trying to get what we desire. Either way, there's there's some change, there's some call to examine and, and look at things. I don't think it's bad to have desires, right. So that's not the message here. And I don't think that it's that Venus's way of operating is always bad, either. There's different ways of going about, you know, a pursuit of our desires and wishes. There's a Mars way and there's a Venus way and I don't really see one is better than the other. But knowing Venus can justify a lot, so long as things look nice. Venus can justify a lot of, you know, the, the selfish ambitions and desires and breeds and lusts of of the soul by placating or pacifying or making something look nice on the surface. So there's also kind of what's on the surface versus what's within this desire, what's within this approach I'm taking. That's the kind of stuff that Venus and Pluto can reveal to us.

There's a number of things that come with Venus, Pluto, for example, that are interesting, like, one of the things that's been talked about by many astrologers over the over the years that I've studied, astrology, at least, has always been sexual addiction. Now, I'm not going to talk about sex addiction at all. But what I do want to mention is the fact that with sex addiction, the Venus Pluto dynamic, I'm talking about, what's there really is the way in which an impulse or a desire can take over and with many addictions, not just sex, but like, let's say food addiction, Venus, Pluto potential, any kind of sensual experience that we get completely addicted to. With that addiction, comes all sorts of devious secret ways of trying to maintain it without letting people know what's you know what's going on. And not that everyone in the world needs to know exactly what's going on inside of us either. But there's some way in which if we're in denial, if we can't face it, and look at it and say, okay, what am I looking at in the mirror here? And how do I need to change? Which is the most important thing. But if we can't do that, if we're like, No, I'm not. I'm not going to look at that. I'm not going to own that I'm not you know, then what happens is Venus, Pluto comes along and tends to bring it out where it can be seen first to us, but sometimes depending on the level of resistance, it seems to spill out and be seen by other people. And there's this one way in which the Venus Pluto is like, associated with like scandal scandalous things. And that's something that you know I I always tell people when it comes to Venus Pluto as Venus Pluto is approaching, like Pluto is about to conjoin Venus in your natal chart or oppose it or square it or something like that. If things start coming up and they're showing themselves to you this is what's unhealthy or compulsive or a little addictive about something you desire or how you go about getting things that you want or need. And there's just something a little unhealthy about it, and you see that, take notes right away, make the change right away, because Pluto seems to really deeply reward our ability to just own things that come up from the unconscious. And if we see it and acknowledge it, and like I thank you Pluto, then this powerful wave of renewing, renewable energy starts coming into our lives. The transformative effect is profound and healing and it feels like you're being cleansed of something that you've been holding on to for too long, or the feeling of transformation, renewal regeneration, where does that Plutonian stuff come from? It doesn't come from Pluto itself, in my opinion, as much as it does the relationship we established with Pluto and such moments like, are you getting the message? If so, hang up the phone, receive it and say thank you for it. Even if it's a hard lesson, sometimes that's the best thing. It's like, wow, that was hard. Okay. But now I see. And I can make a shift. I have seen more people come to grips with unhealthy addictions or unhealthy patterns in relationships, or whatever with Venus Pluto over the years, then, you know, I can't even count. And by coming to grips with it, there's this sense of regeneration where something felt dead where something felt unhealthy or something was becoming toxic. You see that potential for regeneration.

There's a fairy tale that I've also heard mentioned by Liz Greene and a number of astrologers over the years associated with Venus, Pluto. And that's Beauty and the Beast. I don't know if you guys remember that one. But the Disney one comes to my mind. My kids have seen that a bunch. So here you have the vanity of a young prince who turns away a stranger who's visiting in the night and thinking it's just like some old woman some witch and he turns her away in his vanity and turns out that she is this this beautiful sort of Enchantress in disguise. And for his vanity, you know, turns him into a beast to show who he really is. And then of course, the way that he's transformed is through his heart having to come out and the inner beauty needing to come out despite the outward appearance of the Beast through falling in love. And that whole dynamic is very Venus Pluto in terms of something, something beautiful, that's actually beastly and we need to see it and deal with the curse a bit or something that's we thought was beastly that becomes beautiful. And that that process is now in front of us between now and the end of the year. So it's quite it is like that's a very powerful planetary signature to be facing as Venus turns retrograde because we're to talk more about Venus retrograde later. But Venus retrograde itself tends to signify the need for changes in our relationships. Venus retrograde has Venus dives into the underworld is Plutonian on its own. So now you're pairing it with Pluto to amplify that theme of Venus diving into the underworld. And that transformation that it implies.

Now I asked the I ching this morning, what do you think about this transit? What is there generally and it came back 21 and changing. So hexagram 21 is a hexagram that looks like an open mouth and it's sometimes called biting or biting through. And usually it's the translation goes something like this, there is an obstacle to unity like something caught between the teeth and there it needs to be eliminated removed with effort or force in order for unity to be restored. Another way of putting it would be that there is not just an obstacle to unity that needs to be restored through effort like you have to chew or bite through something to to eliminate an obstacle, but an obstacle to Unity. But sometimes it will be discussed as like a like a legal matter. I think one of the translations describes like in the court of a king, there's, you know, the needs to be the application of laws and rules to deal with people who break the law. And so the the application of law and rules to eliminate obstructions of justice, that's interesting way of looking at it. But regardless, you can see that Venus conjoining Pluto, you know, as Venus is retrograde could very well like the hexagram says, be talking about the need to remove some kind of obstacle to union or to harmony, and to have to do so, like forcefully or to put in some effort to have to eliminate something that's blocking a happy or healthy relationship or something that's, that's prohibiting unity. And I thought that was just so concise, and in such a beautiful image. And we're going to be talking about that a lot. Because Pluto or Venus is in Saturn sign, you know, surprise, surprise, more Saturn energy, then Venus, going through the conjunction with Pluto, you could think for example, about a restriction in the bowels like when, you know, child has like, impacted faecal tract. I know, it's kind of gross. But like, you think about that Venus, Pluto dynamic. And you also think about obstacles to things flowing along and things that need to be eliminated that have to sort of, you know, be better digested in and lead out, you know, so stuff like that also comes to mind, the image of the mouth, biting through something, eliminating something, some idea of digesting something that's stuck. So those are really interesting. Images.

At any rate. I hope that this gives us some things to start thinking about. I know it's a little ominous, I do think go back to the idea of exploring desires, and looking at how we go about getting things that we want, and making some healthy changes, saying thank you, Pluto, got the message, we don't need to go, you know, make this Friday the 13th. Like, we don't need to go, this doesn't need to be like a crate, you know, I don't need to walk down into a horror set for my life in the next few weeks, because I'm getting the message and I'm taking notes and I'm being humbled before a very powerful planetary transit. So hopefully that's how it goes for most of us, but we do have to put in that effort. At any rate. Thank you guys for listening today. I really hope that this again is serving everyone giving you guys some useful things to think about. We're gonna be covering this from a number of different angles.
