VENUS OPPOSING PLUTO

This aspect depicts conflict which, when resolved, results in growth. Oppositions show a tug of war between opposing forces. If they are resolved, then the oppositions become the backbone and strength of the chart.

In 2026, this aspect will be present in the 'orb of influence' from June 9, 2026 until June 27, 2026. So if your birthday falls between these dates or one Wednesday, June 17, 2026 when this aspect is 'exact', then you will have this aspect in your 2026 Solar Return.

It is important to understand that the Venus rules Love, beauty and relationships. It rules personal finances and earned income as well. Venus is aesthetic and artistic. There is an attachment or response to beauty. Pluto rules transformation through destruction, only to end up in reconstruction. Pluto is powerful and behaves like plutonium, where it completely destroys only to rebuild anew. Pluto levels one thing to cause something else to rise up out of the ashes, just like the phoenix-rising arises from the ashes. Pluto destructs in order to reconstruct and there is where the transformation takes place.

This aspect shows domination, power and drama in personal relationships and matters of personal money. Pluto is insecure, jealous and obsessed, so this aspect is obsessed with the idea of Love and the desire to have it. The same holds true for the desire to have money. Venus opposing Pluto expect loved ones to share love with the same level of intensity. As a result, relationships are infested with a struggle for power and control, probably even violence. Energy needs to be directed into a creative pursuit that is timing consuming and demanding to keep the individual's emotions from wandering and ballooning into something that does not exist.

Let's do a quick refresher. Venus entered Leo (romance) on Saturday, June 13, 2026, then on Monday, June 15, 2026 Venus sextiled Uranus, on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 Venus trined Neptune and Wednesday, June 17, 2026 Venus opposes Pluto. Talk about feelings of self-worth and net-worth being all over the place!

Wholly Wow, this is a hefty load of Venus in a fire sign. Have you ever accidentally picked up a hot handle on a skillet. Well, it's like that! Treat this energy (Venus opposing Pluto) with kid gloves.

Now today, Venus (in Leo) is opposing Aquarius (Pluto, fatal attraction). So here we go with all of this Venus in Leo energy bouncing off energies like a pinball machine. Stay focused on the pinball and do not get distracted by all of the bells and whistles. If you get distracted, that is how fatal attractions occur. The fatality may not necessarily be the attraction itself (another person), as much as it is what the distraction makes you forget about (family, job). Think of the Coldplay concert jumbotron. That is a perfect example of 'fatal attraction' betting the ranch and losing it.

Venus rules the 2nd house of morals, values, self-worth, earned income, your salary, personal possessions and personal finances, as well as the 7th house of committed relationships, marriages and business partnerships, contractual unions with others. So you see, money and Love are heavily sprinkled all over this energy carrying into the middle of next week.

Make certain you re-read Venus trine Neptune has only moved one (1) degree since yesterday, meaning this energy is still strongly felt the next day, even though Venus opposing Pluto in its exactness, it is going to get couples who have lost that Lovin' feeling fighting with each other, even those couples can get their relationship mojo back if they wanted to.

Venus opposing Pluto aspect is a 'devil made me do it' type of thing. I strongly suggest you choose the side that revere's God and promotes God. There is no other way to say it. I'm NOT talking religion here. I'm talking GOD! Remember, we are still very much in a 'spiritual war'. Surely you have heard this said by EVERYONE at this point, and surely you believe it by now.

Needless to say, those who are behaving, acting, being, doing and living in sneaky, manipulative and secretive lifestyles that would hurt or harm their partner if they knew, are likely going to get caught and all hell break loose.

Remember Glenn Close (Alex) in the movie, 'Fatal Attraction'? It's like that. While her character was extreme, it was Michael Douglas's (Dan) character who brought that mess upon his own family. HE bought the temptation, allure, sex, intrigue and flattery. He brought danger upon his wife and daughter.

Folks, you have to understand something very serious here, the negative force is real. Call it whatever the heck you want, but that negative energy is real, and if you are weak, easily tempted, turned on and flattered, then that dark energy will find you and put someone on your path so that you bite. That energy will keep pulling, enticing, glamorizing and seducing until you are on the hook and caught!

Look at these two (2) aspects and CHOOSE! You cannot have both. If you are living in Venus opposing Pluto-land and acting like you are living in Venus trine Neptune-land, then you are kidding yourself. Venus opposing Pluto does not feel Good, misery is attached to it, in some shape or form, the minute you take a bite. Keep reading . . .

While this 'Fatal Attraction' aspect of Venus opposing Pluto is present, if you have to ask yourself if you are the 'Fatal Attraction' (the trouble) then you may want to adjust your mirror and get a long hard look. People know if they are the 'bad influencer' or not. People know if they are doing wrong, bad, negative or corrupted behavior. If you have to ask, then adjust your dials, mirror, and attitude. By 'Fatal Attraction' this means the one who is attempting or tempting others to fall into self-destruction.

I feel the need to fire some BIG, BRIGHT AND BOLD warning shots here because this is not child's play and someone will get burned if you are not wide-awake and on your toes.

This energy of Venus opposing Pluto is singe-worthy and cringe-worthy. It's not going to be pretty no matter how many designer labels you put on this aspect. This aspect has a level of cruelty and savagery that is incomprehensible.

Venus opposing Pluto is a temptor or temptress. Those in high places will be tempted because they cannot get enough of the attention, glamour, fabulousness, vanity, wealth, attention, free passes, elbow-rubbing and hoighty-toity living. This will be 'part of' their downfall, as this type of energy cannot stop bragging, flaunting and showing their obscene self-admiration.

As Jesus would say, "They have their reward." Meaning, God does not have to reward the braggadocious people because they have received their reward from others, which is attention and admiration.

Venus opposing Pluto is a temptress! Have you not seen FATAL ATTRACTION in yourself or someone you know? It is crazy Love, jealousy, cruelty, heartless and risky business. And this is not only crazy woman Love, it is crazy man Love as well. And even if you are not in some twisted coupling that you call "Love" or "relationship", this aspect will tempt you to be and do everything you are not, if you do not keep a sober, right, mature and responsible mind. Venus opposing Pluto could easily rob you of your mature and responsible Saturn energy. Use your Saturn to keep you out of trouble.

Venus opposing Pluto is all about domination, power and drama. The powers-that-be are pulling your strings and making your dance. You are being tempted to look, peek, participate and 'use'.

Pluto is insecure, jealous and obsessed, so this aspect is obsessed with the idea of Love and the desire to have it, as well as have that Love and desire directed at the self. "I'm not going to be ignored, Dan!" as Alex said to Dan in the movie 'Fatal Attraction.' Keep reading . . .

March 23, 2023 until June 11, 2024 Jan. 20, 2024 until Sept. 1, 2024 Nov. 19, 2024 until Jan. 18, 2044

March 23, 2023 until June 11, 2024 Jan. 20, 2024 until Sept. 1, 2024 Nov. 19, 2024 until Jan. 18, 2044

The same holds true for the desire to have money. Venus opposing Pluto expects Loved ones to share Love with the same level of intensity. As a result, relationships are infested with a struggle for power and control, probably even violence, as one attempts to topple the other and gain dominance and control.

Energy needs to be directed into a creative pursuit that is timing consuming and demanding to keep the individual's emotions from wandering and ballooning into something that does not exist.

The likelihood of becoming involved in intensely emotional and sexual relationships is very high. The same will hold true for an individual on a quest for more money, especially if that individual needs money to pay bills. Oh what a desperate insecure person will do for Love or money. Is there no dignity? Is there no level to which one will go when in such desperate need of Love, attention, or money? If you are caught up in this web, then you must ask yourself, "Have you no dignity?"

This energy might be claimed as "passionate" by the one in it, but it really should be called, "jealous, possessive, insecure, demanding and cruel." This aspect attracts the wrong type of people to couple-up with, either in a relationship, or to get involved with in matters of money. DO NOT go on a new date during this aspect.

Relationships that are secure and in the Venus trine Neptune aspect will sail right through this aspect, but others may not. This would be like going to a wedding (Venus trine Neptune) and the couple that is always fighting ends up drunk and making a scene, or sneaks off in the bathroom with someone else.

Couples who are 'on the fence' or who are 'The Bickerson's' can easily bring on more marital problems because of dictatorial attitudes and behaviors. Pluto is the planet of transformation through destruction, then reconstruction; therefore, there are attempts to remake or transform the partner rather than compromise.

In business relationships there are extreme challenges with competition, rivalry and jealousy. As with any other challenging aspect, this is powerful energy that should be channeled in a productive way so the energy can be put to Good use. You have choices, so choose which aspect will you embrace and live. It's as simple as that.
