The new era of radical change is finally upon us. The first date when the Uranus/Pluto square will be exact is coming up (June 24th). You ready?
Pluto will be making an inconjunct to Venus retrograde in Gemini, but Venus will be supported by a sextile to Uranus. Decisions (Gemini) about relationships, money and self-esteem will have to accommodate (inconjunct) forces beyond your control. But you’ll be fine if you act quickly and approach things from a different angle (Uranus in Aries).
If you try to force your romantic agenda, you’ll lose. If you try to make a relationship conform to what you’ve grown used to, you’ll lose. If you indulge in the same old self-defeating behavior, you’ll hit a wall. You simply have to change. So pick the unexpected option. If you’re not sure what that might be, imagine yourself discussing your scenario with a friend/family member who’s known you forever. What could you do that would totally surprise them?
If you have planets/angles between 7-8 degrees Capricorn or Aries and/or between 6-7 degrees Gemini you’ll feel this one intensely.
Pluto is currently quincunx my Sun at 8 Leo, which has been super stressful, and I guess this will make it a transiting Yod with Venus. Great advice in this post, which I will try to remember in the thick of it. With natal Chiron at 7 Aries, I guess I will be feeling this. At least there are some trines and sextiles involved!
Plus my IC is at 7 Gemini… No rest for the weary!
You could see some excavation of past/childhood issues with this one. But once they come out into the light, you’ll be finished with them. Very freeing as you release the past.
My Venus in Capricirn is at 7 degrees in the 9th House. Venus is currently transiting my 2nd House and Uranus squares it. What can strengthen me now? I have had a recent romantic disappointment which I have surrendered and feel remarkably fine about. My new business deals with selling products to enhance female intimacy. Could my Venus changes center more around my love values than an actual romantic relationship (though I would welcome a warm surprise there, too)? Thanks!
The 2nd House is about self-love/self-esteem. So your personal values will definitely change. What can strengthen you is releasing external dependencies; a strong 2nd House is the bedrock on which healthy romantic relationships are built.
Pluto conjunct my natal Saturn in third, opposite natal Mars in 9th . Also, Squaring natal Mercury in 6th/7th house cusp which is conjunct transiting Uranus.
Any ideas? That Pluto is also just past a grand trine to my sun in taurus in the 7th and Pluto in the 11th.
Hi Elizabeth…see my reply to your first comment.
Here is another: Venus in the 11th at 15 degrees Capricorn, Aries on the 2d house cusp, Sun 28 Scorpio, Moon 16 Scorpio, Mars 7 Scorpio, Neptune 3 Scorpio, Jupiter 21 Libra. Pluto at 2 Leo in 7th, Uranus 11 Leo, 7th house cusp.
Day 1? How many are we expecting?!
My Venus in Cap is at 7 degrees. Its natally in the 9th currently squaring Uranus already! Transiting Venus is in my 2nd house ruled by Gemini. How can I be empowered through these transits?
See my reply to your first comment…
Check my initial post on the Uranus/Pluto square (there’s a link to it in this post). I list all the dates over the next few years…
Oh god yeah. There’s this Aquarius guy that I’ve been “seeing” for the past couple of weeks, but we’re not in an actual relationship yet. We’re in that air of ambiguity that lingers between intense friendship and a solid relationship. He wants to take things slow, so I’m going along with it. Its just hard not to give into my Cancernarian needs for stability and force him into it.
But I know that I have to relax and go easy with this one.
Yep. That’s tough for Cancer since it’s a cardinal sign but it’s one of those tests all Cancers face eventually. It’s great that you’re aware of what you have to do.
Venus in 2nd house at 10 Capricorn, Chiron in 5th house at 9 Aries, how/where will this hit hard over next couple years? Will it hit hard? Kinda hoping it’ll force some change, but…umm…yikes! Also…Sagitarius Sun, Jupiter being opposed by retrograde Venus in the last few weeks…
You’ll experience some challenges between the security/self-esteem base you’ve built up (Venus in 2nd House Cap) and doubts about your purpose and ability to succeed (Chiron in 5th House). You’ll be prompted to change how you go about gaining recognition for yourself…can you shine/be special and be secure at the same time? Right now you might play it safe at the expense of owning your true potential.
Oh wow…ok…thanks for that!
Venus and sun are both in Gemini for me, 21 & 23 °
How would this whole Venus in Gem thing affect me?
i’ve crossed off relationships for the time being.
too much to do to get myself in my right place.
Currently riding the last fierce wave of Saturn in my rising sign
relationships seem kind of small potatoes to me, compared to the general overhaul of things.. Things feel so different this last week.. Might be feeling that Jupiter arrival!
If your Venus and Sun are both being hit then your ego/life’s purpose (Sun) and self-esteem (Venus) will be impacted. More info depends on the house your Sun/Venus is in.
Pluto is conjuncting my natal Jupiter and progressed sun, all at 8 degrees Capricorn in the 2nd – and Uranus is JUST beginning to enter my 5th, edging towards my natal Chiron at 13 degrees retrograde Aries. Meanwhile, Jupiter and Venus are transiting my 7th, where my natal Saturn is 18 degrees retrograde, trine with Uranus and Venus in my 11th house at 21 and 25 degrees Libra…where Saturn is currently transiting in retrograde! I feel that a major transition or fateful moment is coming given all of these aspects happening simultaneously. Any insights you have are much appreciated.
Pluto in your 2nd/Uranus in your 5th points to an overhaul of your security needs/finances that will be triggered by sudden changes around a personal goal/creative project or possible new infatuation/romance. But it will be awhile before Uranus hits your Chiron so that won’t be factoring into this influence anytime soon. Progressed Sun conjunct natal Jupiter is quite positive…can point to financial gains and/or gains in personal power. Jupiter in the 7th can bring an expansive new relationship or at least a very positive outlook on romance.
Thank you, Nadia. I appreciate your reply. What do you make of the significance of Saturn in all this, with my natal Saturn retrograde in the 7th at 18 Gemini, being trined by transiting Saturn retrograde in my 11th house, conjuncting my natal Naptune and Libra?
You’re welcome. If you ‘d like me to look at your chart further, please order a consultation.
I know this is an old post by now, but very interesting. I have venus first house at 8 aris , mars 12th house at 10 pisces, saturn 11th house at10 capricorn, uranus 6th house at 10 leo.
My fiance who was also my best friend died suddenly in a crash in early june. I’ve been through the death of a close lover before, but have never been so confused in my life as now. My self esteem is fine- I just don’t really know where I am so to speak, and every aspect of my life is turned upside down in a very real way. Not just emotionally.
When this happened pluto was probably in my 10th house at 8 cap. Uranus in my 1st house at 8 aris.
oops, correction. my natal saturn is 18 cap. big difference….
I’m sorry to read about your fiance. Transiting Uranus (sudden) over Venus square Pluto (death) is devastating. Makes you wonder what the purpose behind these heavy-duty transits is.
