Venus and its importance in the affective problems inherited from past lives – third part

In facing the Venus - Pluto dynamics in the natal chart, we certainly go through a mine field characterised by secrecy, by the need to keep something hidden but that at the same time is mysteriously enthralling, which means it is very difficult to remain objective in our description.

A person who has a Venus - Pluto aspect in their own natal chart, always has a charm that cannot be defined in words, since it is done by gestures, looks, tone of voice, observation ability and manipulation, that that makes it impossible to know it in depth, but above all to describe it as it really is.
The Venus - Pluto aspects are the meeting of the sky with the depths, of the light with the dark and clearly everything that cannot be particularly seductive and able to create around an air of mystery and a wish to allow ourselves to accept the flow of destiny.
In fact, those who have this aspect in their natal chart are certainly able to create great destiny events relative to affectivity, as much for himself/herself as for the person who becomes part of his/her life. It is should not be forgotten that here is no aspect that is more manipulative than the Venus - Pluto relationship in a horoscope and with a high probability that it also regards the planetary position in which emotions are experienced gut level, without rational filters and especially devoid of any cerebral superstructure.

At a reincarnation level the aspects between Venus and Pluto in the natal chart represent problems relative to past lives in which the person has did not know how to, or could not, take a decision from an independent, free point of view in affective terms and more probably must accept conditionings and pressures that are rather strong, coming from the outside, which have prevented her/him from being able to completely show their own emotional vitality. if there is a Venus retrograde this is all the more reason for such an aspect to become even stronger and pressing, which has made this deprivation so strong, to have inherited it completely in our present existence, perhaps such as an attitude of initial distrust and refusal towards affection and developing as a result, as a natural reactive psychological response, a need for control and manipulation of our loved one, ending up once again not experiencing affection in a free and serene way.

Clearly such an attitude will be more rigid and hard to remove in the presence of dissonant aspects, and it is probable that an affective relationship will be experienced with uneasiness, at times with true obsessions, , especially in the first moments, when the partner is still a perfect stranger, an intruder who has suddenly appeared to change the fragile emotional balances that have been developed over time. While there is a greater ability to let oneself go, to put aside the past conditionings, in the presence of harmonic aspects, even if they can probably be shown in different ways, such as, for example, mediating on an excessive ability of being present in the life of our partner, creating a real cloak of protection (or of obsession) around him/her, or making him/her think that they are no longer capable of doing things by themselves. In other words creating a wonderful but suffocating gilt prison.
In fact everything happens because of an extreme sensitiveness and inner fragility due to a sense of abandonment, of scarce freedom of choice experienced in our past existence, which even now strongly conditions us. It will probably regard things that have already been experienced, especially in the presence of the squaring between two planets, in which they have been used, or have become aware that they had been deceived at an affective level by their partner, who ignored your sensitiveness to achieve a goal, and this has involved a process of losing your esteem, a destructive process that naturally is not easy to uproot, also because it must not be forgotten that Pluto is the planet that symbolises our personal unconscious, that part of our psyche which is more sedimentary and is used to structure our emotions, be they ugly or beautiful, which we are not aware of, but that can behave in a subtle way without us knowing it, through attitudes and ways of reacting that can seem completely natural.

In order to avoid of the karmic Venus - Pluto dynamics it is possible to rely on the transits of Chiron and of Saturn, above all, if not exclusively, in their conjunction aspect with one of the planets. in particular, Chiron transits can bring out, at times in a quite strong and determinate way, the problems relative to preceding lives through dreams, spontaneous memories, interpretations, knowledge of persons or of a partner able to make us face certain self-destructive attitudes in this life, things inherited in the past, that are conducted at an affective level and in particular in relationships. The wounds start bleeding and can hardly be hidden, and except for the initial moment of worsening and eradication and the natural fear to lose control, a strong sense of liberation, of autonomy, is attained, that perhaps had never been tried previously, so much so as to give a new emotional adolescence.
While the Saturn transits can lead to forced emotional isolation, it is a real initiatory moment in which to "painfully" take conscience of our past and unconscious mechanisms of emotional exchange, which in some cases can also generate, especially in the initial phase, suicidal ideas or, in any case, quite destructive ideas, almost to sharpen that destructiveness that nevertheless is finally shown in full and that needs to be listened to and put right.

Generally these transits can also coincide with the beginning of personal work carried out on ourselves, even if it regards psychoanalysis, or by means of other therapies, like for example that karmic therapy, that in any case, work on the most profound layers of our psyche.
