Venus Conjunct Pluto: Power, Love, and Transformation

Venus, the planet of love, harmony, and relationships, is aligning with Pluto, the master of transformation, power, and the underworld.

When these two meet, they don’t just skim the surface—they go straight to the core of emotional truths, unearthing hidden dynamics and asking us to face what lies beneath.

This conjunction is like a mirror reflecting your deepest desires and fears around connection, worthiness, and harmony. Pluto brings intensity and purging, so if you’re feeling emotional waves, know that this is a cleansing process.

You’re being asked to release outdated patterns based in survival and opposition.

It also means you may need to make an extra effort to be kind and gentle toward yourself.

Challenges

When Venus and Pluto oppose retrograde Mars in Gemini later in the week, it creates a powerful energetic push-pull.

Mars, representing the Masculine principle of action and drive, slows down in retrograde, forcing introspection.

This opposition creates tension between the desire for transformation and the inertia of old habits.

Mars Retrograde: Masculine Recalibration

With Mars retrograde, the usual forward momentum of the masculine energy is paused.

Mars governs not just action but also boundaries, assertiveness, and willpower.

In retrograde, these areas can feel blocked or misaligned, and you might notice frustration or feelings of stagnation.

The opposition to Venus and Pluto adds an extra layer of complexity. This alignment calls attention to imbalances between giving and receiving, the assertive and receptive energies within yourself.

Mars retrograde pushes for reassessment: Where have you been over-exerting or under-expressing your masculine energy? This isn’t just about external dynamics but also your inner balance of action versus alignment, effort versus flow.

–

Power In Focus

It also signals that any Masculine dominant or Male person in your life will be going through a deep recalibration and processing over coming months.

It can bring up triggers and old conflicts as they work through this (mostly without realizing what’s going on).

Power is a key issue as Pluto pushes for them to realize their true inner soul self can achieve and be much more than the Ego.

If outer challenges show up, or power appears to oppose you, remember it’s meant to guide you back to yourself.

Emotional Intensity Peaks

As the Moon joins Venus and Pluto on Thursday, emotions come into sharper focus. The Moon brings deep feelings to the surface, amplifying Pluto’s transformative influence.

With the opposition to Mars about to go retrograde, it can trigger anger and blowups, so make a note to focus on staying calm – especially on this day.

Even if you yourself feel fine, it will be affecting others too – from strangers in traffic to family members and love partners.

They may not realize why but they’re likely much more reactive than usual.
–

Ancestral Purging

This alignment particularly highlights ancestral and karmic themes.

Pluto’s influence often ties into generational wounds, and with the Moon’s involvement, there’s a sense of purging through the emotional and even physical body.

It’s all deeply unconscious material, so it could just be a general feeling of something uncomfortable or “tainted” in the background of your being.

You might experience fatigue, vivid dreams, or flashes of old memories. These are all showing up old material asking to leave.

Allow yourself the space to process and release – energy tools will help make this smoother and less heavy.

Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Reassessment of Truth

Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius adds another layer of reflection, particularly around belief systems and communication.

Sagittarius seeks expansion and freedom, but with Mercury retrograde, there’s a pause to review the foundations of your ideals.

Are they aligned with your current truth, or are they remnants of past conditioning?

Midweek, Mercury aligns with the Sun in what’s called a Mercury Cazimi.

This is a moment of clarity amidst the retrograde confusion, offering insights into what truly matters. And, opening to shifts in how you see yourself and show up in the world.

Pay attention to sudden realizations or intuitive nudges—they’re pointing you toward a more aligned path.

Neptune Direct: Intuition Awakens

On Sunday, Neptune stations direct, bringing a shift in spiritual clarity.

When Neptune was retrograde, illusions were stripped away, often leaving us feeling disoriented or confused.

Now, as it moves forward, your intuition and connection to your guides and your own higher facultires are likely to feel stronger and clearer.

Neptune’s sextile with Venus and Pluto signals the potential for spiritual growth through love and transformation – and that your higher self and guides are always looking out for you, working to help you.

You may notice an increase in synchronicities, dreams, or intuitive messages, guiding you toward your highest good.

Kundalini Activation and Ancestral Clearing

The energetic intensity of Venus conjunct Pluto opposing Mars retrograde can also activate **kundalini energy**.

Kundalini represents the coiled spiritual energy within, often tied to deep transformation and awakening.

You might feel this as heat in the body, shifts in your lower chakras, or even bursts of creativity and intuition.

At the same time, this energy is helping to purge ancestral and collective separation consciousness—the patterns and wounds passed down through the bloodlines and culture.

These often manifest as feelings of disconnection, fear, or resistance to love and unity.

Allow yourself to acknowledge and release these energies, knowing you’re healing not just for yourself but for those who came before you and those who come after.

What This All Means

This week’s energies are intense but also incredibly purposeful. The cosmic alignments are asking you to recalibrate, release, and rise into a higher state of alignment. Ultimately into more of your soul gifts and inner power.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Let go of control: Retrogrades slow things down for a reason. Instead of pushing, focus on aligning your energy from within.

Honor your emotions: With Pluto and Venus opposing Mars, deep and unconscious feelings are likely to surface. Approach them as gateways to healing, as the Universe works to guide you.

Balance your energies: Mars retrograde is a reminder to harmonize the assertive and receptive energies within yourself – and remember that any male persons in your life (or Masculine dominants) are going through an intense process of purging and recalibrating right now.

Lean into intuition: Neptune direct and Mercury Cazimi open pathways to higher wisdom. Listen to the subtle cues guiding you forward.

This is a week to go deep, reflect, and clear the way for greater transformation.

It can get intense but if you work with the cosmic flow and stay calm, it will help you move forward rapidly and release old holdbacks you may have been blocked by longer than you realize.

You’ve got this! (And if you could use some help, have a look at my in-depth program The Love Blueprint).
