Venus meets Pluto today for a yearly opposition. 💥 This aspect has been occurring in the Cancer/Capricorn axis since Pluto entered the latter back in 2009. Cancer/Capricorn axis is also known as the “Karmic axis”, being ruled by Saturn and the Moon. This being said, since Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn and it cyclically opposes transit planets in Cancer, we’ve collectively been going through an intense and prolonged healing cycle which pushes all wounds around oppression, emotional control, manipulation and codependency to the surface for release. As Cancer represents the Feminine archetype of “The Mother”, Venus represents the Feminine archetype of “The Lover” and through these yearly oppositions Pluto has been pushing us to become conscious and release old templates that have been keeping our Feminine energies within in perpetual suffering. This cycle aims to bring intense healing to Karmic, ancestral, family and childhood wounds on a collective level and it hasn’t been easy. These energies become especially potent whenever there’s an exact opposition occurring and we’ve had quite a few in the last few years as Saturn was in Capricorn too. Many of us might have went through one or several Karmic cycles in relationships only to break through them and move to the next level. Our romantic and family relationships have been the tools through which we were continuously guided to learn being present and conscious. Many of us have had important Karmic contracts in place with Souls who were meant to cross our paths between 2009 and 2023 so that lessons could be learned and old ways of being could be transcended for good. Some of these old templates include people pleasing, lack of self-care & self-nurturing, fear of being alone, compromising our worth & values, manipulating and being manipulated, being overprotective and over-caring with an agenda or as a self-abandonment mechanism etc.
These are all Shadow Feminine traits and The Lord Of the Underworld, Pluto, takes Venus on a journey to it’s depths each year so that the two can help us explore our most innate Shadow aspects. We’re at the tail end of this process now as we are to experience the last opposition between Venus in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn in 2022. After this, the collective themes would dramatically shift as Pluto will enter Aquarius- there awaits a whole another stage of the journey.
Before we get to this point however we still have work to do on ourselves and residual Karmic energies are to be cleared. Be aware of your emotions, pay attention to your reactions and automatic responses. Although these energies can be quite passionate and intense, what they trigger within us might not always be healthy and in our highest good.
Be careful of obsession in relationships, jealousy, insecurity and codependent patterns. This year the opposition happens righr before the Capricorn Full Moon so it’s a great time to take responsibility, be self-aware, make firm and conscious choices and release heavy burdens, including Karmic ones. It might feel intense right now but we’ve made through a massive purge and we’re ready to come out on the other side.
This opposition also closes a healing cycle we’ve been in since early May. Mars and Venus in Cancer all met Chiron for a painful square followed by a tumultuous opposition with Pluto.
