💫 February 7th: A Conversation Begins
Venus and Pluto met in a sextile at 2° Aries and Aquarius, opening a dialogue. Venus, bold in Aries, may have stated her desires, preferences, and non-negotiables. Pluto, ever the master of transformation, listened. He took note of what needed to be purified, reworked, burned away. Perhaps, at the time, there was an undercurrent of knowing—something needed to shift, but the full shape of it had yet to be revealed.
🔥 March 21st: Revisiting Pluto’s Crucible
Now, Venus returns to Pluto—this time at 3° Aries & Aquarius, but she is retrograde. What has changed? What illusions have fallen away? What once felt certain but now feels uncertain?
Venus in Aries may want to choose, to act, to claim—but Pluto reminds her that deep transformation requires surrender. He is not an agent of control, but an alchemist, a guide to what must change for lasting evolution.
This is the day before Venus meets the Sun in her cazimi, her moment of purification and rebirth. Pluto is offering one last check-in before she steps into the fire.
🕊️ May 5th: The Final Sextile—Venus Direct
By early May, Venus will have reemerged, reborn, and will sextile Pluto one last time. What was once unclear will have settled into form. The changes, the transformations, the decisions made will be solidified. What will remain? What will have been left behind?
Venus’ Journey: A Timeline of Transformation
📍 February 4 → Venus enters Aries: The journey begins. She enters the fire temple of Mars, ready to blaze forward.
🔥 February 7 → Sextile Pluto (2°): The first conversation. What does she desire? What does Pluto demand for transformation?
🔄 March 1 → Venus stations retrograde: She stops, turns inward. A pause. A reconsideration.
🔥 March 21 → Sextile Pluto again (3°): The second conversation. Now, she knows what she must leave behind—but is she ready?
🌞 March 22 → Venus conjuncts the Sun (Cazimi at 7:07 PM MDT): The moment of rebirth. She is purified in the heart of the Sun.
🌊 March 27 → Venus re-enters Pisces (retrograde): A descent. A return to something deeper, softer, more fluid.
🔄 April 12 → Venus stations direct in Pisces: The turn forward. What has she reclaimed? What is different now?
🔥 April 30 → Venus re-enters Aries: She returns. Stronger. Wiser. Changed.
♇ May 5 → Sextile Pluto again (3°): The final conversation. The transformation is complete.
Pluto’s Crucible: What Are You Ready to Transform?
Pluto does not demand blind submission—but he does require authenticity. He is the master of deep change, and he likes co-creation. You are invited to bring your preferences to the fire, but know that Pluto will burn away what is false, weak, or no longer aligned with your highest path.
