Trust, relationships and pleasure: How Venus retrograde and Pluto are guiding your transformation

We're heading into a deeply transformative week as Venus continues their retrograde journey, forming a compelling sextile to Pluto on Friday, March 21. This marks the second of three powerful Venus-Pluto aspects (the first was February 7 and the next is on May 6). This energy invites you into an exploration, an intimate reflection on trust, loyalty, and the authenticity of your relationships.

Consider this moment an opportunity to probe beneath the surface. 

Ask yourself: 

✨ What does genuine trust look like for you? 

✨ Who is beside you in meaningful alignment, and who no longer matches your path forward? 

Remember, clarity unfolds gradually. Be patient. The insights you're gaining now will make more sense and reach a completion point around May 7 during the next Venus-Pluto sextile. 

Venus-Pluto aspects often bring honesty, revealing where we’ve been withholding truth from others or even ourselves. This is a time to be radically honest with yourself. What unconscious fears or insecurities might be obstructing your path to fulfilling relationships with others or yourself? Allow the answers to surface. Healing can begin when you acknowledge and name what you’re feeling and thinking. 

When the Sun conjoins Venus retrograde on Saturday, March 22 (making a cazimi!), it marks the midpoint of this Venusian journey. You may find yourself in the heart of transformative realizations. The middle of the retrograde is rich with insight like you’re in the eye of a storm. Everything becomes calm but profoundly potent. This cazimi moment ushers in purification, renewal and realizations. Let yourself shed what's heavy, opening space for more self-love, healthier relationships, and a deeper understanding of what brings you pleasure and enjoyment.

During this time, pay close attention to intuitive nudges around partnerships and pleasure. 

✨ What lights you up? 

✨ What feels aligned and nourishing? 

Trusting yourself deeply here is really important. Your instincts are guiding you towards meaningful improvements in your relationships and the enjoyment you experience in life.

Then finally, the Sun makes an empowering sextile to Pluto on Sunday, March 23, energizing your ability to act confidently and decisively. This aspect encourages you to step into your power. This is a time to initiate projects or partnerships that reflect your sense of self-worth and determination. Collaborations formed at this time could be especially impactful, with the potential for being strong, influential, or abundant.

Harness this dynamic energy by boldly taking charge. You're ready, you have clarity, and you can now take meaningful action. 

There is even promise for more clear understanding and realizations on the horizon! Greater clarity awaits as Mercury prepares for their own powerful cazimi early next week. Stay tuned for further insights, but for now, embrace this transformative Venus, Pluto and Sun journey with openness and courage.
