Transit Watch: Venus Square Pluto – April 27, 2010 – Step Away From The Corpse Redux
My eye on the sky
There have throngs of people showing up on the boards who have not posted in weeks or months or even years over the last few days and it occurred to me that Venus must be aspecting Pluto. How this escaped me previously, I’ll never know. It’s something I watch but I guess I got distracted with all the Aries and the size of my hair these days, I apologize.
When Venus aspects Pluto, old lovers come back from the dead, or climb from their trash cans as I like to say. I do not mean to apply a negative connotation to the people coming back on the boards as rising from the ashes is another manifestation of this combination that is wholly positive. Aries is involved here and basically people come roaring back to life.
This is great but in some cases, the corpse is going to have to be pushed back down and to help with that – here’s the old video:
If you want some criteria to help determine which corpse you should welcome and which you should turn away, here’s a simple test:
If it was good before, it can probably be good again. If if was bad before, it is not likely to be any better after months or years spent rotting. For more on this topic, search “corpse” on the blog.

“interesting” to note that this is the precursor to the venus saturn opposition. I imagine for many they will be connected.
I like the idea of of this transit also being about rising from the ashes, especially since I had two “Phoenix” moments today, just a few moments apart. Someone showed me a picture of their grandchild, named Phoenix and yes, it was in reference to “rising above the ashes” and I asked an acquaintance about his tattoo since it was partially obscured by his T-shirt and it was a phoenix rising above the ashes. Then I come home and read your reference to the same. Love it. 
My job! woot!
Hopefully next week I will start working some. Even if it isn’t full time yet, it helps me in the long run with my unemployment.
Looks like I need to get in some target practice this weekend in preparation for the walking dead and their preachings next week.
What’s coming back is living life with an ill/injured partner, as well the psycho ex-roommates I moved away from 10 years ago. AKA the roommate situation from hell.
The latter can be dealt with fairly easily, the former I’m going to have to adjust but think we’ll be fine, in the long run. I’m hoping this will be a temporary for Leoman–he’s committing to his health but it requires some adjustments equally as difficult as quitting cigarettes (Aries stellium is in his 6th).
My therapist is retiring from full-time work, but will be working at my university on a part-time basis, and I’ve secured therapy until the end of July, which makes me happy as I learn a lot every week and it helps tremendously for dealing with pressure. He’s taking August off (fine by me) and hopefully we’ll pick up again in September. This is my good news of the week:)
I’ll say one thing for my ex. Dude is a corpse, knows he’s a corpse, and I’m pretty sure he feels the same way about me. Our relationship was very Plutonian (not in the obsessive, jealous sense) in that we began when Pluto went into Sag and as soon as it hit Cap, we ended it. Our relationship fit like legos with Pluto in Sag’s transit. I don’t worry that he’ll try to come back from the dead with Venus/Pluto. There are some other things trying to come back from the dead, but I’m not having it. It’s more like an annoying little gnat than something major trying to make a comeback.
Thanks!
oh geez, i think that i am the corpse
just broke up with the boyfriend yesterday and promptly messaged a guy that i have had age-old interest in… even though it is a totally unrealistic situation.
the current transits finally brought our relationship to an impasse: we either choose “us” or we choose “ourselves” as individuals. it’s been a decision there in the background the whole time but it finally came to a head.
in this case, we each chose our future careers over the energy and time required to sustain our relationship.
sad, but it’s not like it ended with one of us cheating on the other.
Congrats, Tam!! I bet that makes your Virgo happy:)
we both have north node aries
mine is in the 6th house…
old friends. one of which is about to leave the country for graduate work. i’ll miss him.
and old… friends.. who seem to have grown up a bit. cautiously optimistic about those?
what do we say about friendships here the biggest problem was immaturity and really low self esteem on their part (mine too) and they seem to have grown out of it?
here== where
Yea thanks h.! I’ve been praying for your Leo…
Thanks. He will appreciate it, as much as I do.
Well I think it will be about how I relate to everyone in my life.. especially when taking the lead with going for the man I’d like to see again. Pluto is in my 3rd, venus will be in my 6th/7th and saturn is in my 12th/1st. I have to watch my mouth. Already I’ve brought up the fears and have had them focused on. While they can’t be swept under the rug, I also can’t let them rule my life the way they have in previous relationships. I’m becoming conscious of the need to shift my relationships to be a full adult in decision making.. now that I live in a place I feel fully supports me. Either I’ll be repeating old dynamics or finally stepping forward for what I want and living with the consequences.
Hi, This really hasn’t happened for me, unless you can say the transit took hold 3 weeks ago. I do have Venus opp Pluto sq Mars and Saturn GC/fixed natal chart. What I am feeling these last few days is loneliness and a drudging up of all the lonely times I have ever felt in my life. I just keep telling myself, Merc is retro and this will all pass. Of course, it is so much easier to be the advice giver then the taker.
my sex life! woot!
Ugh… this explains the resurgence of pining. I haven’t got the balls to rise from the ashes. I’ll just look at divorce transits for the two. Haha!!!!! Just kidding……………no i’m not. I wouldn’t want to see him anyway. Fucker got engaged within months!! I sway between being enraged by the thought of him, to complete forgiveness.
Uranus in aries and neptune in pisces has me feeling bipolar. ICK!!
The corpses for me lately are from waaaay back. Like from infancy. It’s just a review, no clinging… stepping away now.
I just realized that between the 27th and 30th I’ll be taking in my parent’s cat while they go on vacation. So really it’s probably just the reality that I have to be home more and how that will affect spontaneous dating. 
But it should work out just fine. Get a cat sitter if need be. Sometimes I think these things big but so often they are just mundane. 
It was merc retro in aries that has been like you describe Carrie.. and it’s been huge about my mars and relationships. Very cleansing.
“What is coming back from the dead or dormant in your life?”
What is dormant in my life is something I thought was back from the dead. It’s time for him to meet reality. It will mean I am dead to him again, but I can’t live my life with the negative energy, having to filter every word through the bullshit meter, and paying his way through life. It will hurt me terribly, and simply enrage him. But it’s past time for the bird to fly.
Cosmic perspective: Phoenix planetary energy exactly as the whole planet is covered in radiation from the Tokyo nuclear disaster, and the reality is that the whole planet is on course for becoming ashes and we are ALL going to have to become a phoenix in our personal lives to rise from it.
Venus was, actually, the goddess of the cosmos. “Kosmos” means “beauty” in Greek, and goddess of beauty actually refers to the aesthetic whole of the cosmos.
From the cosmic perspective, the “corpse” that is making a comeback is nuclear fallout that dominated our collective consciousness in the first nuclear era (all those bomb shelters).
Venus engages to help us hold the integrity of the cosmos together so that the planet can continue to generate life.
There are a LOT of people who are at the margins and in the shadows who have been developing all sorts of ways to do basic life stuff differently. Like there is this scientist in Norway (I think it is) who experiments with how to grow food underground without sunlight using special low energy lights.
The best version of the Pluto-Venus aspects from a cosmic, transpersonal perspective is that these new ways of living on a radically transformed planet will come out of the shadows. They are the Phoenixes we have been waiting for.
wow, several old friends have contacted me in the last few days.
I’ve got this one bad. A person with demons, I’m not kidding, actual bad spirits or entities, is sleeping in my garage like a vampire as I write this.
This isn’t funny.
