From a consultation. She’s got a Sun Pluto conjunction in Libra AND Venus in Scorpio. She wonders if there is a way to resolve…

I write:

“Yes! I am attracted to taboo and also want the security and status and loyalty a marriage provides. True intimacy is always scary and treacherous so I can be committed still have my edge.

The biggest impediment to finding resolution to this type challenge is realizing what is in you. You have to uncover your true desires, bring them to your consciousness and integrate this stuff into your life.

Painful, maybe. But very, very fruitful and productive.”

Who can relate? Tell us of your success or failure.

With Venus in Scorpio and the Sun and Mars conjunct Pluto, many are deeply stirred and in most cases, disturbed.  It’s like wading into a pond; all the silt that has settled on the bottom is kicked up and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it.

The silt in this case is made up of broken or failed relationships, or other loss of love, perhaps through death.

The Moon in Virgo analyzes as Mercury retrograde square Jupiter indicates a rehashing of the story.

While not automatic, it is possible to get a deeper understanding of your situation which can result in a higher level of acceptance that moves you closer to healing.

With Venus in Scorpio (taboo) and Mars in Capricorn (limits) I wonder what people consider to be “taboo” in 2011.  For example, if you break up with a man (or a woman), is that man fair game for your friends?  Do you look for your next lover among his friends or is that off limits.?

You get the idea? What is taboo in your world, circa 2011?

Venus is solidly in Scorpio now and Mars is soon to follow. The planets will be conjoined for weeks and it’s going to be non-stop action on the corpse front.

If you’re new here, I refer to ex-lovers who come back from the dead as corpses. This is a Venus/Pluto phenomena which is what Venus in Scorpio represent.

Mars joining Venus will add intensity and vigor to the whole situation so expect action on this front to be robust and most likely, disturbing. You could have sworn you put that person in the garbage can but good and then here they pop up, if not in real life, then in your psyche and what can you say, but there they are.

As to how to handle this, in many cases, this is appropriate advice: Step away from the corpse.
