I have a question about my Venus-Pluto Aspect.

I have a Leo Venus in the 8th House sextile my Libra Pluto in the 9th House. I know Pluto can turn people into victims and can become power hungry, but how does this effect when it aspects my Venus?

Second Question: Does anyone know about my 9th House Pluto?

In my past, I've been un-lucky in love because they were taken advantage of me and used me a lot. When I do fall in love with a woman, that person isn't interested and avoids me. Now I'm single and I'll probably stay like this indefinitely.

Long time no see ... welcome back ...

I have a Venus Conjunct Pluto, and one of the things I've learned about that here in the past is it can cause one to go to extremes. I'm not sure if this same thing would apply to the Sextile, but I'm thinking yeah, similar, cuz the energies blend well together and are not at odds.

What I mean by extremes is, you may go through a phase where sensuality becomes a very natural feeling, and you engage it in very intensely - whether with one person or more than one. But then you may go through a phase where you withhold from sensual/sexual experiences for a long time. Celibacy.

But, it also makes that sensual/sexual experience, whether expressed through the physical act, or whether channeled into another expression - it makes it very spiritual. It takes on a spiritual tone because of the Pluto. So it is NOT celibacy which is directed towards hatred of certain people, or something that becomes a power trip like in a Square or Opposition. Nor is it cutting yourself or others off from that Pluto energy - can you imagine ever truly containing Plutonian energy? ...

It takes on a transformative form. This has been my personal experience. I've practiced celibacy many times in my life, and I channel that creative energy into something else, and it becomes enhanced that much more.

Here's a interp for you :::

"Venus sextile or trine Pluto

The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Pluto have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.

Venus sextile Pluto or Venus trine Pluto: *You love deeply, passionately, and wholeheartedly, and others may find your intensity either extremely attractive or threatening. You are charismatic and can have a powerful emotional influence on others, especially those of the opposite sex. You may use your attractiveness to manipulate others, sometimes without even realizing it.

#Your powerful artistic gifts can provide the media for your spiritual expression. Sometimes you are driven by physical compulsion to produce tangible works."

...You experience powerful, compelling emotional and sexual attractions, and you may feel that you have little choice or control over your desires. You have an intense need for love and may be emotionally greedy or insatiable. Your love life is passionate and often tumultuous and painful as well. Jealousy, power struggles, or over-possessiveness can become areas of conflict in your relationships...

In a way, it very much does turn you into a victim and yet at the same time, turns you into the perpetrator. It makes the passion much more volatile than it probably should be. And you're likely (if youre anything like me) to attract people who are either equally as passionate/controlling or way more passionate/controlling than you are. And it brings struggles. Huge power struggles and sometimes you ARE the victim because you don't realize it. Obviously if we know what kind of ppl we attract before we attract them (esp. that kind) we'd try to avoid them. But sometimes you just can't. And a lot of times with MY placement in particular it comes down to be controlled in a relationship or control. It goes back and forth often. I find myself being controlled so i lash out and form this huge desire to control.

And it really is a cycle cuz this placement at times seems to produce the feeling that even though we're having these huge wars these huge power struggles, it's worth it, it's all I have. And times it feels like you're hanging on just to survive because it makes the relationship so obsessive and possessive that at times it feels like there really is nothing else.

It also exaggerates all that comes along with love. So by controlling you too can become a victim because sometimes you end up with a weak person who becomes smothered by your domineering and eventually explodes and it may be dangerous or just completely unexpected and it will be HUGE trust me.

Idk. It's a roller coaster. Of course I'm speaking on my behalf only, because thats where I'm getting my interp. from., my experiences.

I mean it's best summed up as when it's good it can be on the borderline of a fantasy and when things sour it's pure unadulterated hell.
