So, I'm wondering if I'm the only Venus square Pluto natally that has problems letting people go.I don't mean regular people, however. Strangers, acquaintances and even friends have come and gone from my life, without me so much as batting an eyelash at it. I think this has to do with my Virgo Sun and Aqua Moon. BUT, I can't seem to ever stop loving someone I felt deeply for. It's not even that I have hope to be with some of these guys... It's that I struggle with letting them go. And of course, when I'm in the process of clearing them and my feelings for them out, they crawl their way back into my life. I have read that those with Leo Venus have this particular problem, and I think I have it magnified by her square to Pluto in Scorpio. Can anyone tell me how to fix this warped notion of loyalty of mine? IP: Logged |

I have that, and also Moon in Aqua.I have come to the realization that I just have to surrender to it, the fact is once I love someone, I will love them forever. That does not mean I need to be in a relationship with them though; but the caring will always be there. I used to think I need to cut it out of my soul and heart, but in the process all this resulted in was that I felt like I was cutting my very soul out of me, and that is definitely not worth it. So if they are as embedded in my soul, I should simply let them live there, and actually now I feel some sort of gratitude that I am even able to feel that deeply about someone, no matter what the other party might feel or not.

I have the square with an Aqua Venus and I too cant let go of people. I have also an exact moon quincunx pluto, so that adds up to. I think you have to accept it. I mean there is no way out really :/IP: Logged |

I have Venus in Leo and I don't have a problem letting go. I just tell myself it's part of life. We all change and grow, for the most part, and whatever will be will be. I know someone with the square who is really obsessive and jealous but when she's with someone it's just weird. Her relationships never work out and there was a lot of violence in her childhood which I am sure is why she has so many issues. For her to have a healthy relationship, she is going to have to really transform her emotional/love nature. She also has a habit of falling for people who won't add much and then she tries to control them and it ends up blowing up into huge fights in which they get physical. It's just a mess. Because of this one person, I have a negative view of Venus in bad aspect to Pluto. I have the square in the opposite sign with Mars and Pluto yet I don't experience it as badly. From what I've seen, the square from Venus to Pluto is a thousand times more destructive than from Mars to Pluto. It's just really difficult when you see the worst of it to put any positive spin on it especially when I see nothing ever gets resolved, the person I know stays the same, never tries to change these negative patterns.

I have Leo in Venus AND Venus square Pluto just like you and I definitely see where you're coming from. Usually when friends come and go I don't get too hurt about it unless they were very close, almost family-like to me (Cancer moon hates that). But when it comes to losing love, it's a terrible process to go through. I've been with my current SO for two years and I never feel an inkling of love for my ex anymore but I know if he were to contact me I would care even though I don't want to. IP: Logged |

Thanks for sharing this! I don't have venus/pluto but moon and asc/pluto and I begin to think this way too, surrender at the feeling instead of letting go. Do you think you could feel this way for more than one person? I feel this way just for one person until now. IP: Logged |

Thanks, guys.It's just that, whenever I talk to someone else about me keeping in touch with exes or even talking to them if we bump into each other, people say that's too weird and civilized to be true. I do feel sometimes taken advantadge of, though, because my exes all know I care for and will try to help wherever I can. Which is extremely one-sided, as they're all too happy to come for crumbs and leave without so much a "thank you". IP: Logged |

People who can't let go of past lovers are a turn-off for this gal.  It's just not right for your current / future SO.

Lol, it's not that you want that person in a romantic or even sexual way... It's more like, you just love that person. There isn't any conotation to that love (at least for me). I want them to be happy and well and once the moving-on phase is over, I'm even glad to see they've got girlfriends and are having good times. It's the process that is painful as f*ck to get there... But then, I don't do the whole "let me get with this guy to forget that other guy". I keep to myself and focus on school/career, going about my life. Usually I know I'm over someone when I start liking another guy. I'm too monogamous and romantic to like two guys at the same time.  IP: Logged |

That'd be a nightmare for me, LOL. I keep in touch with ALL the guys I have liked/dated. I never divulge their names, though. I did it once, and it was very annoying, how the current guy always acted like I was hiding something, i.e. talking to the other one behind his back. He had Venus and Mercury square Pluto, plus Pluto opposite Mars, natally, AND his Pluto square my Venus in synastry, though. Even hacked into my e-mail account once. IP: Logged |

Yeah, a Scorpio/Pluto/8H person would go INSANE with someone like you!!  Not saying what you do is bad, just... hard to accept for possessive / jealous people. IP: Logged |

Same here. However I find that not all people seem to unerstand the concept of "just love, without wanting to have a relationship". Maybe it has something to do with the Aqua-Moon. I don´t know. Well, I don´t find it weird to be friends with an Ex still. My best friend managed to do that, keeping in contact with her ex-boyfriend she had been sharing 7 years of her life with. Her husband doesn`t mind (he has an Aqua-Moon btw ). There is no room for jealousy between them, as they are so very upfront and honest to each other. Personally I think that Exes are Exes for a reason. IP: Logged |

Yes, people are quite different. To be honest someone like that, in male form, would be a nightmare to ME. I would feel so limited, fenced in, always needing to walk on eggshells that I probably could not wait for the first opportunity to break out. Interestingly as long as the doors are wide open, I never feel any urge to walk through them. But the moment the doors are closing, I just can`t think of anything else but getting away, no matter how nice it might be inside, and how stormy the weather outside is. This is true for friendships and even family relations as well. KInda hard for my Scorpio-mum, when I was a kid. lol

I have an 8H Leo Venus that attracts possessive people like nobody's business, so I MUST keep my mouth shut on this matter. I don't know, it seems like I pull these type of feelings out of them... I met a guy who was Sag Sun-Moon, Cap Venus and Virgo Mars, who you'd THINK wouldn't care about my past, right? Wrong. Not only did he try to get their names out of me by telling me all of HIS exes' names, he got upset over a picture of me with a guy friend (truly a guy who is a friend, not a love interest). Mom, dad, friends, guys... Even guys that turned me down act crazy when I show interest in someone else  IP: Logged |

I think it's the Aqua Moon, as well. Makes us less possessive, since we don't want to be controlled or caged in, and it's only fair we give what we take, right? And I agree, exes are exes for a reason: the romantic relationship didn't work out. Doesn't nullify the friendship that existed before or even was born after. IP: Logged |

Did you said all these people are jealous of you? I have a 8th house venus too and the same experience, but I thought was because of my Pluto on MC O.o

Lol, not jealous, possessive... there's a SLIGHT difference there.  I don't have Pluto on MC. I've gone through all of the most annoyingly possessive people I know, and sure enough, they all hit my 8H with something, planet or angle. C-R-A-Z-Y. IP: Logged |

Yeah, sorry, I meant this (possessive) My parents are VERY possessive with me, mom has moon in my 8th and dad, sun.They have also Pluto exactly conjunct my sun. I thought it was Pluto because many people I know have Pluto contacts with me, often they are the Pluto person .My aqua moon freak out with this kind of thing...sigh

I have Venus opposing Saturn in the 7th house as well. I also have very strong Pluto aspects some easy, some challenging. So maybe that's why even with such a wide orb, venus square pluto hits me hardIP: Logged | |
