I have venus conjunct karma and mars in the 8th with vertex there too.

I am just starting this thread to try to reflect on what this means in my natal and ofcourse I am open to feedback if you have personal experiences with venus conjunct karma or have any insights.

Venus rules my MC and 5th, on one hand I am creating good karma through my career as a counselor and also growing by helping others with their healing journey as personal growth in this field can often be a parallel process.

I also seem to have karmic lessons involving romantic love but then again I think everyone struggles with this area of their life as dating and relationships are challenging so how much of it is karma or just simply part of the human experience.

I tend to be attracted to the lost souls that have a hard time adjusting to this world; that can be stubborn with narcissistic tendencies who refuse to get real help etc...I come in and want to rescue them...

I wonder if my VENUS conjunct KARMA in LEO in the 8th is about learning to identify when I am in a toxic relationship and learning to know when to walk away from it. These relationships come into my life, they feel fated but are also toxic in some ways and I have a hard time letting go and give myself so much to them.

As pluto enters my 2nd house I feel pluto is trying to teach me to put myself first and recognize imbalances in a relationship that I should not tolerate.

As a child I was obsessed with romantic love and wanted to experience this big unbreakable love and venus conjunct karma I feel has also helped me balance out that excessive idealism around love although that is just probably me getting older and life experiences bound to ground me more into reality. I am wondering now if venus conjunct karma and vertex is less about finding the one and more about learning to end relationships that are not good for me.
