The Pluto person also senses that Venus admires the parts of themselves that they don’t entirely understand or possibly reject about themselves.

By this point, Pluto likely feels a strong desire to merge with Venus. They want to transform Venus and further experience and assimilate Venus’s effortless beauty and love that’s suddenly captivating Pluto’s heart.

All of their deep Plutonic feelings narrow to a laser like focus on Venus. With this new addictive swirl of feelings, an inevitable hint of possessiveness begins to set in.

3. They act quickly on a mutual desire to merge

They may not even have known why they feel such a strong pull and urge to get closer to the other person. They might not even be each other’s usual type. They feel curious about the other without understanding why.

That immense but subtle pull tends to snowball fast once they escalate towards forming an established connection.

The beginning stages of this relationship can feel like an utter storm. This is not a casual relationship energy.

There’s a desire to get to know the other person in and out. To share their most personal struggles and insecurities together. They both want to understand the other’s deepest and darkest sides, even if it scares them.

Their intense intimacy kicks off a rare sort of soul-binding. They begin to want each other on such a deep level that they struggle to find words for what they’re experiencing.

Other people can see it, too. It’s like there’s a deep magnetic pull between them. They love being in close proximity to each other and seem to always be touching.

They will find out every perverse and intimate part of each other, even the one’s that have been never been explored before. They feel like showing each other parts of themselves that have never been seen before.

Make-up sex is absolutely on the menu for these two after a conflict.

5. Feelings of obsession, possessiveness, and jealousy can abound

It’s easy for Venus to be obsessed with Pluto and Pluto to be obsessed with Venus with this aspect involved.

While their hunger for each other and mutual obsession is fun, it’s all-consuming nature can lead to excesses and extremes of desire.

There’s a dark side to contend with whenever Pluto is heavily involved in an individual synastry chart. All of Pluto’s hidden desires and fears are awakened by their relationship with Venus, and they will latch onto Venus heavily.

The Venus person might not realize how obsessed the Pluto person has become (unless they have a lot of Scorpionic aspects themselves). The Pluto person might keep this part of them hidden, intentionally or not. 

Possessiveness usually sets in for one or both of them, and Pluto in particular struggles to handle outside admirers. Admirers which Venus is undoubtedly going to have.

A fear of losing each other at the hands of another can take their minds hostage. And if Pluto loses confidence in their connection, they’re liable to do whatever in their power to keep Venus tightly within their grasp.

Pluto is naturally protective and will be willing to fight to protect Venus. But this protective instinct can become skewed by envy, jealousy, and possessiveness.

They might lash out at outside influences and try to keep Venus locked down “for their safety”. Venus might resist this attempt at controlling them, for Venus longs for a life of ease, harmony, and beauty; not confinement. 

This dynamic is less harsh in the conjunction when compared to the opposition or square aspect. It can sometimes be overlooked. But other times, jealousies can sabotage what would otherwise be a great relationship.

6. Control & power games

Venus has plenty of charm and is a planet that’s accustomed to getting its way, but Pluto is usually the one who has the upper hand in this relationship.

Pluto can feel like they have to own the Venus person. They might be mean or harsh to Venus, leveraging their power to hurt them to maintain control.

Pluto usually has their eyes on Venus at all times, which can be unnerving for Venus. They might sense that Pluto is driven fearfully by a desire to track their every move to keep them in their possession.

For Venus conjunct Pluto to work longterm (or start at all) there needs to be a willingness to let go of control. The Pluto person will have to contend with their fears of abandonment and losing influence over others.
