Venus Square Pluto Support This Week


I’m not the astrologer that talks about every transit moving through the sky. There is always quite a lot going on. And I try to focus more on utilitarian personalization. But I am in a Venus year by annual profection and I have been musing around Venus as a result. And even if that wasn’t the case I would talk about this square because it’s not just a dialogue between these two planets in the sky. It rules the upcoming Full Moon in Libra Wednesday (4/1) which I already spoke about here. A full moon that comes at a time when we have all planets direct and some intense forward momentum incoming. I wanted to share some support for the week thru this lens as well.

The Moon is waxing into its fullness as this square is getting tighter between Venus and Pluto which is creating a tension. We love a Moon with its planet in rulership AND Pluto is bringing a vibe we can’t ignore in this equation.

This square does not have to be dramatic but it does ask what are the parts of you that you’ve been quietly tolerating? Also parts that fit the conditioned “establishment” but not necessarily the truth of you’re becoming. They may start to feel less tolerable this week. I wanted to share some practical work withs:

1. Track what actually feels good (not what should or used to feel good)

Taurus can get mislabeled as “simple pleasures”…but it’s actually refined sensation. Pluto will expose where you’ve been performing enjoyment.

Practice: Throughout the week ask yourself what really resonated? Meals, conversations, content you consume, people you spend time with… as we are moving through this ascension period in general you may find taste shifting, things falling away, energetics that once felt good but no longer hit the same. If it’s a “meh” or a subtle drain, that data. Not necessarily some big problem to fix but an invitation to more resonance.

2. Cut one quiet energy leak

Pluto doesn’t need you to overhaul your life. And be mindful that what you might initially see as a problem is not a projection on your part. But check in with one leak, one place where energy is going out and not coming back resourced.

This might be:

  • a conversation you stay in too long, a relationship no longer feeling reciprocal

  • a place where you’re over giving, over accommodating, always compromising

  • a scrolling habit that leaves you feeling flat

  • saying yes before checking your body

Pick something to close the loop on this week. It doesn’t have to be big, just intentional. Closing a loop may just look like bringing awareness to a darker nook or cranny you’ve been avoiding, pulling your energy back, stopping the over explaining, not overriding yourself again.

3. allow some space in your decisions

Especially when it comes to topics in your life ruled by Venus like your Taurus and Libra houses. Taurus moves at the pace where your body can actually respond. It lives in the slow. There is A LOT of initiating Aries energy and Pluto especially in an air sign can bring urgency but urgency does not always equal truth. Notice where you may need to take a beat and let your body catch up to what you’re thinking.

4. work with your hands or your body daily

Embodiment > overprocessing. Anchor into something physical. Think nervous system love notes, fascia work, cooking, bare feet on the Earth, slow strength, nourishing food you digest well, self massage, even reorganizing a drawer with intention. It gives Pluto somewhere to move through instead of staying mental or emotional.

5. upgrade one standard (quietly)

Not in the announce it on socials kind of way. Just living it.

Taurus = standard

Pluto = non-negotiables

Choose an area of your life… what you eat, how you’re spoken to, how you spend your time. Then ask what would this look like if it matched my worth? And I mean your upgraded, in this moment, knowing your worth is not quantifiable because you are an extension of Source level of worth. And adjust accordingly. Upgrade your baseline.

6. pleasure without proving

Pluto can make everything feel loaded, intense, meaningful. Taurus reminds you that some things are allowed to just feel good.

Do one pleasurable thing daily that has no specific outcome. That is not about productivity, not about fixing, it’s not “I need to this because… xyz”, or a healing angle or a growth goal, just because it feels good. Just because you enjoy it.

7. notice where control is replacing trust

Aquarius Pluto can grip through overthinking, future-tripping, nervous system dysregulation. Taurus restores trust through repetition and presence. When you catch yourself getting caught up in the mind came back to your body, breath, presence.


This week is about less proving, less forcing, more noticing. What doesn’t feel like you anymore. What doesn’t serve you’re becoming. On that note I wanted to share a gift for you from inside THIS IS THE SPACE. Enjoy!
