Pluto, as we’ve said many times, is at the very end of Sagittarius, and today Venus is making a conjunction out on that fiery edge as it gets ready to ingress Capricorn tomorrow. Pluto to Venus is lusty, passionate, and potent; in Sagittarius, with the added spiritual or cosmic vibration, it might feel like tantric sex. There is a lighter density, waves of energy rippling through the whole energy field more than focused sensation in the body. There is a sense of meaning and rather than just feeling, but the meaning may elude words.
Venus to Pluto is also a test of, or demonstration of, one’s values.
Mercury squares Nessus, triggering deeper discussions that might not come up normally; the Venus to Pluto conjunction accents the theme.
The setup reminds us that power is enhanced by work and discipline. By discipline, I mean dedication to the achievment of a chosen goal. Work is not bad, unless you don’t care for the work. Mercury square Nessus suggests expression and thought being strained by odd situations or perhaps ‘bad blood’ from the past. It is important in these exhanges to be truthful and to be aware of your emotions. It is often difficult with Nessus to determine who is the perpetrator and who is something else It is best to step outside of the situation and try to understand the thought process that might have led you into the situation in the first place.
