Pluto transits can be life-changing, marking periods of growth, pain, and transformation. During the Pluto square, each planet that has been impacted by those Pluto transits meets up with Pluto again for “trips down memory lane,” bringing up old memories and experiences. This can be a time of healing and reflection, as we are invited to look back at the past and ask ourselves how we have healed and where we still hurt.

When I learned that Venus was in detriment in Aries, I was devastated.
It felt like even astrology was saying I was ugly and my gender presentation was broken.
The day Venus moved into my 12th house was one of those high-drama days. I felt like I was made of glass. Every social interaction felt like it left a chip or a crack. Issues with my social circle that I had been coping with adequately for months boiled over all at once.
Venus is supposed to be a benefic planet, so it was surprising to experience a Venus transit that way.
One of the qualities of the benefics, however, is that they try to improve whatever they touch.
