Obsession in Astrology PT 1: Pluto-Venus Aspects
Disclaimer: this is my own work, do not repost my content as your own! Give credit where credit is due, please. This post is for entertainment purposes only & should be taken as such as astrology is much too nuanced and complex.
As a fair warning, I will be going into great depth here, so if you don’t see a common placement or feel like I’ve missed something, I assure you I have not! It's all coming 🙂
I’m going to be focusing on pluto + Venus for this post, because, well, why not? Let’s first talk about what pluto is.
Pluto is an outer & generational planet that is traditionally ruled by Scorpio. Pluto symbolizes death, destruction, rebirth/transformation psychics, darkness, sex, occult interests / practices etc.
When we consider things like obsession or stalking, pluto is very comfortable here. is a very slow moving planet, so this planet can dwell in a sign for 20 years on average, but it can even be in a sign for 30 years, so when we are looking into things like obsession, stalking/stalkers, having high influence — the sign pluto is in does not matter as much as the house and aspects.
In this post, I’ll be going over the pluto-venus placements found in your birth chart that I feel could definitely signify obsession.
Pluto-Venus aspects
I just want to say that ALL Pluto-Venus aspects could involve stalking/obsession! But, let's talk about it.
Difficult aspects (conjunctions, opposites, squares) are arguably more difficult, of course.
Having pluto conjunct Venus can sort of emphasize this energy in your life and can bring extreme emotional or sexual intensity from others. This placement, to me, unfortunately means you will always attract very intense, obsessive, possessive and all consuming people into your life until you have better boundaries. You're like the real life Jessica Rabbit (or masculine equivalent or whatever) and people literally GAWK at you. Now, while I have to give you credit, you don't seek attention -- you are also not naive that it is there, and you can rather enjoy the intensity, admiration and devotion from others. They're obsessed with you, and you're obsessed with being obsessed over. You give off an intensity that people can sense, and that makes you very powerful to them. This is definitely the placement that deals with people that want to "own" them. Your exes, or situationships could be your biggest stalkers, popping in and out of your life for Intel on you lmaooo. You often become unforgettable to people even when you move on.
Having pluto square venus can make love seriously feel like a power struggle. YOU are the one who can struggle with obsession or obsessive thinking in terms of your relationships, but this isn't a one size fits all. You can just as well experience very intense obsession from others -- the difference is, this feel all consuming to you over time. While pluto conjunct Venus "rolls with the punches" when it comes to this energy, pluto square Venus can't just do that. You become consumed with the pain from these intense connections (or they do). This aspect can feel like being addicted to the absolute wrong person, to the person who hurt you the most. Or wanting someone so badly you can feel like you're losing yourself. I've also noticed that people can get addicted to any mental/mind games they THINK you're playing. They can even get addicted to the betrayal they feel by you, for instance, if you reject them they will obsessively think about it. For years.
Having pluto opposite venus can make the obsession you face feel like a game of tug of war between love and control. The kinds of stalkers or people who become obsessed with you tend to be people who can trigger your shadow side. The type of obsession you face could feel especially painful because people could genuinely love & obsess over you until they hate you :/ You might feel like your relationships are very karmic, or fated, much more than the other venus-pluto aspects. You might also feel like you have had past life connections with these people who stalk, or obsess over you. It's unexplainable, but undeniable, and you both feel it. you tend to attract stalkers who put you on a pedestal and see you as the one who completes or exposes them. There's a lot of emotional instability with these people, though - they will swing between adoration and resentment.
With venus trine pluto, people get addicted to the vibes lol. Obsession here is a little different and less intense. Here, obsession tends to be more emotional or spiritual, rather than aggressive. Your energy feels healing and safe, and people do not want to lose that. But remember, pluto is still involved - people can still take it too far. People become obsessed with your kindness and energy, to the point of possession. I see a lot of mistreatment to the placement person because people try to capture that healing essence while clinging on too tight and depleting you from your energy. Yes, you can find lots of energy vampires here. Though you can experience vampirism with any pluto/Venus contact, when these planets are trining, you can attract energetic vampires wanting to capture and possess your kindness and empathy. Your stalkers could be your deeply disturbed admirers who feel entitled to you. Once these people are out of your life, they will stalk the living daylights out of you online. They will also keep romanticizing things between you two even if it's far from reality.
With venus sextile pluto, people become obsessed with you because of how you have changed their lives. Your stalkers feel changed just by knowing you. They feel like you're "destined" to be with them (in any capacity) because of your ability to show others how to transform through dark chapters in their lives. The Obsession you face comes from when people mistake your kindness and empathy for intimacy. I've also noticed that those obsessed with you feel the need to protect you or guide you. They definitely give off the "romantic savior" vibes in a gross way.
IN GENERAL, having any pluto-venus aspects can definitely show that you have people who are obsessed with you, people who stalk you, and people who admire you from the shadows. Connections will usually feel intense, but in lots of cases, you rather enjoy the intensity. People get obsessed with you because you embody something that is hidden, seductive and even taboo in their eyes. You can see through people's facades and you can make people feel naked and exposed and they tend to see this as intimacy and become fixated.
