Venus Sextile Pluto Uncovers Hidden Passions and These 3 Zodiac Signs Are Testing Their Limits

On Feb. 7, Venus will meet with Pluto, bringing deep transformation in love and power

Embrace the thrill of the rush!

On Feb. 7, Venus in Aries will meet with powerhouse Pluto in a spicy sextile, setting the stage for a love affair with destiny — this is all about rewriting the rules and unveiling your most audacious desires.

In Aries, Venus takes on the bold, fiery and assertive energy of the Ram. The love planet isn’t here to play it safe when transiting this Fire sign. On the contrary, it’s diving in headfirst, fearless and unapologetic with its desires. 

After all, there’s nothing Venus in Aries loves more than a passionate pursuit, an adventure where there’s no room for second-guessing.

It is no wonder this ravishing transit is known to spark magnetic attractions, which are often the result of impulsive decisions. Here, Venus is wild, fiercely passionate and unapologetic with desire.

Now, bringing Pluto in Aquarius into the mix — the planet of power, transformation and all that is hidden beneath the surface — there’s an undeniable magnetism and undercurrent of intensity. 

In Aquarius, the Lord of the Underworld is here to shake up the status quo, question the norm and push boundaries. This is the revolutionary and visionary of Pluto signs, but its relentless desire to uncover buried truths remains. 

There isn’t anything remotely subtle about Plutonian energy and when transiting a rebellious Air sign like Aquarius, it encourages us to embrace the unknown with radical curiosity. 

When Venus in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius, we’re individually and collectively presented with the opportunity for bold transformation and a fiery, passionate romance or muse of inspiration.

Sextiles are considered harmonious and beneficial, and when considering the influence of the love planet and taboo-loving Pluto, there is raw chemistry, power and intimacy.

Granted, this isn’t the usual kind of attraction or connection you’re used to but instead, one that defies expectations and pushes you to evolve. The more unorthodox and unconventional, the more thrilling and unpredictable.
