Venus Square Chiron

Author: Arwynne O’Neill – Originally published: January 2024

Venus square Chiron

On February 5, 2024, Venus squares Chiron. Venus is going to be at 16° Capricorn and Chiron is at 16° Aries so this is a square in the cardinal signs.

We all pretty much know what Venus means; it’s the goddess of love, it’s about relationships, it’s about beauty, and it’s also about money. But fewer people know what Chiron is.

Chiron

Chiron was a centaur in Greek mythology and in astrology it represents the wounded healer. So wherever you have Chiron in your chart — its sign placement and the house it’s in — is where you may experience a psychological wound that enables you to grow stronger in whatever area it symbolizes, and help others because of the pain that you’ve overcome in your own life.

We’ve done an entire episode on Chiron in Aries because that’s where I have Chiron. I am going to be having my Chiron return over the next year or so, which is an aspect everybody has around the age of 50. So if you want to know more about Chiron in Aries, you should definitely listen to that episode.

The Transit

When we have Venus Square Chiron, this can create a lot of inner tension that can be really painful for people. It can make you feel like you’re being emotionally abused, bullied or taken advantage of. It can make you feel trapped in your relationships or like you are being sabotaged. You can feel as though you want to help people but they just lash out at you and there can be a lot of self-criticism and overstepping of boundaries with this aspect.

If you’re in a relationship that has a lot of emotional conflict it could become heightened around this time, and if you are in a relationship where one of you has set yourself up as sort of the protector or the savior of the other, things could really become tense at this time.

Venus square Chiron in the Birth Chart

In the natal chart this aspect can create a lot of tension within a person’s relationships. They may continually attract or be attracted to people who are bad for them, emotionally damaged, emotionally unavailable and this can really hurt their self-esteem in a number of ways.

This is often because they think they can heal or save the other person and can they end up getting dragged down Into the depths themselves. They often romanticize romantic pain, which is also great for art but not a great approach to relationships in general, and they can feel inadequate, like they deserve criticism, or they can become addicted to emotional pain in relationships, at sort of the most extreme end of the spectrum.

Of course the reason we’re focusing on the negative is because with the square aspect you are really going to see more of the sort of the negative side than if they had, for example, Venus trine or sextile Chiron, which maybe would make them a great nurse or caregiver or something.

Artistic Outlets

Since Venus rules artistic pursuits, a lot of that pain can be used to create amazing music and art, which we often see with harsh Venus aspects but that doesn’t make it any more fun for the person with the aspect. They can be very sensitive to the opinions of others and they can go overboard in analyzing every little detail of their relationships, either criticizing the other person or trying to save the other person, or becoming enmeshed in bad habits and dangerous, toxic behaviors because they fall in love with either the wrong person or they find themselves attracted to that dark side.

Celebrities with Venus square Chiron

Angelina Jolie, Leonard Cohen, Arthur Rimbaud, Sinead O’Connor, George Michael, Russell Brand, Courtney Love, Joe Biden, Stanley Kubrick, Judy Garland, Chris Cornell, Bill Murray, Leo Tolstoy and Val Kilmer.

Sun Conjunct Pluto

Basic Natal Astrology, Planets

Author: Arwynne O’Neill – Published January 2024

Sun Conjunct Pluto

On January 20th, 2024 the Sun is going to be conjunct Pluto at 29° Capricorn. This is the last major aspect that Pluto makes in Capricorn as the Sun and Pluto both move into Aquarius the next day. Pluto’s final transit into Aquarius comes in November, after a brief retrograde this fall.

So we’re going to talk a bit about what you can expect from this transit, then what it looks like in your natal chart and then we’ll have some celebrity examples.

Listen to episode >>> Sun Conjunct Pluto

The Sun Conjunct Pluto in Transit

This transit happens once a year, so next time the Sun and Pluto are conjunct in January 2025, they’ll be in Aquarius.

As we’ve said before, anytime Pluto connects with a personal planet and the Sun is about as personal as it gets, we can expect to feel its effects. They won’t really not long lasting because the sun moves pretty quickly, but it’s about a day or so. Of course, if you have the sun in Capricorn you will have been experiencing the Pluto conjunction for a while and if you have it at 29° Capricorn that aspect will be exact on January 20, so all of this will apply to you in a big way.

The Sun conjunct Pluto in transit can dramatically increase your desire for power and your ability to influence outcomes in your life. You may feel this heightened intensity within yourself or you could observe it around you, and it could lead to power struggles. You may become controlling and manipulative towards other people or you may begin to feel paranoid, as if hidden enemies were plotting against you, but this is probably not how most people will experience this transit.

A more productive use of these energies would be conducting research and investigatimg mysteries or deep instrospection. You may be able to get to the bottom of psychological issues at this time because this transit can bring about the sort of obsessive behavior that’s obviously beneficial if you’re investigating anything.

Some dramatic or upsetting events may occur, especially involving power struggles and reversals of fortune, the mighty being brought down by hidden secrets coming to light or abuses of power being exposed.

In your life this would be a good time to excavate, investigate, and eliminate… That could be as simple as de-cluttering, getting rid of anything that’s getting in your way and no longer serving you, and this could include relationships or work that’s unfulfilling and anything else that you have outgrown and that’s holding you back. You have access to extra reserves of power at this time that you should try to make use of, in the form of both willpower and the will to power.

The Sun Conjunct Pluto in the Birth Chart

People with the Sun conjunct Pluto in their charts can be profoundly intense people, they can wield great power and influence but they could also be subject to powerful forces and those forces can either destroy them or make them stronger. They can be incredibly ambitious people with a great deal of willpower and a probing, piercing nature that can come across as overbearing.

They can read people very well and get to the bottom of matters because they are excellent researchers they have very political minds, so they can be very effective leaders. They value their privacy, and they can even come across as mysterious or paranoid. They can also get embroiled in decadent, self-destructive behaviors, ruthless power struggles and manipulation of others. They are often attracted to the dark side, or the Underworld, which may include addictions, criminal activities, etc. But they can also become great investigators or go up against the powers that be and bring about change from revolutionary or investigative activities.

Celebrities and Historical Figures with the Sun Conjunct Pluto

And you can really see this in some of our celebrity examples. Artists with this aspect are often instrumental in creating art, movies and literature exploring the relationship between power and the powerless.

Celebrities with Sun conjunct Pluto:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martha Stewart, Steve Wozniak, Mick Jagger, Emmet Till, Alan Turing, Hunter S. Thompson, Hulk Hogan, Lance Armstrong, Victor Hugo, Charlie Sheen, Tim Burton, Jada Pinkett Smith and Emperor Nero.

Embracing the Wisdom of Natural Cycles

As we navigate the transits, it’s essential to approach these natural cycles with a sense of mindfulness and openness. Just as the planets follow their orbits with purpose, we too can align our intentions with the rhythm of the cosmos. Creative endeavors, personal growth, and spiritual exploration can be enhanced by attuning ourselves to the energies present during specific celestial alignments.

Conclusion

In the universe, the Sun, Moon, and planets continue a cosmic dance. As a professional astrologer with a keen interest in mindfulness and creativity, I believe that to embrace these natural cycles brings an opportunity for self-discovery and inspiration.

Gifts for Your Astrologer

Gifts for Your Astrologer

Introduction

Not everyone has their own astrologer, but if you happen to have one, consider showing them some appreciation this Christmas. Just like you’d gift your building concierge, your kid’s teacher, or your manicurist, you can also give a thoughtful present to your astrologer.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive some heartfelt gifts from my clients. These include a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a potted living herb, homemade cookies presented in a lovely tin, and even some enchanting Hellenistic Myth-themed reading cards from a thoughtful client who brought them back from a trip to Greece.

Each gesture of kindness from my clients is truly appreciated, and it warms my heart to receive such considerate tokens of gratitude.

This holiday season, if you have an astrologer who has made a positive impact on your life, taking a moment to express your thanks can be a wonderful way to spread joy and goodwill.

Whether it’s a small gesture or a heartfelt note, acknowledging the connection you share can make the holiday season even more special for both you and your astrologer.

Gifts for Your Astrologer

Say Thank You

Take a moment to express your gratitude with a heartfelt note. If you’ve experienced one or more readings from your astrologer, consider reaching out to convey your thanks.

This simple act not only brings a warm and comforting feeling to every dedicated astrologer but also enhances the likelihood of securing an earlier booking or being accommodated at the last minute when you’re known as a kind and thoughtful client.

In the world of astrology, dealing with demanding clients is not uncommon. By being the client who appreciates and acknowledges their efforts, you effortlessly stand out as the ideal client, creating a positive and harmonious relationship with your astrologer.

A Glowing Referral

One of the most meaningful gifts you can offer your astrologer is a positive referral. Share your positive experiences by writing a recommendation for someone else who may become your astrologer’s new client.

Rest assured, your astrologer will maintain confidentiality and won’t discuss your chart with your friends, and vice versa.

However, having a personal reference can be invaluable when individuals seek an astrologer for a reading, providing them with the assurance that they are approaching someone recommended by a satisfied previous client.

Testimonial Note

Compose a heartfelt testimonial directly addressed to your astrologer. Craft an email expressing your appreciation for their work and grant permission for them to use it.

This testimonial can be featured on their testimonials page as a genuine reflection of your positive experience with their services.

Sharing your satisfaction in written form not only acknowledges their expertise but also contributes to building trust and credibility for potential clients exploring their services.

An Apple Podcast Review

If you’ve tuned in to multiple episodes of the Starzology Astrology podcast, you might want to consider sharing your thoughts through a five-star review on Apple.

Your gesture would be truly appreciated. Producing these podcast episodes involves a significant investment of time and effort, and your support means a lot.

Writing a five-star review on Apple is completely cost-free for you. I emphasize the five-star rating because that’s what we hope for. However, if you’re leaning towards a one-star review due to dissatisfaction, I encourage you to reach out directly to the astrologer to discuss your concerns privately. Publicly sharing a negative review may not be the most constructive way to address any issues you may have.

Remember the karmic saying, “What goes around comes around.” If you encounter problems with your astrologer, it’s advisable to communicate privately. On the other hand, if you’re eager to express your admiration, crafting a public five-star review on Apple would be a wonderful way to do so.

If you’re in the mood to leave a five-star review for us, your feedback is more than welcome. Your positive words contribute to the podcast’s growth and are deeply appreciated.

That’s It

Your astrologer doesn’t necessarily desire an extravagant gift from you; they don’t require additional possessions. The most valuable gift you can offer, without any cost to you, is the thoughtful gesture of a positive referral or a pleasant review.

This act of appreciation will leave a lasting impression on your astrologer, and your kindness will be remembered well into the future.

Wishing you a Happy New Year and expressing gratitude. Thank you.
