Weekly Love and Sex Horoscope: March 31 – April 6
March 31, 2008 by kishner
On Wednesday, Pluto stations retrograde. Whenever a planet apparently stops and reverses motion, the themes with which it is associated are pronounced. Look to the house of your natal chart that contains the first few degrees of Capricorn. The areas of life ruled by this house will be dismembered and resurrected. You may have power struggles or intense connections with people governed by this house. If its the 11th, your friends; 3rd, your siblings; 7th, your partner; 5th, your kids or your lover. Also on this day, Mercury enters Aries. You can communicate directly and with force, and are little inclined to worry about the effect of your words on others. Language is a means of taking action. If you have your heart set on someone but have been afraid to speak up, now is an excellent time to jump into the fire!
On Thursday, Mercury squares Pluto. Both planets are in cardinal signs — the modality of initiative — and the 90-degree angle is an aspect of action. Use your intellect to dig up secrets; talk about sexual taboos. Find out if your lover is having an affair, or explore new ways to get kinky. You can’t get what you want if you don’t ask!
Saturday’s New Moon in Aries is all about “me me me.” Focus on projects that inspire you. Love can wait.
On Sunday, Venus enters Aries and squares Pluto. When the love planet meets the first sign of the zodiac, we are attracted to whatever is new, and express affection impetuously. Subtlety is not Aries’ strong suit, so do not expect soft and fuzzy intimacy at this time. Quick-and-dirty sex is appropriate at this time — and with Pluto in the mix, throw in some bondage or domination to explore power dynamics. Or not. Regardless of what you do in the bedroom, love has an obsessive-compulsive flavor when Venus and Pluto make a stressful aspect to each other. With consciousness, you can use this time to purge the toxins in a relationship or midwife a rebirth in your own relational patterns.

u didn’t mention today, how is the love aspect? susan
@susan, If I don’t write about a specific day, it’s usually because the only aspects are from the transiting Moon — which are so fleeting that I do not put too much weight on them (unless it’s a New or Full Moon).
Ha, like I need an excuse like “Venus in Aries” for bondage, hehe.
Pluto just entered my 7th house, after many years wreaking havoc in my 6th. Power struggles at work were inevitable so I preferred to temp or be self-employed and kept moving about, umpteen different jobs and locations . . .
To stay too long in one place, something or someone would blow because I wouldn’t let them have power over me. This made them mad, because they had seniority and ruled the roost. So they constantly tried to order me about and tell me what to do and how to do it their way, and if I ignored them and did a good job my way, it made these women very angry. It’s like they were telling me, “Get with the program, Victoria” and if I didn’t because my program worked better and got my work done faster and more efficiently, well, that was that. Someone would start a smear campaign and ruin my references. But thankfully my male bosses always gave me good letters of reference which overrode what those missy pissy wenches were in knots about.
I get along well with men but women at work would eat me alive if I let them. It’s like they consider me a threat to their existence or something, when I’m just doing my thing. So for the last decade I’ve been doing my own thing, alone, and managed to stay out of trouble when I did. I learned to not socialize in the lunchrooms and to not get involved in office politics. The vultures still come after me and eye me with suspicion but you get used to it after awhile. A person needs a couple of close loyal friends outside of the 6th house when Pluto is lurking there in the shadows–and then everything is tolerable.
Pluto in the 7th? Oh dear. I will be sure to stay single and avoid public partnerships of any kind. I barely made it through Pluto in the 6th; the 7th could kill me. Especially since it is sitting right on my Descendant, conjunct Lilith. Any guy I get involved with now will be the death of me, literally.
