Venus Opposing Retrograde Pluto...

starts on May 23 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on May 24 at 1.15pm in Kilmore, leaves on May 25.  Venus at 4 degrees and 53 minutes of Cancer, retrograde Pluto at 4 degrees and 53 minutes of Capricorn.

Venus and Pluto in opposition can be quite an intense combination, especially with Venus travelling through the sensitive and emotional sign of Cancer.  As usual though, the opposition represents the opportunity to look at a certain relationship or situation objectively and to reach a turning point with it: most probably that came into your life when Venus and Pluto were conjunct last time back in November 2008 at 29 degrees of Sagittarius.

By looking at where the conjunction happened and the symbolism associated with it, you may get a feel for what is important now by looking at the symbolism associated with the opposition.  As usual look to see where these aspects fall in terms of the houses involved, and also which houses are ruled by Venus (ones with Taurus or Libra on the cusp), and by Pluto (one with Scorpio on the cusp).

Those of you with personal planets or points in Cancer or Capricorn may be especially sensitive to this transit.
