I'm a depth psychotherapist and an astrologer, and I am excited to explore with you this archetypal combination of Venus and Pluto from a depth psychological perspective.

So what I first want to do is share with you from this book, Planets in Transit by Robert Hand, because sometimes I want to say, you know, what does Rob Hand have to say about this and other authors sometimes? And I...

particularly want to share this with you because I get a lot out of reading different astrology books and revisiting the ones that resonate with me.

And Planets in Transit is great just for getting insight into into different planetary combinations, not even just by transit.

And so while I do like this book, I do find it to be a bit literal sometimes, which is a part of the challenge of reading astrology sometimes is, we tend to concretize things.

And here today, I want us to give the planets, the planets as a pair, a bit more room to help us understand them and what they can actually be experienced as.

So this section, Robert Hand says of the transit of Pluto square Venus, which is a transit that happens over the course of several years.

Pluto transits can be anywhere from four to six years.

Oh, did you? And at some point I was like, am I just making privileged white ladies feel better about

themselves? In Chaturanga.

It's telling us like, oh, at this time, these types of things will happen here on Earth.

Got it.

And so one teacher, Robert Hand, talks about it as, like, there's a clock for the soul of the world.

Ooh, a clock for the soul of the world.
