Eros is the body’s yes, the instinct that leans toward beauty, contact, and creation. Pluto is the underworld truth-teller who strips away pretense. When they square, the friction exposes what desire has been carrying—fear of being consumed, fear of not being wanted, the ache to be seen without bargaining for it. You may feel sudden pulls, intrusive fantasies, or surges of jealousy that surprise you with their voltage. It’s not a signal to dramatize, nor to shut it down; it’s a sign that something alive has touched a wound.
Working with this transit means letting the heat clarify rather than control you. If you can stay close to the body without abandoning boundaries, desire becomes a lantern. It lights the places where you have confused power with love, performance with intimacy, possession with safety. The square is a shaping pressure: it asks for ethical passion, for naming what you want while honoring others’ sovereignty and your own. In that practice, compulsion thins and something steadier appears—devotion, creative focus, erotic self-respect.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Chemistry can spike, and with it the urge to merge or to manage. Honest conversations about boundaries, jealousy, and consent become a doorway to deeper trust, or a clear reckoning with what cannot be forced.
Creativity & Expression
Obsession can crystallize into art, writing, or performance that has real pulse. Expect themes of allure, taboo, and transformation to surface; the work wants your nerve and your restraint.
Healing & The Body
Libido and memory may stir together, revealing old stories lodged in sensation. Slow contact with the body helps transmute shame into tenderness and restores choice where habit once ran the show.

During this period, treat desire like weather moving through: real, powerful, and not the whole sky. Name what you want without making it a verdict on your worth or a demand on anyone else. When you feel the impulse to control, notice the younger fear underneath it—fear of abandonment, of invisibility, of losing yourself—and offer that fear steadiness instead of strategy.
Let intensity focus you rather than shrink you. Choose transparency over manipulation, pacing over performance, consent over conquest. In practicing this, you discover that desire is not a problem to solve but a current to relate to, one that can carry you toward deeper intimacy with yourself and cleaner love with others.
Desire reveals my truth; integrity decides what I do with it.
