Can a relationship last during a Venus square Pluto transit?

My boyfriend is going thru this transit and it's been a lot of drama and hurt feelings. Just don't know if we will last anymore
Wish I had know about this! We just had a long discussion bordering on argument last night. We were both saying the same thing (we want to spend more time together and are frustrated by how busy we both are/the distance). But of course we were both defensive and started to get heated. Sigh.

I told him lets not say anything we will regret later. Lets figure this out face to face when I see you later this week.

Found this..."Transiting Venus square Pluto can have a profound effect on your love life. Power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness. At the root of such behaviors would be a deeply buried fear or insecurity about not feeling loved or valued. Of course, it may be you who is subject to such behaviors from a partner.

Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled. An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic. A well based relationship will withstand the intensity of this transit. In this case, there would still be some kind of transformation undertaken within the relationships dynamics."


Here's hoping we make it through the fallout.

Me too. It's too much for me to continue going thru if it doesn't change soon. I care about him a lot but my happiness matters more
