1. Intense Passion Meets Power Struggles
When Mars squares Pluto in synastry, your passion may intermingle with dark intensity. The sexual chemistry is explosive, almost combustible between you two. Even your everyday interactions feel loaded with strong emotions and desire.
While exciting initially, this intensity can lead to power struggles. The same desire that makes you bonded can also create conflicts. You both may seek to dominate the partnership. Manipulation can prevail while mutual understanding falters.
Due to the influence of Pluto, the square with Mars can stir primal, taboo desires in you both. Sex can become obsessive and almost violent in its urgency. Lust can arise too. The relationship often borders on an addictive, can’t-live-with-each-other yet can’t-live-without-each-other quality.
Ultimately, true intimacy requires genuine vulnerability, which this square actively avoids. Deep down, you both may fear losing control. So power games may dominate the connection as a means of self-protection.
2. Sexual Attraction Is Potent
Sexual desire between you burns hot and urgent under this aspect! You may need to call 911 because the chemistry feels enchanting, even irresistible at times. Raw, alluring passion dominates your interactions.
Both partners feel consumed by each other, at least initially. Over time, sex may become about the release of tension versus real intimacy, however. You may use it to avoid deeper issues or to wield control over your partner.
Kinky, taboo explorations often accompany this square. You may enjoy pushing one another’s comfort zones and limitations sexually. Dominance, submission, and role-play dynamics could usually arise in the bedroom too.
While exciting, this sexual intensity mustn’t replace true intimacy and open communication. If your relationship is based solely on sex, it won’t last. At its darkest, sex can become a weapon under Mars-Pluto square.
3. Jealousy And Possessiveness Can Fester
Given the intense passions stirred, possessiveness and jealousy often fester with this square. You may become highly territorial over each other. Even harmless interactions with others can be viewed as threats.
Irrational suspicions could arise that the other is cheating, harboring secret desires, or looking elsewhere. You might cautiously monitor your partner’s every move to alleviate your jealousy. Their desire for autonomy or outside friendships can feel dangerous.
Mind games, guilt trips, underhanded tactics, or emotional blackmail may occur to gain leverage. You could feel unable to address control issues peacefully so they may play out through violent means.
This can slowly poison the well of love between you. The paranoid jealousy actually stems from your inner insecurity. But this only pushes your partner away and harms the intimacy in the long run.
True love involves trusting your partner, not possessing them. Your partner is like a bird; if you love them, you must set them free. Your bond will deepen as you learn self-restraint instead of restraining your partner.
4. Anger Can Turn Destructive
With Mars square Pluto synastry, repressed anger and resentment can build to destructive levels. Rather than discuss your grievances, you tend to bury your inner frustrations and then explode unexpectedly.
This is often the case because Mars is the planet of war. All the accumulated frustrations could spew out in bitter attacks against each other’s character or the relationship itself.
Once unleashed, this volcanic anger is hard to contain. A single fight may spell the end of your lifelong connection as buried rages surface, so you need to watch out.
Sometimes, your conversations can become minefields where each person’s underlying motives get questioned. Trust can disintegrate over time as aggression replaces honesty, and skepticism replaces reliability.
For the partnership to survive, you both must find non-violent outlets for your feelings and address your inner issues before outer pressure builds. Your uncontrolled actions and lack of self-mastery are the root cause of the problem here.
5. Protection Against Outer Influences
On a positive note, this Mars-Pluto square provides hardcore protection against external threats. You fiercely defend each other and the relationship.
You’ll both fight against outside influences that try to sabotage your bond. Any threat will just unite you stronger.
Each crisis presents a new opportunity to shed your defensive layers and rediscover the love. In time, mutual understanding replaces fantastical projection, and your wounds turn into wisdom. This relationship is a transformative journey, not just a destination.
In the end, you learn that it’s about you two against the problem, not you two against each other.
