Too Close for Comfort

The dynamics of this uncomfortable confrontation in Closer, relates to Scorpio, Pluto and 8th house planets. Pluto brings to the surface much darker emotions and forces us to look at the reality of how we relate. After leaving the sign of Libra with all its pleasantness, politeness and compromise, we reach a stage of intimacy in Scorpio when we want the truth no matter how dirty, sordid and ugly. Scorpio also possesses a deadly sting in its tail, and we talk about irrevocable change when describing Scorpio, so if we do or even say something vindictive just to hurt our partner, there is no way that we can ever take it back. With this in mind, we have to be careful we don’t give our relationships the kiss of death. Still, in Scorpio land you give back as good you get, for it’s the only way to survive. With Julia Roberts she has Sun in Scorpio with Venus conjunct Pluto and so some of her movies do have powerful themes around relationships.
