Pluto Transits

[StarchaserNancy]

I've been having tr Saturn opp. natal Pluto (and squaring Sun) along w/ some other hard ones, too. Quicker than when Pluto conj Saturn is all I can say as a positive. Teaches you survival skills and endurance, how to just keep going even when you think you can't. Even getting "nowhere" is an accomplishment w/ hard Sat/Pluto aspects. At least one is still standing.

@StarchaserNancy,

Oh yeah, 'survival,' is one word I would describe as Saturn or Pluto transits, and Saturn and Pluto transits, together.
Not exactly 'soft,' or 'marshmallow' planets, they teach you how to be tougher. I could use a break from them, though.

Most intense Pluto transits I have heard from people.
-Pluto to the Sun
-Pluto to the Moon

Just been through pluto in 6th house. I can't find adequate words for hiw difficult it's been and still is. It's going to be in my 8th house where my moon is in aquarius for the next 20 years and i'm dreading it. I don't know how many times i've heard astrologers say life shouldn't be constant struggle and we weren't put on this planet to suffer... Tell that to the universe. The laat pluto transit felt neverending and i've not solved any of the problems it brought up, not for want of trying. I want a break, i want relief, i want to move on with my life instead of having all these constant restrictions and limitations. But i don't think i'm going to get that with pluto in the 8th.

When Pluto transited conjunction my natal Saturn, there were other positive transits going on, but I experienced it as the breaking down of limitations and hindrances. I felt freed, like my eyes were opened. My attitude was completely transformed.

 

[FraterAC]

idk if i am experiencing placebo but i am feeling weirdly good and free after pluto left capricorn. feels like my anxiety has gone down by 95% also i feel normal and sane for the first time in years lol

Do you follow your progressions? Is it possible some progressed aspect is separating?
In any event, it goes to show these influences are all temporary.

 

[FraterAC]

i look at them sometimes but its still hard for me to understand i just checked them and i think theres a separating moon square moon aspect which could be important

Possible other hard aspect (minor aspect from slower planet perhaps) to the Moon? Hard natal aspect to Moon?
Just guessing. Don't mean to butt in.

There's nothing more delicious than a Pluto transit.....but also sometimes painful!
For some reason, Pluto transits can drive someone to a.....straight jacket!

 

[FraterAC]

youre not butting in at all dont worry!! =) i really appreciate your help, ive been trying to figure out why i feel so different. so i just checked and theres a uranus opposite moon aspect! do you think this might explain it? the only other aspect i have to my moon right now is mars trine moon. i also have the uranus opposite moon aspect in my natal chart, so this transit might have been making it worse or i guess more potent

IMO a hard aspect from Uranus to Moon would definitely cause the "jitters" -- not to play it down, because I mean by that, high-strung, emotional sensitivity and anxiety (Jitters with a capital J). Makes perfect sense to me. Is the natal Moon/Uranus close by progression? Often people tend to ignore the secondary progressions of the slower planets, but in my experience they must be considered also, especially if they are approaching perfection (like within a few minutes of arc). This has been proven over and over.

The progressed Moon could be expected to trigger or time an intense three month period of that (Moon/Uranus), applying and separating. I would say look to the houses the Moon and Uranus are in, especially, and probably also the houses with Aquarius and Cancer on the cusps (or in which they are intercepted). Possibly affecting your home or private life, and friends, or other social groups as well.

This exchange may be slightly off the topic, but I would encourage the OP and any others on this thread to consider using Secondary (1 day=1 year) and Minor progressions (1 lunar month = 1 year) to explore their current influences. They are more potent, and longer lasting than transits.
Most current astrology software can calculate both.

i was born into a straight jacket

Cosmically speaking we all were to some extent. But we are not the jacket.
Remember Pluto is the guy who opens up the buckles.

 

[sentR89day]

i was born into a straight jacket

Astrologically, a straight jacket is probably a 12th house, or Pisces, thing! Imprisoned in a straight jacket?

 

[FraterAC]

The Rulership Book says restraints are the 12th house and Saturn.

 

[sentR89day]

you spoke impeccable truth just now fraterac.. we are are born restrained and w debts from our ancestors the life mission is to break free from the straight jacket :000

There were outer planets in Aquarius from 1995 to 2012! Did you feel any affect from their transits?

 

[FraterAC]

the life mission is to break free from the straight jacket

But to experience the beauty and wonder of creation, and our own selves, as well.
We may have some reforming to do, but this is not just a reform school.

Please know that my life has definitely NOT been a Disney movie as I say these things.

 

[sentR89day]

in 2012 i was 10 so im trying hard to remember what that was like but one thing i remember clearly is that my family life during this time was at its most volatile it was actually quite extreme sometimes

i think during this period i experienced a lot of stuff that kinda shaped me, it was my childhood of course but for me my childhood experience had a really big impact on me

It sounds like these were hard childhood transits (Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius)! I'm glad they are over now!
Perhaps Pluto in Aquarius will bring healing, or empowerment!
And oh wow, you're just as old as my niece, who is an Aquarius, herself!

Pluto has been transiting my fifth house since 2011. In the time my life has changed dramatically. Chief amongst these changes have been:
Changing from a person focussed on a very good long term relationship to becoming very social and a little egotistical and mixing with wealth who eventually ruined my relationship with envy and spite.
Reported to have looked at my best ever by long term friends

Took up a lot of exercise and began to travel extensively
Had an affair which I thought was love but certainly wasnt and was with someone much younger. Moved out of my stable relationship with the best man ever for the aforementioned affair

Bullied out of my job by a man

Lots of continued social life including with my daughter so our relationship became closer

Moved back in with my ex partner, but the relationship moved into a brief marriage and then violence at the very end (completely out of character for him)

Left the job and didn't work for four years

Completely cut off from everyone and social life for three years

Moved home six times in the past five years

Briefly became very happy with a new social circle found through an outdoor activity

Went into the first relationship in five years with what I thought was a perfect man, moved in quickly. He cheated after six months so ended up homeless for six weeks

New home, new being single again and new kind of career

Overall, phenomenal change in every aspect of my life. Some very happy high times but also some of the worst times of my life

I now have Venus trine Pluto but instead of meeting a soul mate, I'm still pining for the last relationship and becoming ostracised from the activity community I joined three years ago and where I met him. I have now stopped even guessing what will happen in my life next and just trying to live each day as it comes

Sorry that was Pluto trine Venus with Venus in 9th house Gemini natally

Swim23, What planets was Pluto transiting as it went through your 5th?

Hi Starchaser Nancy
It was Capricorn but it's now going into Aquarius as it's on the cusp. I think it squared my sun at some point, which is why I lost everything. It is now meant to be training Venus but I am not feeling it in romance, quite the opposite. M

It sounded like your Sun was being hit. Watch the houses Venus rules in your chart and its aspects, too, to know what might be occurring.
