First, purge 'frightening' from all thoughts on this transit and look at it in terms of purpose, with the transit(s) being a window of opportunity.I went through this transit several years ago as I was moving to Oregon (from TX) and settling into a new life here. IF you are willing to enact what you have learned so far in life to initiate significant changes and roll with the unexpected, this transit in no way should be 'frightening.'
In fact, it was quite an exciting period for me in spite of the fact that Saturn transited conjunct my Asc during the early part of it.
Transits of Uranus in many ways = Change and our willingness to remove ourselves from our ruts in order to connect to new energies, people and (group) mindsets.
Natal Pluto = place/character of personal empowerment we have built up so far in life.
Uranus transiting this point is asking you to dramatically externalize your empowerment built up thus far into results clearly visible in your outer life. If you do not have a solid basis of empowerment within yourself in terms of resources/confidence/spirituality then you better get working on it now.
Be ready to have a change of mindset. Be ready for some plans to not go well. If your plans are along the lines of trying to keep things the same and resisting change, then you will not find this transit pleasant at all. Understand that sometimes in things we would not even plan or ask for we can find unexpected joys, and empowering, enriching experiences that we are glad we had when we look back on them.
In no way does this transit set you up to fail if your empowerment is a bit lacking to this point. Instead, if you are gentle and understanding with yourself you can learn more about how what we hold in our (un)consciousness determines what we attract. If nothing else that will be illustrated more dramatically than usual.
If you don't actively use this transit for good, it may seem like changes in the world are happening TO you, rather than for/with you. Yet that is illusion that shows you are resisting change itself, the only constant in the universe.
