I mean this specifically for when they are transiting the 1st, 4th,7th or 10th.Scorpio is exalted when in Uranus and Uranus is in the house of exalted status when in the 8th. This means that Uranus has particular potency here-outside of its 11th house/Aquarius placement.
To me, the two can be very difficult to differentiate as both can denote sudden and unequivocal change etc.
I have noticed that with Uranus, its often very necessary and imminent. Its an adjustment that one must quickly accept and just "go along" with. Even when inconvenient or ill-timed. But so can it be with Pluto.
Uranus in Aqua formed an opposition aspect with the solar Arc Moon(natal ruler of 4th) in Leo when we moved homes. I didn't have a say. It was not my decision to make but it didn't stop the event from affecting my life irrevocably.
For me post the move, it was an incredible life perspective change. Completely turned my world upside-down from what I had grown accustomed to.
And now to my question(finally) ; I was watching "Lord of the Rings:The fellowship of the ring" and I was wondering about the possible transits for Frodo Baggins(the one whose fate grows most inextricably combined with the ring).
Would we say that the moment Gandalf sends him and Samwise Gamgee off to steer the Black Riders/ Saruman and Sauron from finding the ring etc. would we(hypothetically) be dealing with a Uranus or a Pluto transit in his chart?
My guess is that it is more Uranus than Pluto.In that Uranus would affect his Ic (hypothetically) because the planet disrupts ones way of life and in this case, plunged Frodo into a world that his naive self was ill-prepared for. And yet had to learn to instantly navigate.
Add to that, there is a point where he brings the ring to the Elves only to find that the ring cannot stay with the Elves either. This is Uranus(surprise and inconvenience) as he didn't expect to continue with the journey after that and had to abandon expectations of returning home.
But then again, when I consider how he is forever changed by the journey (Pluto) .That it deepens his understanding of the world outside the Shire (Middle Earth).That he is met by both benevolent (Elves /Dwarves and mortal men) as well as malevolent (Orcs /Saruman /Black riders) forces, I think that perhaps it is Pluto? I mean there are so many close brushes with death.
Pluto transits also split the world into a clear "good" vs "evil" etc. Allies and adversaries are not to be taken lightly as they are very powerful.And sometimes the two are indistinguishable-which means that one must be on their guard(Pluto).
Add to that, for Frodo its an experience that makes it improbable that he would easily go back to his old way of life and live like he once did in his quiet village (The Shire). Pluto does that too-erases the "comfort" of the past.
What do yoy guys think? Is it Pluto? or is it Uranus? And can you make a case for your choice?
