Pluto Transits through the various signs, as you can see from the table below, are not equal. Depending upon the sign, Pluto may spend as little as 11 years in a sign or as much as 31. The same of course is true for the houses, if like me, you use the equal house system. Depending upon where Pluto is at your birth, it may transit 3 to 6 houses during your lifetime. If your Natal Pluto were at 0 degrees Aries for example, you would not likely live to experience your transiting Pluto square your natal Pluto at around 90 years old. However, if you were born with Pluto at 0 degrees Virgo, not only would you experience a square but a trine and maybe even an opposition. Therefore, Pluto’s transits are generational in nature. Those born in the 1800’s will undergo a different Plutonian transiting experience, than those born in the 1900’s or the 21st century. With that said, lets look at what all this means to you as an individual.
First lets look at what Pluto’s purpose is in the scheme of things. Pluto transits natal houses and planets with one thing in mind, break down old structures and replace them with a new structures. Unlike Saturn whose task it is to help you see and remove rigid behaviors and beliefs yourself , Pluto operates in two phases; in the first phase, Pluto just moves in and tears things up. But, and this is very important, in the second phase of a Pluto transit a reconstruction of self takes place and a new more healthy structure is created.
Before anyone thinks that there is something malefic about this process, it’s not that at all. This is exactly what you need in order to evolve and grow, and what’s more its inevitable. Pluto will not be denied. All that we can do is to help these changes to take place in a positive manner. The more we fight it, the harder it will be for us. One author likens Pluto’s effects to the pressure that builds up in a dormant volcano, until unless there is some way to reduce the pressure, ends up blowing the top off the mountain and creating havoc for everyone.
The house that Pluto is transiting signifies the area in your life where these major life altering changes will take place. You can no longer just patch up or bury this area of your life, what is needed now is total transformation and Pluto provides that.
The aspected planet’s energies provide the source for the changes that must take place in this area of your life.
Lets start by looking at the meaning of Pluto in the various houses and then talk a little about the aspects.
Pluto transiting the 1st house causes a revolution in many aspects of your self-image or personality. Pluto’s desire is to have us recognize the control the past and others have on all of us, and retake control of our life. If we consciously assist Pluto by facing our psycho-trash, as Bil Tierney calls it, we can revolutionize our life. If we resist facing our own history, and how today’s behaviors are shaped by it, well “Nellie bar the door”, its going to be a long rough ride.
As indicated earlier, Pluto’s transit usually involve two phases; a breakdown phase, and a rebuilding or consolidation phase. The effects of the breakdown phase of this house transit are often suppressed anger that comes out in our interaction with others. This is partly due to us starting to realize how we are being controlled and our need to reclaim control over our own destiny. We’re not about to allow anyone to try and control us now. The task that we need to focus on though isn’t others trying to control us today, that is something that we can handle. The question is, what experiences in our background has set us up to be controlled by others. When and where did we give up control of our life to others. In the second phase of this process your anger will diminish and you will start to rebuild your self-image. By the time this transit ends, you will be in control of your own destiny.
Pluto transiting your 2nd house brings transformation to your values both psychological and materialistic. During the breakdown phase of this transit, resources will become scarce, you will be forced do with less. This is not to say that you will lose everything. It really depends on how much it takes to get you to look at your attachment to things in your life and the value you place on them. In other words, its not about the resources, its about your attachment to them. Before this transit is over, your whole attitude towards property will change radically.
When Pluto transits your 3rd house, our communications and everyday conversations take on a deeper meaning. Above all else, Pluto will not allow us to be superficial in our approach but require that we dig deeper until we ferret out the real meaning of what we hear and what we say. The 3rd house is the beginning of wide psychological changes taking place within us, and a regeneration of self at the very basic level. In the first phase, our beliefs that are not based on truth will be called into question, many of which we may have held for years. We will not be able to settle for superficial answers to our questions, we will be driven to know the truth. Even those things that we believe that are true will require that we revisit them, because in many cases we have forgotten where we learned them in the first place. In phase two, we will begin to gain a new perspective of the world and how we fit into it.
Pluto transiting the 4th house tightens the focus of the quest that you have been going through while Pluto was transiting your third house. Your inner psyche, home, intimate family, and personal life become the areas open to Pluto’s probing. Problems stemming from childhood traumas that have been buried deep within your psyche will be triggered by this transit. There is nowhere that you will be able to hide from this assault. And as difficult as this may be, it is necessary for you to undergo this phase of Pluto’s transit in order to reveal these festering wounds to the light of day. Most of the measures you employed as a child to protect yourself from dealing with these wounds, are inappropriate in an adult. By bringing these out into the light of day now and dealing with them as the adult that you have become, you will be able to heal the wounds, and release all the emotional stress associated with them. It takes tremendous energy to continue to bury these things in your psyche, once released and dealt with, you will feel a rush of new energy available for living in the present.
Pluto transiting through the 5th house involves your relationships with your children and significant others and the impact that you have on the others in your life through our actions. Under this transit, others will see your behavior as self-absorbed, but in truth you are being compelled to rise from the ashes of the past and shine. The first phase involves washing out those feelings of inferiority or lack of willingness to stand out from the pack. The second phase allows us to “come out “ and show who we really are to the whole world. Talents that we have ignored throughout our life, because we felt others would disapprove, can now be given free reign. What’s more we can now start to really take great joy in our life, even to shout our joy to the treetops. There is no room for a gloomy gus under Pluto’s transit through this house.
Tension between you and your children will result if you become to controlling. One of Pluto’s unfortunate side effects is that it makes us become somewhat over bearing. This is a trait that if not handled can create difficulties between you and your children. At the same time, you shouldn’t ignore their welfare, because they nee your loving guidance. Just use the heavy handed approach a little less. In any intimate relationship, this transit indicates a very emotional and intense love affair. You must be careful to not become over-bearing in this area either. Any new relationships started under this transit may not last, but will certainly be fun. Enjoy the moment, don’t get caught up in making this a life time event. It may be, but the more you live in the moment, the better chance you will have of having this relationship when the transit is over.
Pluto transiting your 6th house has a great deal to do with your health. If you have been ignoring health problems, and we all do to some extent, Pluto transiting this house will make you come to grips with your condition as it passes through this house. In phase one, the condition will become more apparent, forcing you to seek help. In the second phase of the transit, you will have the opportunity to overcome your problems and become regenerated. This is an excellent time to start a careful physical regimen to rebuild your body. If you haven’t before, and even if you have and failed, start on a sensible diet.
This transit also creates tension in your professional life. If your job has not been satisfying to you, you will be forced to make the necessary changes during this transit. This transit may be manifested in your life by tensions between you and your bosses. Often, this transit causes job or career changes. Rest assured however, that any changes, however distressing, are for your own good, and will be viewed that way by you later when you have a better perspective of your needs.
Pluto’s transit through your 7th house will bring a new or renewed relationship that will transform your life. If you are in a close relationship already, events will force you to redefine that relationship. Tensions that may have been building up over time will erupt during this transit. If you are not in a close relationship, this is not the time to get into one with the intention to make it a life long commitment. Any relationship now will be intense and provide short term enjoyment and fulfillment, but don’t focus on long term goals. This is not to say that relationships started now won’t result in long term relationships, they may, but don’t make that the underlying criteria. Most tensions encountered during this transit are not because of the other individuals involved, but are only mirrors of your own inner psychic needs and impulses. In effect, the tensions involved reflect your inner struggles.
Pluto transiting your 8th house, its home, brings events associated with death, rebirth, and regeneration. During this transit your life may be effected by someone else’s passing, causing you to focus more on your own life’s meaning. Or there may be a loss of some resource resulting in the same inner questioning. In phase one, your well ordered life will come into confrontation with the realization that no one lives forever, or others resources can be lost. You will start to question just what your life has meant in this world. In phase two, you will start the journey of discovering more about your part in the whole of life. Whichever event causes you to reevaluate your life in terms of what you have accomplished or contributed, this transit will result in your regeneration.
Pluto transiting your 9th house is a maturing time for you. Your view of the world will be radically changed during this transit. Worldviews that you have held up till now will be challenged, and if based on prejudice or misinformation will be discarded. The more you learn during this transit, the easier your transits through your upcoming houses. During this transit beliefs that have been handed down to you, will be called into question and you will start to develop your own worldviews. Much of your learning during this transit will occur due to your experiences, not through your studies. Only when beliefs conflict with personal experiences will most people start questing the truth of their beliefs. Such experiences will be profound in nature. Just remember that your experiences are intended to help you grow, not to provide ideas to shove down others throats. Others are most likely not where you are now in your growth, allow them to grow as they need to and when they are ready.
Pluto transiting your 10th house - during this transit, you will make your mark upon the world. But you must be prepared to do so, if you are to have any positive effect. You must be secure in who you are, and truly understand your goals and your place in the larger whole. Depending upon when this transit occurs, at the start of life, middle life, or towards the end of life, your effect will vary, because you have undergone previous house transits. Even if you are young, this house transit will provide you with a clearer perspective on who you are and what you should be about. If you have gotten off track, this transit will bring you back on course and head you in the right direction. Just remember, whatever happens, is happing for your better good.
Pluto transiting your 11th house – during this transit your life goals may undergo changes brought about by interactions with others. Experiences with new and different types of people will open your eyes to a different world and provide you new insights into your self and your place in the world. What you want and need from friendship will be different now. You will seek others during this transit that can provide you new and unique experiences. One friendship will have a tremendous effect on you now, changing your life for the better. This person may become either a teacher or an intimate stimulus for you, helping you redefine your values and goals.
Pluto transiting your 12th house – The effects of this transit are primarily psychological, causing you to deal with hidden and buried aspects of yourself in order to clean out the garbage that you have accumulated over the last several years. You will be forced to confront many unconscious concepts, particularly those that label things bad or good. Most of these concepts come from social training supplied by our parents and family as well as religious training in our childhood. Such concepts effect us in our very day interactions with others, usually negatively. Cleaning these out, and replacing them with more enlighten and adult concepts will prepare us to move into our next cycle of growth as Pluto transits our 1st house. The more garbage that you confront and clean out now, the more positive the result of the following transits.
Aspects of Pluto generally have the following effects:
Squares cause adjustments in the way that the two planet’s energies are being expressed in the associated house. By adjustment, I mean that Pluto’s energies are already working in the area of the house location, but will now change the way they are working, coloring the new method with the energy of the second aspected planet.
Conjunctions generally mark the end of energy being applied in a particular way, and a new beginning or approach in dealing with the house’s life areas, colored by the aspected planet.
Oppositions or similar to conjunctions, in that they relate to major shifts in the way Pluto’s energy is being applied. In an opposition however, the shift takes place because of a sudden awareness of the need for a change of direction.
Sextiles and Trines tend blend Pluto’s energy with the aspected plant’s energy in a positive way. In other words, Pluto’s powerful drive may be soften by the aspecting planets energy giving any overall more subtle energy.
