I was wondering about declination transits. Have you felt like you experienced anything significant that fit with your declination transits. In other words, do you think that that they actually work. I know that the Magi Astrologers are strong believers in the validity of declination transits for they are strong believers of declinations period.

As for me, I believe that declinations are valid, but I am not certain about declination transits. I also don't know what orbs to use. My instincts tell me that 1 degree orb for a declination transit is a bit wide. I have considered using a half a degree orb for declination transit. That is for applying transits only.

Currently transiting Pluto is paralleling my Venus with Venus with 27 minutes of arc now, and that is supposed to be like having transiting Pluto conjunct my Venus.
Love relationships are intense at the moment. You may or may not be aware of the fact that you actually want the intensity at the time. If you are already in a relationship you may find that a crisis has sparked the intensity or it may be simply that feelings and thoughts that you have kept to yourself for a long time erupt to the surface. You may also experience a renewed sense of romance and sexuality during this transit. If you are not in a relationship a new and intense relationship may suddenly form. Either way it is the right time for you to look deeply at your most intimate relationships and your skills in relationships with the view to transformation any of the negative patterns into positive aspects for growth. In other words you are learning about the process of love - how to love yourself and how to love others with a deep level of honesty and integrity. It is also possible that during this time you will undertake a creative project that demands intensity.

Transiting Pluto is also conjunct my Venus/Node midpoint with 44 minutes of arc right now

the last time that I had transiting Pluto exactly conjunct my Venus/Node midpoint was on April 2nd of this year. Transiting Pluto stationed and was exactly on the Venus/Node midpoint and squaring my Pluto in Libra in 1st.I have Pluto square Venus/Node midpoint with 17 minutes of arc. My exgirlfriend broke up with me on that day. Transiting Retrograde Saturn in 2'28 Virgo was conjunct my Venus/Midheaven midpoint in 1'30 Virgo and square my 7th house ruler Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius. As you see, transiting Saturn was making an aspect to my Neptune square Venus/Midheaven midpoint. This would indicate pretty much bad stuff in regards to love and relationships.that. Transiting Juno was squaring my Pluto with 1'51 orb. Transiting Ceres square my Moon with 1'39 orb and opposing my Neptune with 16 minutes of arc for a t-square transit indicates the breakup in connection to her mother not wanting her to be with men.

any ways...I am not having Saturn transits like that during this current transiting Pluto conjunct Venus/Node midpoint. Therefore,it's possible that a negative event might not happen with transiting Pluto conjuncting my Venus/Node midpoint.

I am definitely wondering if transiting Pluto parallel my Venus will actually work. If an event that fits Venus-Pluto symbolism does occur, could it just be transiting Pluto conjunct my Venus/Node midpoint? Maybe transiting Pluto paralleling my Venus and conjuncting my Venus/Node midpoint at the same time indicates a possible event with a strong Venus-Pluto theme.

any ways..I just wanted to get your opinions about declination transits..especially involving Pluto. I want to know if you think that they actually work. Also...if you had a declination transit, did you have a similar transit in the regular chart at the same time. Just trying to weed out what works and what doesn't work.

Transiting Neptune is contraparallel my Pluto with 28 minutes of arc. That is supposed to be like having transiting Neptune oppose my Pluto.
interpretations for it:
You are being challenged to shift your focus of power from external sources such as money and position in society to a deep sense of personal and spiritual strength in the centre of your being. The trouble is that life is fraught with upheaval as you are challenged to set aside your personal attachments and desires. You may feel vulnerable and anything but powerful during the process, but hang on because you will feel like a new person by the end. You may also like to consider some form of psychotherapy during this transit.

so I have transiting Pluto paralleling my Venus and transiting Neptune contraparalleling my Pluto for a double focus Pluto declination transit.
