I've been having a pretty intense Pluto transit over my Mars in the 8th house Capricorn. Has anyone else had transit Pluto in harsh aspect to Mars and what are your experiences?

When the conjunction came within 3 degree orb, a family member died and left me many of her heirlooms and possessions. I started a job where I was left on my own and had to take all initiative to get things done, without know what I was doing at all (thrown into the deep end of the pool). I've felt frustrated and overwhelmed and like I can't move. It look me months to deal with my inheritance, to even face it. I am living with a man whose things constantly frustrate me, his things, not my things; and we're constantly worried about money... living on borrowed money. It makes me feel trapped.

Pluto is about death, about facing fears, about letting go; 8th house is inheritance, money, resources, secrets, sex, the depths of the psyche. Capricorn: Responsibilities, the material plane, fear, authority, security.

I sat going through her things and crying the whole time, feeling like it wasn't my place to be in possession of her belongings, the spiritual effect of 'stuff' as it builds up in our lives like plaque, but I can't help but cherish it all the same, not knowing how to let go. Sound very Pluto transiting the 8th house??

Now Pluto is starting something new. I've began to get interested in cleaning up my body and focus on my physical health; something I've neglected for a long time. I've been obsessively tracking how I eat and pushing myself to work out and face my body issues, along with my 'other people's stuff' issues.

This transit still has another year to go. Maybe I'll be a new person when it's finished.

Right now, I'm reinventing myself and watching my hidden self emerge after years of trauma. I have so many other things going on.

I have the exact same aspect transit going on in my chart. Though my Mars in Capricorn is involved in a volatile T Square with Sun and Uranus.

With what has also come unearthed is that memories from my childhood are coming to the surface.....happy memories from times when I felt safe and could be myself. I started buying stuff I had in my childhood like bath oil, Noxzema, Garfield books and other things that my adoptive mom and dad had around the house. Remembering the core self that was buried under the trauma and childhood abuse.

Resurrecting the old traditions from my childhood.

Rewriting my story as I see it and becoming more at ease just being who I am. Feeling my self worth grow and standing up for myself. Discovering childhood talents I had. I took awesome pictures back when I was 10. I have picked up the camera again.
