Quick story. I am a Cancer ascendant, 25 degrees. Which means that within a few years, I am looking "forward to" a Pluto transit to my seventh house.
However, within the last five - six years I have experienced essentially all the effects of this transit. When Pluto was at 1 degree Capricorn (December 31, 2008), a "Plutonian character" came into my life. I had just experienced the end of a relationship that I thought was significant. I was heartbroken.
I went to a New Years party at a friends house, and saw a guy there. I had met him before, but he'd been dating my friend. We had talked a little bit online after they broke up and he was clearly interested in me, but I was dating this other guy so it went no further than that.
But when I saw him at this party, he lit up when he saw me and happily said "hey!" The rest was history. That began the most intense relationship of my life.
Since then we've married. He's been abusive towards me, but we have both hurt each other incredibly. We married, moved across the country, had a baby together, and when Pluto was exactly square with my natal sun, I left him. Since then I have only encountered MORE Plutonian characters.
When I look at everything that's happened, I can clearly see it is Pluto-descendant stuff I've been dealing with ever since pluto entered Capricorn. And yet, Pluto has been right in my sixth house the whole time.
Around the same time, my sister (who is also a cancer ascendant) went through similar things. She had a very intense relationship with a guy that ended very badly and has had another bad relationship since then. Pluto ACTUALLY entered her seventh house recently, and she got married to the sweetest guy who is just perfect for her, but she is the most controlling, uptight, difficult wife to the point that she is actually mentally abusing him. Which I guess can be Pluto-descendant stuff, but I've noticed bad stuff happening TO the both of us at the hands of our partners since Pluto entered Capricorn.
When I look at Pluto entering my seventh house in a few years, I am terrified. By all the descriptions I've read of Pluto-descendant transits, it sounds like everything I've ALREADY BEEN THROUGH. I can't stand the thought of going through it all again.
Is it possible that you can start experiencing the effects of this transit when it enters just the sign of your descendant? I'm horrified at the thought of this whole hideous process starting over, especially since I will be experiencing my Saturn return in the seventh along with progressed Mars opposite Neptune at the same time.
What are your thoughts?
