I am not having a spectacular time with the current transit of Pluto on my Mars- hence the post.

Most of my life has been a back/forth with self assertion. So this is nothing new.

But what I am finding with this transit is an increasing obsession to "right a wrong" or dish out justice etc.

I have met numerous people before who have taken the aggressive route when I have been friendly. Those I have avoided.

But in this transit it seems that they(rowdy people)/situations are drawn to me more now than ever before.

And no matter how much I try to avoid a situation/person where I see that an undesirable outcome is likely. It ends up hitting me square in the face.

The result is that I have had to push back i.e assert the same force with which I was met (if my diplomatic skills are not working).

I do not do it aggressively- as that never works. But with assertion. And at times it is empowering and at other times, it feels "unnatural" and even painful;as if a dormant angry person is surfacing and will not go without being heard.

I don't know how Mars in Aries does it? Maybe its second nature to them?

My Mars is in the 6th conjunct the Dsc, so it is happening at work- specifically with my superior.

It is not my superior per se who is to blame, but I guess it is my relationship with him that is stirring all this up.

I think that if it was not him, it would be another person. So that is how I came to the conclusion that he is not the cause, but the symptom of something deep within me.

My partner is experiencing the same transit, only his Mars is in the 7th, and I'm trying to see if I can relate to the same timeline. I have found him to be a little more assertive and snappy lately.

I feel like I'm exploding,that's it.lol
I feel pain and rage and feels like my is shattered.

I feel empty but getting stronger somehow and trying to fill the void with much love for myself UNSTEADY is a good word to define my current state.Is the word that comes to my mind when think about Tpluto/mars.

Don't ask me why but obsession always comes to me with saturn transits.I did feel obsessed with money (2th house ruler) babies (5th house ruler)...

I edited my post 5 times hahaha thanks Randall for fixing the edit button.

Pluto is also making its way to my 10th house. But before it gets there, it has to deal with Moon and Mars.

This struggle started waaay back. But as I said, its become more intensified. I cannot hide/avoid it anymore. If I am upset, I must say it. No matter what may happen thereafter, it must be known where I stand with regards to that issue etc.

Its very hard to stop from exploding or at-least simmering to a point of implosion.

I think the key here is to address the underlying issue as honestly as one can. Speak with an open heart and let it be known what it is that is coming within.

Just the other day I had a talk with my boss. In between that conversation, I found myself shaking,nervous etc. but still wanting to put words into what I am feeling.

The conversation was intense as I laid out how I felt about his managerial style and what it meant when relating to me. And how I intend on leaving the job come the end of the month etc.

He appreciated my honesty and was stirred by it too. Am not sure if it will change his approach in future. But it sure was very uncomfortable for him.

That is the power of Pluto in conversations: It changes both the speaker and the listener.
Really exciting transit at times. But at other times, it can be downright terrifying.

I feel that Pluto is like cleaning out your draining system and unblocking all the clogs. Even sewers are represented by this planet IMO.

In the above instances, the cleaning process is necessary. It must be done. But in order for it to be effective, one must dig deep and deeper still. No stone left unturned.

When Pluto goes retro, it will hit my Moon and I do suspect tremendous domestic changes are afoot already.
