You sound a bit like me, and we have some similar placements (including Uranus-Neptune in the 6th and moon square Uranus). Is Pluto transiting your 6th house? This description is from GrupoVenus, I've found it good to turn to every once in a while since this transit started. It is way less about 'underlying physical disease' as some sites would have you believe, and a lot more about self-criticism:"The archetypal theme in this evolutionary process consists in inducing the subject to a period of individual improvement. This need manifests itself in the form of a deep self-analysis through which the individual mentally examines and reviews their components and internal dynamics that need to be adjusted, transformed or eliminated without reservations. In this way a period of time will be lived during which the being will be the subject of intense self-criticism.
It is, then, a time of cleansing, purification and healing of the Soul and the physical body, although in the beginning, its conditions may worsen, rather than improve. A deep feeling of imperfection, impurity, inadequacy and negativity in general about oneself will be reflected in the immediate environment, so that the person comes to perceive the external conditions in a way very similar to how he perceives those within him. Of course, this projection will also work from the outside towards the individual as a counterpart.
When experiencing an internal and external criticism, along with feelings of lack, inadequacy and imperfection, it will induce in the native a series of rather profound doubts, which will be a necessary experience that will impel the native to change and adjust internal and external schemata. of their environment to give way to new ideas, thoughts, feelings and needs, all of them now manifested from the deepest part of their being.
During this process, it is common to see oneself engaged and involved in internal and external crises. The former derive from the need to eliminate preconceived ideas, attitudes, beliefs and mental schemes of all kinds. This need for change will impact the entire emotional, physical and intellectual structure of the subject, and may even undermine or threaten the feeling of security and individual stability.
Until now, the native has been maintaining certain attitudes towards his work, his physical body and his mental structure about the internal and external reality. Here we are dealing now with the mercurial aspect inherent in the Virgo Sign and the VI House. Just as the Mercurian context in Gemini required to collect a variety of data, in order to make logical connections that order empirically the physical environment, the Virgo Sign corresponds to compare and analyze said information, creating a classification system for it. The focus here is on the detailed facts and how each of them connects with the next. By making these mental connections, a global figurative image is created about the nature of reality.
It is clear that the particular facts and the information that the individual selects or focuses will condition or limit the way in which this person perceives the total configuration of reality. The selection made is influenced by the development and personal evolutionary condition, and the crisis revolves around the need to reorient the mental and emotional focus, in order to introduce new knowledge and information. The old attitudes and mental schemes about what constituted reality are going to break now and will no longer serve. A deep cleansing of mind, body and Soul will happen during this time, due to the purification of mental attitudes that have become obsolete and have become real barriers to gradual growth.
The native will then experience a deep inner doubt based on the limitations and inadequacy of such preconceived ideas, doubt that will induce him to a self-analysis that will in turn promote a whole mental examination about the needs that need to be changed or eliminated, as well as an understanding about the deficiencies of such ideas and mental schemes and of the new information, attitudes and orientations that should be found in both internal and external reality.
In effect, the past and the future come into collision now in each moment of the individual experience. The collision of both induces the crisis due to the inherent resistance of Pluto, which is going to manifest as a mental tension that at the same time will produce anxiety, nervousness and irritability, with other secondary consequences on the physiological plane.
As for the external, the individual can experience confrontations with other people who are critical of him, based on those things that they perceive as wrong in the subject. The work environment can also become conflictive, since internal desires can arise in the native to change the nature or level of their work or the orientation of it, feeling that it is not compensated for by the amount of work done. The work itself can be experienced as suffocating and limiting in the face of gradual growth. Employers and employees may be in conflict and there will be some who lose their jobs during this period as part of the indispensable karmic retribution or as a way to support the necessary changes.
The recommended strategy will be to accept external criticism and reflect on it without becoming defensive, angry, angry or bitter because of it. The point is that the external environment is like a reflection of the internal plane and these messages are necessary keys, indicating the approach that the native should adopt. Thus, this process will promote a positive and indispensable cleansing of mind, body and soul.
If the individual experiences an internal need to change jobs, it will be important to create the bases that allow a gradual transition between the past and the future. The person can secure another job before leaving the one they already have, or can get new or additional training while maintaining the existing job.
If the person experiences physical problems, a change in nutrition and eating habits may be advisable.
Since it is a cleaning period, a good option will be in large amounts of raw liquids and vegetables, fruits, cereals and yoghurts, eliminating the refined or artificial forms of sugar. Yoga, massages and hot baths will also be beneficial. Just as the old mental attitudes are being eliminated from the Souls, so it is also with the old bodily ailments that have been taken for many years. As a natural process in the course of this period, mental tension will create the mechanism that will give way to some physical ailments.
The physical problems characteristic of this stage are manifested through imbalances of genetic origin that have been latent, or problems of irritability that are now going to be intensified. There can also be ailments associated with the pancreas (production of enzymes and insulin), intestine, colon, liver, spine (loss or deficiency of the necessary fluid), nervous system and auditory sense, as well as problems associated with the thyroid chakra.
In general terms, this process represents a stage of personal improvement in the light of a self-examination of the old mental attitudes and of the schemes that need to be changed or eliminated. As a result, the individual can achieve a cleanup at all levels. Once clean and purified, the subject can emerge from here to a state of intense personal vitality, with new orientations and attitudes towards life and an important impulse to continue his life trajectory.
