There's an important point to make about Pluto and its process:

The hard transits do not bring you anything. You have to dig deeper into your inner strength — and create the outcome you want. That means no longer focusing on all the suffering or difficulties, but focusing instead on what kinds of outcomes you want in your life — and on your resolve to have them.

It is a test of whether you will decide to draw on your deeper power. Stay focused on suffering and you won't do that.

Pluto's transits in your chart to natal Mercury (by parallel) and to natal Uranus (by conjunction) are pointing to the need for changes in ways of thinking. So look for how you can shift your state of mind, and deepen your perspective on life and what is happening.

The positive, uplifting thing is actually what you already know: that you are stronger and greater than any transient circumstances and nothing that you suffer or that happens to you is in any way a negative commentary on who you are or on your worth.

So activate those deeper energies and let the Universe know what kind of life outcomes you want. Start general and basic: if you want peace just say that instead of trying to set a list of specific conditions that represent peace according to your current view of things. Let the Universe fill in the details and surprise you.

Before, you lived in blissful ignorance and could spend your time, energy and money on making your interior nice or going on holidays. Stuff that brings instant gratification and looks good to other people. But dealing with a bad foundation costs a lot of money and no one even notices, it’s very much an internal process, even though it’s essential because without a foundation you can’t build anything.

You’ll have to make difficult decisions and it will be painful for a while, but it was necessary. And you will grow stronger and tougher through it. It’s an intimidating situation at first, but if you lived through it you know you can handle it and that you are a better person for it. You gain life experience and wisdom.

I am used to Pluto, and Saturn, and have lived suffering, rebirth and hard lessons all my life. Most of it comes from my own bad choices and values. I’ve had tPluto on my Cap Moon for a long while and also opposite my Cancer Sun, Mercury, Venus and very soon Leo Saturn. Now, I’m a sucker for bettering myself and I also compete with myself so learning lessons, change and rebirth is amusing. I am also a problem solver so what better way to learn and solve problems than having Pluto hovering?

I do understand the pain this can bring but you should always (!) look deep within and be brutally honest with yourself and ask the questions: where is the positive in this? What can I learn? How can I make it better? It might not be attainable right now, or even tomorrow but no things easy to get are here to stay. I have found that many of us tend to blame the outside for our miseries when all in all, it’s our own fault. I’m not talking about sudden illnesses or death, although, even in those circumstances, we can ask ourselves above questions. It also helps to never compare yourself to someone else. It might be easy if they have more money, better looking (according to you), better job, more luck etc etc. Your only job is to be a good human and the very best version of yourself! No one else matters.

Another one. This hit the nail on the head. I really had no words to describe my Pluto square moon experience or at least the RIGHT words.. until now. The metaphor about the house and rotting foundation.. amazing. I was trying to describe it like a cluttered room that keeps getting dirty lol, but i like yours way better. It touches on the eureka moment which i think every Pluto transit offers.. in one way or another. At some point we have to connect the dots and realize the foundation is rotting. That's one of the first steps to a Pluto a transit. The change comes after that key moment.

I had absolutely nothing positive to say about Mr. Pluto up until recently..

Like previous users have already touched on.. Pluto transits give you personal power you probably never knew you had. It hardens and toughens whatever area of life is affected if you survive it (some don't unfortunately). That personal "power" might look totally different than what you originally had in mind too. Transformation is fickle like that.

I thought strength meant sticking with an abusive relationship until I went through Transit Pluto square my moon. Now strength to me is just following your heart and your instincts, even if it means ending some relationships. Pluto is going to rip you from your comfort spot, beat you to a pulp.. then sit you down and ask you what you learned. Your EGO will feel attacked.

When we do we come from a place of acceptance, neutrality, surrender - then Pluto transits run smoother.

Anyways, my question is, have you ever experienced regeneration or something extremely POSITIVE that does not involve suffering during a Pluto transit or at least, towards the end of a Pluto transit? The next 7 months or so is the last time transit Pluto will be exactly conjunct my IC, so I am really, really, REALLY hoping there will a more uplifting rebirth or something majorly positive that will happen because I suffered so much over the last 4 years I don’t think I can take more!

❤❤❤. Sorry. I can only imagine.

In my case, I experienced Pluto opposition on Moon and Ic simultaneously (since natal Moon is conjunct Ic in my chart). And it was increased despondency towards all the things that I thought of as intimately connected to me(Moon). As well as the sense of "home".

If ever there was a time that I would have abandoned home/left the country, it would have been then. I didn't feel any love whatsoever anymore for my home or place of birth. And that was actually a defensive response towards my home /country having no love for me.

I couldn't find work, I felt the government was going to the dogs, my family was increasingly distant from me and friends were also cold. In many ways I felt ignored and uncared for. The worst place to be at for a Cancer Moon.

My sister confirmed the effect of Plu opposition on the Moon by going through similar when Pluto hit her Moon last year 2022. As her relationship with Mom reached a tumultuous peak, she found she had to redefine what "home" for her is. And then in the process, find her own place of belonging outside of the familiar space she knew.

Pluto on Moon can be the metaphoric or literal "death" of the Mother. Somehow the relationship changes and you do realise that you two REALLY are separate people. And that their love for you may be conditional ☝🏿. The latter is particularly painful to realize.

After this transit did it's thing, I can't say what the positives have been tbh. I am still waiting. Sometimes unearthing of secrets may occur(as it did with me). And one can find themselves going from feeling familiar with their environment and surroundings in one day, then totally unfamiliar the next.

That sounds like a difficult time, Aries23Degrees. A hug for you and everyone else who needs one. ❤️

Pluto destroys lies and illusions and can become difficult if you are fighting in favor of something that has no future, or are fighting to keep things that are weak, insubstantial, or are not meant to be part of your life. Things need to change or evolve.

It's just a fact of life that we cannot grow without pain or struggle. Lack of struggle causes both entropy and atrophy.

(example: this is also why some of the most spiritually immature people tend to cause chaos and suffering, because it's their soul wishing to grow. this is an explanation for why many people incarnated on earth aswell)

You can't always control what happens, but you can control how you react.

If you lose something or go through a big change, so long as you accept it, let it go, and have faith that everything will work out, the sooner it does work out in your favor.

Beyond the suffering, one of the things that makes it worse is a lack of faith in ones self and ability to bounce back and fully recover, and lack of faith in the universe or higher powers.

Have faith, keep on keeping on and it'll get better, and so will you.

GREAT description, Pluto.

A rotting foundation is definitely how I would describe the feeling. The moment you realize is probably the worst. Depressing is an understatement. Truly eye-opening.. and motivating once you get past the devastation of it all lol.
