It started off with high hopes of climbing up ladders and creating a wonderful career. So many goals I had at that time. And (granted) some high level of naivety.

During the transit, things didn't go as expect (as is the case with Pluto). My career prospects were dashed. And right now (at the edge of Pluto in Cap), I am less resolved about "changing the world" as my gullible self was years before.

As Pluto leaves this house, I don't feel "stronger". Just less invested. Less inspired and more aware of the subliminal forces that can work to chip away at your ambitions.

Stronger? No. What does that even mean? If strength means "survival", then yes. Less trusting? Yes. Less optimistic and naive? Oh definitely yes.

With Pluto Capricorn in my 8th house I became sexually active.

My Saturn return was powerful. I have Saturn Capricorn in my 9th house. I got my bachelors degree, was engaged, and ex husband and I got to do a lot of traveling. I got to go south of the boarder and have a passport for the first time.

Now that I am divorced I am putting my college degrees to use again. And making travel plans happen with out relying on a significant other. I'm on a vacation right now visiting one of my life long friends since 2013.

Also spiritual awakening...that has been getting more and more rapid since 2019.

I think tPluto in Cap entered my 5H around 2008. At the same time I had tJupiter on my Cap Moon smack in the middle of 5H. I don't want to write an entire book so I'll sum the years 2008-now in a shortened version.

Drugs, a lot (!) of alcohol, many men of the wrong kind (only because there was one in particular I REALLY liked and I knew he REALLY liked me but he was scared of messing things up so we remained friends and still are, so I screwed others to numb myself), lots of yoga/gym, accidents, mental and physical breakdown (ended up in the ER), moved back to Europe, got married, was sent into some self-search spiral only to find no answers, working more than I ever have and thus having more money than I ever have had, accepting how tremendously effed up my childhood and parents were and how that has shaped me, coming to terms with the fact that I am Pluto personified; through my natal chart and also DNA and not knowing how to master him so that I don't attract the wrong kind of people.

If you want to play hard, you have to work hard. And when you have money you have no time, when you have time you have no money...and trying to find the balance in that. I've experienced a lot of imbalance extremes in this era.

Interesting. One would think that Plu in 8th would be the "destruction of trust through intimacy" . This by way of a betrayal of someone you were very close to etc.

posted July 25, 2023 03:37 PM            

I always imagined Plu in 5th being death and destruction around kids, play or non committal sex. A sort of stalkerish situation that started as just a one night stand etc.

I have this theory that Pluto (in this lifetime) will transit the house and areas that you have long avoided or been "undecided" about.

Like for me, I can't say that I knew what I wanted to do as a career. And I can't exactly say this transit helped me define what that IS. More than it has helped me to define what that IS NOT☝🏿

And even as I go to the 11th house of "Hopes and dreams". What is that? What are my hopes and dreams? What do I deem as "happiness" or "success"?I don't know.

My anger and the pain from the divorce is coming back to me. It’s becoming clearer to me why I couldn’t continue in this relationship and that it’s important to invest in self love now.

Yes. It is.❤

Makes sense that Pluto would bring about status changes to your marriage (7th). This would affect the living situation (4th).

It just means my fear doesn't get to me as much as it used to. If I lose a job, cool. If I got kicked out of home, cool. If the guy doesn't want to commit, cool. It doesn't matter anymore to me. I feel optimistic bc I'm free. If I force myself to let promotion, friendship, marriage, buying a house happened, etc.. I would end in the wrong path. Something tells me that. It did hurt a lot when it was all gone. The pain is something I will never forget. It's like DEATH.

However, I see why. Rejection is a redirection.

But yah I worked my ass off to improve "be a better employee" "better girlfriend/future wife" "better friend" "better sister/daughter" etc, nothing comes out of it. all the hard work. Was it a waste of time? Yeah it is haha
I don't think I want to approach life and "self-improve". Exhaustion. "self-love"/surrender is my mode now. It's peaceful

"Rejection is redirection". 🤔 . I like that. It's a tattoo just waiting to happen☝🏿🙌🏿

What you said there as part of the struggle during this transit, makes complete sense. The obsession to "improve" oneself in terms of relationships(7th). That makes sense. Then the final release and letting go and having a "Regardless of what happens. All is well." attitude.Thats the strength.

I recognize this attitude with my Pluto natal in 8th. In that I have lost so much throughout my life, that "All is well".

No job? All is well. No money? All is well. No intimacy? All is well. No financial stability? All is well. Betrayal by those close? All is well. The list goes on.

I do recognize this attitude rising. But perhaps it will be clear after the retrograde? Coz for now its apathy. And that's not the same as "All is well".

So yes,some last minute lessons to learn? Probably. I will know once I have learned them. I will feel the shift 🙏🏿

Pluto opp Sun will destroy the "self concept". And this will happen via other people/relationships. Someone will have you acting Cray Cray and losing boundaries. Or THEY will.be the Cray Cray one who'll encroach on your boundaries.🙏🏿

Throughout adulthood, I've struggled. As Pluto prepares to transition houses, I'm still processing how exactly Pluto's influence on my 2nd house played out. More specifically, how does it relate to Pluto? I know I've lost a lot with it here in this house. I've lost multiple friendship circles, had multiple break-ups, lost family members, and now I've become socially withdrawn.

I don't want to interact with people. I'm busy with my own thing and know myself better than I did when the transit began. Although I've lost a lot, I feel happier and more satisfied overall. There has been a shift in what I value, because I feel dehumanized. My skill set doesn't fit what's societally acceptable so there are far less resources to help me succeed with what my natural skills are.

Vocational rehab? It only cares about teaching me to develop the skills for a societally acceptable job. No. I won't compromise my worth. If "the system" isn't going to help me, I'll find something that will and it doesn't matter if "the system" approves or not.

I will not do a job that doesn't fit with who I am. I'd rather die, but I'm stubborn enough to find my own way to success and be the exception. They always say, "You aren't the exception." Oh, please. I'll make myself the exception. My future basically depends on doing that successfully. I'm not going to be successful if I rush through things.

Capricorn rules my 3rd house. So, Pluto in Capricorn will wrap up in a different house than where it began. I also have mixed feelings about Pluto in Aquarius given the house it's transiting. On one hand, I feel more empowered by the time Pluto is done with anything, but I have to be careful.

Pluto's trine to Venus was one of the most transformative transits of my entire life. I met my twin flame, but he's only with me in spirit and I cannot possibly make up what I've experienced since the day we met.

Also, I'm not sure what to expect from Pluto in Aquarius' square to Venus, but am I going to fall in love again? I'm good now, thanks. It's hard to find love with anyone else after developing the level of connection I have with my twin flame. We continue to grow closer to this day. It's unlikely I'll ever fall in love with anyone again. However, given my past, the potential to be wrong is there.

----

Pluto transited my 1st house for most of my childhood. Pluto transited my 2nd house for most of my adulthood years so far, but things are going to become more intense with Pluto transiting my 3rd house. Pluto was mostly in the background when transiting my 2nd house. So, there were moments I forgot it was there. I'm not going to forget where Pluto is while it's in Aquarius. For better or worse, Pluto in Aquarius will be more difficult for me and it's not even the squares I have to worry about.

Additionally, I used to think I was weak, but I can't say that anymore. While I no longer feel like I can "change the world," my resolve to succeed as a writer has only strengthened. I'm fueled by anger and spite that won't die. It feels infinite and like I can't burn through the anger that's present. The few times I did accomplish that, I didn't feel like doing anything at all and the anger only came back more powerful than ever.

I cannot control that I experience these emotions, but I can control what I do when fueled by them. So, as you can imagine, I've accomplished a lot. I feel more productive and less controlled by the need for instant gratification. When I procrastinate, it's still less often than I used to. My priorities are at least partially better sorted.

----

I'm driven to believe in what keeps me alive, not the lies intended to weaken my spirit. I'm driven to do what makes me happy, not work enslaved as a prisoner. "The system" cannot make me change. I can only be who I am. Think I can compromise that just to stay alive? The streets would welcome me.

No one can see what gives me strength. It's hidden from everyone but me. I only hope that I can find success before it's too late.

Even if what I believe holds no weight in the face of reality, as long as I'm still alive and happy, that's all the function my beliefs need.
