Survival Tips for the Pluto Transit
- When you are feeling out of control, it is too easy to hide and to allow your life to become unmanageable. And, the only thing that you can control is yourself and your immediate environment. Pluto manifests through the physical so that being physically active and doing something is essential to regulating and releasing its energies. I find myself sitting up late at night working on correspondence and projects that my Neptune transit left in a disorganized pile.
- In taking control, clean up your environment, throw out what you do not need and take care of tasks that you have long procrastinated over. If I lay in bed, I feel the over-stimulation of Pluto and I cannot sleep. Just going out does not solve the problem or release the energy. While walking to the Mall and shopping were easy and satisfying solutions under Neptune, Pluto only triggers meaningless and compulsive spending…another step in being out of control. Having meaningful discussions, mental activity and purposeful actions seem to work the best.
- Pluto transits occur when one is about to make a great new leap forward, to leave the past behind and embrace a new beginning. This is what Pluto wants us to do— empower ourselves by letting go of the past and taking a transformative leap forward in our lives.
- Physical Activity— Exercise is a great release for Plutonian energy, although the winter weather does not provide much of an opportunity for me to get out and walk. I joined a local gym and this always makes me feel better. With Pluto, there is a lot of intense energy and intense physical activity (very long walks) worked very well for me.
- In this “out-of-control” mode, my work makes me feel out of control. Sagittarius likes hierarchies so I must organize my priorities and I cannot over-load myself. I can easily feel over-whelmed. I organize my calendar and make a list of ”What to do.” I must stick to the schedule so that I do not feel out of control. I have also discovered another key to working with Pluto— KEEP YOUR LIFE SIMPLE. Avoid all complications. Learn to say NO to everything that is not absolutely essential. Your psychological survival depends upon it!
- I have observed that the transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto affect us through hormonal imbalances. For younger woman, there are 2 herbs that restore the hormones to a normal balance. If you are having menstrual problems, it is hormonal. I take Wild Yam and Chaste Tree, one capsule of each once or twice a day. For helpful Amino Acids, read THE DIET CURE by Julia Ross.
- Anxiety, especially at night, can cause night binging and insomnia. Around 7 PM, I make a big cup of a “Extra Strength Sleepy Time” tea. There are supplements at any good vitamin store that can help with sleep, such as Melatonin.
- The adrenals are severely stressed under the Pluto transit. I experienced acute lower back pain which is always adrenal exhaustion. My suggestion now is to take ADRENALCAPS by Solaray or Natural Sources Adrenal Caps which can be obtained at most health food stores. Take 2 capsules upon arising and 2 more at 11am. This prescription was recommended by a medical doctor. Do this in waves— 3 weeks on and 1 week off.
- Having to deal with the surfacing long-repressed emotions, the fears and especially the anger, can be very difficult! Give yourself permission to feel angry!
- Some Pluto transits can compromise our immune system, leaving us vulnerable to viruses and infections. A good protection is Wild Oregano and Olive Leaf (Nature’s Way is the strongest). These anti-viral and anti-bacterial need to be taken daily and they build up in the system.
NOTE: If you are taking other medications, please talk with your pharmacist about how these herbs and supplements interact with your medications.
- Pluto can make you feel like the situation will last forever but it does not. You can easily lose your vision and hope for the future. It is essential to expand your consciousness in order to rise above the darkness. I found reading spiritual and consciousness expanding books and meditation to provide incredible relief! “The higher you go (in consciousness) the smaller things look below!”
- EMPOWERMENT— this is the most important lesson that you will learn under the Pluto transit but it does not come immediately or easily. When Pluto made its retrograde square to my Sun, I realized that I had given my power away to a powerless person who could only criticize and find fault with everything that I did; I had given my power away to negative thinking, to absorbing the criticisms of others and to the tyranny of self-recrimination!
A friend gave me the “life saving” definition of empowerment— “Empowerment is recognizing what you need to do for yourself and doing it even when others say that you are being selfish. Your first priority is to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! When a situation is bad, your first responsibility is to get yourself OUT, to remove yourself from any negative, hostile or contentious situation, whether this is a job, a relationship or an environment. You empower yourself by protecting yourself! I finally felt empowered when I developed an attitude— that I would not put up with any crap from anyone… no ifs, ands or buts! The journey from feeling over-whelmed to “not taking crap” seemed like an eternity.
Astrologer, Mary Shea, in a lecture for the Baltimore NCGR, listed some POTHOLES that we may encounter while under the influence of a Pluto transit:
1) Power struggles, control issues, complications and the rubber-band booby traps. Often, people who are out of control are the most controlling and manipulative people that we encounter. The rubber band effect was my favorite: Two people spot a rubber band. They both want it and they crab it at the same time. The theory behind “possession is 9/10ths of the law” is that whoever holds on the longest will win.
With Pluto, they are holding a rubber band and whoever releases first, zaps the other! Whoever holds on the longest, gets zapped by Pluto…and the rubber band. The guideline here is to let go before you get zapped!! Let go before something complicates your life!
2) Escalation and getting caught blind-sided. I had a friend who was experiencing Pluto squaring her Ascendant. She started to play a game, a subconscious game, to learn how much power and control she had in a relationship. Once the game got started, she soon realized that she could not win the game. She was going to lose and she was going to lose the relationship. However, a Plutonian friend in Berlin assured me that, when a Plutonian person starts to play that game, they cannot let go, they cannot stop, even if it blows up in their face. KNOW when you are about to lose through persistent hard-headedness and LET GO!
3) Black or White polarized situations. Everything under Pluto seems black or white…but there are no black or white situations. Disengage your perspective, de-personalize the situation and work on the win-win compromise.
4) Reactionary responses, emotional overload, fear and anger and can all lead to the situation becoming stuck, frozen, mentally unbalanced and unconscious. Pluto applies pressure upon our astral body via the solar plexus and this forces long repressed emotional issues and feelings to the surface. The more unaware and disconnected we are from the feelings the more they take on a life of their own, blind-siding us and catching us unaware. Rage can explode uncontrollably, we can obsess or we can become emotionally paralyzed by what we are feeling. It is essential that we talk about it with someone and to honor the feelings that we do have. They are not facts; they are feelings.
A good example was a young woman who experienced Pluto opposing her 1st House Sun. Pluto is natally found in her 5th House of creative self-expression. Indeed, during the final phase of the Pluto transit, a pregnancy was her form of personal empowerment.
Pluto does not respect age. This woman is young, beautiful and extremely sweet and thoughtful. At the time that the transit started, she dropped out of my astrology classes because she felt that she just could not cope with the emotions that were surfacing in her life. She felt vulnerable, over-whelmed and she was extremely sensitive to criticism, by everyone. The opinion of others became too important. She felt that others could see right through her, that she could not say what she wanted and she felt great uncertainty in all of her communications and personal thoughts. Her fears became a block to the truth and these fears were over-whelming.
She saw a therapist for a few months, thinking that the therapist would solve her problems, give her the answers and figure her life out for her. Soon, she realized that she was the only one who would solve her problems, not the therapist.
Self-worth was non-existent. She felt incompetent and she could no longer do her job. She was not ready to deal with new people, make job changes, and anything new was too much to handle. She vowed not to allow her fears to dominate. She threw herself in the face of her fears and this was just too much. She searched inside for something strong but she could not find it.
The healing process began when she withdrew from life in order to regain her strength and RECONSTRUCT HERSELF INTERNALLY. Pushing too hard to face everything was the worse thing that she ever did. At this time, she became pregnant, becoming confined to the bed, and this experience allowed her to withdraw, giving her time to reconstruct her inner self. Her advice was to be gentle with yourself and slowly allow your strength to return — only then do you attempt to face your fears.
NOTE for 2008 & 2009-10: In 2008, Pluto was transiting late degrees of Sagittarius. Planets transiting the late degrees of a sign always indicates an ending cycle. It is a time in our lives wherein we must draw some life situation to a conclusion.
In 2009-10, Pluto will be in the early degrees of Capricorn. This always brings something new into our lives when Pluto aspects an early degree planet. With a conjunction, square or opposition, the stress does not mean that the situation is bad but it is the stress of doing something that we have never done before. It is a totally new cycle for us!
When Pluto makes a hard aspect to your natal planet, it is attempting to redefine how you use the sign energy in which that natal planet is placed:
In my own chart, Pluto is squaring my Jupiter-Neptune in the 2nd House of Finances in the early degrees of Libra. As this aspect approached, I began teaching a Medical Curriculum for the Online Astrology College. Indeed, with the square from Pluto, this has been very stressful but I knew that this is a great opportunity for me professionally to actually learn more about medical astrology through teaching it and organizing my years of research. I was also voted as Director for the National Council for Geocosmic Research. Working at the National level is something very new for me but something that I feel I can handle. It has always been easier for me to be the Big Fish in the Little Pond. Being in the Big Pond is very stressful. When Pluto is at early degrees of Capricorn, even if it is making a difficult transit, the opportunity will not be doomed to failure because of the nature of the aspect (Conjunction-Square-Opposition). It notes the stress that one feels in starting something totally new. In new degrees, that which is totally new is favored.
PLUTO to ARIES: In the early degrees, Pluto will eventually be aspecting Eris in Aries. This is a signature that the individual is bringing forth something totally new and something that may initially shock or disrupt the thinking of others. If expressed effectively, the new ideas and concepts will be assimilated and life will completely change. Pluto in Capricorn wants us to be organized, efficient and effective. It wants us to build a supportive foundation for our plans. Aries wants action without thought to consequences. When these two perspectives collide, the individual can feel overwhelmed and out of control with the changes that are occurring. When starting something new, a good foundation and structure must be established.
PLUTO to CANCER: Cancer is often very fearful of new changes, especially if these could impact security. Great caution must be exercised in making decisions and changes that would affect one’s material, emotional and financial security. Do not take on responsibilities that would overwhelm or dis-empower. Even if an enterprise could be successful, fear and worrying about the outcome can sabotage one’s efforts. If you establish a solid, ordered “Capricornian” structure, you will be successful. Since this is an opposition transit, the individual may be reacting to events totally beyond one’s control. Always prepare with some type of safety net for one’s self if you observe this aspect looming on the horizon. If you see this opposition coming up, make sure that your investments are secure and that you have the resources on hand that can protect you during a time of transition. In President Obama’s horoscope, Pluto is opposing his Venus at 1 degree of Cancer. He is struggling to appease the fears of a nation, a nation that has lived in fear, a nation that has been manipulated by fear, since 9/11. In the US chart, Pluto will be opposing our Cancer planets. It makes a cycle wherein the government must reorganize and restructure our political and corporate structures so that they will be supportive rather than disempowering.
PLUTO to LIBRA: Libra seeks to coordinate its efforts with others. It seeks balance and cooperation with others. It works with the Big Picture, Gestalts and coordinating the parts into a successful whole. I wrote about my experience with Pluto squaring my Libra planets. With the election to the National Board of an astrological organization, I must learn to work cooperatively with others. I am accustomed to being in charge and doing everything my way. I am also coordinating the research materials for teaching. This must be done in a very professional manner as these courses are for a diploma. Stress can come when we find ourselves having to coordinate a balancing act, getting all of the parts to work as an effective whole and to see the Big Picture, even when others do not.
PLUTO to CAPRICORN: Pluto will be crossing any planets in Capricorn. This marks a cycle for a total transformation and restructuring of the House area affected and ruled by Capricorn. When structures become outmoded, they must be changed. The Corporate World will be affected by this transit and, if CEO and government ways are not changed, there will be a global rebellion in 2012-14. In the 1980s, Neptune in Capricorn dissolved old corporate structures such as Bell Atlantic telephone services. Reagan, trusting too much the integrity of corporate management, thought somehow that the rich would not hold onto their money but allow it to “trickle down.” And, trickle it did. The gulf between the rich and the poor widened and it continues to do so. Blatant deregulation allows corporations to act without any limitation. Pluto in Capricorn must clean up the mess generated by Neptune in Capricorn. Pluto in Capricorn is now affecting the rich, people who have lost millions. Pluto in Capricorn is indiscriminate. Pluto is the great leveler.

Hi Lynn, The advice you gave me about pluto inconjunct my natal sun was very helpful. I almost got involved with something that would have taxed my immune system greatly, so thank you! My paternal aunt has cancer and had pneumonia and she needed help in another state. I almost volunteered because her children werent stepping up, but after reading your advice to me about pluto
inconjunct the sun in the 11th and coming down with a severe Staph infection myself, I excused myself.
Jan 15, 08:26 PM
Dawn, the situation with your aunt and how you handled it is an excellent example of how to handle an inconjunct. When you turn away from the problems presented by the inconjunct, nothing bad happens. However, if you had taken on a problem that was not directly yours, you would have felt overwhelmed, out of control, you would have been blamed for anything that did not go well and you would have made yourself ill as a result. You made a wise decision!
Dawn, we have a lot of similiar placements in our charts. My Venus is at 29 Cancer and I have 2 Virgo on the ASC. We will be experiencing similar events with the Pluto transits. After all, it will trine your ASC this spring. If transiting your 4th House and Pluto is natally in your 12th, this will be a very empowering year for you – transforming your life through changes in your home or the place in which you work. In 2009, it will again trine the Asc and Jupiter! You willcome to terms with events from your past and feel more in control of your life.
The Pluto inconjuncts can be distractions and “brush fires” that get in the way, distracting you from empowering yourself. The inconjunct to the Sun and Mercury have the same interpretation, generally, and you must not allow yourself to be distracted by responsibilities and out-of-control situations that are not truly yours.
With Pluto 150 the late degree Sun, this marks an Ending Cycle in your life. Do not allow problems, problems not truly yours, tie you to the past and keep you from making important changes this year. Health can be affected when you are afraid to move forward into the New Cycle.
Mercury at 0 Leo is your Beginning Planet, as well as Uranus. You will begin a new cycle, something new, a new idea or learning situation. The Pluto aspect will make you feel insecure and a bit overwhelmed so DO NOT encumber yourself with distractions and problems that are not truly your own. You will have enough on your plate.
The inconjunct to Uranus is a minor influence but it often indicates that those in authority around you or the “system” in which you find yourself working is rigid and outmoded. These conservative types will NEVER change so just accept this and work around them.
About the eclipses, I do not use an eclipse on the Part of Fortune. The Lunar Eclipse lines up on your ASC-DESC axis. This will trigger changes in your relationships with others. Taking on too much will cause Jupiter to stress the liver and blood sugar levels (watch fats and sugars this year). Virgoans can make themselves ill being too helpful and wearing themselves out. I am a Virgo Sun-Asc so I know how it is — I come alive when I feel useful.
When used positively, you can engage in new studies, possibly associated with holistic health. Saturn crossing your ASC can be stressful as you adjust to a new cycle of living. Look to the natal House position of Saturn to see where the changes will originate. I always feel that I work very, very hard when Saturn is in the 1st quadrant but I gain a lot from all of this hard work.
Towards the end of Saturn’s transit in your 12th House, you may have started something that will manifest fully when it is completely in the 1st House after June 2008. Erin Sullivan has an excellent book on these Saturn transits.
I normally do not give personal readings on my website so this is a rare event but I feel that your question is one that will help others who are studying astrology and how you handled the Inconjunct from Pluto was exactly how it should be handled. Congratulations! ~ Lynn Koiner

In looking at your chart, you have a Cardinal T-Square with Jupiter in Capricorn in the 3rd House. What is key to understanding the Pluto square Pluto (0 Libra) is that it is a BEGINNING aspect. Since Pluto is your Beginning Planet natally, you tend to feel overwhelmed and out of control when starting something new. You may seek assistance from a powerful person to help you. They may find this annoying. Feeling overwhelmed is something that you always do when starting something totally new, something that you have never done before. So, in 2008-09, you will embark upon a new Mental Project (3rd House) that will feel like a “mental crisis” (Cardinal in Cadent) for you only because it is totally new and you feel unskilled with the endeavor. Eventually, you will feel more in control and it will be fine…but not so in the beginning. I have Jupiter at 1 Libra in the 2nd House so Pluto will be squaring my BEGINNING Planet as well. I know that I will be doing something that I have never done before and Jupiter has a poor sense of moderation and timing. Indeed, I have no clue as to the practical organization of my classes for the Online Astrology College. They have put me in charge of the entire Track so that, in the end, students will have a diploma in Medical Astrology. Fortunately, the college has people to help me but, so typical of an aflicted natal Jupiter, I do not know how much is required. I usually have too much to teach or show up too early because I am unsure as to how long it will take to drive.
Hope this helps. The new can take you to the Big Time so do not worry about it but be tolerant of your feelings.

Hi!
I understand you do not do personal readings so I am appealing for all of your Capricorn readers for a better understanding how this will affect us and when :)
I have just come across this Pluto in Saturn transit (you will why in just a sec, I have been busy) and personally am Sun—2Cap49, Moon—23Cap49, MC—0Cap07 with Pluto at 18 Vir28 and in my sixth house.
Now, on Jan 29, 2008 I was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with stage IIIa colon cancer.
Jul 25, 08:35 AM
This is obviously the worst of a Pluto transit but the disease of cancer is triggered by Pluto transits and it often occurs at the time of shifting energies — progressed ASC or Progressed planets or transiting outer planets changing signs.
It is very difficult to visualize your chart with just a few planetary positions. I would not concern yourself with the 3rd hit from Pluto. Many times, once you have dealt with the first two transits and made your changes, the 3rd passes easily. I have many planets in Mutable signs. By the time an transiting outer planet reaches my late degree Mars in Gemini, nothing happens.
With any Pluto transit, especially the difficult ones, the more you can empower yourself (by letting go of something that is disempowering your life) the easier the influence.
Pluto does not only rule cancer but it rules viruses. Under my Pluto transit, I contracted the Epstein-Barr Virus on an airplane flight to New Mexico (EBV is like Mono, flu-like symptoms, but it lasts for a minimum of 120 days).
As Pluto crosses your Sun in the 6th House in 2009, this is a time when you need to start some new work activity — it may be initially stressful but it can empower you in the long run.
Jul 31, 08:02 AM
When a planet is at 0-5 degrees of a sign, it is considered a Beginning Planet. This means that you will be starting something new that can be very, very stressful, especially for someone like yourself with many squares to your Sun, indicative of stressful issues with authority figures. You work better alone and without interference.
When you start something very new, it can stressful because you have not done this work before. By the time Pluto approaches your Moon, it will be trining your Virgo planets and sextiling your Pisces planets….changes will be much easier.
I see in your earlier post that you are recovering from colon cancer. I do know that Pluto transits to Beginning Planets can affect the health. It is very difficult. When I think of my friends who developed cancer (all still living!) as a Progressed or Transiting planet was changing signs, the disease forced them to make important changes in their lives.
If you are having a difficult time with the Pluto transit, I take a Transiting Pluto Essence from an astrologer in Edgewater Maryland — www.soulsign.com I was having severe depression with Pluto and I tried this essence. It takes several days to work and I do not have to take it every day but it makes me feel like “I can do it.” Nothing seems that hard — I can tell when I have not taken it for a week or more. The depression returns from feeling overwhelmed with all of the work I must do (I will be teaching an Online Curriculum in September).
I am not financially connected with this website but it just works for me. The Transiting Uranus essence makes you feel free when you would normally feel trapped.
I cannot guarantee that the essences work for everyone but they have helped me make an attitude shift. If ordering, you may not see the Transiting Essences so you must ask for them.
Good luck with your endeavors. I do know that these health issues just take a big chunk out of your life BUT you seem to be doing remarkably well under the circumstances…Lynn
Sep 18, 02:58 PM
Gemma – You do not have any Pluto transit, major or inconjunct. Neptune is 45 degrees from your Mars, a semi-square, and this can cause someone to discourage you, to talk you out of changing. You must establish boundaries for your self and say NO.
Uranus is making a favorable aspect to your Sun in the 4th House. This aspect encourages you to change the place in which you live and it favors work activities.
Your chronic fatigue is a mental reaction to being around your family. In suppressing Will, your adrenal/thyroid will not work properly. If you have low body temperature, then it is the thyroid…but blood tests may not tell you this.
I believe that you have severe food allergies because of the severe aspects to your Moon. At least, avoid the nightshade family (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers). If you can be tested, this would greatly help. If you have a gluten reaction, this can be determined by testing. These food allergies sap your energies as well.
Sep 24, 08:10 AM
I just wanted to say you are spot on about the thyroid. I have hypothyroid atm but is controlled well with medication.
Sep 28, 08:46 AM
About the hypothyroidism, always check your body temperature (although it will vary during the day) to make sure it is around 98.6. The highest mine goes is 98.4 and this is just fine. If it is still low, you are not taking enough. Do not look at the blood tests!!! Only the Hormone Saliva Test is accurate, next to body temperature.
Since the Adrenals always impact the thyroid, I take Solaray ADRENAL CAPS to support the adrenals so that they do not “pull” on the thyroid. Adrenal supplements must be taken in waves — 10 days on/5 days off. If you take them every day all the time, they stop working. Actually, any adrenal supplement will work.
Poor Assimilation and Absorption:
1. Take a good, all-inclusive digestive supplement with each meal to digest all food properly. I use Solaray Super Digestaway. It contains all of the digestive enzymes that digest all types of food – carbs, protein, fats etc. AVOID ANTI-ACIDS … people who take anti-acids are highly prone to Macular Degeneration of the Eyes due to malabsorption!
If you cannot find such a digestive supplement, hydrochloric acid is the next best thing.
If you can find Suzanne Somers, BREAKTHROUGH, this book has great information with the interview with Dr. Jonathan Wright.
2. Make sure your vitamins are highly absorbable — they will cost more but you absorb more and take them with the digestive supplement.
3. Allergy tests are expensive. The worst offender is the Nightshade family — potatoes, tomatoes, the pepper family and eggplant. These are the main ones. You can Google Nightshade for more.
4. If you need a calming supplement, I take 5-HTP … but you need more than 50-100 mgs! Dr. Oz and a local bariatric doctor (weight issues) say that 200mgs to 900 mgs are acceptable. You are small so 900mgs would be too much. I take 200-300 mgs 2 to 3 times a day. It increases Serotonin, associated with the Water element, which is deficient in your chart.
Start working with these suggestions and let me know how it goes.

Oct 16, 07:28 AM
Neptune is your beginning planet. Even though there are no transits to Neptune at 0 degrees, it is going to be hitting planets in your chart through 2010. To effect changes and bring new beginnings, Neptune seems to put a brown paper bag over your head so that you dissolve what you have outgrown and move (in a cloud of confusion) into a new direction.
Read my Neptune Transit article.
I have a manual on Beginning and Ending Planets. This is my Beginning Neptune notes:
BEGINNING NEPTUNE: These individuals often do not know how to incorporate creative imagination, psychic receptivity and even the influence of spirit guides into their life. Since they do not recognize such influences, they often begin new situations in a state of confusion. They need to learn to allow themselves to be guided by faith in a High Power when making such transitions.
They may want change and the future to be well planned out but this is NOT their lesson! Their lesson is to learn to trust, to have faith and to truly believe that there is a Higher Power or the Higher Self in their lives who has their best interest at heart, who will guide and influence if the individual will only listen and follow the directing intuition. They need to learn to “float” and to allow things to happen without knowing how it will all turn out. If they learn to follow their Inner Guidance, it will all turn out well, although maybe not exactly as they planned.
✮ One student commented that, during a new transition in her life, she simply tunes out until everything falls into place.
✮ “When I feel that I am beginning a new cycle, I feel in a void, daydreaming and floating, sensing that something is going on but I do not know what.”
In starting new cycles, the Beginning Neptune person seems confused. Others may not understand what is happening in their lives. Friends and family need to learn to exercise faith as well.
So, you can see, that this state of confusion is a signal that you are embarking upon a great personal change and you will remain confused until the change is in place. I must tell you that this one will take a long time.
You have many planets in the 7th House. With Saturn transiting there, others will not be available for you because of their own personal issues — it is not about you. You must try to focus upon YOU and not others.
Nov 22, 01:02 PM
This is from my Manual on Beginning and Ending Planets. This is helpful in understanding your Beginning Moon and how it operates.
Pluto crossing the 10th House Moon, I feel, is a good aspect for a new career position but, because it is a Beginning Planet, you will be doing something very new that will be very stressful until you feel in control of the situation. You must allow yourself this adjustment time and not worry about it. Ultimately, it will prove quite empowering.
I do not place any important upon a Jupiter transit. It can provide some assistance from friends or associations but you have to ASK for the help.
BEGINNING MOON: This Moon is indicative of an individual who is learning in this lifetime how to harness the energy of Emotions or Instincts. One’s Instincts need to be seen as an ally, a support system, assisting the individual in making assessments and evaluations. I have observed that these people “lead with their emotions.” That is, they do not act or make any changes until they are emotionally ready, until the feel right about the new situation. In such an assessment process, these instincts/emotions are indeed an ally. Once harnessed, they ultimately allow the individual to respond intuitively with confidence. But, if they do not feel secure, they withdraw.
I feel that there is much insecurity around the Beginning Moon individual, especially in their early years. They may not have felt protected in the early environment. This is what they did not receive from their parents; what they must teach and learn for themselves. Hence, they need to rely upon their own instincts and their need to “feel right” about what their instincts are telling them before they can move forward. With this type of insecurity, some individuals may experience a difficulty with or a slowness to make a commitment. They need to fully evaluate the other person or situation before they can give themselves permission to go ahead and move forward. This can evolve into spontaneous intuition!
Another important lesson is that they are learning to feel secure from within so that they will eventually learn to feel comfortable anywhere. The Beginning Moon, you see, relies heavily upon external stimuli for information that would affect their feelings – Do I feel secure? Do I feel threatened? Do I feel trusting? In some cases, I have observed a need to check out how other people feel on a matter before they themselves make a commitment. Ultimately, the individual will need to establish an internal base for feeling secure.
The Moon sign will give some clue as to the sensitivity issues. The Moon in Taurus needs material stability. One friend with this position stated that she is always very quiet in the beginning as Taurus has trouble adapting to chaos. She is more comfortable with work but not people. The Moon in Cancer needs the familiar or something with which they can emotionally identify when confronted with new situations. The Moon in Leo needs attention and respect. The Moon in Scorpio may be sensitive to the threat of attack or being out of control. A student with a Beginning Moon in Aquarius commented that she prefers the company of groups. Within a group, she can be inconspicuous until she gets a feel for the situation. If it does not feel right, she can leave without being noticed. Again, she is relying upon external stimuli rather than carrying the inner security with her. However, a man with his Beginning Moon in Aquarius stated that he never knows how he feels. He stays in an “aloof” mode until he feels secure…but he never feels secure. A woman with the Moon in Capricorn said, “I sit, I listen…and then I take over!”
These people are learning to feel internal security, to trust their instincts, so that they can act with spontaneity and confidence.

Hello Lynn,
Thank you for your website. It is very helpful. I have studied astrology for a number of years, but find it most difficult to look at my own chart objectively especially when I am feeling so overwhelmed.
Dec 1, 10:27 AM
While I do not give personal readings on my website, I can discuss the Pluto transit for this article. I never use these minor transits that you describe and the Mars Return is excellent (I have an article on this on this website). You need to calculate your Mars Return to see what House it is in. This will describe where your energies will be placed for the next 2 years.
Pluto will be opposing your Sun from the end of December 2008 through November 2009, not a specific day. Pluto will be aspecting your Cancer-Capricorn opposition for a longer period – through 2011 — so this represents a much longer cycle of change. Change that can be very empowering if you are willing to make a dramatic change.
Accompanying the Pluto aspect is a series of excellent transits — Uranus trines your Mercury-Uranus conjunction in the 3rd House, the progressed Jupiter is crossing your Mercury Natal Station and Pluto is sextile your Saturn.
When Pluto, or any outer planet, aspects a Beginning Planet (any planet from 0-5 degrees), it describes a very new situation that, because it is new, it is very stressful…but not necessarily bad.
Pluto is squaring my 2nd House Jupiter. I am starting to teach a medical cirriculum for the Online Astrology College. It involves organization and hi-tech knowledge which I find very stressful. It is a great opportunity but very stressful.
A career change is in the stars but you need to make a complete change into a totally different area.
Do watch your blood sugar during this stressful period — small protein meals throughout the day and avoid sugar until the stress is over. There is a pattern of perfectionism that affects blood sugar in your chart.
Because your 3rd House is so strong, look to writing, teaching and communications for the career shift.

CNN: I have Pluto transiting across all my angles. My AC and IC are both 1 deg. In cardinal signs ( AC 1 libra, IC 1 capr, DC 1 aries, MC 1 cancer). Basically the equinox and solstice points of the chart. Pluto will move across the IC early Jan 09.
And I’d love to hear insights on that in particular.

LYNN: I never give personal readings on this website. However, some questions are of interest to many people who read this site. In this case, I do give answers.
ANSWER: Since I do not have your chart, my answer is general but I felt that it would be of interest to my readers.
First, I would always make sure the birth time is accurate with some rectification. However, if it is off, it is usually a few minutes earlier. 0 degrees would be even more powerful.
The 0-1 degree of Cardinals is considered the World Point. When activated, one is drawn into world activities. An astrologer in Austria told me a story of a client who, when her progressed Mars entered 0 Aries, she started a job with the world bank. So, this interpretation can be very general.
The 0-1 degree of Cardinals is a Critical area in the zodiac. As Pluto has entered 0-1 degree of Capricorn, many crises are occurring around the world, even in my area near Washington DC. This area always triggers crises.
You say that Pluto is entering your 4th House. The natal House position can sometimes tell “from where the energy of change is coming.” Look to the natal position.
Pluto will stay in your 4th House for many years. During this time, it will trigger many, many events.
Pluto is at the end of my 4th House now. It entered my 4th around 1995. At this time, my aunt’s husband died. I had not been close to my dad’s family but this death triggered a very close relationship with my dad’s oldest sister. She had no children and she reached out to me. She became like a mother to me. She died in 2008 when Pluto squared my Jupiter (a co-ruler of my 8th).
I have talked with others about Pluto entering the 4th. Often, there is a crisis or a death that seems to draw the family closer together. This is especially true if Pluto is natally in the 12th House.
Pluto and other outer planets transiting the 4th bring major changes in the personal environment — this is the place in which you live, family relationships and the place in which you work. The 4th House rules our extended family so it rules the workplace. I noticed this rulership back in the 1970s.
During its long transit through my 4th House, there have been many changes in my home (which is also where I work). When Pluto opposed my Moon, my mother passed away. There are been many changes in my local community of Silver Spring MD. Big changes have occurred with new development. This town looks totally different. There is a Borders and Whole Foods within walking distance. Sometimes these changes can be a good thing…sometimes not, especially if your neighborhood became over developed.
Since the 4th House rules the workplace as well, there is can transformations here as well. When Pluto first crossed my 4th House, I made major renovations to my work area.
In the 1970s, when Uranus entered my 4th House, I changed the energies in my home so that I began teaching in my home for the first time. You mentioned that you lost you job so that there will be an obvious change in this environment — and this could eventually be a very empowering change for you.
The 4th House can bring changes such as much needed renovations – in your home or in your work place.
Pluto is more active when it aspects other planets in your natal chart. Hard aspects are not always back. When my mother passed, it was emotionally difficult but it was also a positive event that allowed me to get closer to my dad. I also found it very empowering.
Jan 3, 01:56 PM
I received an e-mail from Azela about Pluto squaring her 10th House Saturn at 1 degree Libra, while crossing her 2 degree Capricorn Mercury and sextile Jupiter at 0 Pisces in the 3rd House and the Moon at 2 Scorpio in the 11th….later it will oppose Uranus in the 7th and Eris in the 4th. So, Pluto has started to transit through her Cardinal Cross.
I have actually answered this type of question in several posts here – 5, 6 and 16 plus others about transits to BEGINNING Planets.
As I have stated, when any planet aspects a natal planet in early degrees, it describes a new situation that makes us feel anxious and, with Pluto, feeling out of control while we are in the starting phase. One must be very patient during this Beginning Phase. And, because Pluto is transiting Cardinal Planets, the situation seems to be “in crisis.”
If Pluto is crossing Mercury and squaring Saturn, these 2 planets square each other natally. So, behind this anxiety is a “fear of being dumb or stupid.” Mercury-Saturn tries very hard to avoid criticism or appearing dumb or stupid. Actually, these people are very bright but there is that fear that plagues them.
Pluto is coming from the 9th House and favoring a 3rd House Jupiter. So, there may be changes involving education, communications or some time of change in the environment. The favorable aspects portend a positive outcome but the squares indicate fear when starting out.
Azela said that she felt alone and isolated and this is typical of Pluto and, since she will be starting something new, this compounds such feelings at the beginning. There are favorable aspects that portend support from groups and friendships but she must ask!
Someone who is not tall, heavy set with dark hair and eyes has confidence that Azela lacks but this person can be very helpful and supportive. Just ask or reach out.
I never give personal readings on the website but I felt that this answer can help other astrologers to learn how to make interpretations.

Hi Lynn, You seem exceptionally knowledgeable. I’ve been trying to study astrology for over 10 years now and I’m still at a loss over so many things. For instance, Pluto will be conjuncting my 5+ degree natal Jupiter soon. Jupiter is in my first house, but Capricorn rules my second house. So is Pluto going to affect my first house or my second?
Feb 20, 10:59 AM
Toni, you asked a very good question – the House rulership of a planet close to the 2nd cusp. In my experience, I find that a planet that is 5-6 degrees from the 2nd House cusp but actually in the 1st House will rule Financial Affairs. Pluto is still at 5 degrees of Capricorn so it will indicate a Beginning event, a new situation that might be stressful but it can still be successful.

A difficult Pluto transit can overwhelm the body through stress and the immune system just cannot handle food intolerances and resist infections.
Cardinal signs rule the adrenal/thyroid system. If your body temperature is low, you need a thyroid supplement (you can do muscle testing for this on your own). A gynocologist can provide a Hormone Saliva Test, the only true test for adrenal/thyroid (blood tests are a waste of money). If you choose to work on your own, Natural Sources has a very good raw thyroid supplement. It should be taken on an empty stomach. I also recommend the adrenal supplement but these should be taken in waves — a week on and a week off.
I need to tell everyone that you should discuss this with a health practitioner.
As we get older, leaky gut is more common. Dr. John Pagano has a fantastic book on this topic — basically, avoid the Nightshade family. He has cured psoriasis with the LG protocol.
Food intolerances are shown by the Moon and difficult aspects. Your Moon has very difficult aspects. Yes, Ceres can affect food through defective nurturing in the early environment but the Moon’s aspects really tell me the whole story.
I like going to my Ceres line in Astro-Carto-Graphy as I feel as home and very nurtured there. The Chiron line is often where we can find a good doctor.
With Virgo in the chart, LG can be a problem and digestion is always a problem as we age. I suggest reading Suzanne Somers’ BREAKTHROUGH. I am now taking Sources Naturals digestive enzymes (a different company from Natural Sources) with everything I eat (1 pill only) and with my vitamins.
I have a lot of information on my Common Cures I-II-III articles on this website. I will update III now.
You also have a Mutable T-Square and this rules the respiratory system and the lympathic system. Elaine Hruska has a great book on this but google for lymphatic stimulation exercises.
Apr 6, 02:55 PM
Hi Lynn,
During its transit through Capricorn, Pluto will conjunct my natal Saturn in the 6th house (I was born 18/03/60, 2:01 pm, Montreal, Canada). Last year, debilitating migraines forced me to leave my job and I was subsequently diagnosed with lymphoma, so it’s not hard to imagine that my health and work situation will be challenged during Pluto’s transit (although it should be quite a few years before the conjunct is exact).
Since Pluto’s energies can be both destructive and empowering, can you suggest ways of dealing with Pluto transits to the 6th house and/or Pluto-Saturn conjuncts that enhance Pluto’s regenerative capacities?
Many thanks,
Deborah

DEBORAH – I know from personal experience that health problems just take your life away — until you get well.
The lymph is ruled by the Mutable signs (you have a Mutable T-Square that was hit by Saturn in 2008) and Neptune (you have a Fixed t-square with Neptune as apex). Lymph health is going to be very important, especially if some of your lymph has been removed. Lymph massage and drainage really helps this. I will post lymph information on Common Cures III later. Pluto crossing your 5th House Jupiter with the Fixed elements in your chart shows liver stress. Liver detox is helpful — liver gall bladder cleanse on Medical Forum and herbs such as Milk Thistle. You need to ask an herbalist for this information or Google (Life Extensions is a good source).
There are also food intolerances shown here. Avoid the Nightshade family and Gluten for starters. Muscle testing might help and it costs nothing.
Pluto crossing a 2 degree Jupiter and sextile Venus at 3 degrees and Pluto at 4 degrees offers an opportunity to start a new enterprise. This could involve some type of healing activity, education and working with young people.
The biggie is in 2010 when the Great Jupiter-Uranus conjunction sits on your 9th House Sun! This is very expansive in terms of travel and especially education.
Apr 7, 11:02 AM
JULIE – Pluto crossing Saturn at 2 degrees and then trining Mars and sextiling Neptune denote a new enterprise this year, something totally new, although using your current skills. The progressed Moon will cross the progressed Mars in Gemini in the progressed 3rd House around the 3rd week of April 2009 so this can bring a shift for you (possible training). The Progressed MC is also conjunct Saturn so this is an important aspect for you.
12th House people cannot be ON 24/7 and they work best behind the scenes. 12th House people are often guinea pigs — using their own experiences to help others. My own ruler is in the 12th and this is very true for me.
Your 1-7 House opposition shows an ability for counseling and mediation. The 12th rules people who are disadvantaged, covert activities and investigations and investigative work.
Saturn in the 12th and at 2 degrees indicates that you need to work with your own structuring system and establish structures for others.
I am not good at career counseling and I cannot give readings on this website. Hope this helps a bit.
A career as an astrologer will not be very profitable, sadly to say. Unless you are famous, there is not a lot of money unless you combine astrology with another career – finance, counseling etc. The astrologers who do the best are those who have columns in big magazines. But, there is one well-known astrologer who does very well who has Saturn in the 12th House.
May 30, 06:20 PM
Hi Lynn
I would like to know if you think there could be a connection between pluto opposing mars (I have mars in 3° cancer/4 th house) and the kind of problems I have experienced lately: * Back pains starting after theft of bicycle * Anxiety attacks on job * Adrenals affecting back? Astrological facts: 01/15/1961, 8.20 pm in Copenhagen.
(moon 9°, saturn 21°, jupiter 17°, sun 25° in Capricorn in the 5th house, Virgo rising 8°)
Jun 5, 09:31 AM Melessa:
BIBSI – ...You have a Kite Pattern in your chart — a Grand Water Trine but Pluto opposes Venus in Pisces. Briefly, there are many “control issues” from your childhood, many of these issues actually started just before you were born. Being an Empath (and I will publish Empath information on this website but I need to get the author’s permission first), you are extremely sensitive and vulnerable. Emotional reactions can cause difficulty in your relationships. You feel that protection comes from control…but this cannot work for long.
Mars in Cancer fears the unknown and, at 2 degrees, you are beginning something new that makes you afraid. It is not bad but it is new…and “how it will turn out” is scarey.
The good news is that Pluto is well aspected in your chart to the sign of Capricorn. This can mark a cycle for renewed creativity, once you overcome the initial fears. I have Saturn in Cancer so I know how this feels.
Yes, Cardinal signs rule the adrenal/thyroid and the stress that you feel can cause low back pain. I do not know what is available in Denmark but, in the US, 2 raw adrenal supplements can improve this within 30 minutes. Adrenal supplements must be taken in “waves” — 2 weeks taken and 2 weeks not taken.

While Pluto is transiting the 12th House, you become an observer of power, power plays and the mis-use of power all in others. It will be a “power-behind-the-scenes” transit. Then, when Pluto crosses the ASC, you become more empowered. If you are prepared for this and comfortable now with power, it will be a very empowering time for you.
One friend finally had to courage to dump her cheating, deadbeat husband after this occurred. It may not happen immediately but it will grow. She just became very strong and drew the line. She was no longer influenced by his manipulations.
Look to the natal House position of Pluto to see from where the changes will be coming.
Sometimes, any planet crossing the ASC can affect the health due to the stress of the changes that are occurring…going from disempowered to empowered…but this is not always the case. Just be good to yourself when the crossing occurs. You will feel more comfortable with Pluto after it gets into the 1st House.
Much depends upon your natal chart but this is just a quick and easy answer.

Hello Lynne and viewers. This is my first time seeing this site. I came across it as I was desperately searching the internet looking for help, relief, and some light in the often darkness of my own Pluto transits.
I feel compelled to post a comment of appreciation for having found this site. I found comfort and validation from reading your article and others’ comments on their Pluto experiences. I don’t feel so “crazy” and alone now.
Many of what others here are experiencing are so much like my own experiences. Difficulty sleeping, depression, overwhelment, lack of energy and motivation, pessimism, and recently diagnosed hypothyroidism. And it all feels like it will never end.
Transiting Pluto is conjunct my Jupiter (9th house), squaring my Pluto (6th house), and squaring my Venus (12th house). Its been back and forth with these about 3-4 times so far. Reading your tips have given me some good ideas to try and help myself through this very trying time.
Thank you for having this site

KAMELIA: Pluto square Pluto, even in the early degrees, describes a cycle for letting go of all that we have outgrown and no longer need in our lives. People often start this cycle by throwing out stuff and things, cleaning out our closets, our inner space.
Afflictions to Cardinals in Cadent Houses causes the individual to have a lot of “mental crises” — not a breakdown but thinking about and thinking about but not really taking any action. Cadent signs cause us to think but there is little inclination to act. It is important to organize a plan and then take action. Otherwise, these Crises in one’s thinking stress the adrenals and then the thyroid. In early degrees, they are trying to compel the individual to start something new.
Dec 3, 06:43 AM
Francesca – Pluto, esp. aspecting planets in early degrees, is extremely stressful and stress affects the immune system and the health in general.
Joint pains are inflammations. Anti-inflammatory supplements (you can find these in Common Cures I-II-III-IV but start with CC IV first and go backwards) are essential. More essential is an antiflammatory diet. Identify food allergies as these are definite culperits. In Europe, the test is ImuPro300 for Food Intolerances.
Avoid sugar and the Nightshare family (tomaotes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant). There may be others but only testing can tell you for sure. It takes at least 2 weeks to notices any improvement.
Eat an alkaline diet. When the body is more acidic, it pulls water that lubricates the joints into the blood to alkalize it. It is helpful to just eat alkaline foods (Google for this).
Delores – You need to read my posts about Pluto aspecting planets in early degrees. I do not want to keep repeating this but, aspecting your own planets in early degrees, Pluto causes much stress with new situations that make you feel overwhelmed.
Fear is natural (and very unwelcomed) with the Moon in Cancer in early degrees. You need to be patient with yourself as these changes portent new situations. An early degree Moon needs time to feel connected and cultivate a new sense of family in the new situation.
Neptune has been opposing your Leo planets so that disappointment takes you away from a bad situation. Read my Neptune article.

It is difficult to give a generic interpretation of Pluto transiting over Chiron. It is important to look at everything that is going on in the chart but, generally speaking, Pluto (or any outer planet) aspecting Chiron marks a time when we need to follow our heart in making some decision. Others may not always understand the decision but Inner Guidance should be followed.
One woman decided to sell her successful business so that she could spend a year with her daughter who had just graduated from college. She would never have this opportunity to travel with her daughter again.
I made a decision to end some friendships. I was very confused but my intuition said, Let them go! I never regretted this.
Feb 24, 10:28 AM
Hello Lynn,
I find your opinion on “beginning planets” in natal very interesting and I want to ask you about this on a behalf of a friend of mine: he has natal venus in 3 degrees Capricorn. His Venus currently is through 2 tough transits – Saturn squaring it and Pluto conjunct it. He has marital problems for a long time and he even considered a divorce. And on top of this he met a girl and as far as I know he has strong feelings for her although nothing really happened there.
I would love your comment on this cus I didn’t see comments on beginning Venus in natal
Mar 3, 05:32 PM
I have a manual on Beginning and Ending Planets. This is an exerpt that may help.
BEGINNING VENUS: When I think of the Beginning Venus, the phase, “Born yesterday,” comes to mind. If there is one common trait with Beginning Venus individuals it is that they are very naive in relationships. The lesson for this Venus is to learn the difference between Friend and Friendly. They are not the same! Just because someone acts friendly, it does not mean that they are your friend. They need to learn responsibility in relating, social skills and to acquire an accurate definition of love.
There is an inclination toward inappropriate behavior in relating and a tendency to blunder into relationships with people with whom the individual has no real connection – yet they believe that there is a connection! In relationships, they need to learn to analyze what people are really saying to them. When they do not, which is generally the case, they do not know what is really going on, what the other person is really saying and then they interpret love when it does not exist. This is a very common pattern. They need to ask close friends or family members to help them make evaluations of any new relationship – is it true love or just someone acting nice to them.
Apr 2, 11:45 PM
i like your site a lot, lynn, and thank you for your illuminating replies. maybe you can help me understand something. pluto is transiting my 12th house, where jupiter is located natally, and saturn is transiting my 8th house, where pluto is located natally. (6/10/72 – 8:56 pm – manila, philippines)
you wrote earlier to look for where pluto is in the natal chart to see where the change will be coming from during a pluto transit. how does that work when a heavy hitter like saturn transits one’s natal pluto at the same time as the pluto transit?
due to financial, relationship, and housing stress, i’m experiencing profound depression for the first time in my life and am combating it with everything i can: talk therapy, flower essences, antidepressants, sleeping pills, supplements, spiritual healers, crystals, feng shui, affirmations…you name it. some of it is helping, but for the most part i still feel terrible on a deep level. physically, i can’t sleep without the pills, have broken out, and have neck and shoulder pain all the time. is there a remedy i’m overlooking?
Apr 3, 08:58 AM
CLEMENTINE: Since I receive 1500 hits each day, I do not give personal readings on this website because this is impossible. I do answer questions about my articles.
However, I will tell you that Saturn will be crossing your Pluto from April through July and, at 29 degrees, this is an ENDING Cycle (for everyone actually). This is a time to finish up the problems of the past and move into the new cycle this autumn when Saturn enters your 9th House, a time for education and training in preparation for the 10th House cycle.
Pluto on Jupiter in the 12th favors work in a humanitarian area and it favors last-minute help that comes to you.
There could also be a health issue around a family member.
I will begin to delete a lot of posts this weekend so this will not remain posted. I have to do this as these lists get too long…Lynn
Apr 8, 01:13 PM
Lynn,
I was hoping to get some insight. I was born just previous to the great conjunction in Aquarius in 1962. As such I have a pretty intense stellium (thus the name of my company) in Capricorn with the following set-up.
Venus 4 Cap, Mars 6 Cap, Sun 10 Cap, Mercury 20 Cap, Saturn 29 Cap, Jupiter 10 Aq. The last two are widely conjunct, but with the faster-moving planets progressing into Aq, I will eventually have quite a pile-up. (2nd – 3rd house)
Just a quick sidebar, it’s funny how two Capricorns who have redefined their sports are being asked to transform themselves in order to continue on their chosen paths. Michael Schumacher has left retirement and returned to Formula 1 and Tiger Woods has been forced to transcend his basic urges and find a new higher plane in the world of Golf.
In my chart, I have 28 Scorpio rising with Moon at 6 Scorpio, (11th) and Neptune at 12 Scorpio (12th). That places the stellium mainly in the second house with Jupiter just over the cusp in the 3rd.
I find that the transformation that Pluto brings will be complete. I understand that you are probably very taxed by requests. In my case I understand that the way I’ll earn a living and my position in society will be affected.
If you had aditional perspective to share, I would greatly appreciate it. My health is good, so far. I have lived a life where I seem to be “ahead of the curve” in many areas. Yet issues with job, carrer and income always seems to be nearby.
Thanks for the time that you shared and keep the great information coming

Hi Lynn,
What a wonderful website you have!! Amazingly helpful in the difficult period I am going through and in my first steps as a student of astrology. I am in the midst of my Saturn Return and have been “plagued” with a Pluto square Sun since December. I would love some additional insight on how to survive these two major aspects in my life without losing my sanity! I was born March 25, 1982 @ 2:05pm in Hull, Quebec. I am really hoping the Uranus in Aries will be a positive influence to help me move forward me in any way….
Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!!! Looking forward to your feedback!
Jun 9, 06:24 PM
Hi Lynn,
Your site is very helpful and informative and I have learned a lot from just reading the posts so far. Right now I am trying to survive my second saturn return which coincides with Pluto exiting the 12th and conjuncting Mars. In my progressed chart, Pluto is at the beginning of Leo in the 6th house opposing a Mars/Moon conjunction in Aquarius. My health has gone from good and vibrant in the last 3 years to rotten now. Am I doomed to many years of poor health by Pluto in the 6th with that opposition? I am already struggling with depression, but this chart makes me want to give up. Within just the past year, I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s (hypothyroid), fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and have had carpal and cubital tunnel surgeries. Now the docs say I need both hips replaced (Moon in Sag) and my spine is degenerating. How can a body fall apart so fast? With Alzheimers on both sides of the family, I am frantic now. Do some transits just predispose rapid decline of the physical body? Is there anything that can be done to counteract it? I take loads of supplements…

Hello, I am an Aries ( born on 29/3/1964, 5.30 am, Athens, Greece) under a period of transiting Pluto- conjunct natal ceres in Capricorn in 10th house, square an Aries Sun , now conjucting transiting Jupiter in the first. Leo is in the sixth house casp.
I am a researcher working on food allergy, currently trying to find a job in the Universital Hospital to promote my beliefs. Has this transit to do with this, or is it about a personal illness? If it is about my carrier is it the end of my dreams and beliefs or not? What is your opinion?
Thank you
Kleo
Jul 11, 06:44 AM
KLEO: Pluto will not square your Sun until 2012. More important, look at my article on the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction as it is conjunct your 1st House Mars. This is more important.
As you will read in my posts, at 29 degrees, Mars portends an ending cycle, letting go of what you do not need…a cycle of liberation but the liberation may not be your choice…but it needs to happen.
Jul 15, 03:29 PM
Hi Lynn,
Your site is so helpful, thanks so much. I am a cancer sun with moon conj neptune in 2nd house in libra. Pluto is coming to square from 5th as saturn conjoins . I have been feeling such intense fear and physical discomfort, waking in dread. I know I need to face these fears but they seem to be taking the form of paralysis.. I am too fearful of doing something wrong. Last year I sold my home and left behind everything ( job, home, furniture,plants, health insurance, foods I had been eating ,)all seemed to be right then but now I can’t seem to find any safe ground, nor can I find my intuition which has guided me for so long. I don’t trust my risk taking since it seems to have gotten me here.
One strong part of me wants to isolate and stay put in my apartment but another says try to go out and do things in the world, but I feel way too vulnerable for anything or anyone new. The anxiety is so intense. I understand that facing my fears is what’s needed but just how to begin that seems elusive.
Sometimes the fear takes the form of “ I sold my house and now the money will disappear in a bank failure or economic collapse“yet I also realize that’s just a picture of my insecurity ( what makes it seem so real is that it actually could happen given the economic times) Other times it’s just a loss of any sense of safety..
Any insight or advice woud be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
.
