Pluto, known for its association with death, rebirth, crisis, trauma, and transformation, holds immense power. It is also deeply connected to large organizations. When Pluto makes a transit across your moon, which can last anywhere from 2 to 4 years, you can expect to experience a wave of intense emotions. This transit has the potential to bring about profound inner reflection and resurface childhood memories that demand your attention.
During this phase, it is crucial not to shy away from these emotions. Pluto intensifies them, forcing you to confront your past head-on. In some cases, this transit can even lead to changes in your living situation, such as moving out or returning to live with your parents. You may feel a sense of powerlessness as Pluto pushes you through a transformative experience that challenges your sense of security.
Remember, transits are temporary. In my own experience, when Pluto crossed my moon in 2015, I found myself fighting against an eviction, struggling to retain my job and keep my car from being repossessed. As an Aries Sun, I am not one to back down from a fight against corporations. However, there comes a point when we grow weary. The day I was officially evicted, I returned my car, stopped job hunting, and moved back in with my parents. It was a relief. Suddenly, I felt lighter. Over the next six months, I rebuilt my life, and within a year, I had a new house, a new job, and a new car. My life had improved beyond what it once was, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Pluto’s purpose is to remove what it deems unnecessary from your life, as it has bigger and better plans for you. Unfortunately, for some individuals, this transit can also signify the loss of a mother. Pluto, symbolizing death, can quite literally bring about this tragic event. However, Pluto also represents new beginnings. If you do experience the loss of a parent during this transit, you are likely to undergo an emotional roller coaster. It is a prime opportunity to seek therapy and engage in self-reflection. Sometimes, all we need is a safe space to express our emotions and make sense of our complex emotional landscape.
To gain insights into what to expect during this transit, consider the house placements and the sign associated with your moon. For example, my moon is in Capricorn in the 8th house. As I was 25 years old at the time, this event triggered a move. The moon’s position in the 8th house highlighted changes in finances, home, intense emotions, and debt. I had significant financial obligations, but by the end of Pluto’s transit through my 8th house, I had managed to pay off all my debts. Capricorn signifies authority, and during this time, I struggled to trust the authorities in my life. It was also when I delved deeply into astrology and psychology. This experience taught me valuable lessons about emotions, loss, pain, psychology, and where my true power lies.
For Aquarians, who will experience Pluto entering their sign in March 2023, be prepared for changes in your relationships, particularly with stepmothers, stepsisters, distant family members, and friends. These connections are likely to undergo psychological transformations, and you may also seek a sense of safety in your living circumstances.
Pluto’s message is clear: let go. Do not resist the energy. If something feels out of your control, allow it to be. Pluto has grand plans in store for you, and they are far greater than anything you can imagine.
