Print article - Pluto Transits to Your Natal Chart

Someone who is or will soon be experiencing a natal Pluto transit will be wise to expect that a great deal of adjustment may be needed from themselves while this transit is in effect. This is because Pluto is a powerful planet that is often associated with reformation and rebirth and the transit may work to bring hidden truths from the depths of the native’s psyche into their awareness for conscious processing. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but Pluto transits can in fact become great times for healing when dealt with patience and wisdom.

Pluto is known as 'the god of the underworld'; his effects are very profound, which means certain areas of a person’s life who is experiencing this transit may be somewhat shaken up, so that they may require much more attention than they had previously. Any attention that is focussed towards the area of life affected by the Pluto transit will become most beneficial if this attention is that of gentleness, respect, conscientious care and patience.

Pluto is a compelling planet who naturally finds his way into the underbelly and the deepest nooks and crannies of a person's being and the time during this transit may become more difficult to navigate if the changes Pluto begs us are greatly resisted. However, if these energies are expected and understood beforehand, with the help of a good astrologer, one can prepare themselves as best they can. Preparation may also help us to avoid internal struggles and unnecessary confusion and frustration.

The Rewards of a Pluto Transit

Because Pluto is such a slow-moving planet and therefore takes longer than the rest of the planets to pass over a natal point or a house, his energies can manifest in our lives in such a way that those things we have been relying on for a long period of time goes through changes. Then, the effects after the Pluto transit can last for the rest of our lives.

Following the transit, there may also be some great rewards, especially if it has been dealt with well. Some of these rewards are very personal and include inner self-renewal, a fresh sense of purpose, a new-found passion for life, a greater respect for boundaries, personal strength and invaluable, newly uncovered psychological and emotional truths to proceed with.

The newly uncovered psychological and emotional truths that are found during this transit can often bring us much further in alignment with our soul’s purpose and intended direction. We may also find that we can live more independently and authentically, having shed an old skin that was no longer serving our highest potential. We may be completely re-born and fully prepared for transition into our next phase of life. In other words, the after-rewards are very often just as great as the transit was in itself.

Other Manifestations of a Pluto Transit

A person must be careful during their Pluto transit because the energies that come into their lives are not always welcomed and can therefore have a tendency to manifest in life as a struggle to overcome external forces that threaten our sense of internal security somewhat. This can happen in the form of the actions of other people, institutions and internal emotional and spiritual balances to name just a few. Other things that may happen are exertion of unwanted control or unwillingness to relinquish control when appropriate, inflexibility (can be ourselves or other people), other direct influences in our lives that are perhaps unwanted or resistance and lack of willingness to compromise or cooperate. Compelling inner desires that are difficult to reign or understand may also surface and the immediate outcome is not always desirable.

Preparing for Your Pluto Transit

A great way you can try to prepare for this transit is by working with these energies rather than against them or by trying to temper them. Practising as much patience and perseverance as you possibly can at this time is also a great virtue, while viewing the direction of your soul through life as a bigger picture rather than through the small details. Another way we can help is by working to improve whatever situations are unfolding gradually rather than instantaneously, because any pressure added as a result of reactionary impulse is more likely to bring unfavourable results. Bodily exercise and creative forms of self expression as a release for the high amount of energy and strong impulses that are associated with this aspect can be helpful, too.

Pluto transits are known to be exhausting because of the intense energy they bring into a person's life and can require much dedication to work through positively and progressively. It is always a good idea to keep an eye on the end date of the transit whilst remaining positive in the knowledge that, like with any other transit, it is indeed temporary.
