pluto is probably the hardest planet to deal with as it transits (in my opinion). astrologically, pluto represents the things everyone tends to fear. pluto is about destruction, change, death, rebirth, transformation, power, etc. the themes of pluto are dark, and as it casts itās shadow over a new house; it brings these themes to said area of life.
however, pluto doesnāt do these things for the hell of it. the destruction is to make things better; to transform. pluto destroys everything in itās path so it can be rebuilt stronger, better; it brings down the toxic to make way for the better. on the brightside, pluto moves very slowly. most people only experiencing pluto transiting through 3-5 houses in their lifetime.
here are some things you can expect as pluto transits through your natal chart. keep in mind, pluto helps to reveal the hidden evils, forces destruction where change needs to be made; through the suffering good will come. if everything in that part of your life is good, pluto will leave it alone. oftentimes the struggles pluto brings about and the things it transforms are unwelcome at first; but eventually we come to realize their necessity.Ā
š 1st house: transformation of self š« as pluto pushes through the first house, you may undergo a multitude of self-realizations. do you know who you really are? do you understand yourself? do you love yourself? pluto is forcing you to not just ask these questions, but to answer them. a self transformation is inevitable; pluto wants you to rid the toxic traits you may hold onto and replace them with a better attitude. perhaps pluto sees the negative ways you talk to/about yourself; it wants that to change. it wants you to find the love for and in yourself. to be true to yourself; to be individual and your own person. it wants you to be authentic, to speak up for yourself. that is the goal of this transit.
š 2nd house: transformation of values, worth and comfort š« have you been speaking badly about yourself? treating yourself with little care? staying too far inside your home and comfort zone? pluto pushes through the second house to change this. pluto wants you to transform the way you think and speak about and to yourself. frequently talking down on yourself? pluto is going to push you to stop this; to view yourself in a better light, itās what you deserve. during this transit you may experience many battles within yourself, as pluto also pushes you to reflect on and transform your personal values; especially traditional and long-held values. are your opinions really informed? are you really living your best life? pluto makes you question all of this. it also gives you a kick to escape your comfort zone; pluto lets you know you cannot hide in the shadows and comfort of your home constantly; you must break free from the past and your personal bubble in order to thrive. pluto here may also bring about a sudden transformation in your finances; you could possibly experience financial struggle during this transit.
š 3rd house: transformation of communication and the mind š« the words are there but canāt seem to come out, right? youāre too scared to speak your mind, maybe you think too much of others before you speak up? pluto has had enough. you have a right to speak your mind- no, a need to speak up for yourself. pluto passes through the third and tells you to stop being so agreeable, so indecisive, so fair. itās time to be more selfish, to speak your mind. you may go through a transformation of your entire communication style, the way you think as a whole may also change. if youāre still in school, especially younger (like high school) you may completely switch directions with your plan for studying (or not studying) in the future (college/etc). pluto brings about changes to every aspect of your thinking, your speaking, your interactions with those around you. it forces you to reflect on your bonds with others; especially bonds with those like siblings, neighbors, friends. the core lesson here is speak up! you know what you want, you just havenāt accepted it. do you keep waiting until last minute to study for your exams? pluto will bring about harsh realizations and results if you donāt change the negative habits relating to your mind.
š 4th house: transformation of security š« does your home feel like itās falling apart? family tensions worse than usual? feeling like you cannot trust the people and places that once brought you comfort? discomfort especially with the mother, or mother-like figures? common feelings that come with pluto passing through oneās fourth house. if your home, family, roots, etc. are toxic, pluto is going to reveal this in full force. not only will it reveal this; but it will force you to break free from it. now is the time to step out of your past, to break free from it. pluto wants you to move, go. it wants you to cut out those that need to be cut out; even family (especially, actually). it wants you to leave the hometown, your comfort, and build and find new spaces of comfort. it wants you to rebuild your secure and safe places, it wants you to find a better one, a place of true comfort, not a place laced with nostalgic toxicity. pluto urges you to let go of nostalgia and the past, you need to learn to let go in order to grow during this transit.
š 5th house: transformation of love and creativity š« had an unexpected breakup (romantic or platonic)? suddenly feeling disconnect from your hobbies and things you were once passionate about? changing your views on romance, relationships and connections in general? pluto just might be transiting your fifth house. pluto passing through the fifth can be one of the most depressing transits to deal with, especially when accompanied by saturn. here, pluto is forcing us to transform the three things that tend to bring us the most happiness (romantic encounters/close relationships, hobbies and our passions). pluto wants you to rethink your relationships, how you approach romance, how you accept love. it might be revealing to you a toxic significant other, best friend or crush. it might bring about a breakup, perhaps not a mutual one that leaves you feeling crushed. but this is for the best; this person was bringing you nothing but toxicity; perhaps hidden; and pluto destroys to bring you better. as pluto passes through the fifth house, it wants you to really think about what and who brings you joy. it wants you to remove the things that make you unhappy; it wants you to really think about your creative pursuits and how to shape them to be more beneficial for you.
š 6th house: transformation of routine, daily life š« has your day-in day-out routine suddenly changed? your immediate/home life being forced into a bigger change? or perhaps your job, goals, or health has taken a sudden turn? these are some of the things that can come with pluto transiting through your sixth house. pluto passing through the sixth likes to shake up your routines, habits, your comfort zone- and give you a big kick in the butt to change them. been thinking about breaking bad habits? been wanting to better yourself? looking to start new work? wanting to eat healthier? now is a good time. pluto is giving you the push to transform these things. it wants you to treat yourself better, and to take your routines a little more seriously. they can bring far more reward than you may think. pluto transiting the sixth can also give you a push to cut out one-sided relationships. how many people are you giving everything to who give you nothing in return? itās time to let these people go, pluto tells you they arenāt worth it anymore. if you are serving others too much, you will realize this and be made aware itās time to stop, to let these people go.
š 7th house: transformation of close relationships, beauty, comfort š« have you been giving more than you receive? sticking around toxic and harmful people because of the nostalgia or past feelings you canāt help but hold onto? pluto comes in to shut this down, asap. no more one-sided relationships, no more draining yourself to please others, no more living for other people. pluto comes in and reminds you what healthy relationships and connections should be; it reminds you the importance of being alone and depending on only yourself. if youāre in a relationship, pluto may push to have this destroyed if it is a toxic, unstable relationship. you will thank pluto later when you realize the negatives of the person (or people) youāve been hanging around. pluto passing through here may also indicate a transformation of your self-worth, views on beauty and aesthetics, and the things you go to and rely on for comfort. are they really serving you? are they healthy? pluto asks you to reflect.Ā āenemiesā may be transformed as well; those you once hated you may suddenly see in a better late, or newĀ āenemiesā may form as you realize the true intentions of those you were once close to.
š 8th house: transformation of everythingĀ š« āeverythingā sounds daunting, right? believe it or not, pluto is most comfortable passing through this house; but that doesnāt mean itās necessarily easy. pluto wants you to restructure yourself; it forces you to fully reflect on everything in your life and those around you and find what needs to change. it also puts huge emphasis on intimacy and vulnerability. are you closing yourself off too much? or are you being far too open with those who donāt deserve it? are you giving too much in relationships? are you continuing to hold onto toxic people, situations and things of the past? break out of the nostalgia and wake up. pluto transiting through the eighth forces you to ask and answer these questions. much like the twelfth transit, it may drudge up some unfortunate traumas and pains from the past into the forefront of your mind. it wants you to face the past head-on and conquer it anyway you can; be it through getting help, speaking out, or learning how to move on and overcome to the best of your ability - no more repressing. learning to set boundaries for yourself, to restructure your goals, tap into your creativity, and be independent but still open with those worthy of your time are central themes of this transit.
š 9th house: transformation of the higher mind š« where are you? where are you going? what are you even doing? pluto passing through the ninth is forcing you to find this out. you may feel urged to travel, move far away; start your life completely over. everything feels wrong and you want to start from scratch. pluto will encourage this, if itās what you need. everything is suddenly uncomfortable, unfamiliar. pluto urges you to stop being scared and start living for yourself; go places and do things youāve never done. itās of vital importance to break out of your comfort zone during this time. pluto especially pushes you to transform yourĀ āhigher mindā; your beliefs, values, spirituality, philosophies, etc., are they really correct? do you really feel this way still? are these your own authentic views or were you forced into them? now is the time to reflect on the foundations of your thinking and self. pluto in the ninth reads like an easy transit, however, pluto wants to completely break down everything internally and externally here and have it reformed in your best interest. you may feel pushed to move far away, you may suddenly completely warp your values, your pursuit of higher education may flip to something new (perhaps even leading to a career change). trust your gut, and do what will better you and your life.
š 10th house: transformation of career, ambitions, public image š« is this really how you want to keep presenting yourself? are you following your dreams or conforming to what others have pushed you into? is your work life making you miserable rather than fulfilled? pluto passing through the tenth house forces you to look at these questions. you may find yourself going from completely changing your public image (from fashion sense to the way you speak and what you share; especially on social media platforms) to a more intense change of your entire career and ambitions. pluto transits through the tenth and forces you to think about what you really want to do; what work will really make you happy? what goals are yours and what goals were forced upon you? will you side with pluto and follow your own goals, ambitions and dreams? or will you resist and continue being unhappy in this path. pluto in the tenth can also cause some tensions and rethinking in terms of your home and comfort environment; a rethinking of those close to you and the safe spaces youāve built. are they treating you right? are you happy there/with them? pluto through the tenth may also give a creative burst to your ambitions and career; a new outlook, a new take; the push youāve been waiting for.
š 11th house: transformation of friendships, community and social habits š« have you been isolating or have you been going out too much? if youāve done either, pluto will make this obvious. pluto asks you to rethink everything from friendships to community; are you receiving what youāre giving and vice versa? pluto through the eleventh can also bring about a sudden, drastic change in your beliefs, values and dreams. the things youāve chased after and desired may suddenly flip; a change in what you want that seems to hit out of nowhere (moreso non-career related dreams/ambitions). pluto really pushes you to question your ambition in this house. you may go through a period of self-isolation as pluto passes through here; it wants you to fully reflect on you and those around you without the influence of otherās opinions. pluto pushing through the eleventh also can cause a hit on your creativity. suffering through creatorās block, writerās block, etc? pluto may be putting a temporary damper on your creativity as it encourages you to take this creative talent further. once you get through the initial block, pluto will likely bring about a huge surge of creativity; especially in relation to music or art! pluto wants you to do something with your creative talents; donāt hide them, own them.
š 12th house: transformation of the subconscious š« all the pain and trauma youāve repressed; itās coming to surface again, right? pluto is doing this on purpose. you will not heal if you simply repress. pluto brings up pain from the past, the issues youāve kept locked away and hidden in the deeper parts of your mind; it wants you to face them head on and get the help you need. pluto wants you to speak up if you need to, reach out, stand your ground; take time to care for yourself and do what you need to do. this pluto transit can be very hard as it seems impossible to avoid the dark memories and pain of the past youāve worked so hard to ignore. but pluto is telling you itās time to confront this pain, you will control it, not vice versa. on a brighter note, pluto passing through here can burst a creative spark into hidden talents or repressed dreams/ambitions youāve hidden away! pluto tells you to wake up, pursue your dreams and make something of the power you have within you.
