On Transiting Pluto

by Patricia M. Hanus

Transiting Pluto Entered the sign of Sagittarius January 18, 1995. It will leave January 27, 2008, at which time it will enter Capricorn for a several months.  Transiting Pluto will enter the sign of Capricorn officially November 27, 2008, GMT and be in Capricorn until November 20, 2024.

What is the planetary transit of Pluto all about?

Pluto is the planet of death and transformation on a physical, emotional, and psychological level. The transit of Pluto's entrance into any zodiacal sign can be either subtle or explosive. It carries with it tremendous power and is known to pack a wallop.

By the end of Pluto's journey through a house or department of life in your natal chart, you will know that you've been through some type of long, transforming, experience. You might not know exactly what this transforming experience was, but one thing you will know for sure and that is you, your lifestyle or world around you won't ever be the same again.

Some things will pass out of your life, perhaps by your own doing, or because of circumstances beyond your control. Rest assured something else will be put in its place. Things that can pass out of your life or be taken away from you can be anything such as a house, money, pension, life savings, loved one, job, career, etc. The experience can be tragic, but on another level, you may be forced to take a different road in life and this can be a good thing in the long run when you are way up the road in life and looking back at where you were when this very important things was taken away.

Pluto transits generally begin by slowly breaking down old structures in your life that are no longer useful or are preventing your growth process. On occasion, a Pluto transit can make its debut with a powerfully destructive blow like wiping out an entire town with a tornado, hurricane, volcano eruption, etc. A tree could fall on your house, you could wind up in the hospital with a life threatening illness. You could break a leg or arm.

Does everything have to be destructive or bad with a Pluto cycle? No. You could win the lottery or slowly work yourself up the ladder of success financially, emotionally, or  spiritually with the transit of Pluto.

Transiting Pluto is definitely a force to reckon with. Its presence in your life can destroy, eliminate, or just do some plain old fashion house cleaning regarding physical things you no longer need.

Relationships are not safe from Pluto's touch. Relationships can be strengthened, eliminated or a significant new one enters your life to influence you toward major change.

Pluto transits can bring decay, death, and some type of major transformation. Machines and machinery break down, need replaced or repaired if they aren't fully destroyed first. Machinery can become outdated, obsolete, or destroyed.

Pluto is slow to travel through a sign, but through the process something new grows out of the ashes of the destruction.

Pluto can transform our physical appearance, especially when it transits our Ascendant and into our first house also known as the first house of self. You can go from thin to obese and vice versa, cut long hair to short, from a full head of hair to shaving our heads bald. Whatever changes you make to your appearance, it is likely to indicate a change in  the inner you. This is all due to the transforming qualities of transiting Pluto over your Ascendant and into your first house.

As old aspects  of your life pass away, they are replaced by  new ones that could not otherwise have come into existence in your life if it were not for the powers of transiting Pluto.

Unfortunately, if you are too fixed, rigid, stubborn, or resistant to  change, then the necessary transformation that you need in order to change and grow will be forced upon you and out of your control. Thus, rather than be in charge of your life, you may feel that you have lost control over your life. You may have to adjust and contend with circumstances and change that you may not like or might even hate. We will struggle to change our circumstances by finding new ways to make our life better.

New people can come into our life to help us up. You may consider them angels. Someone could come into you life to become a mentor, teacher or Sage that helps you grow in wisdom and knowledge.

When you resist change life has a way of forcing the changes upon you and then you will scream and holler and say, "Look what life has done to me, poor me."

Major decision making such as moving/relocating, changing careers, changing your thinking, the way you see things in life, the way you live your life, the way you behave, for some, may no longer be fully in their control.

If you find transiting Pluto giving you a rough time, then you may need to ask yourself, "What is it that I need in my life to help me learn and grow, or, what will it take to get me to change?" I have to ask you, "Were you ever going to change on your own?"

Sometimes it takes a catastrophe in order for someone to go out and do something to make the world a better place to live. Transits of Pluto have a long journey in which to manifest these types of major, transformational changes in our life and in humankind. Out of something bad, something good often comes. 

Powerful changes for the betterment of, not only our lives, but for the good of all humankind, generally has the touch of transiting Pluto upon it. Pluto transits can also help you achieve your Dharma when you make good things happen, when you sow good seeds and do good deeds. Such historical humanitarians were Lincoln, and Gandhi, etc.

You can count on upheaval and transformation regarding our government, business and economy here in the US.

It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to transit all the signs of the zodiac and  make one complete revolution around the Sun. 233 years ago in 1776 we, in Northern America, won our independence from England, July 4, 1776. The last time Pluto transited the sign of Capricorn was in 1776.

Well, I guess, if history tells us anything, it is that history often repeats its self. It may be that we will be putting together a whole new democratic government with the next new administration based on the original 1776 Declaration of Independence.  Will there be a revolution of some sort? Or did it already happen with the election of President elect, Obama? Americans are crying out for a voice to be heard in our government. Obama just may be that voice or hope.

My personal opinion is that we haven't had a democracy or democratic government for the last 8 years. It may be quite a struggle to establish a working government that is based on the original Declaration of Independence of "we the people."  So, with the help of Pluto, we may be able to take back  America. And, perhaps, the middle class can begin to regain its place in our society, not just a rich or poor class.

Did the cycle of Pluto break down our government in order to transform and build a new one, one that is more humanitarian, one that works for all Americans?

I don't usually use my Webspace for political rhetoric, but, without a doubt,  Pluto now in the sign of Capricorn is going to transform us politically, as a nation, and personally in some form or another.  By the way, did you know the color that represents Pluto is black?

Please no e-mails. This is just my opinion. My point is this. This transit of Pluto into the sign of Capricorn is a huge major transit. It is a very important transit. So, for all concerned, it is best to be better informed. Read all about the now dwarf planet Pluto and become more aware of our entrance into a whole new way of life and living. Things are going to break down and then be transformed, like the Phoenix that rises from the ashes.

Let's look at all the sun signs to see where you have transiting Pluto in Capricorn in your solar chart and where you might be transformed. Remember, I am dealing only with the solar chart since I do not have everyone in the world's natal chart. So, only the house in your solar chart is mentioned below and the areas in your life that may be transformed or affected.

Aries: Transiting Pluto is in your solar 10th house of career and status in the world. There is apt to be a huge change in your career whether you plan for it or not. Expect to be busy in these next few years working hard on the job/career. Whatever time or money you invest in career to gain financial security should or will pay off in the long run. Watch your health, get the proper amount of sleep, eat right and do things to lessen the stress in your life. Avoid alcohol, drugs, excessive spending, gambling, etc. Don't take on more than you can physically handle. Be glad if you are working and have a job.

Taurus: Transiting Pluto is in your solar 9th house of higher education, religion, travel and house fixing up. If you are thinking of going back to school to further your education do it. It will work out well for you in so many ways. If your house needs rehap work or fixing up, then be prepared to put in all the hard work and do it. If you are unhappy with your current religion or church, then during this Pluto cycle you could change your religion or go back to church if you have been away, or you could, if you were atheist, might begin to believe in God, or if you were once religious, then you might begin to disbelieve in a God. Who knows what you will do regarding religion and belief. You could bounce back and forth during this whole long Pluto cycle.

Gemini: You have transiting Pluto in your solar 8th house of other people's money, possessions, inheritance, your income tax concerns, matters to do with IRS, sex and matters or business that deals with death and dying. There could be problems or burdens regarding the money or property you own jointly with another. Banks and mortgages will be in high focus as you try to apply for a loan, or re-mortgage your home or  business. You should make sure your wills are made out for current situations and circumstances. Make sure all IRS, and tax matters are tended to. Learn how to save. Put trusted family on your bank accounts, insurance policies and all legal and important papers. Don't assume all is in order. The passing of someone close to you could change your life and how you view life very deeply. Any inheritances could be held up or have some snags.

Cancer: You have transiting Pluto in your solar 7th house of marriage and partnership. This Pluto transit is likely to change your important relationships for the worse or better. It depends on how you handle this transit and your partner. Power struggles need to be looked at and gotten rid of. Instead learn how to negotiate and compromise with your partner. A marriage or partnership could end and/or a new one come into existence. Make sure you don't feel unequal. This needs to be an equal partnership legally. Obey the rules, all rules, don't speed, if you do, the police are likely to find you and fine you heavily. Expect to be in the public eye at some points during this cycle. You could be defending someone or needing a lawyer to defend you. Open enemies could cause you some stress or concern.

Leo: Transiting Pluto is in your solar 6th house of health, job, service, tenants. Pay closer attention to your health. Eat right, get enough sleep and see your doctor for regular and routine exams just to play it safe. If you are a landlord, make sure you screen your tenants closely. They could give you some problems. They could skip out on not paying you or wreck your property. They may not leave when you ask them to. They may be more of a burden than asset. If you over work during this transit, you could weaken your health or cause health issues. Pay to have some things done. You may not be able to physically do everything yourself like you used to. Get your teeth fixed if they need fixing or cleaning. You could be very involved in work and service to help others in the health field. You could be taking care of the elderly or needy. It could be your job to do this, just be careful you don't strain your self lifting.

Virgo:  Transiting Pluto is in your solar 5th house of love, romance, children, artistic and creative work and risk taking. During this cycle you are apt to be more cautious regarding gambling or risk taking. You will probably watch our money more closely and begin to learn a new and better way of spending and saving. You will play it safe and this is a good thing. Your life should be on a better track than it has been for a while. You finally see what love is really all about, how to love, how to share, how to be generous and romantic toward your significant other. You are likely to pursue some dream you have been hoping to achieve for a long, long time. Just be realistic and stay focused. You can obtain the love of your life and a life long dream no matter what it is. You will learn how to give and receive love, compliments and affection. This is a great cycle for creative work, artistic work and to have children if this is your wish. If you are a teacher, this is a great time for teaching children all ages. You could buy and/or sell property. You could lose big and win big in these transactions, but further up the road, it could all pay off big if you put in all the hard work. You could win a big raffle or lottery. This doesn't mean you have to invest a lot of money. Just a dollar will do. Don't spend a lot at any casino, but you could win on small machines. During this cycle you could break bad habits or addictions like gambling or spending recklessly.

During this cycle all or some of these departments of life will be in high focus. You will need to work on some of these issues. This is a cycle when you might consider buying a house or a condo or a piece of land or property. This is all fine as long as you have the money to do it with and a little financial cushion to go with it, but don't over spend. Stay within a budget. You may have problems selling a home or buying one. During this cycle you could move several times before you finally settle into something permanent. Home and having some place to live may be an issue or concern. You may have to settle for something less than you wanted, but do some rehabbing and fixing up and it will look great. Get rid of past garbage. Your thoughts and feelings from the hurts of the past need to be dealt with. If you need counseling, get it. If you are grieving for a loved one, seek grief counseling.

These departments of life can be a source of problems of some sort. Cars and your means of transportation can be a constant source of aggravation until you get the car you need or want or get one repaired. Be careful to lock your car doors, otherwise, it could be stolen right out from under you. Your car could be vandalized or weather damaged. Make sure your tires are good. Could get new neighbors that have an impact on your life for good or bad. You are likely to have to get a newer computer, or phone service. Your job may entail a lot more commuting and daily travel. Be prepared to be doing a lot more paper work or business on the road. With all the work you have on your plate your mind could be on overload. So, be careful not to take on more than you can handle.

Sagittarius: Transiting Pluto is in your solar 2nd house of money, salary, possessions, self-esteem, how you spend money and the money you are able to earn.

You may lose money in order to find money. You will set your mind on making the money you need in order to be financially secure. Look over the past 12 years and try to figure out which bridges you burned . What have you done or not done to get where you are today. You may need to turn your thinking around and look deeper into yourself. You can rise to great heights financially if you put your mind to it. Get out of debt, and learn to save. Can't go spending like there is no tomorrow, because that day has come. Now is the time to set your mind to work on how you are going to make all the money you need to become financially secure. You could become very rich or very poor or both within this Pluto cycle. Your company or bosses look upon you favorably and you may rise to a higher position in the company. If you own a home, get it paid off as soon as possible.

Capricorn: Transiting Pluto is in your solar 1st house of self, persona, physical body. This cycle gives you great power of your inner self. You must use it wisely. People will look to you for answers, look to you as the one in charge. You will be called upon to help those in need, those who have less. Don't take on more than you can handle. Give yourself some time for pleasure and relaxation. Work on yourself. If you are overweight, lose weight. If you are underweight, gain weight. If you have negative addictions, get rid of them. Become the powerhouse, high executive, wealthy person, authority figure, master at your craft. During this cycle, circumstances, situations or things or people will be taken out of your life in order to fill  your life with other things that are needed to accommodate your new life. When a door closes a window will open during this cycle. At first it may feel like you get hit by a train, but getting back up will make you stronger for the new life that will emerge later on with this transit.
