Here is my blog post from today which I will probably make a permanent page. It deals with both Uranus and Pluto transits since they are hitting people's charts together right now.
Uranus & Pluto in personal growth covers planets through Mars, as well as Asc and MC...https://kannonmcafee.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/uranus-pluto-in-personal-growth/
Pluto transiting angular to natal Asc: transformation of identity and overall orientation; purging of old relationships no longer needed; expect some sense of psychological death and rebirth.
No need for fearReading through this thread terrifies me. lol
Transit Pluto will conjunct my Cap Asc in a few years.
Shortly afterwards, Saturn will conjunct my Asc as well. Oh and a couple years after that Uranus will conjunct my Sun in my 4th house.
It is hard to believe life could get tougher than it already is for me with T Saturn opposing my Sun, Mars, Mercury and Chiron this past year.
In my natal chart, Pluto conjunct Saturn squares my Ascendant so I may not notice any change with a big Pluto transit. T Saturn opposite natal Chiron has been my worst transit and so far the most dangerous one.
A planet transiting the Ascendant has different effectsHi Geminimoon...
I can see what you mean about the “big Saturn opposition. ” It was Uranus. No wonder you went through all that ****. You have Saturn and Pluto conj in the 10th so Uranus didn’t just oppose Saturn…but Pluto as well.
At first sight of your chart, I would say with Pluto and Saturn so close in the 10th, you must have an amazing career. Power…prestige. When transiting Uranus opposed those two, I can image it must have been really hard. Shook things up. Whatever your situation, career or otherwise. Or was it maybe a parent?
And that Pluto/Saturn is traveling pretty close together over your ascendant, as you mentioned, in a few years. That could be a major breakthrough for you…whatever you are trying to achieve. Good news is….you have time to prepare!!
As far as feeling it…you will. The astrologer Carol Rushman uses Mars crossing the ascendant to rectify charts… I have observed that she is right. Something does happen when Mars crosses the ascendant. It may be some small accident like a stubbed toe or a scrapped knee. (Someone rear ended me on one…) This is just a reminder that the ascendant is a very sensitive point.
Yes you will feel it with both Pluto/Saturn crossing over. Just prepare yourself for a transformation. Start now to eat well, sleep well and resolve to be strong.
Best of luck to you!
Hi Geminimoon,
Don't worry things will get better. 2013-2015 has been a challenging time not only because of the transits to your natal chart but for awhile we were all experiencing a cardinal grand cross between pluto, jupiter, mars and uranus (not the easiest planets to deal with) . I have a lot of planets in cardinal signs too (including ascendant in capricorn 17 degrees) so I feel your pain. And anyone with major planets or angles in cardinal signs would experience the worst of it.
But to me the biggest issue in your chart is saturn. It takes precedence over all over planets because it is your chart ruler. It is conjunct pluto so every time a planet hits your saturn it is also hitting your pluto as well so it's like a double whammy. Like I said I have saturn as my chart ruler and every time a planet transits saturn I feel it probably triple the strength of any other planet. Saturn is a malefic planet and hard to deal with but having it as your chart ruler makes it have that much of a stronger influence.
Also your saturn is at the 29th degree scorpio. It represents the weakest degree of that sign. Because by the time you had your first birthday (solar return) saturn had already progressed to the next sign of saggitarius. So you didn't learn how to become comfortable with the scorpio energy. I have my sun at 29th degree and it is a very karmic point. It means we are so close to mastering a spiritual lesson but not quite. So life presents us with certain upheavals to advance us on our spiritual path. Its not an easy path, but worthwhile.
Also pluto is currently transiting your 12th house. Pluto is almost done in my 12th but this was one of the most emotionally terrifying times of my life. I thought that everything was being taken away from me just as a way to push me to the end. But trust me it gets better. When pluto goes into our 1st we will have more power and be more confident. I am already starting to feel better.
But yes definitely not an easy couple of years for you but hang in there the best is yet to come
interesting...
When I had Pluto travelling through my 2nd house - I really struggled to see how there was anything happening at all.
But after reading this - I think it was more that having so little money didn't bother me, I'd had very little money before and I knew I could cope. But also, my attention in life at that time was on discovering new value systems and exploring those.
I have found it interesting though, when talking about this sort of thing with particular friends, that they commented that having no money for them e.g. when a uni student (or whatever reason they are low on money), that this lack of money becomes the main issue, and that at those times they couldn't possibly be interested in philosophies or other value systems... and then they quoted Maslow's hierarchy of needs, saying that no one can be interested in value-systems or philosophy etc unless they have all their other needs in place.
Pluto through the 2nd house, I think has no interested in Maslow's.
