Hey, Amazon, when Saturn was opp Pluto - fun times - not!
Your Asc is cj my NNode, 8 Sag, which is cj Antares. Your Sun also opposes your Asc as does my Sun opp my NNode, cj Aldeberan. Perhaps being cj those fixed stars had something to do with the transit being so extra nasty. What do you think about that in relation to your transit (if you're still around)? Antares, which also cj'd my husband's Sun, the definition sounds very warriorlike to me, but is said to be a fortunate fixed star, and Aldeberan sounds super, but is said to be unfortunate.
Any comments anyone?
Well, like all Pluto and/or nodal transits, it certainly was very karmic to say the least.

AqMoon,
Hey, thanks for the interesting article and your input on the Pluto transits thread!
I honestly hadn't taken any of the conj's or other aspects into consideration with the Pluto transits when I started the thread initially. I have never had the opportunity to study astrology formally so most of my knowledge is gleaned from self directed study in books or online.
The last six months have been beyond busy for me with duties to both career and family (I think it might be due to trans nodes), either that or just plain old middle age and the whole sandwich generation thing. This Amazon does not have enough time for herself! I do apologize for the late reply to your posting, AqMoon.
Ok, some novice questions: approximately when was the transit of Saturn opp Pluto? Was that just a general transit or unique to our natal charts? I will tell you from around late 1994 up until this last year, nothing has been stable and certainly has been in upheaval no matter the constructive efforts put forth by myself. Late 94 thru 96 were some of the worst! Divorce, financial upheaval, name it, it was there. Even managed to get arrested and broke my left foot in 5 places (not on the same day tho!)...it was just a crazed time and no matter what I strived to do or accomplish, it was one thing after another after another. I dont know if this would have been around the time of the conj that you wrote of. Also, from mid fall 2002 up until around the beginning of this year, many things were again, in upheaval.
I wasnt aware that my sun opp my asc, never seen that in my chart. I knew my sun sq'd my midheaven Might as well sq the asc with all the inner challenges that go on....You know the T-shirts that say "You wouldnt be smiling if you knew what I was thinking", ya well its a maelstrom in here...
Now, astrology aside, I do see a direct correllation in what one chooses in life vs what transits are triggering in the individual's life. Hindsight is always the perfect vision of 20/20 isnt it, AqMoon? Somehow, even back 10 years ago had I known about transits and astrology, I would have most likely made some, not all, but some of the same poor choices I made then. Ego is a strong monster/motivator if we allow it to rule our decisions. Emotional maturity is the wisdom gained from those experiences. I like the idea of Western astrology being about free will and choice regardless of the transits or natal aspects. If I ***** up? I own it, deal with it, and move on to the next moment in time. Reads to me, AqMoon, that you too, are on the same track, applause to you!
I still have the transit of Pluto sq Moon going on...and ohhh hasnt it been enlightening for me! Soon, in October, Saturn square Saturn! Woohoo, cant wait! There are lots of other very positive transits going on as well and I am due for a bit of a break anyhow (I need to quit using the term, 'break' because I broke the 4th toe on my right foot about 3 weeks ago!). Then in a few years, Pluto moves on to my 2nd house for a nice long visit. I am making preparations now for the inevitable visit!

Fixed stars are still vague for me in terms of interpreting my natal chart placement and their transiting aspects; unfortunately for me I am unfamiliar with both Antares and Aldebaren. I had found some sites but they vary wildly in the interpretation. Lilith, for an example, yikes...lets just push my natal interpretation waaaaaay back down inside and not let her out! So, I dont have a reply for the question, sorry!
AqMoon, I am glad you learned from your Pluto transit and continue to do so. We are the sum of our own experiences and it appears you have gained much wisdom from the experience. Its just a shame that sometimes loss(s) play a heavy role in the experiences. Hey, maybe it wasnt really loss, so much as excess baggage we were carrying around for all the wrong reasons!
Again, I apologize the long period of non-response to your post, AqMoon.
