Transit Jupiter Conjunct Natal Pluto

Powerful transformation and growth.

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Jupiter Conjunct Pluto transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t get involved in power struggles or try to control others. This transit can make people feel more dominating, but it can backfire.
• Avoid making huge, risky investments or financial moves. Jupiter can make you overconfident, and Pluto’s influence can bring losses if you’re reckless.
• Don’t push yourself (or others) to extremes. If something starts feeling too intense, it’s okay to step back.
• Avoid holding on to grudges or focusing on past traumas. This is a good time to let go, not dig your heels in.
• Try not to get obsessed with a single idea, goal, or outcome. Obsession and fixating can easily happen with these planets, but it usually leads to frustration.
• Don’t keep secrets or hide something important from people you trust. Secrets often come out during this transit- sometimes in big, dramatic ways.
• Don’t ignore your intuition or gut feelings, especially around people who seem manipulative or controlling.
• Don’t get tangled up in shady plans or anything illegal. Jupiter-Pluto energy can blow things out of proportion if you take the wrong path.
• Avoid being stubborn if something clearly needs to change in your life- this is a time for transformation, not resistance.

Do During This Transit

• Go deep with self-reflection: This is a powerful time for looking within and understanding what drives you. Journaling, therapy, or deep conversations can help you find those hidden motivations.
• Transform bad habits: Jupiter helps you grow, and Pluto is all about transformation. It’s a great opportunity to break free from patterns that don’t serve you anymore.
• Work on big projects: If you’ve wanted to tackle something major- like starting a business, writing a book, or launching a project- now’s a perfect time. You’ve got the energy and vision to see it through.
• Seek out knowledge: Jupiter loves learning and Pluto wants depth. Dive into a new subject or start a new course, especially if it’s something deep or intense, like psychology, finance, or science.
• Empower yourself: Stand up for yourself in areas where you’ve felt powerless. Maybe it’s setting boundaries, speaking your truth, or finally asking for that raise.
• Let go of what’s holding you back: Pluto’s all about release. It’s a great time to ditch toxic relationships, limiting beliefs, or anything that’s dragging you down.
• Go after your goals with intensity: You’ll feel extra driven now- use that! Set big goals and don’t be afraid to chase them with everything you’ve got.
• Tap into your intuition: Your gut feelings might be especially strong, so pay attention to your instincts. Meditation or quiet time alone might be extra powerful now.
• Connect with people in power: You might get chances to meet or work with influential people. Networking can open doors in exciting ways during this transit.
• Support others going through tough times: You have the emotional strength to help, so if people need you, reach out. You could be a rock for someone else now.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some ancient astrologers linked Jupiter-Pluto contacts to “the philosopher’s gold,” a symbol for deep spiritual riches disguised as worldly loss or transformation.
• In Renaissance astrology, this transit was called “the kingmaker aspect,” said to coincide with a hidden ruler- someone gaining intense influence from behind the scenes.
• Ancient texts sometimes warned this alignment could prompt “the rise and fall of secret societies or esoteric groups,” revealing hidden powers at play in someone’s life.
• Some old sources believed this could bring “restoration from ancestral roots”- like receiving an inheritance or an important family secret coming to light.
• Early astrologers sometimes marked this as a “purging of the treasury,” when old resources (material or emotional) are swept away to make space for new abundance.
• It was also said to sometimes attract mentors of “great but terrifying wisdom”- people or events that push you to look at what you’re afraid of, and grow past it.

Experiencing This Transit

Jupiter conjunct your natal Pluto doesn’t happen often, but wow, does it make an impact! This is a period when you might suddenly crave big, sweeping changes. You could feel a drive to dig into the depths of your own life- to turn over the old soil and see what you unearth, especially around power, truth, and personal transformation. It’s like a giant cosmic magnifying glass on parts of yourself (and your world) that need to grow or change, even if it’s uncomfortable.

Your ambitions might rocket forward. You’ll feel bolder, more driven, maybe even a little ruthless in the pursuit of your goals. You’re more willing than usual to let go of what’s worn out or in your way, because there’s this sense that something better or more profound is just around the corner.

This can also be a time when relationships of all kinds get intense. You’ll notice where there’s imbalance, who holds the power, and where you want to have more say- or maybe even take the wheel completely. But Jupiter’s vibe is also hopeful, so while things can get deep, you’ll usually have some luck or opportunity to grab onto, too.

Challenges during this transit

• Power struggles: You may find yourself in conflicts with authority figures or people trying to control you, or you might become a little too obsessed with control yourself.
• Overdoing it: Jupiter can exaggerate things, and Pluto makes it intense, so watch out for going overboard- maybe taking crazy risks, pushing people away, or diving too deep into something at the expense of balance.
• Obsession or compulsiveness: You might feel drawn to research or a project so much that you ignore other parts of your life (school, friendships, rest).
• Uncomfortable truths: Hidden secrets (in yourself or others) might come out. If you’ve been shoving stuff under the rug, it can tumble out now- sometimes with a bang.
• Letting go isn’t easy: Old patterns, relationships, or habits might want to leave your life. Even if it’s for the best, it can feel scary or sad before you see the good side.

Opportunities during this transit

• Personal transformation: This is prime time to start a new chapter- makeover your mindset, heal from a tough time, or set out on a whole new path.
• Influence and leadership: Others may look to you for your strength or big ideas. It’s a great moment to step up, start leading, or share your wisdom (even if you feel like you’re still learning yourself).
• Digging up hidden treasures: You could uncover resources you didn’t know you had- like talents, passion projects, or even literal things (like a surprise job offer or a sudden windfall).
• Spiritual or psychological growth: Jupiter and Pluto together love a good mystery, so exploring psychology, spirituality, or even just journaling your feelings can lead to breakthroughs.
• Clearing space: Letting go might sting at first, but it opens the door for big, positive changes- relationships that support you, better habits, or a healthier self-image.
• Helping others transform: Because you’re going through so much change, your experiences can inspire or guide other people going through their own tough times.
