“Powerful growth boost”
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Jupiter Sextile Pluto transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t try to control or manipulate others to get your way. This energy can tempt you to push for power, but it’s better to work together.
- Avoid taking reckless risks with money or investments, thinking you’re invincible. Luck is on your side, but overconfidence can backfire.
- Don’t get obsessed with “fixing” yourself or others all at once. Growth takes time- be patient with personal transformations.
- Stay away from digging up old grudges or reopening emotional wounds just for the sake of drama. Let sleeping dogs lie.
- Don’t become overbearing when you feel passionate about your opinions or beliefs. Inspiration is good, but preachiness can push people away.
- Avoid making huge life changes without careful thought. It’s a time for steady progress, not drastic upheaval.
- Don’t ignore your own limits- Jupiter boosts confidence, but everyone needs rest and boundaries.
- Try not to neglect the needs or feelings of others while you pursue your own goals. Remember teamwork.
- Avoid keeping secrets or hiding important information, believing it gives you an edge. Openness brings better results.
- Don’t assume you can “fix” every problem right now. Some things are outside your control and that’s okay.
Do During This Transit
- Dig deep into personal goals and make big plans for the future.
- Start therapy, self-help, or any kind of inner healing work- you’ll have extra insight now.
- Take bold steps toward transforming a part of your life you want to change (career, finances, relationships, habits, etc.).
- Network with people who are influential or powerful- you may get lucky connections during this time.
- Research and investigate anything that’s been a mystery to you. It’s a great time to uncover secrets or find lost information.
- Work on financial matters, like investments or big purchases, if they align with your goals.
- Get involved in activities that empower you or help empower others.
- Start learning about psychology, spirituality, or anything related to deep transformation.

What’s Interesting About This Transit
- In Principles of Horoscopic Astrology (1962), Charles E. O. Carter mentions that Jupiter sextile Pluto can point to “the native’s ability to draw resources from hidden or overlooked quarters.” This means you might discover support or advantages where you least expect it- like finding old investments suddenly valuable or meeting mentors in unusual places.
- Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson, in Here and There in Astrology (1964), states that this transit may bring an “elevation of taste in art or music, particularly towards the avant-garde or transformative genres.” It’s a quirky prediction, suggesting this transit nudges you to appreciate or even create groundbreaking art, especially stuff that’s different or changes minds.
- According to Grant Lewi in Astrology for the Millions (1940), Jupiter sextile Pluto sometimes gives a “push toward obscure forms of study such as alchemy or numerology, opening doors to wisdom that others might find too strange or esoteric.” So, you might start diving into forgotten spiritual practices or hidden knowledge.
- In Alan Leo’s Complete Dictionary of Astrology (1942), he notes this transit can lead to “beneficial entanglements with people of unusual or extreme beliefs, resulting in personal growth.” Not everyone talks about making important connections through controversial or unconventional groups, but this transit sometimes points that way.
- In The Astrological Aspects (1951), Charles E. Carter features a little-known notion that this sextile may bring “protective power from ancestors or distant relatives, sometimes indicated by sudden inheritance or restoration of family honor.” It’s not just about money- there’s a mystical sense of invisible family support.
- In Predictive Astrology by Sepharial (1948), it’s noted that Jupiter-Pluto sextiles occasionally coincide with the resolution of long-standing family secrets or unearthing lost documents, leading to a shift in personal identity or family dynamics.
- Ronald Davison writes in The Technique of Prediction (1955) that this transit can “restore lost faith in institutions or authority figures, sometimes through the indirect influence or reform of those in power.” You might notice a subtle, positive change in how you feel about big organizations or government.
Experiencing This Transit
Jupiter sextile your natal Pluto is kind of like the universe handing you a power-up button, but quietly, behind the scenes. You might not even realize the gears are shifting until you suddenly see results – more confidence, stronger instincts, or opportunities popping up where things used to feel stuck. Sometimes it feels like you’ve got this new ability to understand what’s going on behind other people’s words or spot possibilities in strange places.
This transit usually isn’t dramatic – it’s more like a background hum: you just start sensing what needs to change, or you feel inspired to reach higher for your goals. If you’ve got hobbies or dreams you’ve kept on the back burner, you may suddenly feel motivated to bring them out into the open. Relationships, money, career, or spiritual paths can all get a boost if you’re willing to harness this energy.
Challenges During This Transit
- Feeling Overwhelmed by Options: With Jupiter’s growth energy aiming at Pluto’s depths, you might suddenly see too many potential directions (career moves, emotional paths, etc.) and freeze up, not sure which big risk to take.
- Temptation to Manipulate: Pluto deals with power, and Jupiter likes to amplify things, so there’s a subtle risk of using insights to “work” a situation too much, or trying to control outcomes instead of letting things evolve.
- All-or-Nothing Thinking: Sometimes this transit makes you want to go to extremes – either you’re all in, or you give up entirely. That can create pressure to make big moves when you’re not ready.
- Resurfacing Old Fears: Pluto rules what’s hidden. Under this transit, some buried fears or hang-ups may bubble up right when you start feeling ready to expand. Don’t let them stop you!
- Subtle Power Struggles: You might notice small tug-of-wars in friendships or work, as you become more aware of what you want out of relationships and aren’t as willing to play passive.
Opportunities During This Transit
- Big Personal Growth: This is prime time for self-improvement – especially stuff you’ve been avoiding. Therapy, personal coaching, deep study, or kicking an old habit could finally stick now.
- Transforming Your Role: You could get a chance to step into a leadership or mentorship position, or just get more influence in an area where you previously felt powerless.
- Financial Wins: There might be a chance to invest in something transformative – like education, real estate, or starting your own business. Or, you could inherit something valuable, not always money but maybe past wisdom or family connections.
- Deep Connections: Relationships can grow much deeper and more honest. You’re able to talk about difficult things and heal old wounds.
- Passion Projects Take Off: If there’s something you feel obsessed with, Jupiter will help you make it bigger or share it with the world. Your intensity is an asset now!
- Hidden Talents Surface: You might surprise yourself with a new skill or psychic insight. Sometimes this looks like sudden “luck” in solving mysteries or tackling complicated problems.
- Positive Influence: You’ll find it easier to positively impact your surroundings and help others. If you want to be a force for good, this transit’s got your back.
