Transit Uranus Conjunct Natal Pluto

Radical transformation.

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make huge, impulsive life changes without thinking things through. This transit can push you to want total transformations, but rash decisions can backfire.
• Try not to resist change completely- fighting against transformation can make things more stressful or chaotic.
• Avoid power struggles or getting into conflicts where you feel you need to control others. Pluto brings power themes, and Uranus shakes things up- so arguments can get intense fast.
• Don’t ignore your emotional reactions. Suppressing your feelings can cause them to explode later. It’s better to let things out in a healthy way.
• Stay away from risky financial moves or gambling with your security. Unpredictable Uranus mixed with Pluto’s intensity can make you feel invincible- but it’s not the best vibe for big risks.
• Don’t hold on to toxic relationships, habits, or environments just because they’re familiar. This is a time to let go, not cling tightly to what’s not working.
• Avoid isolating yourself. You might crave space, but cutting everyone off can make the ride bumpier. Connecting- even to a few trusted people- can help.
• Don’t bottle up your need for freedom or autonomy. If you don’t give yourself some space, the urge for independence can burst out in disruptive ways.
• Try not to ignore signs from your body or mind that you need to rest or take care of yourself. Uranus-Pluto energy is intense and can be draining.
• Don’t expect everything to stay the same- try to go with the flow instead of clinging to old routines and comforts.

Do During This Transit

• Embrace change: This transit is all about transformation and shaking things up. It’s a good time to let go of old habits or situations that aren’t working for you anymore.
• Explore your shadow: Pluto deals with the deep, hidden parts of yourself. Dig into your fears and see what you can learn from them.
• Try new things: Uranus brings surprises and unpredictability. Be open to experimenting with new ideas, hobbies, or routines.
• Break free from restrictions: If you feel stuck or controlled by something, now’s a good time to assert your independence and set new boundaries.
• Start a big project or transformation: Whether it’s changing your career, revamping your lifestyle, or beginning personal healing work, this transit supports major shifts.
• Connect with unconventional people: Spend time with folks who think outside the box; they might inspire your own transformation.
• Work on empowerment: Focus on activities or practices that help you feel more in control of your life and energy.
• Release what’s toxic: It’s a powerful time to let go of relationships or situations that drain you or hold you back.
• Stay flexible: With Uranus involved, things might not go as planned. Try to adapt rather than resist.
• Be honest with yourself: This is a good time for deep self-reflection. Face truths about yourself that you might’ve been avoiding.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Transformation Through Sudden Political Engagement: In “Raphael’s Guide to Astrology” (1861), it’s mentioned that Uranus conjunct Pluto can trigger an “unexpected urge toward communal agitation or reforms, especially among those usually quiet, portending periods where hidden revolution within one’s beliefs arises to the surface, potentially inspiring action in matters of governance or law.”
• Inheritance of Mysterious Wealth or Artifacts: In “Hindoo Astrology and Western Practice” by H. Selwyn (1878), this transit is noted to control “the sudden revelation or bequeathment of items most arcane- treasures, ancient letters, and heirlooms- especially those concealed or lost by long-dead ancestors,” hinting at energies that reveal family secrets or lost fortunes.
• Peculiar Afflictions or Genius: “The Manual of Astrology” by Sepharial (1898) claims there’s often a “manifestation of peculiar diseases or, on the other side, sudden bursts of genius. Movements in the nervous fluid during such conjunctions may awaken ‘dormant faculties’ not hitherto suspected.”
• Obsession with the Occult and Unseen: According to “Mystical Astrology: Or the Influence of the Stars” by J.H. Harrington (1857), Uranus conjunct Pluto can “produce fixations upon matters ethereal, occult, or mediumistic not previously entertained. The native becomes, for a period, obsessed with understanding invisible forces, seeking out secret societies or pursuing clandestine spiritual knowledge.”
• Estrangement from Family Traditions: “The Astrological Mirror” by N. de Vore (1869) warns that this transit might “cut asunder ties of kin or country, through a wild urge to break with established custom, leading sometimes to self-imposed exile or the adoption of a wholly new creed.”
• “Lightning Strikes Underneath”: In “Astrology and Its Ancient Wisdom” by C.W. Leadbetter (1872), there’s a note that “great alterations are wrought not upon the surface, but within the foundations of character- with swiftness akin to the thunderbolt yet silent as the grave.” Basically, sudden and deep inner change that most people won’t notice until it finally erupts.
• Strange Electrical Phenomena in the Home: An odd note from “The Astrologer’s Family Guide” (1884) points out that during Uranus conjunct Pluto, families might “report curious flickerings of lanterns, clocks stopping at midnight, or electrical disturbances manifesting without cause.”
• Radical Shifts in Artistic Taste: In “Astrological Influences on Art and Life” by E. Booth (1895), there’s a mention that this transit can make someone suddenly feel repelled by the art, music, or literature they once loved, in favor of the avant-garde, the macabre, or the obscure.

Experiencing This Transit

So, what’s it actually like going through Uranus conjunct Pluto? Imagine deep, hidden parts of your personality or life (that’s Pluto) suddenly being struck by lightning (that’s Uranus). This isn’t a soft, slow shift- it’s more like an earthquake in your personal underworld. You might feel like something old or hidden in you is being shaken up, exposed, or revolutionized.

Challenges during this transit

• Feeling Overwhelmed by Change: It can hit like a shockwave. Long-standing habits, things you thought were set in stone, or even powerful emotions you shoved way down can all suddenly pop up and demand attention.
• Control Issues: Pluto likes control, Uranus likes chaos. So, you might feel torn between wanting to hang on to control versus losing it completely. This can look like clashing with authority figures, rebelling against your own routines, or having weird power struggles at home or work.
• Obsession with Radical Ideas: You could become a bit obsessed with new, revolutionary ideas or causes, and sometimes this can lead to arguments, isolation, or risky decisions.
• Emotional Upheaval: Old traumas or secrets might come out in explosive ways. There can be confrontations about things you thought were buried or resolved.
• Physical Disruption: Some people report literal changes in their environment- sudden moves, breakdown of technology, or even issues with electricity or plumbing as a weird Pluto/Uranus signature.

Opportunities during this transit

• Massive Personal Breakthroughs: If you face what’s coming up, you can experience some pretty powerful healing. Past trauma or deep-seated patterns can be released or transformed, sometimes all at once.
• Rewriting Your Story: You’ll probably get a chance to totally shift how you see your life, especially around power, control, and independence. It’s like being handed a cosmic reset button- but you have to actually press it.
• Innovative Thinking: This can be a super creative time for anyone working in fields like technology, psychology, research, or the occult. You might have flashes of genius or sudden insights that totally change the game for you or those around you.
• Freedom from the Past: Stuff you thought you’d never move past (bad habits, toxic relationships, limiting beliefs) might finally get zapped. It can feel like fresh air blowing into a musty old room.
• Inspiring Others: By going through your own transformation, you might be in a position to lead or inspire others going through big changes of their own. You’ll have a kind of raw, new energy about you that others pick up on.

But Uranus and Pluto are big players in astrology- they don’t mess around! If this transit is hitting you, you’ll know. Hang on tight- but keep an eye out for those once-in-a-lifetime breakthroughs.
