Transit Neptune Trine Natal Pluto

Magical Transformation

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your intuition or dismiss your gut feelings, even if they seem out there- Neptune can make inner messages really powerful.
• Try not to get lost in fantasies or escape from reality through things like daydreaming all day, binge-watching, or overindulging in anything that helps you avoid real-life stuff.
• Avoid making major financial or legal decisions without double-checking the facts- this transit can cloud judgment and make things seem rosier or trickier than they really are.
• Don’t rush into new spiritual practices or beliefs without doing some research first- you might be more open to unusual ideas or people now.
• Try not to get sucked into power struggles or manipulative situations, especially if someone’s trying to use guilt or confusion to control you.
• Avoid keeping secrets or hiding important information, since things hidden during Neptune transits have a funny way of coming out.
• Don’t romanticize the past or your relationships- keep your feet on the ground even if things feel magical.
• Try not to avoid dealing with deep emotions by numbing out with substances, food, or distractions.
• Avoid letting unhealthy attachments or obsessions take over- Neptune and Pluto can amplify intense feelings if you’re not careful.
• Don’t forget to check in with reality- make sure you’re seeing people and situations clearly, not just how you wish they’d be.

Do During This Transit

• Dig deep into your own emotions and try some self-reflection- you’ll find it easier to understand what’s going on inside you now.
• Work on breaking old habits or patterns that hold you back, since transformation comes easier during this time.
• Get into creative projects, especially anything involving art, photography, music, or film- your imagination’s supercharged right now.
• Explore anything related to spirituality, meditation, or mysticism. It’s a great time to trust your intuition and connect with a spiritual side.
• Let go of grudges or past hurts. Forgiveness seems more natural, and you’ll feel lighter if you release emotional baggage.
• Tune into your dreams- literally! Keep a dream journal, because your subconscious mind is extra active and could send you some important messages.
• Volunteer or help others out. Compassion is strong for you now, and making a difference will really feel meaningful.
• Consider therapy, counseling, or any kind of healing work. Emotional breakthroughs and big personal growth are much more likely during this transit.
• Read up on psychology, mysteries, or anything that dives beneath the surface- your mind wants to explore the hidden side of life.
• Let yourself flow with changes, instead of fighting them. This transit helps you go through transformations smoothly and without as much stress.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Visionary Economic Concepts: According to Charles E. Carter in his 1936 work, Astrological Aspects, Neptune trine Pluto can indicate “an uncommon talent for conceiving new fiscal or economic theories, often two or three generations ahead of their time.” He links this to an intuitive grasp of cycles and deep social currents that most people ignore.

Experiencing This Transit

When Neptune forms a trine to your natal Pluto, it’s like mysterious doors start opening in your psyche. Things from your past- maybe from even deeper, collective layers- begin to shift, but gently. There’s this undercurrent of change, as if life’s inviting you to surrender old baggage without drama or pain. It’s not a loud, chaotic transformation. Instead, it’s subtle magic, dissolving what’s stagnant and calling you towards your deeper dreams.

Your intuition gets amped up. It’s suddenly easier to sense vibes and undercurrents, both in your own life and sometimes even in the world around you. You might feel drawn to study psychology, spirituality, or even dive into art that explores the mysterious side of life. All of this happens with a surprising ease- like you’re tuning into a frequency you never noticed before.

Challenges during this transit

• Too much daydreaming: You might find yourself drifting off, losing focus at school or work, or just feeling spaced out. It’s easy to get lost in fantasies about changing your life instead of actually doing it.
• Confusing what’s real and what’s not: Neptune’s fog can make it tricky to spot manipulative people or shady situations. You might see someone- or even a part of yourself- in a more forgiving light than they deserve.
• Loss of motivation: Since stuff seems to shift on its own, you might think you don’t have to put in effort, leading to periods of laziness or inaction. You could let opportunities for deep change slip by.
• Unexplainable emotions: Sometimes old feelings bubble up without warning. You might not even know where they’re coming from, and it can be hard to talk about them with friends.
• Boundary issues: This transit can make you more compassionate, but also more open to being drained by others’ problems or dramas.

Opportunities during this transit

• Spiritual breakthroughs: You could have sudden breakthroughs in meditation, prayer, or creative work. Things feel guided, like you’re not alone in your journey.
• Healing old wounds: Traumas or fixations from your past can dissolve more easily. You might see patterns clearly and just let them go, or forgive yourself (and others) without resentment.
• Connecting with your intuition: Gut feelings get stronger, helping guide you away from toxic relationships or pointless struggles. Trust those odd hunches- they’re probably right.
• Artistic inspiration: If you’re creative, this is a killer time for painting, music, writing, or any project where you want to mix imagination and depth. Stuff just flows.
• Sensing bigger trends: You might “just know” where things are going on a social or global level, picking up collective shifts before everyone else.
• Bonding with like-minded people: Soul-level friendships can form out of nowhere, especially around spiritual, psychological, or creative interests.
