Avoid During Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Jupiter

• Don’t take on risky investments or gamble with your money- overconfidence’s high right now, but luck might not be on your side.
• Avoid making big promises you can’t keep, especially if you’re feeling pressured to impress others.
• Don’t try to force your beliefs or opinions on others; intense debates can easily spiral out of control.
• Stay away from cutting corners or exaggerating your achievements- honesty is the safer bet, even if you want things to move faster.
• Don’t travel impulsively, especially if you’re escaping problems or chasing big, dramatic changes; things may not go as planned.
• Avoid overcommitting to projects, classes, or big self-improvement schemes- you might feel invincible at first, but burnout’s a real risk.
• Don’t ignore legal matters or brush off bureaucratic details- you’re more likely to get caught if you try to skate around the rules now.
• Stay away from power struggles, especially with authority figures or mentors; egos are easily bruised under this transit.
• Don’t indulge in “all-or-nothing” thinking, like believing you have to win big or give up completely.

To Do During Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Jupiter

• Reflect on your beliefs. This is a powerful time for questioning what you’ve always believed in- sometimes your old ideas and philosophies need a little “upgrade.”
• Challenge your limits. If you feel boxed in by rules or old ways, push yourself (carefully!) to see what you can really do.
• Work on personal growth. Self-improvement projects are favored now, especially ones that dive deep into your fears or big-picture goals.
• Re-evaluate goals. Take a hard look at your ambitions. Are you still chasing what actually matters to you?
• Watch for power struggles. You might notice more drama with people about what you “should” believe. Stay open-minded but don’t let others push you around.
• Detox your mind. If you’re stuck in negative thinking, now’s a good time to work on letting that go.
• Research and learn. It’s a great transit for digging deeper into subjects you care about- especially anything mysterious or taboo.
• Travel inward. Instead of going on a trip, explore your inner world. Meditation, journaling, or therapy can help shift your mindset.
• Use your power wisely. If you find yourself in a position to influence others, be conscious of how you use that power- don’t manipulate or let your ego take over.
• Be patient with big changes. Sometimes, growth takes time, and not all transformations happen overnight. Trust the process.
