Experiencing Transit Chiron Sextile Pluto

When Chiron forms a sextile to your natal Pluto, it’s like the universe is quietly nudging you to look at some of your deeper stuff, but in a way that actually feels helpful instead of overwhelming. Chiron is all about where we feel vulnerable or wounded, but also where we tap into healing. Pluto, on the other hand, deals with our deep drives, control issues, power, transformation, and even some of our darker feelings or experiences. With the sextile, these parts of yourself work together in a supportive way.

Melanie Reinhart mentions in Chiron and the Healing Journey that Chiron’s contacts with Pluto can bring old emotional injuries up for healing, but the sextile specifically lets you work with these energies more easily. Zane B Stein, in Essence and Application, explains that this transit opens doors for gentle transformation , things that once felt too scary to face can seem less intimidating now, and you might notice you’re ready to deal with them.

You’ll probably find yourself examining your past, maybe noticing patterns in your behavior that go way back. There’s a sense of wanting to dig up the roots of your pain or insecurity, but with support, like you’re guided from within, not forced. Barbara Hand Clow explains in Chiron: Rainbow Bridge that Chiron-Pluto interactions can reveal where you’ve survived or coped with deep difficulties, and the sextile can help you use those experiences to heal and even help others.

Challenges During Transit Chiron Sextile Pluto

• Facing Buried Emotions: You might get waves of feelings or memories you thought you’d dealt with, but now they feel important to look at. Even though the sextile is helpful, it can still bring up uncomfortable stuff, like shame, guilt, or anger that’s been lingering below the surface.
• Temptation to Control: Pluto can make you want to control what’s coming up, to hide your feelings or keep your vulnerabilities to yourself. You might struggle with letting others in while you’re working things out internally.
• Subtle Power Struggles: Experiences with others during this transit can trigger old issues around trust, betrayal, or manipulation, even if they’re minor. You could catch yourself reacting strongly to situations that remind you of older wounds.

Opportunities During Transit Chiron Sextile Pluto

• Deep Healing and Release: This is a good time for any kind of therapy, deep conversations, or even just journaling. You’re supported in letting go of pain or shame you’ve carried for a while. The process can feel like a weight is lifting.
• Empowering Yourself and Others: You might start recognizing ways your past wounds give you insight, maybe you get chances to help someone going through something similar, or even just find more compassion for yourself. The sextile can make you feel stronger and more “in charge” of your journey.
• Transformation without Chaos: Unlike harsher aspects, the sextile makes change feel more manageable. You might notice shifts in your attitudes or habits that just make sense now, instead of requiring a big crisis.
• Renewed Creativity and Spiritual Growth: Sometimes this transit sparks new interests in psychology, spirituality, or creative work that helps express what you’re feeling. It’s a great time to explore your intuition or artistic side.
