When Pluto transited my ascendant on January 20 2012, I was the victim of a terrible home semi- invasion. I had met a couple at a rehabilitation for substance abuse years earlier in 2008.
I went on to fight my sobriety and they had cocaine issues.
On the the night of Jan 20 they came to visit me. They were sitting outside my house as I was walking in.
After an hour they proceeded to beat the hell out of me and Rob me.
They continued beating me and I pretended to b knocked out. They ran out the door, I ran out the door 2 the house next door and screamed 4 help and the police came. The neighbor got the tag number and
because of that the police were able to capture them.
They had been on a drug fueled crime spree
Asc. 5° libra
Saturn on the 4th house. Capricorn 29°4th house also
Sun 29° Aries 7th house.
Pluto 7°Capricorn transit 4th house
I was robbed by 2 Leo Sunsigns
When Pluto was conjunct my ascendant someone tried to murder me. I was poisoned, stabbed bludgeoned almost to death. During that period I had someone place kerosene under the electric stove burners. The resulting fire left me with third degree Burns on my hands. There was a bomb put in my car and transaxle bolt was removed. I am a full moon babe Scorpio Taurus 8 to 12 th house. Transformative. Yes. It has terrorized me. It’s been since 2006. I can’t shake the fear. The reason I researched, as a Scorpio detective was money. An insurance policy on “accidental” death.
What’s a full-moon babe?
Writing from the last days of my Pluto-descendent conjunction.
All the changes, pains and sufferings have been internal, maybe my spiritual awakening prior to this has drastically de-dramatized the external events. On the outside, everything has been great – have gotten to a great place career-wise, meeting awesome people I’ve dreamt of meeting before becoming spiritual. However, deep down I know that none of this is what I need now. Energies created them has been dead, and part of me is extremely upset by this. The word “death” frequently visits my internal chatter. Things haven’t been easy, but in a strictly internal sense. But I know if I don’t act asap, the Pluto-Saturn conjunction next year will be hard as sh*t, since that’s when external events will manifest.
If you are going through this transit as well, good luck to you.
When Pluto crossed over my ascendant, Jan 1, 2019, I also had Uranus transiting my 3rd house, making a direct opposition, to my natal 9th House Pluto.
Someone, I knew from my past, said something in conversation, and it immediately triggered buried traumatic memories. I still don’t know which was worse. The memories of being sexually assaulted, or realizing I was in the same room, with my attacker.
“Wait a minute, does he think I don’t know? does he know? did he forget? does everyone know? do they know, I don’t know?”
Everything I thought I knew, was wrong, and no one, was who I thought they were. The week of my divorce, our best friend died. I’ve had 5, very real, near death experiences, in the last 6 years. My asthma became lethal, out of nowhere, and caused my lungs to swell, and stop breathing twice.
I’m an 8th house sun, so I feel like I kind of had those coming regardless. this transit ends the life you have….
Relationships end. Jobs are lost. Homes are gone. Friendships are done. Life is over. You have to die, to be reborn.
To love yourself unconditionally, you have to gain the ability to first. New Perspective. I’m no longer in a loveless marriage, or friends with deceptive underbellies of society.
I found love and intimacy, romance, confidence, self worth, POWER.
I had to lose my mind to get here, and let go of the life I had, but in hindsight, everything was totally worth it, an id rather be me, than not be me.
I love who I am, unconditionally. I’ve earned it. Trust your experience, if you’re having this transit. Its a rare occurrence, and doesn’t typically happen in ones lifetime. Not everyone is built intense life transformation.
Pluto breaks you down, and destroys everything. Leaving you feeling broken, defeated, hopeless and completely lost, without any hope of relief in future.
I’ve come to realize, that I’m grateful that the Universe is forcing me to be the best version of myself, by not allowing me to continue on a destructive path, that ultimately ends in physical death.
This transit forces you to let go of control, and start wielding your PERSONAL POWER!
Great post. Absolutely spot on. You have discovered exactly what Pluto aims to teach you.
When Pluto was over my asc., back in 2014, I experienced the biggest transformation so far in my life. It all started with an innocent conflict with my in-law, which unleashed such an array of emotions and suffering that I nearly ended up divorcing my husband (for what I saw as lack of support for me), went through an eye-opening therapy (which literally and convincingly connected what was happening with me at the age of nearly 40 to my earliest childhood) and ended up, on third round of contact, with a surgical operation of what probably came from stress. The hardest year so far. I can now see that I didn’t let myself ‘lose control’, as they say everywhere that you should, which was the biggest source of suffering back then. Oh I wish I had known better than that!
Back in 2006 I was living in the Bay Area. My chart relocation mapped my at square of sun opposite moon square Pluto angular. It out pluto on my ascendant. I was told by my astrologer-teacher in that place I be dead or famous. In that area I was stabbed had someone out an acellerant under my electric stove burners a bomb put in my car. The transaxil bolt on a Subaru removed. Someone did try to kill me. I lost everything except my life. Only god kept me alive. Pluto ascendant. A very difficult aspect. Especially with a chart like mine
Good grief. I’m glad you’re okay. This transit is not a game. My mom is also having it, and I’ve said I don’t feel like she’s experiencing the same level of trauma that I am. She says it’s because she’s a sun Pluto conjunction natal. She says she been working Pluto energy her whole life. I’m an 8th house sun and I still don’t think anything can prepare you for this transit or aspect. My boyfriend is natal Pluto ascendant and he’s had to save my life twice when my asthma became lethal. Like I don’t even know how to process this stuff sometimes. It’s too much.
I live with a t square. Sun moon opposition pluto square. Pluto 8 th house. Moving to SF relocated chart my angles. Pluto on midheaven. It’s been life changing.
In March 2023, Pluto will transit both my natal ascendant and my natal Saturn and all of these posts have scared the heck out of me! Wish me luck!
Same.
Pluto will be transiting my ASC till november 2025 and I have tons of major negative aspects throughout all of this.
I wish I didn’t read this.
Pluto has been retrograde. it moved to almost oppose my ascendent in 29 degrees Cancer before it’s retrograde. I sold my home of 29 years got rid of 80 percent of everything I owned. moved to another state and bought a home sight unseen. lasted 4 months moved back and sold the out of state home and bought a condo not far from original house. I also remember and sold a rental home . Had another condo and sold it. Soo I let go and sold 4 houses this year and bought 2, if which I keep only one, and the aspect has not even become exact. will be exact early Feb. July and December this year. I also have medical issues which are so rare no doctor can help
also my husband died and my little dog died and both his daughters have left my life. I can hardly wait to see if I end up in a tent next Christmas or in a grave. probably not because I see no Neptune aspects.
Pluto in one lifetime transited my MH in libra. My Saturn Venus mercury and sun in Scorpio while opposing my moon and square my natal Pluto. I survived. When it transited my ascendant in Sagittarius is relocated chart that made it angular. Someone. Likely my x hubby tried to murder me. Thruftsud he got two homes. I been stabbed. Bludgeoned almost to death had an accelerant placed under my stove. Suffered third degree burns to my hands. Had the phone disconnected. Got arrested for drugs. Out in my car. Went to jail. Lost my licenses to practice medicine. Then had a bomb placed in my car. Etc. Yes there is more. Pluto doesn’t play. Be careful. In mynatal chart. Neptune is conjunction my mid heaven. Also in my life. Pluto transited my mars mid heaven. Now it’s beginning square aspects to all my Scorpio Taurus planets. Welcome to my world of deep transformations. My own hubby I supported tried to have me disposed— retired to a grave. Be careful
When Pluto was conjunct my ascendant my husband stole tw ones. Changed my mailing address with the bank. Re made my bank statements. Took $185,000.00 in credit card tax advances. Put his name on a pre marital asett, my home. Reconvened the deed as fictitious took off my name and was paid for the property sale balloon payment. Not me. N the problem chess I was stabbed had kerosene put under stairs ve burners. Had 3 degree burns to my hands. Had a bomb put in my car. Had the transaxil bolt in a Subaru taken out was busted fir drugs he put in my car (I did time). He tried to have me murdered fir insurance policy. Had an illigimate child. Had me pay for their insurance. Pluto asc was rough and almost got me murdered. In my case I live with a T square of sun moon Pluto angular on my ascendant. Pluto transits are no joke.
Fascinating posts. When Pluto transited my Ascendant in Libra, I was 7 years old. I was sexually assaulted and told repeatedly while it happened that if I screamed on told anyone what he did to me, he would kill me and my entire family. After he forced me to do “things” to him, he demanded I take off my panties and lay on the ground. As he was about to rape me, something told me in my head, “When he pulls down his pants, he won’t be able to chase you…RUN!!!” I did and thankfully did not die the day. I fully believe that if he had raped my 7 year old body, he’d have killed me. This experience changed me forever. My parents had split the year before this incident, and within two years of this sexual assault, we finally moved away from that neighborhood. I never visited the area where it happened until I was much older. When Pluto moved over my exact 24th degree, my boyfriend attempted to kill me via strangulation after I had broken things off, something I never in a million years thought he’d ever do. Again, I was very lucky that when I dropped to the floor after he cut off the oxygen to my brain, he got frightened and ran away. I woke up not realizing what happened to me for many years, when pieces of this trauma came back into my memory. In those ensuing years when I didn’t remember, I’d see him and act like nothing happened, because I didn’t remember. He even apologized to me, but I didn’t know why. Wasn’t until my late 40’s when I entered counseling that the memories were pieced together. Seems the beginnings of this type of transit and the degree of your Ascendent position is a pivotal time. I’m very lucky to have survived and it sounds like everyone else is, too.

When Pluto at 29 and a half degrees capricon oppose my ascendant I had been building to it I sold my home of 29 years I sold another home I stepped out of lived in I sold another home that I used for my husband had Alzheimer’s so I could stay near him and I moved to another city lived there 4 months and sold that home and of course every time I was purged of more and more possessions more and more memories I believe that’s actually started at some midpoint My husband had dementia for several years and passed away before this aspect and when the actual acts aspect was on me I got very sick and I’m not really recovered yet now Pluto has gone retrograde in In capricon and will let you grade over my ascendant and then move forward over my ascendant and then will oppose my natal Saturn at 3° Leo and we’ll let you grade back and forth over that I’m 76 years old and I’m really hoping I survive this
Pluto has purged me of people I loved pets I loved homes I loved and possessions I loved only to show me that none of it matters it rips things from your eyes and really it just scrapes you down to be a bone My health is gone disease or the stomach the old cancer capricon and then alone I think that’s a Saturn influence and I think I’ll probably be more alone if I survived the retrograde over by ascendant and it’s direct again then I’ll have to have Pluto oppose my Saturn and then should I survive that it will oppose Pluto at 12° Leo in my first house I think it’s a very daunting last chapter in my life
Im Capricorn ascended, 29 deg. Pluto retrograde has been transitting my asc since June 2023 & was exact in July. I repeated kept fainting, paralyzed for hours. ER ran every test, all came back normal. Went back to the ER same day, stayed overnight for them to tell me I’m “fine”. Only my Balinese Shaman was able to help me get out of the hospital & back to the US. My hair has been falling out by the clumps. I’ve seen my naturopath, endocrinologist, acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist all with no help. I think this is just one thing I will have to deal with until Pluto is in Aquarius. He’ll be conjunct my natal Asc again in December & Im ready for him. I’ve had several spiritual ppl tell me it’s my karma, possibly from a previous life. I’m a Scorpio stellium, Pluto & Sun conjunct. I’m all about death & rebirth. I’m taking every step possible to be healthier. I already take great care of myself, lost 100 lbs, beat Lupus & maintain hypothyroidism but this. This is different. No matter what I do, I’m still struggling with my health. Wish me luck & the same to y’all!
