Deep spiritual transformation
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Pluto Conjunct Neptune transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t ignore your intuition just because you feel confused- if something feels off, trust your gut.
- Try not to get involved with shady or secretive people or situations. This transit can make deception easier to miss.
- Avoid escapism through substances, binge-watching, or other ways to run from your problems- it’s tempting, but won’t help.
- Don’t neglect your need for rest and grounding, even if big feelings are coming up.
- Try not to push yourself too hard to figure everything out. Some things are just meant to unfold in their own time.
- Don’t make big financial or life decisions unless you’re really clear-headed. Wait until things feel less foggy.
- Try not to fall for big promises or miracle solutions- they could be too good to be true right now.
- Don’t isolate yourself completely. Talk to trusted friends so you have someone to reality-check things with.
- Resist the urge to be super dramatic or to see things in all-or-nothing terms. Keep your perspective flexible.
Do During This Transit
- Explore your subconscious – This transit is great for journaling, dream work, and even therapy. You might discover hidden patterns or old wounds that are ready for healing.
- Let go of illusions – It’s a powerful time to face the truth, even if it’s tough. Try to notice where you might be fooling yourself, and be open to letting go of old fantasies or unrealistic expectations.
- Start a spiritual practice – If you’ve been curious about meditation, prayer, or any spiritual discipline, this is the perfect time to dive in. You’ll connect deeper than usual.
- Channel your creativity – Pluto and Neptune together can bring intense inspiration. Try painting, writing, or making music to express whatever comes up for you.
- Face your fears – Neptune rules over things we don’t always see, and Pluto pushes us to transform. Don’t run from your fears or anxieties; work through them little by little.
- Practice healthy escapism – Instead of numbing out with substances or binge-watching, find ways to relax that actually help you grow, like yoga or being out in nature.
- Study psychology or mysticism – You’re naturally tuned in to the mysteries now. Reading about psychology, dreams, astrology, or other spiritual subjects can be super rewarding.
- Set boundaries with negative influences – It’s easy to absorb energy from others during this transit. Try to protect yourself from toxic people or situations.
- Heal old trauma – Pluto is all about deep change, and Neptune helps dissolve what’s no longer needed. Consider seeking support to address any past hurt.
- Trust the process – Lots may not make sense right away. Be patient and let things unfold- you’ll come out of this transit with a new sense of clarity and purpose.
What’s interesting about this transit?
When you look at Pluto conjunct natal Neptune, you mostly hear about deep transformation of ideals and dreams. But ancient astrology texts hinted at some unusual side effects that you don’t see talked about these days.
- Some old Persian and Arab astrologers believed that this combo could stir up very unusual dreams that predict future events, or at least bring forgotten childhood memories to the surface, almost like prophetic visions. They used to call it “the breaking of inner seals.”
- European astrologers from the 19th century sometimes linked Pluto-Neptune connections to the “clouding” of land boundaries- so people with this transit were said to witness debates or confusion over property or national borders in their countries.
- Old esoteric writers said this transit could mark a period when someone becomes obsessed with mystical music- either composing, playing, or just getting unusually lost in the same songs or melodies that seem to unlock paranormal states.
- Some ancient Indian astrologers interpreted a transit like this as a good time for overcoming old karmic debts that are deeply hidden, especially debts between soul groups, not just between individuals (they called it “unbinding of invisible ropes”).
- A few 1930s authors thought that when Pluto conjoins Neptune, there might be a rise in collective interest in “secret” or underground movements- everything from spiritual cults to hidden societies, or even underground art scenes. Individuals might get drawn into these circles without fully realizing why.
- Rarely, old texts mention a sudden and strong curiosity about alchemy, séances, and the possibility of talking to animals or plants (as if the boundaries between different worlds get thinner).
Experiencing This Transit
When Pluto is conjunct your natal Neptune, it’s a weird, deep energy- almost impossible to ignore. This combo doesn’t just nudge you. It’s more like being pulled below the surface of your usual reality. Stuff that’s always been kind of foggy in your mind (hopes, fears, dreams) suddenly gets intense and impossible to brush off.
Your imagination can go wild: themes of power and powerlessness mix together with fantasy, nostalgia, and even confusion. It’s kind of like living inside a mystery movie where feelings blur with facts and you keep wondering, “Is this real?” Sometimes, it’s super inspiring- and other times, it feels like treading water in a pool of weirdness.
Challenges during this transit
- Overwhelm & Confusion: Pluto exposes the hidden stuff in Neptune- so you might feel flooded by confusing feelings, doubts, or illusions. Sometimes, it’s hard to trust what you see or feel. You might even suspect others of hiding things from you, or you could overthink other people’s motives.
- Obsession with Fantasies or Escapism: It’s really easy to tune out from reality- and binge on fantasies, games, substances, or anything that lets you escape. You might notice yourself slipping into daydreams or addictive behaviors without meaning to.
- Loss of Boundaries: Guilt, shame, or other people’s pain can start to feel like your own. It’s possible to get mixed up in someone else’s drama before you know it- especially in groups, introverted retreats, or spiritual circles.
- Paranoia or Fear of the Unknown: Sometimes you catch yourself worrying about big, cosmic things- like destiny, the end of the world, or whether anything has meaning. This can be unsettling and might keep you up at night.
Opportunities during this transit
- Major Spiritual Growth: If you lean into this energy, you can open up whole new paths of spiritual discovery. Meditation, mystical practices, or even creative self-expression (music, poetry, art) could suddenly click and make more sense to you than ever before.
- Deep Healing: Pluto brings up old wounds so you can heal them for good. This transit lets you cut ties with past emotional baggage- especially issues that’ve felt “untouchable” or too tangled up before now.
- Heightened Intuition: There’s a real boost in psychic sensitivity. Trusting your gut might lead you to breakthrough moments or help you step into roles you never saw yourself in (like mentoring others, or speaking up about things that matter).
- Transformation of Dreams: You may get new clarity on what you actually want from life. Those hazy dreams or half-made plans can suddenly become more vivid and real. You might even feel brave enough to chase something you’ve only imagined before.
- Connecting with Like-Minded Souls: Because the boundaries between people feel softer, you could find a new tribe- friends, collaborators, or mentors that really “get” the strange way you see the world.
