Transit Pluto Semisquare Natal Neptune

Hidden Truths Push Through

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your intuition. If something feels off, trust those gut feelings instead of brushing them aside.
• Avoid getting involved in shady deals or anything that seems too good to be true. This transit can make it easy to get fooled.
• Don’t escape reality with substances like drugs or alcohol. It’s tempting to numb out, but it’ll probably make things worse.
• Try not to bury your emotions. Even if it feels heavy, letting things build up could turn into bigger issues later.
• Don’t get lost in fantasies or wishful thinking. Stay connected to what’s real, even if dreaming feels easier.
• Avoid keeping big secrets or hiding the truth, especially from yourself. Secrets can bubble up in uncomfortable ways during this time.
• Don’t take on too much for others or try to be a martyr. You need your energy for yourself right now.
• Steer clear of cult-like groups or anyone promising magic solutions to life’s problems. There’s a risk of being misled.
• Don’t ignore your mental or spiritual health. If things feel murky or confusing, get grounded- talk to someone you trust.
• Try not to over-interpret your dreams or symbols. Sometimes a dream is just a dream, not a sign of doom or destiny.

Do During This Transit

• Question your beliefs- it’s a great time to ask yourself what you really believe in and ditch ideas that don’t make sense anymore.
• Explore your subconscious- try journaling, therapy, or dream analysis to see what’s going on under the surface.
• Get creative- art, music, writing, or even just doodling can help you process feelings during confusing times.
• Let go of illusions- notice if you’re clinging to unrealistic hopes or ignoring red flags, and start letting them go.
• Work through old fears- face things you’ve avoided, even if it feels uncomfortable.
• Practice meditation or mindfulness- it’s a good way to stay grounded if you’re feeling spacey or anxious.
• Trust your gut- intuition can be strong now, even if logic feels foggy.
• Take extra care with decisions- double-check facts, don’t believe every rumor, and watch out for scams.
• Reach out for support- if things feel overwhelming, talk to someone you trust.
• Accept that not everything’s clear right now- it’s okay to not have all the answers during this shift.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old astrologers saw Pluto semisquare Neptune as “the beast in the mist”- a time when hidden, primal fears and forgotten superstitions bubble up in confusing ways.
• In a few 19th-century texts, this transit was called the “illusion of the shadow,” meaning the lines between fantasy and reality get blurry, and what you think is powerful might actually be just smoke and mirrors.
• Ancient Eastern-style astrology sometimes viewed this clash as a “storm over sacred waters,” warning of spiritual teachers turning tricky, or sacred beliefs feeling threatened by change.
• There’s also an old notion that this transit can trigger loss of memory or strange déjà vu moments- small holes in reality, as though another world is leaking into yours.
• In some mid-century British astrology books, it’s called “the enchanter’s crisis”- a time when magic, hope, or faith can get twisted or become addictive, dominated by unseen power struggles you don’t notice at first.
• One rare interpretation called this transit a “charm unraveling,” where protections, routines, or rituals that once made you feel safe or lucky suddenly stop working or seem phony.
• Some sources claimed it was connected to “phantom alliances,” where people around you seem to change allegiance and loyalty, leaving you guessing who’s really on your team.

Experiencing This Transit

When Pluto makes a semisquare to your natal Neptune, things can get weird fast. It’s not a dramatic clash like Pluto square or opposition, but it’s definitely uncomfortable- like having a splinter you can’t quite see but really feel. The world might seem foggier, dreams become stronger (and stranger), and you could start noticing odd cravings or obsessions that don’t make much sense. Subtle power dynamics float up in your friendships or at work, and there’s this sense that everyone (including you) is hiding something. The energy isn’t super loud, but if you pay attention, you’ll pick up that something under the surface wants to shift.

Challenges During This Transit

• Confusion and Deception: It’s easy to get tricked by others or even by your own wishful thinking. You might trust the wrong people or end up believing in something just because you want it to be true, not because it actually is.
• Feeling Lost: Old goals or dreams suddenly seem pointless or too out of reach. You might feel unmoored- like your faith, spiritual practice, or creative inspiration is slipping away.
• Addictions or Escapism: Anything that’s been your comfort (food, Netflix, alcohol, old habits) could become more tempting now, especially if you’re looking for a way to tune out the unsettling vibes.
• Vague Fear or Anxiety: You might not know what you’re scared of, but you feel it anyway. Nightmares, paranoia, or just a general sense that something’s “off” can be part of the experience.
• Spiritual Disillusionment: If you’ve relied on a particular belief system or spiritual community, you could discover disappointing truths, hypocrisy, or just get bored or jaded with the whole thing.

Opportunities During This Transit

• Radical Self-Awareness: Pluto’s energy can help you peer into your subconscious. You might uncover why certain fantasies or fears have been driving you all along- and finally start to heal old wounds.
• Shedding Illusions: It can be painful to realize when you’ve been fooling yourself, but this transit is a great time to let go of dreams or beliefs that aren’t helping you grow.
• Creative Power: Your imagination is wild under this transit- so channel it! Art, writing, music, or even making vision boards can give structure to all the foggy feelings.
• Deeper Intuition: Even though things are confusing, you can tap into flashes of insight or gut feelings that feel more “right” than usual. Meditation or journaling can help you tune into this.
• Transforming Spiritual Practice: Out with the old- if your faith or spirituality is changing, use this time to experiment. Try new forms of meditation, different teachers, or explore philosophies you ignored before.
