Avoid During Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto
- Don’t ignore deep or uncomfortable feelings- trying to bury them now can make things worse later on.
- Avoid getting into power struggles or trying to control others. It’s best not to force your way right now.
- Try not to quit major commitments or toss out long-term goals impulsively- even if things feel intense.
- Don’t hold onto grudges or let resentments build up- pluto transits can bring old stuff to the surface, so don’t pretend it’s not there.
- Stay away from risky behavior or any kind of self-destructive habits. It’s easy to get pulled into extreme stuff during this transit.
- Don’t resist needed changes just because they’re scary. Transformation is the name of the game, so putting it off won’t help.
- Try not to cut people out of your life just to avoid dealing with problems. You might want space, but burning bridges isn’t the answer.
- Don’t obsess over things you can’t control- Pluto loves to dig, but sometimes it’s best to let go and move on.
- Skip making big, permanent decisions if you’re acting out of fear or anger. Let things settle first.
- Don’t isolate yourself, even if it feels tough to open up. You don’t have to go through intense times alone.
To Do During Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto
- Take a deep look at your habits and patterns- it’s a good time for honest self-reflection, even the stuff that’s uncomfortable.
- Let go of grudges or old emotional baggage; think about what you’re ready to release so you can move forward.
- Dive into personal development, like therapy, journaling, or reading about self-growth.
- Embrace changes, especially the ones you can’t control. Flexibility will help you ride out any turbulence.
- Figure out what power means to you- notice where you give away your power and where you can reclaim it.
- Reevaluate your long-term goals. Pluto loves transformations, so it’s a chance to see if you need to change course.
- Work through any fears or anxieties rather than avoiding them. Facing them head-on can really help right now.
- Declutter your surroundings or digital life. Out with the old, in with the new energy.
- Pay attention to recurring themes or situations; these are signs for what needs your focus during this time.
- Stay open to deep, meaningful conversations- even if they’re intense. You’re more likely to find hidden truths now.
What’s Interesting About Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto?
- Heightened Suspicion and Paranoia: According to Astrological Aspects- A Process-Oriented Approach by Dane Rudhyar (1966), a Pluto sesquisquare can bring out hidden suspicions or a subtle form of paranoia about one’s place in the greater world. Individuals might sense conspiracies or feel watched, even if nothing tangible triggers this alertness.
- Obsession with Ancestry or Past Lives: In The Pulse of Life by Dane Rudhyar (1942), this aspect is said to sometimes nudge people to become unusually fixated on their roots, family history, or even esoteric ideas about reincarnation and karmic debts.
- Underground Movements or Secret Societies: In The Astrologer’s Handbook by Sakoian & Acker (1973), the Pluto sesquisquare is described as a period when interest in the hidden machinations of secret organizations or “underground” social groups can surface, often sparking increased involvement or withdrawal.
- Emergence of Hidden Fears About Death: In The Geometry of Meaning by Alexander Ruperti (1969), there’s a note that this transit might unpredictably awaken anxieties or philosophical brooding about mortality- not always dramatic, but persistent in the background of thought.
- Mental Alchemy: Subtle Shifts in Perspective: Marc Edmund Jones, in Essays in Astrology (1947), mentions that sesquisquares involving Pluto can trigger a period of “mental alchemy”- where a person finds their old opinions and thought patterns being subtly uprooted, causing discomfort but also sparking creativity or transformation.
- Difficulty Letting Go of Power Dynamics: From Astrology and the Modern Psyche by Richard Idemon (1980), this transit might stir up old struggles with authority or power, even in relationships that seem stable. It can lead to obsessing over small power imbalances or miscommunications, struggling to release control.
- Echoes of Collective History: Isabel Hickey comments in Astrology: A Cosmic Science (1970) that Pluto sesquisquares rarely act on a “personal” level only; sometimes they make us feel the weight of collective trauma- like world events or family patterns echoing in current emotions or dreams.
- Strange Encounters with Fate: In The Astrological Mandala by Dane Rudhyar (1973), a brief mention is made that odd, fated experiences- unexpected meetings, sudden endings, or eerie coincidences- can spike during this transit, giving life a surreal or predestined feeling for a while.
Experiencing Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto
When Pluto forms a sesquisquare (that’s a 135° angle, sometimes called a “sesquiquadrate”) to your natal Pluto, you might not get the full drama of a square or opposition, but it still packs a punch. It’s like a quiet, uncomfortable nudge- you can’t ignore it, but it doesn’t always announce itself loudly. You might start noticing things bubbling up from deep inside, even if you can’t quite put your finger on what’s bothering you at first.
During this transit, you’re dealing with uncomfortable truths. There’s a push to face certain patterns or habits that keep emerging in your life, especially ones related to power, control, and your own personal shadows. You might feel restless, like there’s an energy inside you trying to break out, or an itch you can’t quite scratch. It’s a time for digging, even if that means facing some things you hoped you’d never have to deal with again.
Challenges during Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto
- You could find yourself obsessing over things that didn’t bother you before- old grudges, power struggles (even with yourself), or fears about change and losing control.
- There can be an extra edge to your relationships, especially with people who remind you of your past or family. You might re-experience challenges or resentments you thought you’d moved past.
- Old, buried emotions can show up- sometimes in dreams, sometimes in small everyday frustrations, like getting disproportionately upset about something trivial.
- It’s common to feel like you’re taking two steps forward and one step back with personal growth. Things you thought you’d healed can suddenly feel raw again.
- Some folks get this overwhelming feeling that something major is about to happen, but it doesn’t- just a simmering unease that makes it hard to relax.
Opportunities during Transit Pluto Sesquisquare Pluto
- This is a great time for shadow work- journaling, therapy, or any process where you dig deep into your own motivations and fears. You might finally understand a pattern that’s held you back for years.
- If you’re creative, expect big breakthroughs. Those weird dreams or odd ideas can inspire powerful art, writing, or music.
- You can let go of old emotional baggage now- maybe for the first time, you’re really ready to release something heavy you’ve carried for too long.
- You might find new strength in vulnerability, opening up about things you usually hide. This can deepen relationships in unexpected ways.
- If you’re stuck in a rut, this transit shakes things up just enough for real change. It might not feel comfortable, but you’ll look back and see it was just what you needed.
