Supercharged growth spurt
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Pluto Sextile Jupiter transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t overestimate your luck – just because things feel easier doesn’t mean you should take wild risks.
- Avoid getting involved in shady deals or anything that seems too good to be true.
- Don’t promise more than you can deliver, even if you feel confident you’ll pull it off.
- Try not to get obsessed with winning or coming out on top all the time.
- Resist the urge to lecture others or force your beliefs on them.
- Don’t overlook the details – sometimes big-picture thinking can make you miss something important.
- Avoid running away from responsibilities in the name of “freedom” or “growth.”
- Don’t take your good fortune for granted – stay humble and grateful.
- Watch out for overindulgence, whether it’s food, spending money, or partying.
Do During This Transit
- Go after big goals. This is an awesome time to aim higher. If you’ve got dreams or long-term plans, start working on them now. You’ll probably have more luck and confidence.
- Expand your knowledge. Dive into learning something new- maybe take a course, start a new hobby, or read about stuff that interests you. Your mind’s open to deeper understanding during this transit.
- Travel or explore. If you get the chance, travel somewhere new- or at least do something that gets you out of your usual routine. Even mental or spiritual adventures count.
- Invest in your future. This is a good moment for planning your long-term finances, career, or personal growth. Strategic moves now can pay off later.
- Be generous. Help others, donate to a cause you care about, or just share your good mood and energy with friends. Good vibes you put out now often come back to you doubled.
- Connect with powerful people. You might find it easier to meet mentors, influential folks, or wise friends. Reach out and make those connections- they can help you grow.
- Trust your instincts. Your intuition or “gut feelings” will probably be sharper right now. If something feels right, go for it.
- Transform your beliefs. If you’ve been holding onto limiting ideas about yourself, this is the moment to let them go and embrace a stronger, more optimistic outlook.
- Celebrate your progress. Notice how far you’ve come, and take some time to pat yourself on the back. Growth happens in stages, and now’s a good time to recognize it.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- A Special Window for Mentorships: According to Dane Rudhyar’s “The Astrology of Transformation” (1978), Pluto sextile Jupiter can open you up to rare mentorship opportunities. He says this aspect sometimes pushes people to seek wisdom from “hidden teachers” or sudden encounters with guides who bring depth and expansion together in your life.
- A Boost for Immersive Study: Isabel M. Hickey in “Astrology: A Cosmic Science” (1970) wrote that this transit can help you become deeply engrossed in philosophical or occult subjects, with learning coming much easier than usual- almost as if you’re blessed with a secret key to ancient knowledge.
- Wealth Through Transformation: Grant Lewi in “Astrology for the Millions” (1940) mentions that Pluto-Jupiter sextiles can bring unexpected financial boosts tied to a change in attitude or lifestyle, not just through luck, but almost like some inner shift unlocks outward rewards.
- Chance for Positive Power Plays: Sasportas in “The Gods of Change: Pain, Crisis and the Transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto” (1989) points out this is a great time for collaborative power- where working in a group or partnership toward a big goal can produce surprisingly harmonious results, even with strong personalities involved.
- Expansion of Rituals and Mysticism: Marc Edmund Jones in “Horary Astrology and the Judgment of Events” (1943) describes this transit as a period when ceremonial magic or ritualistic behavior becomes much more potent and effective- if that’s your thing, he says results can be dramatic but positive.
- Forging of a “Secret Society” Connection: Robert Hand in “Planets in Transit” (1976) says Pluto sextile Jupiter sometimes coincides with invitations or connections to obscure or exclusive circles- think mysterious study groups, secret societies, or at least circles with shared deep interests.
- Inheritances of Knowledge and Resources: Charles Carter in “The Astrological Aspects” (1960) notes that this aspect can sometimes signify receiving a literal or metaphorical inheritance, especially knowledge, manuscripts, or treasured objects from someone outside your usual sphere.
- Smoothing Out Old Karma: Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson in “Simplified Scientific Astrology” (1963) writes that Pluto sextile Jupiter gives a chance to “settle up old debts”- not just physical, but psychic or spiritual ones, where you might feel inspired to resolve issues from the past in a big-hearted way.
- An Obscure Boost to Physical Energy: Marc Jones mentions in his 1941 lectures that people sometimes feel a marked uptick in bodily strength or resilience, especially if they’ve been studying or practicing some mind-body technique (like yoga or martial arts).
Experiencing This Transit
When Pluto forms a sextile aspect to your natal Jupiter, it’s like you’re getting a subtle but powerful boost where luck, deep transformation, and growth connect. It doesn’t happen often, so when it does, the changes you make (or the opportunities that come up) can really last.
You might notice yourself diving deeper into questions about life, wanting to figure out “big picture” stuff, or starting to see big improvements in areas that were blocked before. It’s like the universe sets up hidden passageways, and you finally have the key to open a few doors.
Challenges during this transit
- Overdoing It: With Jupiter’s urge to expand and Pluto’s deep, sometimes obsessive drive, it’s easy to bite off more than you can chew- over-committing, over-promising, or stretching your resources too thin. For example, you might dive headfirst into a business or personal project that “feels right” at the moment, only to realize later that you really needed a better plan.
- Power Plays Disguised as Help: Sometimes, someone might offer you a “helping hand” or an opportunity that looks generous but actually comes with strings attached. It could feel like a mentor or influential person is trying to “open doors,” but you may sense there’s a hidden agenda.
- Restlessness with the Status Quo: This energy can make you feel kind of bored or impatient with routines, rules, or authorities. That’s fine, but it can cause you to rebel or reject something before you’ve got another plan in place.
- Confronting What You Believe: You could find yourself challenged about your core beliefs- maybe someone questions your worldview, or you realize an old philosophy just isn’t working anymore. It can feel unsettling but might also push you to transform your perspective in a healthy way.
Opportunities during this transit
- Major Breakthroughs: This is the time to tackle big goals- especially ones you’ve put off because they seemed too intimidating before. If you’ve wanted to go back to school, start writing a book, launch a business, move abroad, or just break an unhealthy habit, now’s when you could actually pull it off with staying power.
- Networking and Influential Connections: There’s a real chance of meeting powerful people or joining groups that can change your life. Think: getting invited to an exclusive community, or connecting with a mentor who truly “gets” what you’re about.
- Transformative Travel or Learning: You might find an opportunity to travel somewhere that totally opens your eyes (physically or mentally). Or maybe you’ll get exposed to a new spiritual practice, philosophy, or teaching that helps you grow.
- Clearing Out the Old: This transit can help you finally let go of outdated beliefs, habits, or “self-imposed limits.” You might find yourself able to forgive someone, shed old guilt, or experiment without fear.
- Luck from Depth, Not Chance: Maybe your hard work and deep digging finally readies you for a “lucky break”- like you uncover a research topic just before it becomes mainstream, or someone finds your art or writing at just the right time. It’s often your willingness to go a little deeper (mentally, emotionally, or literally) that attracts good fortune.
- Empowering Others: You’ll have a chance to help others along their journey, too- maybe by sharing your story or teaching something you’ve learned. Usually, the good you do comes back in bigger ways later!
