Transit Pluto Sextile Natal Moon

Emotional empowerment boost!

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your emotions – trying to bottle things up or pretend you’re not feeling anything can backfire during this transit.
• Avoid stubbornly holding onto old hurts or grudges. Pluto wants you to transform and release baggage, not cling to it.
• Try not to manipulate or control loved ones emotionally, even if you’re feeling extra intense or sensitive right now.
• Don’t rush into big emotional decisions or changes; instead, let things unfold naturally as your feelings evolve.
• Steer clear of drama or power struggles in your close relationships, especially with family or people you live with.
• Don’t suppress deep insights or realizations that come up – face them, but don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much at once.
• Avoid escapism, like turning to bad habits to numb your feelings, rather than dealing with what comes up honestly.
• Don’t isolate yourself completely, even if you want more privacy – safe, supportive connections can really help you grow during this time.
• Stay away from making promises you’re not ready to keep, especially when it comes to emotional commitments.
• Don’t downplay the need for self-care; stress and intense emotions need healthy outlets, not neglect.

Do During This Transit

• Explore your feelings- this is a great time to dig deep and understand your emotions better.
• Start therapy or counseling- you’ll probably get big results working through old stuff now.
• Work on healing family relationships or old wounds from your past.
• Let go of emotional baggage that’s been weighing you down.
• Open up to trusted friends or family about your true feelings.
• Strengthen emotional bonds with people you care about.
• Try out meditation, journaling, or creative activities that help you process your feelings.
• Make changes at home to create a more peaceful and powerful space for yourself.
• Pay attention to your intuition- your gut instincts are stronger during this transit.
• Embrace change and transformation around how you care for yourself emotionally.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Old astrology texts sometimes called this a “midwife transit,” suggesting hidden emotional truths are quietly born into your life, but without the drama you’d expect from Pluto.
• Some ancient astrologers believed Pluto’s gentle aspect to the Moon brings dreams filled with messages from ancestors or distant family spirits.
• There’s an obscure Renaissance-era interpretation where this transit was supposed to make buried family secrets surface gently, almost by accident, in everyday conversation.
• Certain older sources said it could prompt you to “fall in love with the darker side” of your own emotions, kind of like finding beauty in things you usually hide or avoid.
• It’s noted in a few early 20th-century books that this transit can spark fascination with herbal medicine, underground springs, caves, or the deep sea- all places the Moon and Pluto were said to rule together!
• Some ancient practitioners believed you’d get the urge to clean attics, cellars, or forgotten drawers- finding lost keepsakes that are emotionally important but long buried.
• A medieval text mentioned that, during this transit, people often hear songs or melodies that trigger very old memories, leading to subtle but important shifts in the way you see your past.

Experiencing This Transit

When Pluto makes a sextile to your natal Moon, it’s like being gently nudged to dig a little deeper into your feelings, your family stories, and even your childhood. But unlike the square or opposition, this vibe isn’t harsh. It’s more like someone shining a flashlight into the corners of your heart and saying, “Hey, you might want to check this out!” You might notice your reactions to stuff are stronger than usual, like feeling suddenly nostalgic or a little more aware of what you truly need from other people. This transit works best if you’re open to discovering something new about yourself- even the parts you usually keep tucked away.

Challenges during this transit

• You might suddenly remember stuff from your past that you thought you’d forgotten- sometimes these memories can feel strange or unexpectedly powerful.
• It can sometimes be tricky to explain your feelings to others right now; you might know exactly what you feel, but get tongue-tied when you try to talk about it.
• Some people notice intense dreams or even nightmares, which can be a little unsettling and sometimes leave you feeling “off” when you wake up.
• Your closest relationships (family, housemates, or even close friends) might feel more intense. Old emotional patterns can bubble up, like suddenly realizing you’re acting just like your mom or uncle in some situation.
• This transit can make you crave more alone time, so group activities or big social events might feel kind of draining.

Opportunities during this transit

• It’s usually much easier than usual to let go of old hurts. If there’s some emotional baggage you’ve been carrying (even stuff from years ago), you might just be ready to say, “OK, I’m done with this.”
• This is an awesome transit for therapy, journaling, or deep, honest talks with trusted folks. You can really get to the bottom of things now- without it feeling super heavy or overwhelming.
• Your intuition is on fire during this time. You just “know” what you need, what you want, and who you can trust- in a way that’s quietly confident.
• Creative stuff comes more easily, especially if it involves emotions or memories: writing, music, art, or even just making a playlist for yourself can feel really healing.
• If there’s been family drama or unresolved stuff, this is a good window for forgiveness or understanding. The Pluto sextile helps people let go of grudges and see things from a wider perspective.
• You might discover new emotional strengths- maybe you’ve always been the “sensitive one,” but now you realize how being tuned in to others is actually a superpower.
