Empowered transformation boost
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Pluto Sextile Pluto transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t ignore deep emotions- Pluto stirs up stuff you’ve buried, so pretending everything’s fine won’t work.
- Don’t resist change- this transit supports transforming your life, so don’t cling too hard to the old ways.
- Don’t get obsessed with control- it’s easy to want control now, but it can cause power struggles with others.
- Don’t avoid self-reflection- it’s a time to go deep, so pushing away self-examination might block your growth.
- Don’t engage in manipulative behavior- trying to manipulate others, even in small ways, can backfire badly.
- Don’t be afraid to let go of what’s not working- hanging onto toxic relationships, habits, or patterns is not the move.
- Don’t dismiss subtle opportunities- sometimes, change comes quietly; ignoring them means you might miss out.
- Don’t overcommit to too many projects- it’s better to focus on a few important things rather than spreading yourself thin.
- Don’t isolate yourself- Pluto sextile Pluto can help you connect with like-minded people for mutual growth, so don’t shut people out.
Do During This Transit
- Work on personal growth – This is a powerful time to make changes within yourself. If you’ve been wanting to transform a habit or mindset, it’ll come easier now.
- Let go of old baggage – Toss out grudges or fears that have held you back. You’ll find it simpler to release the past during this transit.
- Heal emotionally – If there’s any emotional healing you’ve been avoiding, now’s the time. Therapy or self-reflection can go deep and be extra effective.
- Strengthen your willpower – You’ll notice an increase in your determination to reach your goals, so it’s a good time to tackle tough projects.
- Embrace transformation – Make positive changes – whether it’s a new routine, a change in attitude, or even a physical transformation. The energy supports it.
- Face your fears – Don’t shy away from things that scare you. Pluto sextiles help you confront and work through fears in a healthy way.
- Dive into research – If you need to uncover hidden truths or do any detective work, this transit helps you get to the bottom of things.
- Help others – You might notice you’re really good at helping others change now, too, so support friends or family who are going through their own transformations.
- Build strong boundaries – It’s a great time to set or reinforce boundaries in relationships where you need more respect or space.
- Tap into your intuition – Trust your gut more than usual. You’ll be able to sense what needs to change, both in yourself and your surroundings.
What’s interesting about this transit?
- Old texts sometimes called this aspect “the silent handshake,” hinting at unseen support and quiet alliances forming beneath the surface of your life.
- Some Renaissance astrologers believed Pluto sextile Pluto marked the uncovering of “ancestral powers”- gifts or strengths hidden in your family line that come out now.
- In obscure 19th century writings, this transit was said to be “Dawn’s Invitation”- an inner call to accept changes you’ve always resisted, as if fate is finally cut a deal with you.
- Certain esoteric sources suggested this aspect is like “two Plutos nodding in agreement,” giving you a rare chance to make peace with your shadow self or something dark from your past.
- Some alchemical texts connected this transit to the process of distillation, where your experiences get broken down and refined, leaving behind a kind of ‘spiritual gold’- wisdom from old pain or tough lessons.
Experiencing This Transit
Pluto sextile natal Pluto isn’t usually dramatic- think of it like a deep, slow-moving tide. Stuff under the surface shifts around, but not in a way that really rocks your boat. Instead, it quietly pushes you to transform old habits and outlooks, but in a supportive and less stressful way than most Pluto transits.
You might feel like you’re finally ready to deal with things you used to avoid. Old junk, old pain, or maybe a secret dream- all of these can come up, but it won’t feel chaotic. It’s almost like the universe is giving you a nudge in the right direction, but gently.
This transit doesn’t happen too often and usually comes when you’re a bit older, so it can feel like you’re getting a second shot at personal growth or that you’re unlocking a new level of maturity.
Challenges during this transit
- Pushing yourself to dig deeper. Even though the energy is more helpful, you’ve still got to face some uncomfortable truths about yourself.
- Letting go of old grudges or habits. Pluto might show you where you’re stuck, and it won’t always be easy to just release what’s familiar.
- Feeling restless or a low-key desire for change. You may sense that something needs to shift in your life, but it’s not always clear what or how.
- A sense of nostalgia or revisiting the past. You might find yourself thinking about old choices, relationships, or mistakes and feeling the urge to make peace with them, which isn’t always comfortable.
Opportunities during this transit
- Major self-improvement with less drama. It’s like you finally have the tools to change something, and you’re more open to doing the work.
- Finding strength in your roots. You might discover hidden gifts, talents, or wisdom from your family or your own past that helps you now.
- Building long-term strategies for change. It’s a good time to set goals about healing, personal growth, or even finances- anything you want to last.
- Forgiving old hurts. It actually feels doable to move past an old problem, addiction, or emotional baggage.
- Helping others transform. You could find yourself in a position to support friends or family through their transformations, offering advice and patience you didn’t have before.
