Avoid During Transit Pluto Square Uranus
- Don’t make huge, impulsive life changes just for the sake of rebellion. This transit can make you crave freedom, but rash decisions could backfire.
- Avoid picking fights with authority figures or getting into power struggles, especially if it’s just to prove a point.
- Try not to ignore or bottle up intense emotions. Letting things build up can lead to explosive reactions.
- Stay away from risky or extreme behaviors, whether that’s physically, financially, or emotionally. This isn’t the time for gambling or dangerous stunts.
- Don’t overcommit to radical or untested ideas. Experimentation is fine, but make sure you have a plan and backup.
- Be careful not to burn bridges with friends or groups, even if you feel misunderstood or restless. Temporary feelings can cause long-term rifts.
- Don’t assume you’re always right, even if you’re feeling really certain. Stay open to other perspectives and avoid being stubborn.
- Avoid neglecting your self-care. Stress can run high now, so don’t skip out on sleep, meals, or relaxation.
- Steer clear of trying to control everything or everyone- accept some unpredictability and go with the flow when you can.
- Don’t ignore your intuition. If something seems too risky or off, listen to that inner voice before diving in.
To Do During Transit Pluto Square Uranus
- Get ready for change! This is a powerful time to break old habits and outgrown routines.
- Experiment with new ideas, technologies, or ways of doing things.
- Embrace your unique side and let your individuality shine.
- Don’t hold onto the past- use any “shake-ups” as chances to grow.
- Work through feelings of rebellion by making healthy changes instead of just resisting authority.
- Join groups or communities that support creative thinking and innovation.
- Challenge yourself to look at your life and beliefs from a totally new angle.
- Allow space for breakthroughs- sometimes those “aha!” moments come out of nowhere.
- Stay open-minded about your future, even if things feel unsettled right now.
- Practice grounding activities like exercise, meditation, or time in nature to manage stress.
- Be honest with yourself about what needs to transform in your life, even if it feels drastic.
What’s Interesting About Transit Pluto Square Uranus?
- Unusual Psychic Surges: According to “The Astrological Aspects” by Charles E.O. Carter (1967), this transit could bring odd psychic premonitions or sudden, inexplicable insights. Carter suggests this isn’t the ordinary intuition but something that might feel like flashes from another dimension. People during this transit might experience prophetic dreams or mental impressions that seem to come out of nowhere.
- Tension with Technology & Energy Currents: In “Astrology of Personality” by Dane Rudhyar (1936), Rudhyar mentions that when Pluto squares Uranus, there can be a struggle with electrical objects or energies in the environment. People might notice more frequent issues with gadgets, cars, or even streetlights flickering as they walk by. It’s as if the personal electromagnetic field is disrupted.
- Sudden Attraction to Social Subcultures: In Grant Lewi’s “Heaven Knows What” (1941), he writes that this transit can spur a strong and sudden interest in unorthodox or fringe social groups. It might push people to question societal norms and even seek out underground movements or form alliances with outcasts.
- Unusual Health Phenomena: Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson in “Simplified Technique of Prediction” (1960) describes cases where this transit brought about strange or hard-to-diagnose health events, like inexplicable allergies or brief periods of insomnia. It’s like the body’s energetic wiring gets scrambled for a bit.
- Breakdown and Rebuilding of Thought Patterns: Ronald C. Davison, in “The Technique of Prediction” (1955), notes a mental shake-up. People might suddenly break away from old belief systems overnight and adopt completely new worldviews- almost like a mental earthquake. Ideas that once seemed stable might feel suddenly irrelevant.
- Obsessive Compulsion Toward Invention: In Joseph Blagrave’s “Astrological Practice of Physick” (1942 reprint), this square was thought to spark a highly obsessive drive to invent something or solve a perplexing technical problem, often leading to sleepless nights spent tinkering with half-finished ideas- sometimes resulting in actual breakthroughs, but more often just restlessness.
- Clashing Generational Issues: Sepharial, in “The Manual of Astrology” (1936 edition), points out that Pluto square Uranus brings clashes between generations in families and society. Unspoken power struggles between older and younger family members can come to the surface, often triggered by seemingly minor events.
Experiencing Transit Pluto Square Uranus
When Pluto squares your natal Uranus, your life can start to feel like it’s being thrown into a blender- everything’s up for grabs, and nothing stays put for long. This is a “wake up or get shaken up” kind of vibe. There may be moments of surprise, sudden breakdowns, chaos, and wild urges to break free from whatever feels fake or forced. It’s intense, unpredictable, and definitely not boring.
Challenges during Transit Pluto Square Uranus
- Sudden Upheavals: Life might suddenly throw stuff at you- like a once-stable job dissolving or a friendship blowing up for no clear reason. You’re forced to deal with things you never saw coming, and it can feel pretty unfair or overwhelming.
- Rebellion for Its Own Sake: You might feel restless, ready to rebel against anything that smells like control or authority- even if it’s not actually bad for you. Careful with impulsive choices, like quitting school or telling off your boss just to make a point.
- Power Struggles: Pluto’s intensity can amp up conflicts, especially with people who have some kind of power over you. You might clash hard with parents, teachers, managers, or even groups you belong to.
- Anxiety and Nervous Energy: Uranus can make you jittery, with sleep problems or sudden mood swings. You might feel like you can’t relax or like you’re always waiting for the next shoe to drop.
- Technological Chaos: Electrical or tech problems can be weirdly common now. Expect your computer to glitch out, important files to vanish, or email blowups out of nowhere.
Opportunities during Transit Pluto Square Uranus
- Total Reinvention: Because this transit shreds routines and expectations, you can make dramatic, positive life changes if you harness the energy right. Maybe you finally break out of a toxic relationship, move to a dream city, or change careers to something that’s truly “you.”
- Creative Genius: The crackling energy between Pluto and Uranus can spark brilliant new ideas- especially if you’re into art, tech, music, or activism. Weird thoughts and “wild card” intuition are big assets now.
- Breaking Generational Patterns: If family baggage has been dragging you down, now’s your moment to smash old patterns. You could be the one who finally says, “This stops with me.”
- Sudden Freedom: If you’ve felt stuck or imprisoned in a job or routine, this transit can bust down the doors. You might find the courage to quit what’s draining you and take a risk that pays off big in the long run.
- Deeper Understanding of Yourself: The chaos forces you to look at the real “you”- not just the version that keeps everyone else happy. Old fears and blocks come up so you can finally deal with them. It might not be comfortable, but it’s liberating.
