Transit Uranus Sesquisquare Natal Pluto

Intense urge for radical change

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make drastic, impulsive life changes just because you’re feeling restless- it’s easy to regret decisions made in the heat of the moment.
• Avoid power struggles with authority figures or people in your life; this transit can make you more rebellious or stubborn, but it won’t help relationships.
• Try not to dig up old wounds just to provoke drama- this energy can make you want to shake things up, but sometimes it’s better to let things be.
• Don’t ignore safety or common sense if you feel like “breaking free”- this isn’t the time for risky stunts or reckless behavior.
• Avoid getting obsessed with control, whether it’s trying to control your environment, other people, or outcomes. The more you cling, the rougher this ride gets!
• Don’t hold on to things (situations, habits, relationships) that clearly aren’t working anymore- let them evolve instead of forcing them to stay the same.
• Try not to isolate yourself, even if you’re feeling misunderstood; support and perspective from others can keep you grounded.
• Avoid pushing huge secrets into the light before you’re truly ready; sudden revelations can have long-lasting effects during this transit.
• Don’t ignore your emotional reactions- brushing off intense feelings usually just makes them stronger later on.
• Steer clear of making ultimatums or giving “all or nothing” demands; Uranus-Pluto themes are intense enough already without extra pressure.

Do During This Transit

• Break old habits: This is the perfect time to shake off patterns or routines that just aren’t serving you anymore. If you’ve felt stuck, change things up.
• Embrace change: Uranus is the planet of surprise, so don’t run from change- welcome it. Try to see the positive side of things turning upside down.
• Reflect on personal power: Pluto is all about deep transformation. Think about where you give your power away, and take steps to own it again.
• Experiment with new perspectives: Challenge yourself to see situations in a totally different way, or try on a new belief just to see how it feels.
• Release control: Sometimes it’s just about letting go. If you’ve been gripping something too tightly, loosen up and see what happens.
• Do shadow work: Dive into self-reflection or therapy to look at your deeper fears or hang-ups. This is a great time for healing old wounds.
• Reinvent yourself: If there’s a part of your identity you’re bored with or that feels stale, make some bold changes.
• Pursue a passion project: Start something exciting and a little rebellious, especially if it scares you in a good way.
• Let go of toxic relationships: If someone’s bringing you down or controlling you, stand up for your freedom and set boundaries.
• Stay open to surprises: Life’s about to throw you a few curveballs. Stay curious and flexible, and you might end up somewhere even better than you planned.

What’s interesting about this transit?

When Uranus makes a sesquisquare (that’s a 135° angle) to your natal Pluto, you’re in rare territory. Most modern astrology glosses over this minor aspect, but if you dig into older astrological texts, you’ll find some pretty quirky and obscure interpretations:

• Disturbance of Hidden Forces: Some Renaissance astrologers believed this transit could “stir the restless spirits,” as in digging up long-buried secrets, not just in you, but also in your family or ancestors.
• Alchemical Agitation: Old European almanacs saw this combo as the “glass shatterer,” an inner agitation that shakes up everything you thought was stable- almost like starting a personal revolution in how you deal with power or taboo subjects.
• “Unveiling of the Shadowed Gate”: Ancient Middle Eastern astrologers mentioned this as a time when “the hidden gates swing open,” meaning your subconscious throws out stuff you haven’t thought about in years, sometimes in dreams or random flashes.
• The Outlaw’s Spur: Some rare Victorian sources say this creates a tendency to rebel against anything that feels controlling, even if it’s for your own good, describing it as “the sudden overturning of the stern father’s rule.”
• Mystical Loop “Binding and Releasing”: A few obscure manuscript translations suggest this transit can pull you back into old patterns, only to throw you out again with more force- like breaking free from chains you didn’t know you still had.

Experiencing This Transit

So, what does it actually feel like when Uranus forms a sesquisquare to your natal Pluto? This isn’t a chill, easy-going time. It’s high-voltage energy lighting up places you usually keep hidden. It often arrives with a sense that something’s about to break, shift, or be set free, especially around control, power, taboo topics, or big secrets- sometimes yours, sometimes from people close to you. You might feel both resistant and suddenly hungry for change at once. It can be weird, jarring, and oddly exciting, all at the same time.

Challenges during this transit

• Rebellion that Backfires: You might feel the urge to challenge authority- bosses, parents, or even old inner rules- sometimes just for the sake of it. But acting too fast can make things messier.
• Obsessive Thoughts: Pluto rules your deepest drives, so you could end up fixating on a goal or idea, even if it’s not helpful. It can feel like your brain’s stuck on loop, bringing up old fears or resentments.
• Power Struggles: This transit can bring up battles of will, especially if you or people around you are afraid of change. You might feel like people are trying to control you- or you might find yourself trying to control them.
• Unexpected Loss or Disruptions: Uranus is unpredictable, so things might break down: relationships, plans, tech, your sense of how stuff “should” be. Letting go isn’t easy when you feel like you have to control the outcome.

Opportunities during this transit

• Shaking Loose Old Baggage: If you’ve been carrying old fears, grudges, or secrets, this is a pretty good time to face them head-on and let some of them go. You could suddenly realize you don’t care about something that used to bother you a lot.
• Creative Breakthroughs: If you do anything creative, you might get wild, edgy ideas that break all your previous patterns. This is a perfect time to try a new style or throw out all your old rules.
• Radical Self-Understanding: If you’re into therapy or self-reflection, things can click in a way they never did before. Suddenly, parts of your personality or history make sense- and you can move forward more freely.
• Freedom from Toxic Control: You could finally break free from someone or something that’s held power over you for way too long. Even if it’s scary or weird at first, it can set you up for more genuine freedom later.
• Transforming Your Social World: Sometimes, these shifts push you into new circles, new causes, or new friendships with people who are just as into changing things up as you are.
