Transit Uranus Square Natal Pluto

Radical Power Struggles

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make huge, risky life changes impulsively- this transit brings sudden, disruptive energy, so wait until things settle before making big decisions.
• Avoid power struggles or trying to control others- Uranus and Pluto together can make conflicts way more intense than usual.
• Try not to ignore your stress- bottling stuff up could lead to outbursts or feeling overwhelmed.
• Refrain from making financial gambles or risky investments- unpredictable energy can mess with your plans.
• Don’t resist change altogether, but don’t try to force transformation either- balance is key since both planets push for change in different ways.
• Stay away from shady or manipulative people- this transit can attract power games and unhealthy relationships.
• Don’t lash out at authority figures- the urge to rebel is strong, but it could backfire.
• Avoid ignoring your intuition- if something feels off, pay attention.
• Don’t stay in situations that are making you feel trapped, but don’t bolt without a plan.
• Skip overexposing yourself to stressful environments if you can help it- your nerves might be more sensitive now.

Do During This Transit

• Stay open to big changes, even the ones you don’t see coming.
• Question your old habits and patterns- this is a perfect time to break free from what’s holding you back.
• Embrace new ideas, even if they feel uncomfortable or radical at first.
• Work on letting go of control- try not to force things to go your way.
• Focus on personal transformation, like therapy, journaling, or other self-discovery tools.
• Find healthy ways to express intense feelings, like exercise, art, or talking things out.
• Experiment with new routines or projects, especially anything that makes you feel more authentic.
• Be ready to change direction if you realize something isn’t working anymore.
• Connect with communities or groups that inspire you to grow or think differently.
• Practice patience and flexibility- these months might be intense, but they can really help you evolve for the better.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old astrology texts say that Uranus squaring Pluto can spark “hermetic awakenings”- meaning you might suddenly become interested in mysterious, hidden knowledge, like alchemy, secret societies, or the occult sciences, without really knowing why.
• Medieval sources mention that under this transit, inheritances or family secrets often come out in shocking ways. Sometimes this isn’t about money at all, but about long-held emotional secrets or betrayals suddenly being revealed.
• Older astrologers sometimes warned this transit could make someone “susceptible to stormy weather on journeys abroad,” a metaphor for unexpected trouble during travel- especially if your trip is meant to change your life or heal the past.
• Certain Renaissance texts suggested this transit could make someone attract intense, eccentric people who challenge the order in their lives- sometimes described as “meeting the thunder thief” (a reference to Uranus stealing fire from the gods).
• Some rare interpretations linked this transit to a rise in vivid dreams about volcanoes, earthquakes, or storms- basically, the subconscious starts using wild earth metaphors to work something out, hinting at a deep psychological upheaval.
• There’s also an idea from Eastern astrology that this transit brings about a period where the “roots of the soul” are shaken, causing you to question old ancestral patterns, customs, and even break away from a collective mindset.

Experiencing This Transit

Uranus square to your natal Pluto isn’t gentle. It’s like two wild celestial forces clashing and lighting up your whole internal world. Uranus wants sudden change, freedom, and awakening; Pluto wants deep transformation and uncovering the truth, even if it’s a bit messy. When these planets square up, you might find yourself going through intense, unpredictable shifts- inside and out. What used to feel steady suddenly doesn’t feel right anymore. Habits, power dynamics, beliefs, or relationships that once gave you comfort might start to feel tight and suffocating.

You could notice a strong urge to break free, rebel, or burn something outdated to the ground- something in your life just doesn’t fit who you’re becoming. At the same time, issues around control, trust, or power are triggered (sometimes by other people’s shocking behavior, or surprising events that turn up out of nowhere). All this can create a sense of pressure and restlessness, like you’re standing on the edge of a major life shake-up.

Challenges during this transit

• Power Struggles: Suddenly, authority figures, family members, or partners might want to control your choices, or you might notice you’re digging your heels in and not wanting to compromise. Fights can get intense fast.
• Breakdowns in Routine: Your usual ways of doing things- work, relationships, even your daily schedule- can break down or get interrupted by weird, unexpected circumstances.
• Obsessive Thoughts or Fears: Old anxieties can bubble up, especially around losing control or facing something you thought you’d left in the past.
• Sudden Endings: Friendships, jobs, or commitments might fall apart with little warning, often as a result of dramatic, unpredictable events.
• Feeling Misunderstood: You might feel like no one “gets” the changes you’re trying to make, or like you’re growing in a totally new direction alone.

Opportunities during this transit

• Radical Self-Awareness: You get a chance to see yourself- and your shadow- more clearly. Surprises reveal hidden patterns that are finally ready to be changed.
• Letting Go and Liberating Yourself: It’s the perfect time to walk away from what’s outlived its shelf life, even if it feels dramatic. By releasing old roles or relationships, you make space for something real.
• Renewed Passion: These storms can help you reconnect with what genuinely excites you- even if it means starting over somewhere unexpected, or following a weird, new interest.
• Inventive Solutions to Old Problems: This transit is restless. If you’ve felt stuck for years, you might finally see a way out, or figure out something totally new that works, especially when it comes to personal transformation or big life questions.
• Deep Healing from Facing the Truth: Once secrets or old issues pop up, you get the chance to face them and let healing in, instead of stuffing it all down. In the long run, this can help you live with more authenticity and less fear.
