Transiting
Neptune to Pluto
I
know a bit about astrology, but have not been able to find a satisfactory
explanation of combination of transits that are now occurring
in my chart. Neptune is transiting my ascendant and Pluto in my
chart sits on my descendant, so they are in exact opposition.
This is a slow-moving influence, and websites call it "generational."
Do you know how this opposition might play out in my life and
evolution?
While
it is true that the opposition from transiting Neptune to natal
Pluto is generational, it is still a powerful and life changing
event. I disagree with certain astrologers who claim that the
"generational" transits are limited in their effect
on personal charts. While it is true that these transits are affecting
a large group of people at the same time, the effect of the transit
is still a powerful one.
That being said, this transit is especially powerful for you because
it falls on the angles of your birthchart. Pluto in your chart
is "angular", it lies on the cusp of the seventh house
(the descendant), opposing the ascendant. Pluto deals with issues
of power, and on the asc/desc axis these power issues will play
out primarily in relationships with others.
Therefore, the transit of Neptune over your ascendant will aspect
not only Pluto but the asc/desc axis as well. Transits of outer
planets over any of the angles tend to produce major shifts in
the life of an individual. Neptune transits can be challenging
for many, and for you it may be both extremely challenging and
rewarding as well in the end. Your chart shows a strong Neptunian
influence, with Moon conjunct Jupiter in Pisces (opposed by Saturn)
and Neptune opposing the Sun.
The fact that your Pisces/Neptune influences are opposed by other
forces indicates that you may have had difficulty integrating
those more subliminal Neptunian influences into your Aries personality
and the detachment of your Aquarian ascendant. There is a tremendous
creativity in your chart that may be untapped as a result.
The Neptune transit to Pluto and your angles began earlier in
the year, but you may know that Neptune is stationary right now
exactly affecting your Pluto and angles. You may be feeling a
bit confused and perhaps disoriented, but this would be a wonderful
opportunity to spend more time indulging your more creative impulses,
or spending time in Neptunian pastimes: meditation, listening
to music (or better yet, making it), swimming or spending time
communing with nature. This transit will likely have the lasting
effect of softening and deepening your quest for empowerment and
helping you to internalize this urge for power and integrate it
in a way that is more productive for you.
You will also want to watch the transit of Pluto squaring your
Saturn/Jupiter opposition over the next couple of years. This
too is a time of great transformation. With transits of Pluto
and to Pluto, there is always an element of fate that we cannot
control. It's a time to surrender and cultivate faith that the
changes that are occuring are for your highest good, as they always
are in these circumstances.
