Pluto transited my sun in 2003. I had just gotten in touch with the soldier (my current husband) after more than two decades apart. It was freakishly intense. It was so intense I abruptly cut off contact with him after some months. There was no alternative at the time.
But prior to being forced into that corner we were trading information. Actually he was offering information and I was receiving it not by the bucket or the barrel full, the information flooded in like a in a tidal wave and I don’t think he had any idea at the time how I was being impacted.
For one thing he’d not talked to anyone about anything… ever. Not details about his career and not about me so when this plug got pulled, look out. The information came shooting out like a fire hydrant or a fire hose. Just imagine these bits of data streaming out each of them… well crap. It could have been shrapnel flying and he was full of it.
Far from being repulsed, I was enthralled but definitely reeling. I wrote the astrology mailing lists to offload and try to process. My writing at that time was so acute I was censored on two lists, most notably a list called “Plutonians” which is pretty funny if you think about it. Talk about being repulsive. It’s like showing up at a nudist colony naked and having them lock the door!
I got kicked off two astrology lists but one gal (C.F. Perez) let me write on her list. There were people on her list who were able to parse what I was saying and keep their eyes in their head, thank God. I got some incredible feedback from these people who seemed to understand I was sending postcards from the depths of hell in real time.
It turned out to be a real exercise for all involved but anyway, the information he had was profound on all levels and I was just getting cut, and cut and cut and cut.
But these were the kind of cuts that are not destructive. I actually had an image in my mind at the time from G-rated movie, the Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy and her pals get to Oz, they get sent in for makeovers on what amounts to a happy assembly line and this was more like that. Totally overwhelming but you know its right. Not only is it right, it is the opportunity of a lifetime. I knew this then. I was aware I was being cut by the sharpest knife on the planet (personal to me) and stood naked and let it happen. It was like finding I had boils all over my body and here is someone who can lance them and I’ll tell you in plain English what I mean.
The Sun is your essence and mine had become… hobbled. Essentially I was jacked up! Years of gunk and things that don’t belong, but then here comes the soldier, knew me when I was young. And he remembered me. He remembered me down to the moles on my body if you can imagine that. So it was piece of cake for him to slice off the sludge and cut out the cancer, see?
No, no, no. That’s not you… this is you. Remember this? Remember that? Remember this and this and this and that? I was reeling! And post cutting I was unrecognizable to those in my immediate vicinity.
It was as if he went in there and put all the wires where they go. It was like being restored to factory specs. And he didn’t even know it. This was all unbeknownst to him so there you go with your Scorpio / 8th house acting sub or semi-consciously.
When Pluto transits your sun, it marks the death of your false character, as you’re stripped of all impurities.
Have you ever been rewired by Scorpio?
ummmmm, mostly I’m the one doing the re-wiring. However, when Pluto was making his merry way through my 12th House, he used whoever/whatever was on hand to rewire me! 🙂 Yes, it hurts! But when the light returns after getting smacked on the head, it’s worth it.
Yes, but for me it happened when I had my older two kids and wasn’t as quick a process I think. I’m mutable so I’m getting rewired all the time, but that process is when I realized I was all gunked up from my first marraige.
My god Elsa, I can’t even deal that is so beautiful. Being remembered, being recognized…being rewired..!
i do it to myself all the time.
though it’s rather a treat when someone who knows what they’re doing picks up a bit of it. they see different things i don’t even notice.
i just have to watch out how much of them goes into it… some are more respectful than others. part of why i’m picky picky picky who gets close. sometimes i have to go back in later and pull out everything and redo it myself and that’s really darn tiring 😉
thank you elsa, from the bottom of my heart
you gave me good and bad
Maybe that’s what’s going on, something”s trining his 8th house ( hes a leo sun, cancer asc, Taurus moon) and has finally grossed me out to the point where I don’t wanna see him anymore. All the forecasts & tarot readers out there who say I’m throwing an opportunity of a lifetime away never had to deal with this one.
I’ll have Pluto trine Sun transit in 8 years from now in my 8th house. I’ll mark my subconscious notes to come back with an update!
Transit pluto trine my sun for this whole year and it’s gonna continue next yeat. It has been a good force, it gave me strength to endure the delightful saturn square sun transit. After breaking down, getting up again.
May that be so. Rise again !
Thank you for the encouragement! 😊
Pluto was at 17/18 Sag in 2003, correct? My natal Saturn at 17 and my Sun at 24 Sag that whole stretch was intense…2003 we moved to a new place, 2005 hubby had a broken spine and 2 years of reasonable recovery, 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer and mid 2008 he passed.
Although you would never hear me complain about my 33 year marriage, I emerged from it a different person, more myself than ever before. The Pluto through Cap and my 4th was no walk in the park and I’m glad it’s nearly done.
But the Pluto transit to Saturn and Sun did wonders to prepare me. In hindsight:-)
Since Pluto had already been conjunct my Scorpio Moon and Mars in prior years, a lot of superficial and illusionary stuff had already been stripped off, so I wasn’t spooked too much by finding yet another layer of who I am underneath.
Eternal optimism helps:-) Faith does too, once religion has been set aside.
Scorpio in Pluto was majorly intense for me as my sun and Saturn are in Scorpio. I have my asc , moon and Venus in Sag however and I lost everything during the Capricorn in Pluto transit in my second house including my husband in 2019. My sun is at 24 degrees so I expect once Aquarius in Pluto gets close to that I will be no more as I will be quite a bit older than my 68 years now. What scares me is the transit of pluto crossing back and forth over my sons and sisters 1st degree Aquarian sun. My son is really going through a difficult time, mentally and emotionally. My sister has also been through so much in the last few years.
I’m looking at this in a few years, impending pluto conj my 7deg Aq sun.
Curious, sounds like in your case it was another person that facilitated all the rewiring. Is that a Libra thing or 8th house thing?
It’s the aspect. He t-boned me.
But this was also just a small part of this transit.
Need to read more on T’squares … sometimes they sound better than a square, other times worse!maybe it’s both 😂 I’ll search your site!
I did my solar return and have Pluto on my ascendant, I wonder if it’s going to be a similar experience.
Pluto has transited my Sun in Capricorn several times in the last 2 decades, obviously, and it has been both a very rough and a wildly transformational time..It changed me profoundly, and in a good way…
Elsa – How does this apply to someone born with Pluto conjunct their sun? Or with Pluto transiting their 1st house? Same manifestation of the energy?
I have Pluto transiting my 1st now, and have written about it. Try the search on this site. It’s different from the sun.
Pluto conjunct the sun is also different. There may be posts on this, I can’t remember offhand. Sorry, I’m juggling at the moment.
How do you locate Pluto transiting your sun? Do you look at where Leo lands in the chart?
No. Your sun is a fixed position. Pluto squares your sun when the planet transits in a sign that is 90 degrees from your sun sign.
Ohhh I see! That makes sense. I am a brand spankin’ newb with locating these things. It gets very complex, but I’m eager to learn. Thanks, Elsa!
@jrs exciting times!!!!
i have pluto close to my sun. though not birth. i just looked up. strangely 45 years almost to the day today.
i actually few memories of childhood & i know that was a very dangerous time for me. regarding severe child abuse & neglect.. my mother was evrntually exposed & charged years later.. but ive always wondered how i survived so many years… i just happened to notice now at least at this exact time i happened on today… i had grand trines & magic rectangles … maybe there was intervention protecting my spirit from a higher place…
especially if i mention pluto was transiting my sun which straddles the 3H IC & mars on the orher side 4H. all conjunct my IC.. I think it exposes what i always figured, i only had myself… & some ‘thing’ above unbeknownst to me 😕
im just guessing off top of my head though right before sleeping. i could look at this tomorrow & realise it was irrelevant 😉
Lots of endings when Pluto transited my 12H. Now, lots of fresh starts as Pluto transits my 1H. I feel reborn.
Very nice! In my case, it was the 8th house, so it was a dance with death and other ultimate issues…
This did happen with me as my sun, saturn and mercury is in my 12th house in scorpio. When Pluto went into Sagittarius it was definitely a re birth for me. I got a divorce from my abusive 1st husband, met my late husband who was the love of my life. We spent the pluto in Sagittarius years moving throughout the country traveling. His sun of aries was in my 5th house so we spent those years as playmates. Always laughter and having fun. Then Pluto moved into capricorn and was a major party pooper. Amazing how it is to look back and see how the pluto transits correlate with real life.
Since Pluto has made contact with my moon, venus, Jupiter and now my mercury & sun, I do feel like a different person.
I feel a bit raw and exposed, but overall I feel Authentic. I am more comfortable in my own skin, and don’t care to hide any of my self perceived imperfections.
I’ve learned that by sharing my vulnerabilities others feel comfortable coming forth and sharing theirs. Not hiding what you are feeling or going through, is rather empowering.
Absolutely georgous post ….and funny …this bit made me laugh: “Talk about being repulsive. It’s like showing up at a nudist colony naked and having them lock the door!” … loving all your emails #gratitude. .. head down atm navigating this saturn-jup-mars and anticipating the Fm …my chart is a twanging! And yes, defin juggling! On speed! But all good atm.
My natal Sun and Pluto are conjunct…. Sun at 27 degrees Leo and Pluto at 0 degree Virgo. I’ve had a lifetime of intensity and very, very high strange throughout.
How does one get censored in an Astrology site? I just didn’t think that Astrology was a controversial topic. Although I have noticed people are more contentious now than they used to be
It wasn’t a site, it was a mailing list. This was early internet. There were at least 50 astrology mailing lists, though more like 5 or 6 that were very active. Each had an owner… the person who started the list. If they didn’t like you or if someone complained about you, then you could be kicked off.
I had both situations at different times. I could explain, but not sure anyone is interested. For example, some of us got kicked off for talking about murder too much. Jon-Benet Ramsey and Versace cases, specifically. A group of us were thought to be “morbid” so they asked us to leave and we did… formed another list.
Tr Pluto was conjunct my Sun in my natal Libra 8H when I entered high school. I witnessed lots of hook-ups and drug use at that time.
“Talk about being repulsive. It’s like showing up at a nudist colony naked and having them lock the door!” OMG, that made me bust out laughing!
So much loss and endings for me as Pluto has transited through my 12th house. My entire life has been changed and transformed. I’m now looking forward to new beginnings.
