Understanding Your Pluto Transits
A Pluto transit is a time of intense personal transformation, often marked by "tower moments" where life as you know it collapses. It forces you to confront and reclaim your personal power, which may have been lost or given away in the past. These transits are not meant to punish, but to reveal your inner strength and lead you toward a more authentic and powerful self.
Reclaiming Your Power
Pluto's lessons are often harsh, but they serve a clear purpose: to show you where you've been putting your faith in external things and to wake you up to your own capacity for change. The key question to ask yourself during a Pluto transit is: "Where do I still have power in this situation?"
Own Your Response: You may not be able to control what happens to you—whether it's a health crisis, a betrayal, or the loss of a dream—but you always have control over your response. As the speaker's story about PTSD shows, realizing you are in control of your reactions can be a profound and liberating moment.
Let Go of Control: Pluto transits often involve things "falling away" from your life. This is not a punishment; it's the universe stripping away what no longer serves your future. Trying to micromanage outcomes or cling to what is dying is a sign of being out of alignment. The path forward is to surrender and trust that you have the inner resources to navigate the change.
Confront Your Truths: Pluto forces you to face uncomfortable realities, such as how you might have been giving your power away, or the ways you've been avoiding difficult truths. This includes confronting outdated identities that may have once served you but are now holding you back.
Navigating the Challenges
During these intense periods, it's important to remember that they are not a year-long state of disaster. The most intense experiences typically occur in concentrated bursts. By focusing on your internal state and making empowered choices, you can ride the wave of this transformation rather than being crushed by it.
The Dysregulated Response: When you're not aligned with Pluto's energy, you might find yourself trying to control everything, engaging in shame spirals, or holding onto a past identity. This is a battle you cannot win.
The Empowered Response: The goal is to move from a place of fear to one of empowerment. This means tending to your emotional and energetic well-being, getting support from those who will give you "tough love" instead of just validation, and trusting that you have the internal resources to let go of what is no longer meant for you.
The End Goal
Successfully navigating a Pluto transit leads to radical self-trust and unshakable boundaries. The conviction and clarity you gain from these experiences will build a foundation of unshakable power. It's a journey from being controlled by external circumstances to becoming the architect of your own life. As the speaker says, "I am who I am today because of my response to these Pluto transits." This is the ultimate gift of Pluto: the raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic power of knowing who you are.
