Pluto & The Angles
Leo Risings :: DSC
You may have heard Astrologers talking about how Pluto in Aquarius will be affecting the Fixed Signs the most (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio). And that is because Pluto moving into Aquarius will be aspecting these placements in some way over the next 18 years. Equally as important, if you are an Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio Rising, Pluto will be transiting your Angles.
When Pluto transits the angles of your natal chart, it signals deeply transformative periods that redefine the core of who you are and how you relate to the world. As Pluto touches these points of the natal chart, it brings an energy of intense, cathartic change, urging you to let go of old structures, patterns, and identities that no longer serve your evolution.
These transits often last for roughly 3 years, so they are deeply impactful and can unearth major change. On the other side of these transits, you will not be the same.

It’s a powerful invitation to redefine the dynamics in your partnerships and learn about empowerment, boundaries, and vulnerability in profound ways.
Pre-Descendant (3°-1° Before the Descendant)
Lesson: As Pluto approaches the Descendant, you may start noticing subtle shifts in your relationships. This preparatory phase encourages you to examine existing partnerships, friendships, and other connections, shedding light on any power imbalances and dynamics, unmet needs, hidden issues, control issues, or unhealed wounds. This phase is a call to assess where you may be giving away your power or avoiding deeper intimacy out of fear or discomfort. Pluto’s energy begins to stir up the hidden and unconscious elements of your relationship patterns. It’s a call to acknowledge and examine what lies beneath the surface.
You may notice recurring themes of intensity in relationships or feel drawn to individuals who mirror aspects of your shadow self. These connections may feel magnetic yet challenging, urging you to confront aspects of yourself you may have disowned or repressed.
Pluto moves closer to the exact degree of your Descendant, amplifying tensions and pushing you to face unresolved issues in your relationships. If there are unhealthy attachments, fears of abandonment, or codependent patterns, they often emerge here.
Relationships may feel intense, with dynamics escalating or becoming harder to ignore. You may experience situations where boundaries, trust, or loyalty are tested. This stage challenges you to hold space for your inner transformation while recognizing what serves your growth and what does not.
Challenges: This phase can bring feelings of unease in relationships, as issues that have been brushed aside begin to surface. You may feel an internal conflict between maintaining peace and addressing the undercurrents that need attention. Old relationship patterns or fears of abandonment might arise, creating tension within close connections.
Making It Easier: Begin by observing the dynamics in your relationships without immediate action. Journaling about relationship patterns, your needs, and fears can help clarify areas that may need change. Practicing self-reflection and communication skills can help you prepare to approach these shifts with openness and awareness rather than fear.
Exact Conjunction (0° from the Descendant)
Lesson: With Pluto making its exact conjunction to the Descendant, you’re likely to face transformative moments within key relationships. This phase brings deep insights into your needs in partnerships, boundaries, and personal power. The transit encourages you to release dependencies, fears of vulnerability, or unhealthy dynamics, allowing you to enter relationships that are more balanced, respectful, and empowering.
As Pluto crosses the Descendant, it initiates a dismantling process, clearing away aspects of your approach to relationships that are no longer aligned. This is often a time of endings or profound changes in how you relate to others, calling for acceptance and surrender.
Relationships that cannot withstand this level of transformation may end, while those that align with your growth deepen. This can be a deeply emotional period, where you release attachments or beliefs that no longer serve your evolution. It’s common to grieve the loss of old versions of yourself and others as you let go of what’s no longer in alignment.
Challenges: This phase can feel intense as relationship dynamics may undergo profound shifts. You might face issues around control, fear of loss, or the need to assert yourself. This transit often acts as a catalyst for relational change, possibly leading to endings in partnerships that no longer serve your growth or significant redefinitions of existing ones.
Making It Easier: Embrace the idea of transformation, allowing changes in relationships without resistance. Focus on maintaining open communication, expressing your needs, and setting boundaries. Therapy, journaling, or working with a relationship coach can provide support and guidance. By releasing attachment to any one outcome, you’ll be better able to welcome relationships that align with your authentic self.
Transformation (1°-3° After the Descendant)
Lesson: As Pluto moves past the Descendant, the transformation process deepens. This phase helps you integrate the insights gained from the exact conjunction, encouraging you to redefine what healthy relationships look like for you. It’s about building relational foundations that honor both your own needs and those of others, fostering mutual empowerment rather than codependency or control.

Connections feel more authentic and empowering, grounded in mutual respect and an acceptance of the complexities each person brings. You emerge with a clearer understanding of your needs and boundaries, feeling more empowered to attract relationships that align with your truth.
Challenges: During this phase, you may feel tempted to fall back into old patterns, especially if it feels more comfortable or familiar. Additionally, people from your past may reappear, testing your commitment to the new boundaries or dynamics you’re establishing. Emotional processing may also intensify, as any lingering fears of vulnerability or rejection continue to be released.
Making It Easier: Focus on self-compassion and consistency. Ground yourself by affirming your boundaries, values, and needs. Practicing open-hearted, assertive communication can help you stand firm in your truth without compromising your relationships.

You may feel a newfound sense of empowerment in how you show up in relationships, no longer bound by fears, insecurities, or unhelpful attachments. This stage allows you to hold space for both yourself and others in a balanced, compassionate way, grounded in your authentic self.
Challenges: Integrating these changes can bring a learning curve as you navigate how to express yourself in partnerships without overextending or compromising. The urge to “test” the stability of relationships or revisit old fears may still arise, especially if others challenge your boundaries.
Making It Easier: Reinforce your commitment to healthy relational habits by surrounding yourself with people who support your growth. Daily affirmations, setting relationship intentions, or engaging in grounding practices can help you feel secure in your new approach. This is a good time to explore joint goals or create supportive routines that bring balance and fulfillment to both you and your partner(s).
Stabilization (7°-10° After the Descendant)
Lesson: In this final phase, Pluto’s energy stabilizes, allowing you to embody your new relationship dynamics with ease and confidence. You now have a clearer sense of self within partnerships and a deeper understanding of how to create meaningful, balanced connections. There’s a sense of resilience and empowerment, allowing you to engage with others from a place of authenticity and self-respect.
Challenges: Though the intensity has subsided, occasional challenges may still test your growth. People or situations from the past may appear, tempting you to revert to old patterns. However, these are usually milder tests that help reinforce your commitment to the lessons you’ve learned.
Making It Easier: Cultivate gratitude for the journey and celebrate the personal growth you’ve achieved. Reinforce your commitment to balanced, empowering relationships by nurturing connections that align with your values. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude in relationships helps you appreciate the depth and resilience you’ve gained, allowing you to move forward with clarity and purpose.
Reminder that these transits last for years at a time. The energy could feel subtle because of how slow Pluto moves, but it may also not be as subtle and an energy that is percolating for years. This journey is here to lead you into rethinking partnerships and empowering your connections with others. Pluto transits can often feel disruptive in the beginning, but Pluto is here to transform us into the best version of ourselves. It helps us let go of outdated beliefs, identities, and emotions that no longer support the person we are becoming. The overall gift from this transit is a renewed sense of relational empowerment and a clear understanding of the boundaries and balance that support your most authentic self.
