Pluto & The Angles
Scorpio Risings :: IC
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.

If you are a Scorpio Rising with an Aquarius IC at 0-4 degrees, this transit will be occurring for you over the next 3-4 years, and you may have already begun to feel it’s effects.
Looking at the bottom of the natal chart you can find “IC” and the number next to it. The example above is IC at 4 degrees, and you can see Pluto is at 29 degrees Capricorn, so it is 5 degrees away from the IC. This native will have already begun to feel the effects of Pluto conjunct the IC.
This transit brings a profound reworking of your inner world, personal foundations, and core beliefs. The IC represents the roots of your life, home, family dynamics, and sense of security. When Pluto crosses this point, it initiates a deep evolution in how you relate, ultimately transforming your sense of self from the ground up.
Pre-IC (3°-1° Before the IC)
Lesson: As Pluto approaches the IC, you begin to feel subtle shifts in your foundations. This phase brings awareness to subconscious patterns, family dynamics, and early conditioning/family wounding that may be influencing your sense of security and self-worth. It’s a period where you start questioning where your inner foundation might need a restructuring. This phase may encourage a review of your ancestral heritage and family beliefs.
Challenges: Old emotional wounds and unresolved family issues may resurface, creating a sense of unease or discomfort. You may feel disoriented as you begin to question the beliefs and assumptions that have long shaped your worldview. The need for security might conflict with a growing awareness that change is necessary.
Making It Easier: Create space to reflect on your personal and family history. Journaling about childhood experiences, family values, or ancestral patterns can help you gain insights. This is a good time to begin practices that promote emotional stability, such as meditation or grounding rituals, allowing you to observe these shifts without being overwhelmed by them.
Exact Conjunction (0° from the IC)
Lesson: When Pluto makes its exact conjunction to the IC, it’s time for a powerful and often cathartic shift in your foundations. This transit may bring about a deep re-evaluation of what “home” means to you, along with a release of old familial or societal conditioning that no longer serves you. It’s a chance to redefine your inner sense of security, grounding yourself in your values rather than relying solely on external circumstances. It’s also a time to heal wounding from the past to create a greater sense of inward stability.
Challenges: This phase can feel destabilizing, as it often challenges your current living situation, family dynamics, or deep-seated emotional patterns. Past traumas or suppressed emotions may come up for healing, which can feel intense but is necessary for creating a solid, authentic foundation. Family relationships may also undergo significant changes during this time, prompting you to set boundaries or redefine connections.
Making It Easier: Embrace the concept of “emotional decluttering” by letting go of past hurts or family expectations that don’t resonate with you. Therapy, inner child work, or working with a trusted guide can help you process these changes. Focus on creating a personal sanctuary, whether physically at home or through grounding practices, that allows you to feel safe and centered. This sanctuary will serve as an anchor as you navigate the transformation.
Transformation (1°-3° After the IC)
Lesson: Once Pluto moves past the IC, the transformation deepens. This phase is about fully integrating the new foundation you’ve begun building, exploring what security and belonging mean to you personally. It’s a time for reconnecting with your inner sense of power and reinforcing the idea that your worth is rooted in your own values, rather than external approval.
Challenges: There may be residual attachments to old ways of being, particularly around family roles or home life, that feel tempting to return to. However, these attachments are likely to feel uncomfortable as they no longer align with your new foundation. The journey may also involve facing fears around standing alone or breaking away from ingrained family beliefs.
Making It Easier: Practicing self-validation is key here, as it reinforces your newfound sense of inner security. Cultivating self-soothing techniques, such as breathwork, mindful reflection, or creative expression, can help you stay grounded and centered. Embrace personal rituals or routines that help you embody your authentic values and encourage emotional resilience.
Integration (4°-6° After the IC)
Lesson: In this phase, the transformation becomes more stable, allowing you to deepen your relationship with your inner self. You’re learning to trust the foundation you’ve built, and there’s a growing sense of peace in who you’ve become. This phase is about integrating lessons around security, family dynamics, and personal identity, allowing you to express these changes with confidence.
Challenges: Integrating such profound changes can sometimes feel unsteady, especially if family relationships or home life have been altered significantly. Old doubts or family obligations may re-emerge, testing your commitment to the new sense of self you’ve established. The urge to please others or revert to familiar roles may still occasionally arise.
Making It Easier: Build supportive routines and rituals that remind you of your inner strength and sense of belonging within yourself. Surround yourself with people and environments that support and validate your journey. Engaging in creative pursuits, setting goals for personal growth, and creating a vision for your future home or family life can help reinforce this new foundation.
Stabilization (7°-10° After the IC)
Lesson: In this final phase, Pluto’s transformative energy stabilizes, allowing you to feel more rooted and resilient in your new foundation. This phase brings a lasting sense of empowerment as you’ve redefined security on your own terms. You can now move forward with a clearer sense of home and self, no longer burdened by old family patterns or external expectations.
Challenges: Though the intensity of Pluto’s influence is subsiding, there may still be moments where life tests your commitment to this new identity and foundation. Relationships, especially family connections, may challenge your boundaries from time to time. There may also be lingering feelings of nostalgia or attachment to how things “used to be,” which can occasionally resurface.
Making It Easier: Cultivate gratitude for the journey and the strength you’ve gained. Reinforce your new sense of stability by setting intentions around creating a life and home that reflect your values. Lean into grounding practices, like connecting with nature or creating a personal space that feels peaceful and inspiring. Embrace this new foundation as a solid anchor, knowing it will support you as you continue to grow and evolve.
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 reshaping how you relate to home, family, and your inner world. 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 a more authentic and resilient foundation that reflects your truest self.
