TRANSITING PLUTO OPPOSITION NATAL MOON

Transiting Pluto, which moves roughly one degree a year, is moving through the sign of Capricorn.  In the year 2017 Pluto can be found between 16 to 19 degrees of Capricorn.  If you allow yourself approximately five degrees when Pluto is approaching (11 to 14 degrees Capricorn) and two degree separating, so up to and including 21 to 22 degrees Capricorn and if your Natal Moon is in the sensitive sign of Cancer, you will be experiencing an opposition between transiting Pluto and your natal Moon. 

The Moon can identify your reigning need in life.  It is indicative of what makes up your emotional makeup and is an indicator of your emotional response to life’s situations.  In Cancer there is a genuine need to provide emotional support particularly to family members and close friends.  There are mothering qualities linked to your emotional being and a protective wall that you offer when those near and dear to you need your emotional support.  This is particularly true when it comes to your children and parents, as well as your brothers and sisters.  If connected to the fourth house in your chart and strong in the sign of Cancer, you may find that you offer this support in your home environment.  If in the second house you will provide the family with emotional support through security measures.  If in the sixth house you may provide them with support through health matters or through critiquing their moves in life offering some form of support through disciplined action.

The natal Moon in Cancer makes you very sensitive to emotional upheavals and when your own emotional life is challenged, you may wish to withdraw or not to deal with these matters.  The sensitivities are extreme and you feel what others feel.  Many Moon in Cancer individual develop psychic abilities especially if there are other links suggesting this in the birth chart.  You instinctively feel what is going on around you and can be a helping hand for those going through trauma as long as you learn not to take on the energies and make them your own.

Pluto is all about regeneration, transformation, potential confrontation, and the ability to change what needs changing after careful and honest review.  Pluto’s action is slow and deliberate, and you cannot avoid its confrontational and transformative energies.  Pluto is a powerful force in Astrology and constitutes action where it is needed.  When connected to other planets through the opposition (the Moon in this post), often times other people will be involved and possibility the effects on you will be through their actions.  Pluto’s actions are inevitable.

Pluto often speaks in terms of power struggles and in opposition this will be connected to other people.  Often confrontations are likely and one or both sides will try to control or manipulate the other.  If you are coming from the right place, things will still seem disrupted but there is greater potential for the resolution to work out perhaps in your favour.  Any preconceived notions that you will be able to dictate will most likely cause much disruption and ego disputes.  These arguments may stem from your lover or your children or even other family members.  Sometimes it is through women that these issues arise or the problem may involve women, even the mother (indicated by the Moon).

From an internal point of view, this transit can signify great internal struggles and could stem from earlier in your life.  You may find that issues that you thought you had dealt with now surface and will need to be faced and acted on, once and for all.  This is Pluto’s purpose-- to bring up any unfinished business that needs dealing with so that you can move forward in life.  Often you will get gentle nudges in the beginning to change something or move through a difficulty.  Later, if you did nothing originally, the energies that are stirred up can become much more aggressive.  You must act on what is taking place in your life or Pluto will almost always make things much more difficult and will ensure that the issues are faced. 

If the emotional problems are too intense then this is a good time to seek professional advice that will help you understand the process and help you deal with the issues.  The answers to life’s dilemmas are always found within and although others can help you activate the energies to work through the problem, you ultimately do what must be done.  When Pluto has passed through this area, your life will have gone through some changes that have been required for a long time.
