Astrology That Scares The Hell Out Of People: Pluto Transit the 12th House
Astrology and Outtakes and Various Other Sundries…
It’s been a big day around here… maybe it shows. Personally, transiting Saturn is leaving my 7th house for my 8th and Pluto, leaving my 11th for my 12th. Now both these transits are dreaded, but I am feeling pretty good especially about Saturn through the 8th.
I am feeling good because I am old enough I have already had Saturn transit my 8th house so I feel equipped. I have not had Pluto transit my 12th though and seeing as my astrology books have been packed for almost 4 years now, I googled “Pluto transit 12th house” and this is what I got… really the only offering:
“Pluto through the 12th house- This transit can either be for better or worse. At worst, powerful and deadly enemies can enter into one’s life, long term incarceration and imprisonment, diseases that are long lasting and/or permanent, isolation.
The person, at this time, may have an intense desire to be alone, or this can be forced upon one, through circumstances. There can be restriction and confinement, mentally or physically.”
Oh for Godsakes! 1 in 12 people have Pluto transiting their 12th house. Do you see 1/12 of the people around you locked in jail with the key thrown away, body parts rotting off as people plot against them? ::shakes head::
I am going to make a point of writing about this transit so when people search they can pull up some sanity, you think? We can start today.
If you have had Pluto transit your 12th house and did not become riddled with leprosy and go crazy in quarantine, please let us know.

I have had Pluto in my 12th for a while. Next year it will cross my Mars and ascendant. I’m a little freaked about that.
My Jupiter is in the 8th. So far, I have had a couple surgeries, some friends and relatives die, and a nephew sent to fight in Iraq.
I’m sure other people have had surgeries, friends and relatives die, etc who do not have Pluto messing around in the 12th.
For sure, this transit has not been fun and games but it has been highly transformative for me including in ways I haven’t even understood yet.
No jail time so far.
The hub is going through it right now. Ugh. It doesnt just affect him.. unfortunately.
During the Pluto transit of my 12th house I left my childhood home, got married and moved from one side of the country to the other, had two children, one miscarriage and decided to divorce the man I was married to for most of that transit.
I did NOT get leprosy, wasn’t jailed or committed. There were some periods of isolation but I would attribute those periods more to the Pluto transit to my early 12th house moon. Towards the end of the transit I was VERY social and had a great circle of friends.
I was born with Pluto in the last degrees of the 12th house, and for sure I had deadly and powerful enemies, but I was fighting battles I knew were worth fighting, and enemies came with the territory. Many of these battles went on for decades, only ceasing when I just disappeared like a criminal on the lam. I did spend 1 night in jail when I was a teenager, and since then I studiously avoided any battles that might cause a repeat of this experience. The only upside might be if I ever actually changed anyone’s mind, but I will probably never know.
It’s probably just going to get you to know all there is about your unconscious. Enemies being associated with the 12th house I feel is because sometimes we unconsciously do things that piss others off and have no idea until it is brought into our awareness. So pluto going through there you’ll really get to see what you haven’t been seeing as pluto will dredge it up and show it to you.
Yes it can mean confinement but only if you’re already the type of person who lives in denial or on the surface of things.. then life has to get drastic to get you to take a look.
Well Elsa, Pluto is at the tail end of my 12th House as we speak and will soon cross over my Ascendant for a 2nd time to journey for good into the 1st…and seriously, I am so glad it will never, ever again (in this lifetime anyways) go back in the 12th.
It started sometime in late 2000 but the funny thing is I didn’t even know about it until just recently. So, I went through it all with no knowledge of transits. It’s been a long, difficult 6 years.
There was very painful aloneness, isolation, confusion, and a sense of standing at the edge of a vast, black vacuum. It has been the most difficult thing I’ve ever gone through so far. And to top it off, the Pluto transits started a few years after that (they continue today…Pluto square Jupiter, square Sun, square natal Pluto, square Uranus, beginning to conjunct Ascendant). There’s been death (literal and figurative), restriction, unconscious coming to light, and confinement - but there was nothing I could do. I thought that the rest of my life was going to be like this.
As I read about it all now, I can say (proudly) that I melted into that vast, dark void and have miraculously come through the other end. For the past couple months, I’ve been voraciously researching Pluto transits and I’m so happy that I understand what’s been going on.
Now the good news…besides it being outta that 12th house soon. Some astrologer said Pluto transits are hard but we sure miss them when they are gone. I can see how that is true - I’m glad it’s leaving but I’m grateful it was there. The depth of growth and learning is, for me, impossible to adequately articulate with mere words.
Yup, it’s a very difficult house to transit. I came across the quote you found when I was doing the very same thing. Keep reading and searching. There’s some good stuff out there to prepare you but if you’re at this stage of evolution for it to be happening, you are ready…and you already know to follow your instincts.
I describe the last 6 years as the most difficult thing I’ve ever done yet easiest - it just happened and the help and information I received from the universe was truly magic. The 8th house is my home and Pluto is big in my chart so that also could have helped or maybe it just made everything even more profound.
I didn’t intend to write so much, not usually so long winded in these comments, so that’s all.
Wow, that sounds great. Too bad I’m never going to get pluto in my 12th house… unless I live to be something like 200 years old.

Pluto’s transit thru my 12th hit my Jupiter, Part of Fortune, Mars & Mercury. In many ways, it was an illuminating time where I was able to sort out a lot. Also discovered & read Liz Greene’s books including The Astrology of Fate. Came up with some really helpful insights into the best way to handle Pluto both natally & by transit (Pluto activated my natal Mars/Pluto square too). Learned hard, hard lessons in completely letting go & surrendering to the still place within. It was all worth it, trust me on that!
heh, met & married my Aries too during that time!!
My ASC is 26 degrees Sagittarius–my 12th House Pluto transit is almost complete. It began when I was 17 and graduated from highschool.
This doom and gloom is bullshit. Yeah, it was hard, but life can be hard! The last 12 years saw me develop intimate relationships for the first time, make emotional breakthroughs with family, I don’t know how many people close to me died, I fell in love, broke a heart or two and had mine smashed into smitherines. I met amazing people. I really became an adult.
I travelled all over the world when I was 20-24 after being hit by a car and suing the driver. How’s that for a good Pluto in the (Sag) 12th story for you!
Get the dinner table set, because the guests are arriving shortly whether you invited them or not!
imagine havin saturn in 8th and pluto in 12th at d same time.
Being a cap rising, ive had pluto in 12th house 4 d last 18 yrs.now its gonna be in my 1st house….yay! i love power.
now i definitely was not locked up in jail…but yes d past years have been 4 d most part marked by emotional and physical isolation, some enemies too, long lasting diseases. ther was def. a sense of restriction and confinement. the chains were not obvious to others…but i felt them.
im glad its over!!
I filched this from an archived astrologyweekly forum - thought it might be of some help…
“I too have had Pluto passing through my 12th, since around 1999, and I certainly started some major changes around that point! As Pluto moves through the 12th, it tends to press you to address alot of beneath the surface sort of things, as Pluto wants you to clean up all those hidden or seldom-addressed parts of yourself. It’s sort of a housecleaning, and rearrangement of the inner self, just as Cossie mentions, for a sort of rebirth as Pluto crosses your ascendant. When Pluto is moving through your 12th house, you’ll make some huge changes internally, but you probably aren’t going to display those to people… You’ll sort of hide those changes, from most people, however there is likely to be a special subset of people, who are involved in or assisting your transformations, that you will share them with, yet you will still be guarded even to them. You won’t be hiding the changes for malicious reasons, but simply because you will feel like the worm that hasn’t quite become the butterfly yet. You’ll encounter urges to be like the peacock and show all your beautiful new feathers, but you’ll be likely to resist those temptations because you’ll know deep down inside the product isn’t finished yet… But sometimes you’ll open up to certain people you feel your personal transformations can be relevant to: these are people on a similar path, and you won’t be able to resist. There’s this feeling of inner satisfaction working towards the finished product, like you are storing up monoatomic gold (the alchemist’s dream) inside yourself, much in the same manner of the worm->butterfly transformation.
Atleast that’s how it’s been working for me!
It’s been fun. A few years to go, and it’ll be sliding across my ascendant, after making a few passes over Venus, which is about to happen.
Pluto feels pretty comfortable going through the 12th house. Pluto loves deep, hidden things, and the 12th is all about the deeper, more inaccessable parts of yourself. He’ll do his best to bubble them up to the surface, and in all reality he’s doing you a big favor by doing so. If your psyche is fairly solid and built on a solid foundation, and you’ve truly connected with your inner self, it will be a time of self-realization. If you’ve let alot of cobwebs build up in your 12th house by self-denial and escapism, you may have a harder time.”
I was not in prison during my 12 h pluto transit, but I felt as if I was there. They were very hard years with a deep feeling of restriction and oppression. However I do not believe that everyone have to live through something like that. I think the 12 house is related with the social self, and any bad transit will threaten your social rights and your inclusion in the society as an subject with an identity and a responsibility. Because of that I think the 12house is not so bad (politics have it) and in the other hand that is just my theory: I see the world trough a theory, that is jupither 9th… that’s all…
Hey there
Pluto is just out of my twelfth, and since it left I have noticed I’ve got more friends. Or at least friends who are around more. Also I’m dating again.
Towards the tail end of my 12th house I was in Ireland for six months and I was alone alone alone. But I was digging anyway so it suited. I’d really have to give this more thought to figure out the impact, and I’d have to look up when it started to transit.
I had Pluto in the 12th all during my teenage and college years. Actually, it was a really liberating transit for me, far easier than my childhood Pluto in the 11th, when I felt like I didn’t have a friend in the world and socially unacceptable. Pluto 12th definitely felt like a rebirth. I really came into my own and embraced my personal power. Yes, it entailed recognizing how alone I was in the world, but also finding a lot of internal strength and personal acceptance in the process, as well as a society of oddballs to share it with!
I could see, however, that this sort of death/rebirth might be a lot harder for an adult whose identity and daily life seems settled already.
Please, write about it. We don’t need catastrophical views on the transits, at least I’m scared enough as it is. This retrograde Pluto is back to conjunct my Sun again and I’ve had enough of this! It hurts like hell!
But apart from that we shouldn’t be catastrophical, obviously.
