Pluto Transit Through The 12th House - Mine: Tapping The Collective Unconscious
Astrology in real life
I have been meaning to send a postcard on this and figure now is the time since Pluto will turn retrograde next week. That means the planet has slowed to an even slower, slow crawl then usual and effects are very potent if you tap this realm.
It’s such a long transit but I am committed to writing about it because there is so much scare astrology out there on this. Basically I am to die a disgusting death from syphilis or the like which I seriously doubt so I want to put something else out here for people to google upon now and in the future and you can click the tag Pluto transit 12th to read the posts on this topic.
Pluto is now fairly deep into my 12th house, it is no longer flirting with the cusp. I wondered some months ago if I would lose track or consciousness of the effect of the transit but this has not been the case. In fact, it’s been exactly the opposite.
I am acutely aware of being able to tap the collective unconscious in ways I have never been able to before but actually, that is not quite accurate. I think I may have had this ability before but I’ve not been conscious of it which means the transit has increased my consciousness which has surprised me.
There is a downside. The collective is of course, gross in some ways but I think it’s very minor in comparison to the gain. I am not sure everyone would feel this way though because if you don’t like the shadow… well with Pluto in the 12th you can’t avoid it.
There are no boundaries in the 12th house so what happens is you absorb all the dark energy and I can imagine this really bugging people out but being as it’s me, I am very comfortable and have to say it looks as if this will be the best transit of my entire life. Strange, huh?

Having a natal 12th house Pluto, I can tell you the tapping into the collective un/consciousness is definitely a gift, although as a child it didn’t feel that way.
It made my childhood feel extremely unsafe, and in fact it was. I learned through my teens either the energy would take me or I would have to learn how to go with the flow as well as how to absorb it without it killing me. I know that sounds rather extreme but it actually was.
Learning how to ground and applying psychic shielding was also a life saver. It is good you have such a positive attitude with the transit, as well as the life skills Elsa, because from my experiences it is like trouble or turmoil will find you. It most assuredly can play out as the scapegoat among other things. It is like having some beacon that just draws stuff to you. You already have the ingenuity to deal with that but with the transit it may come in spades.
The positives are like gold though, defeat is never an option after you live through that stuff.You know how poetic the words seem about rising like a phoenix from the ashes, well I think I grew a second skin of asbestos. I may get knocked down but no one can ever keep me there.
Holy crap, Pluto is retrograding? Lol.
I think this year, and next, Pluto will be hovering on the cusp of my 3rd house. So far it has not been anywhere near as traumatizing as it was when it transited my 2nd house. My next 12th house visit will be when Saturn enters Libra - am a little nervous about this.
Pluto in the 12th seemed like a mega-BS-detector.
Sure did help my creativity.
No STDs haha.
I second Toni! Holy mother of crap! Pluto will be retrograding in my 7th house. In a positive light, maybe it will give me a chance to hone my people skills. I’ve been dealing with Pluto in an angular house for five years now, though. Go ahead Pluto, throw me a curve ball! I can take it:)
I actually think I’d prefer the 12th house transit of pluto. I am more familiar with that house. This eighth house stuff is scary! It’s just coming barely past the cusp and I am .. well ready to die at this rate.
Retrogrades back onto my 2nd house moon at 1 degree of cap- more transformation of self esteem through scary experiences. Previously has been painful relationships but am NOT going to let that be the case this time!
Good for you making the most of your transit Elsa. I think we all benefit.
I have natal Pluto in the 12th house it is now in the 10th house conjunct Sun…transitin my 3rd house in natal chart…I guess I am now living out loud what was subconscious?
Seeking clarification. What do you mean about the collective being gross? Or is it Pluto in that house that makes it gross. Sorry if I misunderstand– this interests me esp because of my moon pluto aspect
I’ve had pluto in my 4th for so long I would just like it to move along already!
“{What do you mean about the collective being gross?”
I misspoke. It is the shadow of the collective. Like turning up a rock and all these slimy things crawling around + termites and whatnot. ![]()
Elsa - look at it like a kid….. Aren’t those slimy things crawling around cool? Look at that slime trail. Goodness their avoiding those other crawly things. I didn’t even know that shape existed.
WHAT is it eating?!!!
(from a kid who loved the underside of rocks, pond mush and all that good stuff… I know it was an excellent analogy and I got swept up with the idea of exploring)
mud, that is exactly how I look at it - then (when I was a kid) and now but it is still GROSS to Libra!
Yep, that’s gross. Very interesting, but gross.
I am seriously scared of this transit… :S
pluto just came out of a conjunction with my 1st house moon and is at the exact degree of my 2nd house neptune. Now its going retrogade!!!
and i have 12th house natal pluto…:S
…anyone has any advice?
Elsa, when will it go direct again?
lotion - relax. Pluto retrogrades April 4 - Sept 11 so about 5 months. It only moves a couple degrees in that time. If you have survived the conjunction to you’re Moon, you are looking GREAT! ![]()
still hanging around at the back end of my fourth. all the yearly prognosis are acting like its in fifth already… ![]()
but i’m cleaning out the trash, still. finally feel like i’m getting it figured out. and i’ll have to leave, again, soon. but finding my way on my own the past few months have been like burning out the last of the abandoned cobwebs in my head…
Elsa, thanks for the words of encouragement! that moon pluto was nasty. good thing there is only one of those per life, max.
Wow, I can’t argue with daemonness. I have it natally too and that is pretty much how it works for me. Especially the “trouble magnet”-ness. I’ve been a chaos magnet since age 18, and while it started to die down two years ago, it’s still a recurring thing.
(I am really sick of picking up everyone’s FEAR lately. I wish there was some way I could shield my ears from hearing it in work meetings, dammit.)
got some years yet before pluto moves out of my fourth… seven degrees to go…
Dorothy- Reply to #4- I have all the aspects you mentioned as well. Weird.
2nd house moon/pluto was nasty indeed for me
Natal Pluto in 12th- I hardly notice it, or I’d be more helpful. I do know I’m interested in figuring out what’s in people’s shadows.
I know a mother and a daughter who both have Pluto natally in the 12th and they are both excellent card readers. They get images and go into detail and present the shadow responsibly.
I turned over a rock a couple weeks ago and one of these guys was under it. Pretty:

(or gross).
Pluto is healing and regeneration (speaking of salamanders) too, don’t forget.
Pluto is transiting my twelfth now……initially it was tapping the collective unconscious….now all of sudden its an abrupt drop in consciousness ……..as if the whole world has fallen apart.
Has somebody experienced anything similar.
Hope my consciousness returns…perhaps this drop is to discover some underworld issues.
