Retrograde Pluto Goes Direct, September 11, 2009 - “All Facets Of Power And Control…”
Astrology in real life
Pluto has been retrograde for about 5 months and will turn direct on September 11th. Personally, Pluto is transiting my 12th house, a transit which has a horrible reputation and completely unwarranted as far as I can see. I’d go as far as to say I’ve enjoyed the transit immensely as it has offered me insight that is unprecedented in my life. If I had any idea the value that would come of this, I’d have paid to have this transit 10 years ago! tag - Pluto transit 12th
In whatever case, I was rolling along with my wrecking ball agenda when Pluto went retrograde and I had to stop. I had to stop because, Pluto which rules the collective had to stop.
With Pluto retrograde, the Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron conjunction has dominated the spring and summer and any one who wants to delve into grotesque reality is seen as grotesque themselves. Whatever. People like me lie in wait knowing this other stuff will come to the front eventually.
So Pluto goes direct in less than 2 weeks and I can’t wait to get back on task with someone of my favorite topics of all time, like the shadow side of parenting, manipulation in business and government, all facets of power (Pluto) and control (Capricorn) and the decay of structures / systems of all types.
Anyone else got a plan?

When it goes direct it’ll be back zero degrees conjunct my moon. Yaaaayy!! I woke up this morning feeling like Super-Woman. I hope that carries over to Sept 11th…and I can really apply it.
That would be fun - I’ll take pluto thru my 12th house, Jupiter in my 7th with? How much for a side of venus? I’d like to cancel any more squares by pluto to my moon indefinitely. Tell saturn to kiss off too. ha ha ha
Pluto is just about to enter my 12th house, and saturn is smack dab on pluto in my 8th. Sounds ominous, no? My plan, though undefined as of yet, is to survive it. Most of what I read about both of those transits is pretty terrifying. I guess my plan is to transform my lower nature and bring stuff to light that has held me back. (Sounds about as fun as cleaning the toilet, knowing all too well the shit just comes back!)
Vajra - I have had the same and as reported, it’s been damned good, as long as you aren’t too afraid of the dark.
Thanks Elsa, that sounds hopeful. I actually in a weird way am feeling ready to face the darkness. I want to shine a light on the stuff that has had a lid on it for so long. Just not sure how exactly to do it, other than with awareness practice. Guess since that is what I feel like I need to do, and these transits do that, I have to look at it as the universe being helpful with it’s timing.
Pluto is transiting my 9th right now and is squaring my sun in 12th house (Aries, 4 degrees). It will be conjuncting my midheaven and opposing my moon in 2012.
Much of the work I’ve done lately is Saturnian (losing weight due to prediabetes, processing application for my school grant) and it is fitting as it is my Saturn Return. I think what stuck to me was when I was on my own and somewhat “holing up” during this retrograde, I heard myself say, “It’s time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and just GET what you freakin’ WANT!” It so happens that a lot of the Saturnian issues work its way to the Plutonian issues as I struggle a lot with self-esteem issues which cause me to act self-destructively in the past. I guess you can say I’m ready to change all that so I can be at my best.
pluto is in my 5th, opposing jupiter in my 11th. i don’t have a specific plan, but maybe should get one.
i’m expecting my daughter to move cross-country during this time, which makes sense. and am also doing more public work with my websites (or trying to) so i’m not exactly sure how it’s going to play. i guess we’ll see…
Pluto in my 12th was a great transit, except for the part where it opposed my moon.
No plan, except keeping on doing what I’m doing.
Pluto is still in my 7th house and has been for a while. Hmmm no plan yet just too keep on keepin’ on.
Pluto’s nearing the end of my 5th- a fine period for romance, no? Haha.
I think not being “afraid of the dark”, as you say, is what makes it so valuable rather than terrifying. I get a couple more years off before Pluto enters my 6th and starts squaring… oh, pretty much everything. Whee!
“I can’t wait to get back on task with someone of my favorite topics of all time, like the shadow side of parenting, manipulation in business and government, all facets of power (Pluto) and control (Capricorn) and the decay of structures / systems of all types.”
Lol…I can’t wait to get back to the creative stuff–it’s transiting opp. Venus for me.
It’ll be another 8 yrs or so before Pluto hits my 12th…stuck in my 11th right now…I’ll be glad to see Pluto moving forward again…so much feels “stagnant” right now
well, i bit hte bullet, but haven’t set anything into motion. waiting to settle… thinking maybe that would be the time to start moving on it.
knowing how pluto this entire experience is starting to feel.
Pluto’s been playing yoyo over my Saturn in 11th.
Both the forward and the backward passes have been incredibly difficult yet incredibly rich.
It’s amazing the difference awareness makes. “These are the energies at play, and these are my options for dealing with them.” I feel awareness has enabled me to make BETTER CHOICES.
I look forward with eagerness to Sept. 11 and forward motion resuming. I’ve got a number of things in motion, and some things must die (somehow, someway, somewhen) to make room for new things already being conceived and gestated.
That forward motion will also mean my Pluto transit by square to my 4-part core-personal stellium in Libra will kick in full force. I am looking forward to that even more.
I’m fully intending and actively dedicated to making this a truly major transformation of my life, on all fronts. All irons are already in the fire.
I can’t WAIT!!!! I am so over Pluto being conjunct my ASC. Gimme the first house!!!
Vajra I had my SR in my 8th as well as Pluto in 12th/conjunct ASC and once I got over the intense paranoia that I was going to die (never knew if I was having premonitions or not). Awareness practice sounds like the perfect approach.
I can’t wait. Feels like so much crap has come to my awareness the past season and I’m dying to get moving no matter what Pluto has in store for me. I have a Pluto sun conj natally at 3 libra. So I’m riding the square and loving it so far. A song lyric has been with me this summer
” I told my love to wreck it all. Cut all the ropes
And let me fall”. Bon Iver
My love does want to wreck it all and I’m so there !
Pluto has been transiting my 4th house for a while and last year caused quite a ruckus *laughs*- but with this recent retrograde things have actually started to smooth out with family/home life–
Getting along with my Dad better than I ever have and for once we’re actually living together without fighting all the time =) Nice to be back with him, his temper seems to have gone way done and he seems to be more excepting of me in general.
Pluto is just beginning to transit my tenth house. Yes, I have plans and have been slowly moving forward but I am ready to quicken the pace. I am looking forward to Pluto moving forward. The Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron conjunction has felt increasingly mushy. A lot of people seemed to be bogged down in wishy washy mush.
i hope pluto would do me good. cap/cap asccendant. jup/nep/chiron conj. blew me last spring when mercuty was retrograde when bf (lbra) broke up with me and told me with insulting ease that he found a new love…phew!
Hmm, I left my job when Pluto was going retrograde and Uranus was conjunct my sun. Pluto is currently in my 10th house. Started that job when Pluto was conjunct my MC. Weird. Wonder if Pluto going direct will help with job search? I don’t know much about this planet… it’s always scared me.
I’m drinking coconut water, and pau d’arco teas, to tone up my internal organs and immune system. These substances destroy viruses like swine flu which I think is a biological weapon designed to reduce the population. I will not be taking any vaccines.
I have Pluto conjunct Jupiter on my 1st house. I want to make films that challenge the status quo of everything wrong in the world.
I also think I’m due for a physical transformation. The first house rules the body and appearance. I’m a skinny guy. It’s time to look like a superhero.
Despite the economic downturn, pluto still makes me think I can win the lottery or somehow attract a gigantic windfall.
Pluto has heightened my sex drive to such a degree that I could be a great porn star, (but I’m not going with that plan). Being single is really hard. (no pun intended).
Michael Jackson was born with his Sun conjunct Pluto. So with Jupiter being almost the “2nd Sun” of our solar system, I can’t help but feel as though I could too use my life to impact the world, triggering positive growth, on a grand scale.
Mystery Z, you Win The Internet for that pun. 
Actually, being a male porn star is damned difficult work and you don’t get paid all that well cuz you’re not the focus, just the prop. Unless you do gay porn. I’m just sayin’. 
Sorry, shop talk. 
Thanks Elsa. Been a fan since my Saturn return in ‘03. Just now coming out of the shadows to say stuff. .
