Transit Watch: Saturn Square Pluto, “Intense Crush” - You Can See It Coming…
My eye on the sky
We are getting closer to the first exact aspect of Saturn in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn and I am seeing manifestations of this is every day. The actual events aren’t happening yet but you can see them coming if you are anywhere near someone with planets or angles at 0-5 degrees Cardinal.
This is so hard core, I made a tag, “crush” because I am working with a lot of clients caught in this and I want to be able to send them a link of posts related so they can get a feel for this demanding and unforgiving energy.
It is not that there is no positive way to work with it because there is but is requires a person to submit to forces greater than they are which is not the Cardinal-type personalities forte.
As to specifically what I am seeing comeuppance as far as relationship goes is a big one. For example one gal who has readily been able to screw men out of money throughout her life is now getting screwed out of hers. Do you think that is fun? This is the kind of thing people are in for. It is like the end of an AGE.
To contrast and show the variety of manifestations, I know another gal with planets (Jupiter and Uranus) in the early degrees of the Cardinal signs. She is set to end a LIFETIME of celibacy so tell me this isn’t a big deal…
What do you see going on out there?

pretty much everybody i know is under some sort of pressure, some intense. nothing’s snapped yet, but there’s a smell of precarious in the air.
yeah, the events aren’t happening yet but you can see them ready to happen and pretty much know they will happen. For example, the gal I mentioned has not gone to court yet but when she does, the outcome is all but guaranteed due what the law states. The word “inevitable” is the one that comes up which means, this concept can be applied and used to a person’s benefit if they are smart.
totally being forced to finally get around to figuring out this libra stuff… and it’s only beginning.
i don’t mind. i need to, and it’s for a good purpose, but wrapping my head around stopping the aries/aquarius “do everything myself” locomotive is some work.
Elsa, if this is the pressure builder, then when is the EXPLOSION?
Peaks at the exact aspect but the week before is probably most intense and people who have personal planets and angles most affected, however if you are standing right next to them, this means YOU.
Thank you.
Hmm, I usually consider myself rather self aware, but right now I don’t see anything coming that is crushing in nature. I did, however, decide to forgo the traditional publishing route with regards to my novel, and have felt a huge lift of pressure from off of my shoulders with regards to that. Also a strong drive to fulfill my design to get my book into the hands of its intended audience anyway, and feel quite positive about that. I’ve been writing the book for about six years, so it is an end of an era in a way, to finally make this choice.
Sun 2 degrees Libra, is the only truly early cardinal thing in my chart.
I have been a total bitch for the past two days. Have no clue why. I have a aries midheaven, cancer rising and capricorn mars. Maybe I am just a bitch.
Mars is in Cancer right now, so maybe mars is opposite your natal Mars in Capricorn…
A crush, all right. Libra rules Venus. Venus is in my natal 2nd house.
MONEY.
I’m in a bind right now - a deep kind of pressure. Since I discovered that I was not accepted in the school/college of my choice for January, I am forced to apply in Sept. 2010 and January 2011 instead. My employment insurance will be running out in July next year..
… So that means I need to come up with a strategy to make money yet if I return to my old (and stressful) career, which I do not want to anymore, I will no longer be eligible for the grant that will send me to school because I returned to my old profession.
So yeah… It’s a lot of pressure right now with regards to money.
Good luck Lunalie
I hope everyone stays well through these transits.
Libra is in my 12th house. Maybe that’s why I don’t notice anything! Or actually, I am feeling an itch to do something to help people. Maybe a charity like The Heifer Project?
I’m there. Plan was to go scouting for a new place to encamp our vardo for winter, tomorrow…things have changed today … for the while … i’m crushed and reconsidering … what/wait/ha?
Well this is going to hit all of my angles + my 0 degree sun and my 4 degree jupiter right on my DC.
My relationship is loose at the hinges at the moment because we’re both at a crossroads in our own lives. I want to go overseas after I graduate in May and he wants to move to to another city. Anyway, this is all probably going the direction that so many relationships with people my age go. Nothing wrong with that, though. We both understand we have lives and have very loose views about committed relationships. Who knows what will happen. As far as pressure goes, I am used to it at this point after the transits I have been in for the last few years. Bring it on.
Thanks for the report. CRUSH!!!
I feel it and see it all around me on many levels.
Pluto crossing IC and Saturn giving my Libra rising a cold eye. I feel it already. I’m looking ahead by reminding myself to distribute my energy … equally. Don’t ask me exactly how you balance this intensity, but I’m WORKING on it….no choice in the matter!!
Ah, shite! Man, I read these things, then promptly forget until reminded again. *laughs* I so need to schedule a consult so E can hand me my ass and get me prepared. ![]()
Lindsey, I’ve got almost the same: Saturn crossing N.Node/IC axes, Pluto crossing DSC. How are you planning on working this effect? ‘Cause I’m still planning my “attack.” ![]()
I hope my “plan C’s” work out because there’s no plans D, E or F remaining.
This is so right on my 1 deg Capricorn moon. So, yeah, I agree. I’m “crushing” everybody around me with my emotions. Forceful ones of course.
I feel like walking with a big foot.
My 7th house ruler Mercury is at 6 Libra.
I’ve no idea how it came about, but right now I’m actually the one doing the crushing. That is to say, I’m being pressured, but remain completely unruffled, and this is driving several people up the wall. Seems I have other concerns: The real struggle less than a dozen people know about; T Saturn on my 8th house Sun and square Asc.
I’m waiting.
My sr will happen precisely the day it will turn into libra, right on my sun.
I’m in the process to give birth to my very own creative career, and I do every single syep as if I were walking on glass.
What is crushing is my emotional reluctance.
My emotional bounderies are crushing down.
I open up and I feel lighter, wich helps when you have to walk on broken glasses.
Rkkggg, congrats! That’s inspiring to me and my languishing manuscript.
Sometimes I am more grateful for my 12th House Pluto/ASC conjunction than I can say. I am preparing to be as flexible as I can. Not easy with my 2 fixed T-squares and 2 fixed Cardinal squares.
I’m up for the challenge though, guess that’s half the battle.
Well, I woke up tonight to my Aries with planets at early degrees of the sign telling me how much he loves me in the most heartfelt way. We have both Virgo Ascendents (and his Venus is in Taurus…) and tend to manifest our love by pratical gestures rather than by words, so yes, he must have felt a crushing need to manifest his feelings. And it felt really amazing after all the Saturn-Uranus excitement I’m going through…
Hey look at this. Mars in 0º Libra and Mercury in 30º Sag. Hey Pluto-Saturn! Then, Sun is 26º Sag, now square by both Saturn and Uranus. And Neptune-Jupiter in rising 26º Aquarius!! I want to turn my life upside down. From nothing to everything. Go far far away. There is no biggest T-square than this BIG one!
Oh, this just gives me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. When this thread was posted I went through something that was indeed crushing but it showed me how bad it feels to have been treated the way I have treated people in the past.
Now, I am working on building a relationship with someone and a whoooole bunch of things came out and it seems like everything will be ok…
but this has got me scared cause I am sure I deserve some heavy karma my way
I do have planets in Libra but none at those degrees.
*nervous*
I have jupiter at 5 degrees libra and uranus at 1 degree libra. I also have my rising at 22 degrees virgo which means that saturn is currently in my 1st house. I am looking at going back to school which will mean selling my house and moving west(again). I have really been enjoying time with my family here on the east coast but my life has been so dull out here. I have been here for two years after 20 years out west. I find myself really clinging to home and family even though something so deep inside me is calling me out west. Elsa, you had talked about a saturn-pluto crush that wiped you out two years ago. Could you explain where the planets were and what was happening at that time? I am curious since I had a similar thing occur two - three years ago. I want to research it more if you could give me more details. Thanks ~ Charlene
