Transit Watch: Jupiter Square Pluto – February 25, 2011 – Violent Upheaval
My eye on the sky.
Jupiter in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn exact on February 25, 2011. We see widespread (Jupiter) angry attacks (Aries) against various governments and other structures (Capricorn) like the unions or the “little people” depending on your perspective (Jupiter).
The square takes place @ 7 degrees Cardinal and if you have personal planets near that degree, you can expect to be very personally affected. To use this energy in a positive manner, think in terms of broad overhaul of the status quo in your life.
You can see this energy in action on this blog as the status quo (me) goes down to make way for expansion and a new beginning.
How is this energy manifesting in your life?

I have Mars in Aries sq. Capricorn Moon, very tight aspect to this. My bf goes back to the specialist to hopefully find out about his mystery illness and deal with another health problem the came up while he was being treated for the illness.
There are a lot of unnerving and downright scary coincidences happening for me right now. Scary because they point to something huge and ugly in the corner of the room I don’t think I’m prepared to see.
Good luck with your appt. Jilly
hmmm..I had this transit marked on my calendar for some reason. And was getting ready to ask about it on the boards and saw your post.
Interesting.
It will hit my 11th house and that makes sense because I have my own perspective that I will be sharing soon that will affect a certain structure and will surely piss some people off that are related in an 11th house way. But I have a feeling their reaction will be one where tehy will want to rise up and protect me (not pissed off at me but pissed at circumstance) and I’ll have to deal directly with that because the reasons they are going to think this is happening is not really the full reason for it.
Well now..was that foggy enough for ya? Nept to Nept square is creeping in, at 5 degrees now..lol
I get the fear, Caroline but really you have been begging and bucking for change for awhile so I am optimistic around this for you. 
I have one of those work meetings tomorrow where they talk about the budget, followed by career counseling where I am primarily going to ask about what happens if/when I get canned. Not gonna be an upper day. Friday I am supposedly getting a past life regression done (finally), but I’ve been trying to get this done for over a year and last month’s session got postponed, so now I am thinking maybe it just won’t freaking happen ever and why get my hopes up.
My natal moon is 7 degrees Cappy (8th or 9th house depending on system used)… My Jupiter is 2 degrees Aries (11th or 12th house)… No wonder I feel so funky lately…
My Natal Venus sits at 4 degrees Aries, Jupiter has just transited that, Im thinking this is why the ‘sparkle’ of the Jupiter transit of my Venus was a bit subdued. I also have Pluto squaring my Venus, and being a Taurean Sun and Mars, im well and truly mojo-less at the moment.
Pluto sitting directly on 8th house cusp in opposition to moon (7 cancer) also being squared by Jupiter….not excited.
“…think in terms of broad overhaul of the status quo in your life.”
Sun in Aries at 4 degrees. Been feeling it already. A bit anxious, but also a bit excited. At least it isn’t boring! 
Venus in Aries at 3 degrees 10th house squaring Uranus in Capricorn at 9 degrees 7th house. Argh, I wish I knew what this means for me!
I’ve got my moon at 5 Cancer. It’s hitting my sense of security, as well as my family’s, and I am unable to really emotionally dis-attach from it all. Luckily natal Jupiter sextiles, so I’m trying to see silver linings and remain optimistic.
Pluto chucked my status quo out the window last year… Maybe this year, the rebuilding of my life can begin, in earnest… With only 13 more years of Pluto in Cappy, I’d better get busy! LOL! All of this Pisces and then Aries and then in mid-May, the Taurus will hit my chart many multiple times!
So, yeah, I have my helmet on! And my roll cage is all locked down! I have the feeling I’m about to fall down the rabbit-hole! I’m Mad as A Hatter! Yay! Aries!
Good luck, jennifer. I hope it’s fruitful for you!
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it…but I was just granted a job, and now I’ve just lost it…
Aries Sun 7th Square Pluto conj. natal Neptune 4th
Jilly, I am not surprised. (((Jilly))) It is extreme stress but if you stick to your principles…
i could use a broad overhaul of the status quo in my life. & since i’m completely incompetent when it comes to initiating much-needed change in my life, i guess a violent upheaval will have to do!
Elsa,
I’m feeling what (thefeloniousmonk) has said.
I have Jupiter in Leo 11/12th house and Pluto in Virgo 12th I will not allow anyone to destroy my inner peace. I’ve been doing my inner work and if I can do it others must do their as well. My ex called me this morning to discuss his driver’s license suspension of course he wanted to attack the system and me to but I put him in his place and told him to have a nice day and hung up the phone. Then I received a called from one of my employees who said her daughter just got arrested.
Elsa, I am also learning that I have to strengthen my boundaries so that people do not affect my inner peace; and if this looks terrible to others they can go to hell. Period! I mean, I’m strongly setting my boundaries. I don’t need energy thieves/vampires sucking on my positive vibration right now.
Oh no, maybe this is why I feel all angsty…
natal Saturn is 5 degrees Aries, 2nd house. Transiting Pluto will be from the 12th. This can’t be good, can it?
I wouln’t mind less status quo, if the shake up was good, but this sounds (potentially) scary!
But that said, so far nothing is manifesting in my life that seems related…*knocks wood*
Jupiter in 3rd House squares Pluto in 12th conj my natal Cappy moon … and that Pluto opposes my natal Pluto in the 7th house. My cloistered moon (the status quo) is getting lots more exposure. It needs it, but that’s something I fear “exposures.”
Navigating my way back into the light and relating differently IS scary. I get the feel of ‘not-alone-ness’ when I come here. So geez, Elsa et. al. thanks I so need the practice!!
My Sun is 7’57 Libra, 2nd house. Need to say more ? I’m also affected by the Mars/Neptune, although to a minor degree. The situation at work has become tense. It’s a combination of many things, some of the strife I feel is definitely internal (Cappy Moon being harsh on herself, Sun/Pluto power issues…), but there definitely are some leadership issues here.
Monday morning, I had a mild panic attack just thinking about having to face yet another week of the madness. Yesterday, I actually stood up to my boss (second time in two weeks). Today, after having very little sleep but a very illuminating tarot reading, I decided to start working on some small improvements at work I can make without hearing my boss. I may feel like crying half of the time (interestingly, I can’t), but I just feel that this is what I’m supposed to do, I need to be assertive, instead of just quitting.
Time will tell how this will work, but I think this really needs to be done now.
Yikes. I’ve been watching this one, but I honestly can’t see “it” yet. I have Mars in the 10th at 8 Aries & my MC is 5 Aries. Jupiter is right smack inbetween them now AND opposing my Uranus at 8 Libra (and IC). And Pluto is squaring all this from the 6th.
I AM working on a lot of business stuff (yay!), but — knock on wood — I haven’t had my world shaken up yet. I think Pluto is just being too sneaky & secretive! Unless, this whole brand new business enterprise of mine IS the status quo shake up! Then in that case… I’m already living this! I hope that’s it… because I’m OK with that!
looking forward to the resurrection of my mojo..
“The square takes place @ 7 degrees Cardinal and if you have personal planets near that degree, you can expect to be very personally affected.”
Will this affect personal planets at that degree in other signs or in Cardinal houses?
I had this same transit hitting my Libra Sun last July and August. It was definitely a period of “clean up this shit now.” So put on your rubber boots and take your vitamins, folks. But it was all good, all stuff that needed to be done, and all stuff that forced me to assert my sense of self and make some decisions that needed to be made. And now with that transit 6 months behind me, I can see that they were all good decisions.
If you’ve got a “pile of shit” that needs to be shovelled, now is the time.
jupiter will be exactly trine my venus that day.
i think i can see this at work… i’ve been carrying feelings for someone for far too long. and i finally feel like i’m done. painful, but a good thing.
i’m ready for that new beginning now.
Jupiter conj natal Jupiter/Asc sq Pluto sitting on natal Chiron in 10th. If I survive, I’ll let you know how it went. {{shudder}}
DAMN IT!
Specialist has the flu, so no answers to anything tomorrow. Re-scheduled for the 22 of March.
Ugh
Out with the old and in with the new! My way of life, my values, my sense of self, my hobbies, my friends, my activities, my mood… hopefully my living conditions too. Everything that was must go and be replaced with a shiny new me! t Uranus trine natal Uranus in 1st too. I don’t need violent widespread upheavals against old structures, I have it happening right here inside of me!
Thanks for clarifying, Elsa! I do feel happy. . .just because. Pluto in 12 trine Sun in 4; Jupiter in 3 semi-sextile Sun. Ready for more infusion.
Jupiter will be in the 6th house trine mars and square venus which pluto is conjunct. These are the areas of my life that I have been needing to transform so hopefully I will feel a positive change. Pluto is starting to square himself too…hopeing for positive change and trying hard to work toward it.
Hm, another question: if you have planets earlier than the appointed degree, does it still count as a transit/conjunction, or should you assume you’re off the hook because your planet was at 3 degrees whatever?
I’m experiencing my Jupiter Return right now, and Jupiter is a part of my T-Square with Saturn and Pluto (Pluto directly opposed). I don’t know what to expect – Jupiter in my 5th in Placidus, and the 6th in Equal.
it’s getting into my orb. things are starting to weird out a bit.
Exact on my Libra Mars. I have no clue what to expect, honestly, and I’ve been abusing my Robert Hand’s “Transits” book lately.

Natal sun at 6 degrees 50′ Aries, in 8th house. Pluto aspecting from natal 5th. I am learning that I have to strengthen my boundaries so that people do not affect my inner peace. I’m not sure how Pluto in the 5th is working to force this thickening of my outer skin, but I it’s clear that a part of my ego is being destroyed in the process.
