Okay, so I’ve been feeling off lately. Like, super irritable and just…blah. I’m usually pretty good at keeping my cool, but everything has been setting me off. My usual routine felt draining. So, I decided to look into what was going on astrologically, because, why not?

Turns out, we’re in a Sun square Pluto transit. I kinda knew what that meant in theory – power struggles, intensity, the works – but I wanted to really understand how it was manifesting for me.
Digging Into My Chart
First, I pulled up my birth chart. I use this app, it’s pretty simple. I located my Sun and Pluto placements. Seeing where they fall in my chart gave me the first clue. The houses they’re in highlight the areas of life where this transit’s energy is most likely to play out.
Then, I looked at the current position of the Sun and Pluto. The “square” aspect means they’re forming a 90-degree angle, which basically screams tension. It’s like two forces butting heads.
Tracking the Feels
Next, I started journaling. Like, really journaling. Not just “today I did this,” but “today I felt THIS and I think it’s because…” I paid attention to:
- My triggers: What specifically was setting me off?
- My reactions: How was I responding to those triggers?
- My underlying desires: What did I really want in those moments?
- Any power dynamics: Where did I feel powerless, or like I was trying to control things?
It was kinda messy at first. Lots of scribbled-out thoughts and frustrated rants. But, slowly, I began to see patterns.
Connecting the Dots
The journaling helped me see some key patterns.
For example, a situration with coworker, and how that tied into a deeper fear of not being valued, and a desire to control the situation.
Making Changes
I am working on.
This Sun square Pluto transit, it is intense!
It’s not magic, and it’s definitely a work in progress, but taking the time to understand the astrology and how it connects to my real-life experiences has been… enlightening, to say the least. I’m still feeling the intensity, but now I at least have a roadmap for navigating it.
