Okay, so today I decided to mess around with this whole “Mars trine Pluto” thing. I’d heard about it, seen some stuff online, but never really done anything with it. I figured, why not give it a shot and see what happens?
First, I grabbed my birth chart. I mean, you can’t really do anything astrological without that, right? I already had it saved on my computer from some other time I was poking around with astrology stuff. Found my Mars and Pluto placements – easy peasy.
Next, I checked if I even had a Mars trine Pluto aspect in my natal chart. Turns out, nope! But, I was curious about the transit, you know, where the planets are right now. So, I pulled up a transit chart online. Just googled “transit chart calculator” and used the first one that popped up.

I entered my birth info and the current date. Then, I scanned the chart looking for that little triangle symbol – that’s the trine. And… bingo! Mars and Pluto are currently in a trine aspect. Cool!
What I Did to “Embrace” It
- Started a new project: I’ve had this idea for a website kicking around in my head for ages. Today felt like the day to actually start it. I didn’t finish, obviously, but I got the basic framework set up.
- Tackled a tough workout: Normally, I’m a yoga kind of person. But today, I felt this urge to just push myself. So I did a super intense HIIT workout. Felt amazing afterwards (and totally exhausted).
- Had a really honest conversation: There’s been something I’ve been meaning to talk to my friend about, but I’ve been putting it off. Today, I just went for it. It was a little awkward, but ultimately, I’m glad I did it.
Honestly, I don’t know if it was actually the Mars trine Pluto energy or just a coincidence, but I definitely felt more driven and productive today. I got a bunch of stuff done that I’d been procrastinating on, and I felt pretty good about it. Might try this again next time these two planets are in a good mood with each other!
