Okay, let’s talk about that Jupiter opposite Pluto transit thing. I wasn’t really paying super close attention to astrology dates back then, but things started feeling… intense. Like something big was brewing under the surface, you know?
Getting Started: Noticing the Vibe
It began subtly. I just felt this weird pressure building up. Not like stress from work, more like a deep internal push-and-pull. My usual optimism, that Jupiter vibe, felt like it was hitting a brick wall. And that wall felt heavy, immovable, kinda like Pluto energy people talk about.
So, I decided to actually pay attention. I didn’t go digging into complicated charts right away. First step was just noticing. I started keeping a simple log. Just a small notebook, jotting down things each day:

- How I felt – specifically the big, underlying moods.
- Any weird power struggles I noticed – at work, with family, even just seeing it play out on the news.
- Moments where my beliefs felt challenged, or where I suddenly saw the ‘ugly truth’ behind something I used to think was great.
- Any big urges to just tear something down and rebuild it, whether it was a project, a relationship dynamic, or even just how I managed my money.
The Thick of It: Dealing with the Clash
Man, it got messy for a bit. There were definitely some confrontations. I remember one specific argument with a higher-up at my old job. I felt this massive urge to speak my truth, like Jupiter was pumping me full of confidence, but it slammed right into their need for control, that Pluto thing. It didn’t go well initially. Felt like I’d overstepped, pushed too hard.
There were also internal battles. Doubting my own judgment. Was I being idealistic (Jupiter) or was I seeing a harsh reality (Pluto)? It forced me to get really honest with myself. I had to look at parts of myself I didn’t like – where maybe I was the one trying to control things too much, or where my beliefs were actually pretty flimsy when put under pressure.
I tried different things to manage the intensity. Spent more time alone, just thinking. Tried to channel that powerful energy into something physical, like tackling a big house project I’d been putting off. Didn’t always work. Sometimes I just felt overwhelmed, like being caught in a riptide.
Breaking Through: What I Found
Gradually, things started shifting. It wasn’t like a switch flipped, more like a slow dawn after a long night. The key thing I realized was about power. Not just external power, like bosses or governments, but my own internal power. Where did I give it away? Where did I hoard it?
That Jupiter opposite Pluto thing forced me to see where my beliefs (Jupiter) were built on shaky ground and needed a reality check (Pluto). It wasn’t about destroying my optimism, but making it more grounded, more real. Less pie-in-the-sky, more rooted in what is.

I had to let go of some stuff. Some old ideas about how the world should work. Some relationships that were based on unequal power dynamics. It wasn’t easy. Felt like pulling teeth sometimes. But getting through it, looking back now, I can see it cleared out a lot of dead wood.
So yeah, that transit. It was rough. It dug deep. But honestly? Facing those uncomfortable truths, those power struggles head-on, it ultimately made things… stronger. More authentic. It wasn’t fun while it lasted, but the clarity I got on the other side was worth the struggle. Just took time, honesty, and riding the waves without drowning.
