Alright, let’s talk about this Saturn and Pluto square thing. It wasn’t something I just read about in a book; I kinda lived through it, you know? It felt like a period where things got really intense, heavy. So, I decided to actually track what was going on, see how it played out for me personally.
How I Started Tracking It
First off, I pulled up my own birth chart. Had to see where these two planets, Saturn and Pluto, were hanging out and where this tough square aspect was actually hitting me personally. Which areas of my life were likely to get squeezed? That gave me a starting point, areas to watch.
Then, I just started paying closer attention. Like, really observing day-to-day stuff. I kept a simple notebook, nothing fancy. Just jotted down:

- Moments where I felt blocked or restricted (that felt very Saturn).
- Times when power dynamics felt really obvious, either mine or someone else’s (hello, Pluto).
- Situations where old ways of doing things just weren’t cutting it anymore.
- Any big endings or necessary transformations that seemed forced upon me.
I wasn’t trying to predict the future or anything dramatic. More like collecting data on my own life, seeing if the ‘vibe’ matched what this square was supposed to be about.
What I Noticed During the Practice
Man, it was something. Definitely felt the pressure. It was like being put in a vise grip sometimes. Old fears I thought I’d dealt with? They popped right back up. Things I’d built, maybe foundations I thought were solid, started showing cracks. It wasn’t comfortable, not at all.
I saw it in my work life – structures changing, authority being challenged or becoming heavier. Had to really take responsibility, couldn’t just coast. Relationships too, especially ones where power wasn’t balanced, went through some serious tests. Secrets or hidden things had a way of coming to the surface, which was pure Pluto energy right there.
It forced me to get real honest. Where was I cutting corners? Where was I holding onto control too tightly because I was scared? Where did I need to tear something down completely and rebuild it on a more solid, truthful foundation? There was no escaping the hard look in the mirror.
The End Result of My Observation
Looking back at my notes and just reflecting on that whole period, the main takeaway was about resilience, but the kind you earn. It wasn’t easy, felt like wading through concrete mix some days. But going through that process of facing limitations (Saturn) and confronting the deep, hidden stuff (Pluto) actually made me stronger in the long run.

I had to let go of things I thought were essential. Had to rebuild certain parts of my life, my routines, even my beliefs. It was a ‘breaking down to build back better’ kind of deal. Painful? Yeah. Necessary? Looking back, absolutely. You clear out the rot so something healthier can grow. That square really pushed me to do that deep cleaning, whether I initially wanted to or not.
