Okay, so I’ve been feeling off lately. Like, super irritable and kinda…intense. I’m usually pretty chill, so this was weird. I do a little astrology dabbling, mostly just for fun, you know? So I checked my transits and BAM! Sun square Pluto. I’d heard of it, but never really felt it before.
I decided I was gonna try to work with this energy, not against it. So first, I did some digging online. Everything talked about power struggles, intense emotions, maybe some hidden stuff coming to light. Great. Just great.
The Deep Dive Begins
My first step? Journaling. I grabbed my notebook and just started writing. Everything. All the frustrations, the little annoyances, the BIG stuff I’d been avoiding. It was messy, okay? A total brain dump. I didn’t even try to make sense of it, just let it all out. And wow, it felt…relieving. Like popping a zit. Gross, but satisfying.
- Wrote for like, a solid hour. Non-stop.
- Filled up, I don’t know, maybe ten pages?
After the journaling, I felt…lighter. But also, exhausted. So, I decided some serious self-care was in order.
Self-Care to the Rescue (Hopefully)
I started with a long, hot shower. Seriously, I stayed in there until the water started to get cold. I used my fancy, expensive body scrub – the one I usually save for “special occasions.” Because, you know what? Dealing with intense planetary transits IS a special occasion. A special occasion of feeling like crap.
Next up, I did some yoga. Nothing crazy, just some gentle stretches. I focused on my breathing. Inhaling the good vibes, exhaling the…Plutonian intensity, I guess. I even put on some relaxing music. You know, those nature sounds with the flutes and stuff. Super cheesy, but it helped.
The Results (So Far)
Honestly? I still feel the intensity. It’s not like it magically disappeared. But, I feel…better equipped to handle it. Like, instead of being a tiny boat in a hurricane, I’m a slightly bigger boat. With a slightly stronger anchor.
I’ve also noticed I’m more aware of my reactions. I caught myself before snapping at my partner earlier, which is a HUGE win. Usually, I’d just fly off the handle. Progress!
I have been continuing this for a few days, and I think I have been getting better with it, and I think I can make it!
This whole Sun square Pluto thing is still a work in progress. But I’m committed to riding it out, and maybe even learning something about myself along the way. It’s definitely not fun, but maybe it’s…necessary? I’ll keep you posted.
