So, have you ever felt like the universe just decided to hit the reset button on your life? Yeah, me too! Recently, I’ve encountered quite a few souls navigating the intense waters of Pluto transiting the angles of their charts. Believe me, if you’re feeling isolated and a bit discombobulated—you’re definitely not alone! This article aims to shed some light on what it really means when Pluto, the planet of transformation and sometimes chaos, messes with your angles. Expect to uncover not just the challenges, but the potential for profound rebirth that comes with this transit. Grab a comfy seat, and let’s dive into this journey through the shadows. LEARN MORE.

Recently, I’ve had a slew of people with Pluto crossing an angle of their chart. It’s such an isolating transit, I thought I’d pull this up so people going through this, currently, can have some company!

One disclaimer: I use EQUAL houses. When I say “angles of your chart”, that’s exactly what I mean. I am referring to Pluto transits over the angles of your chart, where the angles are the same degree as your ascendant.

Pluto transits over the angles of your chart are invariably drastic and life-changing. For example, when Pluto crossed my midheaven,  my life took such a turn, I had to live underground for close to ten years. Me! A social, outspoken person.

Prior to this transit, I’d always lived in the light. I was listed in the phonebook by the time I was 17 years old. All the sudden I ceased to exist in public (10th house) life. Not only that, I lie dormant for nearly a decade.

I know a man, he’s a Virgo with a Sagittarius Moon.  He’s a vibrant, kind, active person. When Pluto crossed his descendant, he had a motorcycle accident that wound up costing him his foot and leg below the knee.  He owned a business with an office in an open loft above the ground floor of the large open space that housed his operations.

I watched him hop up those stairs on his one leg, after that accident, wondering just exactly how he could manage.  He had a family who relied on him, foot or no foot. I guess that was that.

Not everyone has a Pluto transit an angle of their chart in their lifetime but some people have this transit twice.  I will fall in this group, provided I live a through 2021. That’s when Pluto will cross my ascendant.

Update – I’m updating this post, in 2024, post Pluto transiting across my ascendant.  I was obliterated by this transit. I spent about two years, feeling “voided” as a person.  Sort of like a gutted, husk of a human being.

I compare this to a forest, burned to the ground.  There is nothing, for a period of time. But now new growth is appearing as I begin to rise from the ashes.  It’s a classic Pluto story.  Can’t say that I’ve enjoyed it, though. While I like to brood, I prefer sunny days!

Bottom line, a Pluto transit to an angle of your chart, wipes out the structure of your life… there’s a void period, after which you re-emerge and flourish.

Update in 2026 – Pluto is 8 degrees beyond my ascendant and I feel this transit is behind me. I’m stronger than I have ever been. I feel I’ve been refined and come away with tremendous clarity. I would not like to rewind, but admit I comfortable with “raw” life. I don’t know that another person would feel the way I do.

Have you ever had Pluto transit an angle of your chart? What happened?
