Astrological Transits: Outer Planets

Pluto Transits: Pain, challenges and transformations. This is a transit not for the lighthearted. With the conjunction, depending on the house transiting Pluto is in, you will experience a powerful force destabilizing your world. It’s almost as if you are standing along in an unknown area in the darkness and are trying to see which way to go. The square and opposition forced you to face challenges, even if you have been avoiding or prepping for them, they will still feel sudden and painful. This is a time for necessary growth to shape you for years to come. The transits happening in the Angular Houses serve to push us to reach a new level of consciousness. We are no longer the same after dealing with Pluto, there is no turning back. Our new persona wields the strength to face challenges in the future.

Saturn Transits: Mentally crippling, challenging but you end with a powerful tool after the transit. Self discovery and discipline are acquired. Here we are faced with where we have failed to thrive and we learn the harsh lessons after the transit. If we fail, we continue to learn until it sticks to us. This is a transit for growth, introspection and self love. The gifts that you receive will allow for you to not fall back into old patterns. Saturn conjunctions to personal planets make you work. Stopping is not an option, especially when there is a conjunction with the Sun. Venus makes you care about loyalty and self control, Moon restricts you from feeling emotions you have been trying to bury. A Saturn conjunction with Mercury makes you more inclined to think before you speak. Oppositions and squares teach you to learn about balance, self control and organization.

Neptune Transits: A literal dream state. Foggy memory, hard to stay focused and motivated. These transits are pleasant for those who want to escape the real world because they present a glamorized version of reality. The lessons here are to face the hardships, accept the pain you feel and to release thoughts from the past. Stop glamorizing the past and learn to live in the present. Face your fears and tackle challenges with a clear mind and open eyes. This is a transit where you’ll encounter charlatans and when natal Venus is aspected by transiting Neptune, we will idealize most of the people who we may be interested in becoming romantically involved with. It can become challenging when the natal Sun is conjunct, Square or Opposing Neptune because we can become more forgiving towards people who do not deserve it. Learn your limits and set boundaries during this transit. You’ll become more aware of the people around you after it’s over.

Uranus Transits: Unexpected news, relocation, new people. For those who like stability and fear change, this transit can give you a dose of anxiety and fear. This transit helps us to deal with the unexpected. We learn to cut ties, trust our decision making. Uranus alleviates the pressures felt in the House it is transiting. I personally enjoy Uranus transits because it allows you to remove any blockages in energy, paving the way for better things. When it conjuncts your Sun, you feel a burst of energy that is challenging at first because it can feel like you’re in the middle of a storm but once the clouds clear and the rain stops, you see a new and better perspective. The Moon and Venus connections promote change in relationships or overall growth. Mercury allows you to explore new ways of thinking. The Opposition and Square are not as challenging as Pluto and Saturn but if you are against change, it can feel painful. Embrace the changes that come with these Uranus transits that aspect your personal planets because you will look back and be mesmerized with who you’ve become.

Chiron Transits: Chiron is a special one. It is not an outer planet but a comet. It’s influence is very similar to an outer planet because it moves at a slower pace than personal ones. Astrologers will emphasize how Chiron also teaches lessons and allows us to find the perfect path to healing. This transit is filled with heavy energy because it digs deep into our psyche allowing for a new method of processing things we have avoided that have caused us pain in the past. This transit wants you to come face to face with whatever trauma is hidden in the House it is transiting as well as the House it is aspecting with your personal planets. You are pressured to find a form of release or therapy to handling issues. People will go to therapists, seek Yoga instructors or start to write, paint, sing as outlets to clear out their trauma. Chiron teaches us how to live with our failures, our demons and how to confront fears. It tells us what is hidden in the shadows, it shows us what we need to do and it is up to us to find good methods to clearing out trauma. This transit can allow you to become a mentor yourself because you have endured and survived. Expect a new sense of strength and power after the transit. You will feel lighter and freer.
