So look for the place where your Pluto was at your time of birth, and read the information. Then look for which house Pluto now occupies. It is at the end of Sagittarius at the moment to give you a hint.
First house Pluto
Your sense of self, your awareness and how you show yourself to others. In this life you will become aware that this way no longer holds or is at least up for revision.
Second house Pluto
The worth that you put on yourself. How secure can you feel with yourself? Now is the time to value yourself and no longer look at others to do just that for you.
Third house Pluto
Communication with others, how do you talk and listen and express yourself in general? Is what you express in the world congruent with how you think about yourself? Or is there a cover-up version of you around? Expect the mask to be removed. People will relate to the real you, it is already there for everyone to see but you will be taught to see it too.
Fourth house Pluto
What is your concept of home and family? Your emotional foundation can be shaken at the Pluto transit again. Just for you to get stronger within you, at a soul level.
Fifth house Pluto
Creativity and fun, showing yourself in the world. Also connecting to children or being curious like a child. Pluto transit has you look at this again. When you have grown up a little bit too much, you will relate to fun in another way now.
Sixth house Pluto
This area is related to work and health. You probably have had your share of issues to do with that. This transit will show you new ways to relate to your diet, health and exercise and you might even find work that fits you better.
Seventh house Pluto
In relationships you will probably feel vulnerable and out of whack. It is less comfortable to share your life since it upsets your daily routine. The transit might evoke issues to connect with people on an emotional level. You will have learned through life that others show you yourself in the mirror!
Eight house Pluto
I would say this is the house to let go of things. You can stay on your soapbox forever or accept that some things can evolve over time as well. The transiting Pluto here will make you look at what you can release within you to relate to others in the world in a new way. You are ready for it, not in one day, soon.
Ninth house Pluto
The world is your oyster, truly. With meeting people and traveling and forming your own opinions you transform yourself. You cannot look at others to find your ‘truth’, that is a personal adventure. Transiting Pluto makes for an interesting shake up of your beliefs. Time to tidy up a bit and leaving old beliefs behind.
Tenth house Pluto
Where lives your natural authority? Have you found a way to respond to people and events that is authentically you? Your personal power and strength will be challenged over and again. The transit of Pluto here will have you look at this too. Grow stronger and dare to challenge authority by being you.
Eleventh house Pluto
The area of individuality and originality. How original do you dare to be? Transiting Pluto will perhaps challenge you with sudden changes in your community, to create a save way for you to show your original way of thinking.
Twelfth house Pluto
An emotional search for your connection to the spiritual area. Where do you feel the connection with the higher self part of you? Can you feel it somewhere? The transit of Pluto here will remove the old layers that prevent you from connection with your intuition.
My experience with Pluto
I am born in 1965, Pluto is in the 9th house in Virgo. I have already experienced my Pluto square Pluto. I wrote about it like this:
In March 2003, during a creative workshop I really painted my heart out. I had no idea what I carried within me. It was a surprise that I could draw and that I had a story in the drawings that said something about me. One of the paintings is totally black, very Plutonian black I would call it. The woman of the workshop really encouraged me to just be with the black. And then I started crying and put more black paint and the drops of the tears are on the paper. Beautiful! All the Pluto-stuff was there, it all came out. When the whole page was black I noticed a change. I was ready for another color. The next sheet got black like a wave and then the red got in, I was back in the womb as a baby growing inside my mother. I sort of got back into my own life as well. It was not bliss after that, but it got bearable in a way.”

Hi Miriam,
I really loved your drawings. I’m experiencing the Pluto square, and I do feel like something inside of me is kicking to get out. My natal Pluto is in the 3rd and transiting in the 5th so I guess I’ve got to deal with the way I communicate in love relationships and in creative writing. I lost my job last year (Saturn Square) and ever since had to restart my life. I’m a writer and had a good idea for a novel which I couldn’t find the courage to start, but now I find it just natural to get it all out. Thanks for this site, it’s beautiful. Clo
Hi Clo, welcome here. Interesting times with Pluto right? Have fun with the writing, Plutonic times can be used to your advantage too! RW
HI, my date of birth is 07.01.1972 birth time 5.20 am and my star is uttara III pada, Kanya rashi.
Can you tell me what position is pluto in my horoscope?
What is your place of birth? RW
Hi Navageni,
thanks for your birth place. I have taken your date of birth as January 7th and then your Pluto is in Libra, 2 degrees, in your 10th house. So right now you are in your Pluto square Pluto transit.
Hi,
Thanks for your quick and prompt reply.
Can you give me more details about the time I am undergoing now, because from the last 2 years nothing is happening and it is becoming slow day by day, both personally and professionally, I am not seeing any improvement. The project which my office people are handling that also is struck because we have not government sanction.
Please check on my time and let me know why this is happening and when I can find some improvement.
Thank you very much for your support.
Regards,

In your horoscope of today Pluto has moved forward to your first house, that is the area of your sense of self, your self awareness and how you behave towards others. You are a Capricorn by birth and so Pluto is also in the first house of Capricorn. Pluto is probably effecting your self and is urging to take a look at who you are and how secure you are about that.
To answer your question I looked at the planet Pluto in particular. First there is the position of Pluto at the time of birth. As said it is in your tenth house, the area of your natural authority and moving around in the world. This area is very much related to your professional life. Your way of expressing that is Libra-style: wanting to understand what is happening and striving for perfection. You are to discover the different ways of seeing people and situations.
In your horoscope of today Pluto has moved forward to your first house, that is the area of your sense of self, your awareness and how you show yourself to others. You will use Capricorn to do that. Capricorn in general are hard working people and carry a sense of responsibility that is an inspiration to others.
So at this time both your tenth house and your first house are affected since Pluto has moved about 90 degrees from the time of birth. So Pluto is thereby effecting your professional life and your sense of self worth. Capricorn often has tendency to take the workload of others on their shoulders. You are responsible only for yourself and your actions! Leave the workload of others to the others. In this age we are all experiencing to be our own masters and carry into the world the actions that inspire us. There is no need to be the master of someone else’s life. So be careful about what you do and question your sincerity in the carrying out of tasks and if you should or should not do that.
The transformational side of Pluto in your professional life is affecting you also on an emotional level. You very much like to be in service to others and there is a part of you motivated to make the world a better place for everyone. However bear in mind that you can only do so much. When you are working too hard, consider telling others and rearrange the workload so everyone can join in with you in making that world better.
You are an inspiration to others for you have a clear view on what you want to achieve. When you feel stuck or have become a victim of the circumstances in your professional life, you have several options. Investigate what is going on, talk to everyone concerned, keep the communication open, free and exploring. Get your ideas flowing again and share what is on your mind. Listen to the answers of others and cooperate to find a new way of approaching the situation. If anyone can pull that off, it is you!
You are right on track to get a stronger sense of who you are and what you can accomplish. I wish you a great 2009. The end of the tunnel of Pluto is already in sight. Stay calm, be brave and wait for the signs.

Hi I was wondering, my astrologist has said that i am exiting my pluto square pluto. My birthday is 5/1/72 my time of birth is 10:41 am I was born in Las vegas, NM can you tell me what your take on my birth chart is? I would really appreciate it.
Hi R.W, d.o.b 28-11-1971
my natal Pluto is in Libra in the 5th house (square venus which conjuncts mercury)….transiting pluto is in Capricorn in the 8th house, making a square aspect.
I think the fireworks are really just beginning although i now see the slow burn that has worked its way up to now..
I’ve just lost a job of 13 years..via text message no less..this was a creative job in a way, yet also faceless and not true to my values or sense of self worth…I am using the energy of this transit to focus on my own career in astrology and already have some ideas i’m very excited about as they are creative and celebrate my own style. I’ll get to lots of writing and media output which suits my sag stellion and 9th house north node in aquarius..I am also looking at my artistic expression in a new way and really feeling the value of it..I think that capricorn ruling the transiting pluto is pushing me to really master my talents and get them out there proffessionally…
I’m very excited about the direction its going rather than holding onto fear or bitterness about the job loss..
Best of luck to everyone else going through this..just go with it and dont hold on, you will be amazed at how fast you start shifting up and feeling like a pheonix from the flames of your past.

Have a look at http://www.astro.com and fill in your details there. Pluto is today in 2 degrees Capricorn. Look up the 6th house, this is traditionally the house of work. maybe there are planets that are natally in the 6th house, that would influence your job even more.
Astro.com also gives quite good forecasts, it looks like that is what you want.
Thank you for this story. Very informative and enlightening.
I’ve been told I have a very intense Pluto position and that my chart in general speaks toward this being a more extreme life than normal. Wondering if you had any thoughts?

hi Daniel,
Your Pluto is in the first house when I use the Koch house-system. It is also conjunct (next) to your ascendant, which symbolizes the way you are seen by the people in the world around you. The transformative side of you can be strong in relation to others. You could well influence others without even noticing it.
However, the horoscope and the planets in it are all a part of you. In other words it is not Pluto only that reflects who you are. People often use generalizations about Pluto being intense etc. Your Pluto position is not more intense than other charts I looked at, however it can feel intense to you of course. Planets are symbols that we use in the language of astrology and one word for Pluto in certain positions is INTENSE. That said, also your chart does not look more extreme or anything. It is interesting as a chart can be interesting to unravel and look for the themes at play in the life of an individual. Have a look at astro.com and there free horoscopes, they give a good first idea of the overall themes in your life. Good luck to you and your Pluto square Pluto that is also coming up. RW
Dear RW , cancer sun sign here , Pluto will square my natal pluto in 1st house (in libra) any advice will be very appriciiated , THANK u in advace,Amy

Can you please check on Pluto’s position as of today and advice me on my life.
Thanks
Hello Miriam,
My Pluto square Pluto is just starting. My birthday is 2/9/1975 at 5:41am in van Nuys, CA.
I have been discontent with my life for years, i never feel like I’m doing what I should be doing with life. I feel stuck quite a bit. I feel like I am settling in my relationship. Could you please tell me what areas of my life will be affected by this transit and what i could do to survive. I am hopeful that these next few years will help me break free.

HI MISS April
it would be helpful to know what house your natal pluto is so you can gauge which areas of your life will be affected by the square. As for the things that make you unhappy, rest assured that this is the time when you will be forced to break free and make changes
My Pluto is natal Libra in the 8th. I have notice at my current job without another job lined up. I feel the need to rest, hide, create and reinvent myself. I still feel very lost about career, and love relationship is not ideal at all. Thanks for the response
Hi April, i assume that the pluto transit is in your 11th house making a square at your natal pluto in the 8th house. I gathered that 8th house matters relate to other people’s money, inheritance and sex. Since you mentioned that love relationships are not ideal, i think the transit is making you remove unwanted things related to the 8th house matters. Also, when pluto is transiting your 11th house, this could me that your friends, network, connections are being affected by plutonian energy – meaning, friends and associates are going to end and a new one is begging to come into your life. The advice my esoteric friends tell me is – not to fight the process and just let it take you where you are supposed to go. I am undergoing this square myself. My natal pluto conjunct my sun in Libra in the 5th house is squared by transiting pluto in my 8th house. I am tired obsessing about many things, including my relationship that ended unceremoniously. it all feels like i am drowning in the middle of the ocean and i have nothing to hold on to. Just like you, sharing about it helps. Be well!
Hii Juno and April, how wonderful to see you both interacting on the exact same square. That is the best possible option for both of you to talk about it.
So April: Your Pluto square Pluto has already passed and Pluto is now in your 5th house (Koch system of houses). From birth I see your pluto in the 2nd house. Just to clear up something, are you born september or february. Must be February. Could you let me know which is correct? Not used to American system of dates…
Hi Juno, thanks for stepping in and I wish you well. Did you already see a bird approaching you on the ocean? let me know how you are doing. Blessings Miriam
I am born February 9 1975, cap rising, I gave my notice at work and am having a power struggle with the CEO, I had an abusive boss and no lunch breaks and he will not give me a severance package. Just glad to be leaving.
Juno, please stay strong it will pass and new and amazing things will come forward and you will be so much stronger and even more grateful!
