Pluto transits herald major life changing experiences and this is especially so with transiting Pluto conjunct Sun. The Sun is the life force, the power and the whole identity and there is an eighteen month period of deep and lasting change in the life direction. Pluto has a reputation of stripping away things to the bare bone in order to facilitate soul evolution, however this does not have to be the case with this conjunction. There may be events which result in loss or separation, but only if those things are standing in the way of being true to yourself.
By studying a few examples of this transit in celebrities, we can see that transiting Pluto conjunct Sun is very empowering, and that this phase of life, although intense and full of change, leads to great personal and professional advancement that is more in tune with the souls desire.
Leonardo DiCaprio experienced Pluto conjunct Sun from late 1990 through to the end of 1991. He was just sixteen years old then and already had some experience in TV commercials. But it was Pluto that brought the big breakthrough, firstly in a few appearances in TV shows in 1990 just as Pluto was approaching his Sun. Then in 1991, with Pluto right on his Sun, Leonardo got his break on the big screen with Critters 3, and then also that year he landed a starring role on the high rating TV show Growing Pains.
Prince Charles had Pluto conjunct Sun from late 1992 through to the end of 1993. This marked a major turning point in the Prince’s life. He had not been living true to his soul’s desire, and in December 1992 it was formally announced in parliament that he had separated from his wife, Princes Diana. In 1993, Pluto revealed his secrets, with the media release of private phone calls between the Prince and his true love, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Jodie Foster had Pluto conjunct Sun all of 1994. She starred in two very successful films that year, Maverick and Nell, the later winning her critical acclaim and three gongs for the trophy cabinet. Jodie also produced Nell.
Brad Pitt saw Pluto on his Sun all of 2006, a very intense and life changing year for him. Professionally, he starred in the critically acclaimed film Babel, which he stated was “one of the best decisions of my film career”. In his personal life, January 2006 saw Brad legally adopt Anglina’s adopted two kids, and they surnames were changed to “Jolie-Pitt”. January was also the first time their relationships was publicly confirmed. On 27 May 2006, just 14 days after the second conjunction of Pluto to his Sun, Angelina gave birth to their daughter Shiloh Nouvel. They made $10 million from the sale of images of their baby, and gave it all away to charity.
In the next few years Pluto will grind along from 3 – 12 degrees Capricorn. So if you have your Sun in these degrees don’t fear Pluto, but do expect some profound changes in your life. You will be sharing this experience with:

My favorite sweetie has a natal (exalted) Mars in CAP which today is conjoined by Venus and Pluto (“Venus and Mars are alright tonight” -Paul McCartney: wouldn’t Pluto be particularly strong in CAP?) Today the Moon (exalted in Taurus) forms a grand trine with her natal Virgo Jupiter. An excellent opportunity for her to fall madly in love with me
!
I love your positive thinking Vallin. How could she not fall for you!
I am being biten by the Pluto bug myself with it transiting my natal sun in the 4th house. I feel rather lost. The old me dying while I try so hard to fight for its life. Then there is a part of me that is tired, frustrated and rather bored with the old life and how I’ve been living. I am not sure what I want to do with my life any more. I feel like a child and I am learning how to walk, talk agin while finding out exactly who I am meant to be at this junction in my life. I am also tired of being single with Libra on my ascendant and Saturn making its way there. I’ve gotten to used to being solo and raising my son -who is now 13 -that I am not sure I know how to relate – intimate or even friendship. I am 46 years old and I feel lost when it comes to relationships because I am so tired the stream of destructions of the old ones that no longer serve my higher good. But the drama is so draining – I am exhausted and may have put up a inner red flag. On the other hand Uranus and Jupiter and transiting my 7th house where My Taurus Moon & Jupiter sits on the Aries cusp. OMG!! So much is happening, so much emotions surfacing that I wish I could be literally transported to a beautiful tropical island where a new life of peace and natural living awaits its inhalation through my breath!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing what you’re feeling inside Surya. very descriptive of a Pluto transit. I think we can all especially relate to “the drama is so draining – I am exhausted”.
One the transit has passed though you do feel so much more powerful, empowered. That’s how I felt anyway with the square.
Thanks Jamie! That felt like a bit of a pat on my pluto back. hehehe!! WIth all the shaking up going on and the challenges to access my power from deep within and not respond to certain situations with fear… I am learning to put myself, my self needs, my fears, my confusion and my ego dance aside and connect with the voice, the nurturing needs and the requirements of my SOUL so that I can carry on its PURPOSE!! I have read a lot of feedbacks on the PLUTO 4th house transit and the experiences of others particularly the RELATIONSHIP with the nurturing parent – in my case my mother! We have had the most ugly relationship all my life and two holiday seasons ago we had a dramatic incident – once again- which made me decide that I needed to stay the hell away from her and the other family members that drain me. Of course as the patterns have always been in the past, she’ll call and act as though nothing happened, always sweeping the emotional garbage under the rug. I love her but I don’t like her at all. So now I did respond to one of her calls and she won’t stop calling me. I know the dance and do not want to dance it any more. So right now I am trying to be still to gain the power to do what my SOUL requires that I do in any given moment. HAIL to my SOUL!!!
Pluto, pluto pluto! he transited my moon, mars, venus, mercury and neptune within the last 18 years. he’s getting ready in February to conjunct my sun in the 6th house. I’m curious what ways I might prepare for him. I’m familiar with his energy by now. I know it helps you to see an entire chart, but just wondering how I might be able to harness his energies better and be safe inside this transit. Most of the planets he touched were all in my 5th house. His transit to Mercury was really intense and challenging for me (big crisis) …lots of earlier drama crisis. Feel smarter about how to be with this powerful little bugger. I’m a new mama now however. I don’t feel I need or want the crisis path with him at this point. : )
The conjunction may not represent a crisis as much as the square or opposition I think, especially seeing you have gone through all those conjunctions already. I guess focusing on goals and putting that driven and compulsive energy into those would be a good use of the energy.
I’m so glad I found this page and the comments of all of you going through this transit. I have Cap sun at 6 degrees in the 5th/6th house and Leo ascendent. My moon is in Aries at 3 dgrees so Pluto already passed over my moon before moving on to my sun. I think that maybe was worse because I have natal sun square moon. My natal pluto is in Libra so yes, there’s a square going on there as well. All I can say is lot’s of changes, new job in January 2011 which reqquired a move to a different city. Relationship power struggles, (boyfriend of 3 years now with pluto goping through his 12th house and squaring his natal pluto conjunt sun). But most of all feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of my emotions, angry outburtsts and feeling very tired and like I don’t even know who I am anymore at times. I can say that I’ve gotten much better at dealing with the energies because the transit started a while back. Let’s see what the rest of it brings. I definitely feel a lot stronger that when the trasnit started. Thank you all and good luck!
“I definitely feel a lot stronger that when the trasnit started.” This is one thing that seems to common with people who have been through these Pluto transits. It’s hard to see when you’re in the middle of it but it is true.
It is very interesting to see that you cover this subject. I have recently finished a very hard and powerful saturn cycle. Renaissance alchimist talk about what I have been through as the first step. I already feel like I am a new man. But it does happen that I will reborn a few time again this year, having my natal sun conjunct to Facies at 7 of Capricorn. Recently I have met a astral being, that completely instantly submit me, by her lightness and strength of voice. She just said the word GEODE. It took me time to understand the meaning, but I do beleive it is an great alchemical symbol from nature. A volcanic dark stone becoming beautiful within from intense and powerful work of pressure from the Fire.
It also happen to me that one task I put on Outlook changed date completely. This task was to make a talisman mask for the eclipse of Pluton on my natal Star Facies. It happen that this date has a great astrological meaning, check for yourself. it is the 27 september 2399. I put Montreal and noon as the hour, because I have no clue. And that bring up a beautiful eclipse of Mars in libra at the midsky, also conjunct to Hermes the asteroid and the arabic part of Death. Hermes gnosticism is the path I have begin since my apparation. it is also the only way Mars could be dignified in Libra and I guess it symbolised the warrior path for beauty, which obviously it is direct against what is bad of ourself.
I feel that this event is a wonderful bulleye from the great far seeing Eye of Facies star. Interesting to know that it is the star of Tiger Woods also and many greatly focused person. In my case the Sun is in the 5th house and I do believe that I have a gift for prospective, far sight speculation. I will begin to study physics soon, as a new career path, and I also believe that this science will soon revolution the basis of energy and production. In itself it is a great Pluton in Capricorn effect. I also begin to be alot more creative, doing arts and sculpture (which is a marsian art, since we slash, cut and break the material) and feel that I am able of more love.
My opinion from pluton transit is that it will create as much as it will destruct, because when you destroy bad habits and psychologic errors, you make room for consciousness and have new material for building a new. What I fear is that the new may be broken again with the retograde transit… then rebuild. I sound like it could hurt! But for now it is the most beautiful time of my life.
i had transiting pluto exact on my moon, which is also conjunct facies by 1’20, this past thursday. marina did a post on hitler, citing his moon on facies as well. in sabian astrology it’s the degree of “a veiled prophet speaks, seized by the power of god.” researching facies comes up with a lot of negative stuff, but there are many aspects and manifestations with any influence/energy. it has been a most intense year for me, too : )
Pluto will conjunct with my natal Sun at exactly the same time Mercury stations Rx.
If I survive this I might share the experience through a book or movie. See … there’s always a positive!
If I don’t post a follow-up after 21st Jan then expect the worst!
Pluto is indeed a difficult bugger that needs to be wrestled to the ground!
oops! Its the 23rd and NOT the 21st. Just as well I checked!!!
Looking for a well stocked nuclear bunker.
hi i don’t know much about the degrees and all but my birth date is 29/12/1989 and that means i’am a 1st decan Capricorn.I havea lot of things piling up ahead of me i have to undergo my job training on one hand and clear my exams on the other, huh i hope the Pluto conjunct sun helps me.
I’am a decan 1 capri, and before reading your article, i was sort of
contemplating all these things what you have written. Really I am impressed with your indepth informations. Thank you very much…
Hello, Neat post. There’s an issue together with your site in internet explorer, might test this? IE still is the marketplace chief and a big part of other folks will leave out your wonderful writing due to this problem.
My boyfriend has been going through this transit the past year. (Right during his saturn return) Which you would imagine to be hell on earth, but he has been great. Granted, he’s had to make some difficult choices in regards to his career and lifestyle, but they have all been for the better and now that Pluto is beginning to move off he feels like the new and improved him is about to take center stage. He handled this transit like a trooper! Like everything else in this world, “This too shall pass” and you will be far happier with the new you!
2012 has been a thrilling year,for sure 12/30-
Today Donna Summer passed 5/17. I looked up her birthday 12/31/48, her natal Sun conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn exactly 09 degrees.
Thanks for pointing that out Ray, Sun and Jupiter. I noticed the last solar eclipse was on her IC too.
