Transiting Pluto conjunct Moon brings major life changing experiences and these changes are deeply felt at the emotional level. Pluto conjunct the Moon will bring up intense psychological issues from deep in the soul, which will lead to a complete transformation of the emotional life. This transformation may start with a stripping away of the emotional security blanket, and you and other people have to adjust to this raw you.
The Moon also represent family and all other close emotional bonds, so these relationships can undergo changes. These relationships will become very important and this could range from greater emotional support and bonding, to separations. All things related to home and family are up for possible changes, including moving home, starting a family, becoming a grandparent, or children leaving home. The Moon can also represent the public, so this during this transformational journey over a couple of years, you may find that your most personal dramas are open to the world but this sharing can be a healing experience.
The ruthless nature of Pluto can have an effect whereby you experience others trying to over-power you or manipulate you. If this is the case you may learn to become ruthless yourself if that has not been in your nature. If you have been the dominate type, then you might find this transit mellows that out a bit. Going to extremes and finally finding a balance could be a theme over these couple of years.
In 1978, George W. Bush had Pluto conjunct his Moon This coincided with his first attempt at public office. It was the 19th Texas Congressional election which he lost by 6%. George ran a nice-guy campaign, his advisers wanted to him attack his opponent but he didn’t. George told his advisers that his opponent was also running the nice-guy campaign. 10 days before the election, George went head to head in a live radio debate with Hance and got totally hammered. For the following 10 days Hance kept up the attack. George learnt from this Pluto transit how to be ruthless.
In 2006, Charlie Sheen went though a bitter divorce during this transit. There was a very public and ruthless custody battle over the children, where his wife blamed Charlie’s addictions and threats of abuse for the marriage breakdown. In 2010, Michael Douglas experienced Pluto on his Moon by suffering life-threatening throat cancer, and by the power of Pluto he beat it. Arnold Schwarzenegger has also been going through this transit the last year, just recently finished his final term as governor of California and now reading movie scripts. A re-birthing, total transformation.

Jamie,
I also am a member on Noel’s forum, however, it has been amost a year since I have posted on it. I do read it everyday and also have read all of the articles that are posted in the/his menu website.
I do not have his Solar Arc book, however, I’ve printed out exerpts of it from the web.
I have seen some of your posts there and on Astrodienst (been a member there too for over one year and don’t post often, however, under mundane, Worlds oldest horoscope, I been “active” recently there , ( under Leone West (Mida is my middle name) and have “respect” for your insights and topics.
I have a “huge Solar Arc progression, about to start or more than likely my mother-in-laws passing has started its influence with the “plutonic event” and will no doubt be “manifesting” more directly pertaining to my own chart.
I have SA Pluto 42 minutes away from conjoining my Nadir at 13 Libra 02 (which implies pluto/moom type themes). I also have secondary progressed Mars retrograde, conjoined with my MC at 13 Aries.
According to SA “reckeoning” this major SA will be “active for six month before exact and 6 months after. The Solar Eclipse at 13 Capricorn on Jan 4, 2011 most certainly has trigged this SA to my MC and IC.
Both you and Mariana are contributing “much” to the astrological community and visitors and is very much appreciated by me personally.
Being “forwarmed is forearmed”, so I’m paying very close attention to what’s going around me in my life right now and what has occured in the past when Pluto transited my nadir. I do have “things going on around me that will for sure “play out here”.
Mida (Mydah).
Thanks for the update Leone, and for the compliments! Neither of us are getting much time to chat on the forums at the moment, this blog of our’s has become to busy now, plus we have readings and all that. AND I want to get more of these Pluto transits done.
this transit lately has been fortifying/equipping me with a strong ecstatic/erotic pull towards marriage with the self, the goddess-self…. if only i could push the slow-down button on my propensity to project this desire onto others!?! big time awakenings… reinvigorated, primordial essence breathing electricity into all chakras. : )
HI..me once again. PLuto hanging on this moon. I jstu realized my sons uranus conj my moon less than one degree and we are having a doozy of a time. He is trying to push me away ..he wants me liberated. We love each ther very much (jupiter/venus conj.) It is really strange how sometimes I feel very calm and others I have actually been madder than I ever have been in my life but it is also rightfully so but scary. I am not used to having those feelings. I feel an internal power which I beleive Jamie mentioned earlier in the post. Not sure which what the wind is going to blow or what direction my life is going to take. Unemployed for 2 years. I also heard 12th rules unemployment..with trans Libra in the 8th, I dont see much opportunity. I have a 5 degree AQu asc. 2 degree jupiter and leo sun 2 also… Anyhow, I thought I would put my insight up or lack of for anyone else who is going through this. I do have the pluto pluto trine and neptune is in scorp 9 sex-ing this conj so hopefully this will also work out posative.
Hi
The comments I’ve read here re the Pluto/Moon conjunction and other hard transits meaning possibly the death of the mother are freaking me out, so much so, that Im posting this. I have two kids the oldest has her Moon at 20 Capricorn, my younger son’s Asc is at 19 Capricorn. I realised recently with Pluto close by, eventually they will have Pluto transiting conjunct these points in their chart – and so apparently that might not bode well for me the mother? My son’s moon is at 28 Cancer, and so will also involved in an opposition with Pluto, sometime a bit later. When I checked an ephemeris these transits happen through 2017-2018. Does being forewarned help in anyway? – are there other things that it could mean? Because yikes – its a scary thought.
Most of us do not loose our mothers when we have these transits. When I had Pluto square my Moon there was no ill health for my mother, the transit effected my relationship with my partner, a divorce. Remember these transits effect the person first, you have to look at your own chart to see what’s directly happening for you at that time you are worried about.
I have the same AC as your younger son, there is an eclipse on our DC in 2018 while Pluto is on our AC, should be intersting times!
Hi Amanda, I have Pluto wavering across my moon as we speak to I thought I would jump in and tell you what it has happened to me. First, it is on the cusp of the 11/12th house and trines my natal pluto. I have alwasy been distant-litterally from my mom. She is 3000 plus miles from me and we have not seen each other for many years. I tried to open the door only to get it slapped in my face which is ok, I tried one more time but will never try again. No, she did not die. I also have a cap son and a virgo son. It has changed my relationships with them. Things that were not ok wit me then are NOT ok with me now. I am learning to put myself and my needs at least somewhere on the board. My son has a cancer moon, the cap. He has matured and we have a nice understanding. The virgo still rocks my world and I am ready to move on my own. You migth want to check the ages of the kids involved and see, is it time for them to leave home? Go to school? I am working on a lot of unresolved issues of motherhood, trying to figure out who I am. I am not just her daughter or their mother-I am that strong woman who raised her kids alone and was proud of my accomplishments. So w/ the kids I am trying to find a level playing field because I love them. All you can do it do your best w/ kids because ultimately they will do what they perceive as being the right thing to do. I also worried how this would effect my cap kid, they did not go very well but he is ok. he has 6 planets in cap starting with uranus. Just be the best you can be and know that it will all work out in the long run…The best advice I was given is to just go with it and dont fight it. Again, look at the ages of the kids look at the transits for that time frame.
My son has Moon in Capricorn and I am Sun Aquarius–we never really got a long. I was too young to give birth to him, but somehow it gets better. he has Pluto (transit) conjunct his natal moon in Cap trine natal Mars in Scorp and trine natal Uranus & Pluto in Virgo–I believe. He must be having quite a growth year. My moon is in Libra with Saturn transitting there in the first house–I am finally waking up! Moon conjunct Neptune rising in Libra is me with Sun Aquarius in 5th house. Does this sound compatible between mother & son?
I don’t know about the compatibility, but your relationships with him is sure in for some transformation at the moment. His Pluto transit is transforming his mom, and your Saturn transit is making you take responsibility for mothering.
I have transit pluto coming into an exact conjunct to my cap moon in jan 2012-my own personal 2012 apocalypse-yikes. at the same time it opposes my mars at 8-9 cancer (been feeling this already-so i am quite raw at this point). any comment on pluto conj natal moon in the 8th house? my mom is already deceased and i have very few close female relatives…so maybe i am leaving the body-8th house?! i guess i should prepare…thanks, love your site.
kat
Hi Kat, personally I don’t pay too much attention to the houses. I’d be researching natal Moon opposite Mars because Pluto will help you transform whatever negatives that has in your life. We haven’t written that one up yet so Cafe Astrology would be your bests option: http://cafeastrology.com/natal/moonmarsaspects.html
The 8th house is not just about death. Its about psychology, sex and the taboo also. I am bemused why we choose to see the worst possible scenario with transits. Better to be ignorant of astrology altogether that be fearfull and pessimistic. Maybe its time astrology was brought out of the medieval doom-saying mindset. Transformation NOT is not the end.
Unbeknown I had progressing moon cross my natal pluto in leo.taking a month or so. Now it will cross my progressed pluto on 4th cusp. It’s been difficult but sure doesn’t last long. They say hard worker and I work compulsively and determinedly.I seem to have work persecution from the women.As well,my mom’s been going through a capricorn mars pluto transit and we actually came together in tears. She was committed to Alzheimer’s 7 yrs ago but she looks younger now than when she went in. The newspaper’s in Van. are full of senior abusive s and care homes so that is very mass plutonium. I cried within over my long dead grandma but from whom I suspect I had much security and so miss that. They say on one site the emotions can dry up if they get too high and I think that’s true. You know what that means! It’ll be over in the New Year. So will my saturn long conjunct vesta in cancer, the family. What a great new year.
I started yoga intense poses with great determination. But most of all I saw a white dove within as I was lookin up. It grew more and more bright and expansive. I read that scorpio rules the mother dove at it’s high end.
Reading these posts where Jamie says he gets comfort from even difficult transits by seeing them in the charts and I do too and so often I hear people into astrology express how “it never ceases to amaze”. Yes so true.
Is there any insight you might share with me about a T-square, Moon in Capricorn 12 degrees, Saturn in Libra 13 degrees, and Uranus in Cancer 16 degrees, with Pluto stationary, retrograde soon, it will be 2013 -14 before it will transit my Moon, square Saturn, and oppose Uranus?
Well, I’ve got this natally, pretty much exact, nine Virgo, third house (in a moon-ruled chart). Anyway, I was hoping to get a little insight into transiting Pluto trine Moon, as that’s in play now (and tight, with Pluto recently at nine Cap.
Should’ve added, “thank you, your site is a nice find.” I see you’ve got transiting Pluto sextile Sun; I’ll check that, as that’s going on too and take a look around while I’m at it.
It is just starting for me! I have Mars & Moon at 9 degrees Capricorn in the 2nd house. Been exercising & purging my diet of junk food. I have been doing alot of deep thinking about my life, my self esteem, my Mother (never been close to her). You hear that Pluto is about death & transformation. I guess I will see for myself. I have also heard that when Pluto comes around is when you come into your power.
Do you know what they say is Capricorn’s ruler saturn is the area of the success your looking for. The rule I used for Pluto was “a genuine desire to help another or resistance = karma. On the other hand it is “not to dominate an other but to use it to improve your own life.” go figure. Pluto removes the barriers between us within and it is hidden inner actions ie occult, and reactions that shape us.
Boy here I am the big authority figure today. Hope I’m on abit at least. Pluto is where the most energy is so you can do a lot there.
For ex. the 4th house pluto can renovate forever and never run out of energy. But best if the work is done for the larger good than just for one’s own profits. Power is destructive without love. We here in BC are having BC Hydro acting out and costing us big time. Pluto.?
So much power they’re a cold unfeeling machine now.
