Transit Pluto Opposition Natal Chiron

Pluto opposing Chiron draws a hard line through the heart of an old story: the place where hurt and power collide. The world presses on a tender spot, and the reflex is to either armor up or collapse. This transit asks for a third way—holding fierce honesty with soft hands, letting truth move through without letting it brutalize you.

Oppositions heighten projection, and this one can place your sorest place across the table from someone or something carrying enormous power. You may feel smaller than you are, or far bigger than is comfortable—both are reactions to the same heat. Old protective strategies arise: caretaking to keep the peace, gripping control to avoid exposure, a sudden desire to disappear. The body remembers what the mind forgot, and the emotions can come tidal—grief, rage, rawness without a tidy narrative. In the churn, it’s easy to mistake intensity for truth and fear for guidance.

Working with this current means letting gravity do some of the work. Name what hurts; locate it in the present moment rather than in the old, global story. Power becomes cleaner when it answers to care, and pain softens when it’s witnessed rather than managed. Boundaries and consent become holy words. You don’t have to heal everything; you have to relate to it differently. When the wound is met with steadiness, it turns from a private ache into a compass that can orient how you use your influence in the world.
