Pluto square Chiron can feel like a pressure point pressed exactly where you are most tender. The body remembers before the mind does; a comment, a power dynamic, a closed door echoes an older ache. You may notice compulsions to fix, expose, or dominate as a way to avoid helplessness. The transit magnifies the split between the self that wants to be invulnerable and the self that carries a sacred bruise. Where there has been secrecy, taboo, or family silence, the square asks for truth that is not cruel, and accountability that is not annihilation.
Working with this transit means cultivating agency without reenacting harm. Power becomes stewardship when guided by the wound’s wisdom, not its fear. The task is to stay present at the threshold: to let grief move without drowning you, to set boundaries without hardening into walls, to name what happened without making it your identity. As you tolerate the heat, something refines—shame loosens its grip, and the wound begins to teach rather than rule.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Intimacy
Old attachment patterns surface: the urge to test loyalty, to control outcomes, or to disappear before being left. Naming the hurt in real time—paired with clear boundaries—deepens trust and shifts the balance from power plays to mutual care.
Work & Purpose
Power dynamics sharpen, revealing where you’ve been overperforming to outrun inadequacy or underclaiming influence to avoid responsibility. This transit supports ethical backbone: aligning mission with integrity, renegotiating roles, and refusing martyrdom as proof of worth.
Body & Healing
Somatic echoes of the past may rise—tight jaw, shallow breath, a nervous system on alert. Gentle, consistent practices and consent with yourself allow the body to unwind; healing becomes paced, embodied, and real.

Let this be the moment you choose depth over drama. When the sting arrives, slow down, breathe, and ask what the hurt is trying to protect; then honor that protector while listening for a wiser voice beneath it. The square doesn’t demand perfection—it asks for contact with what is true, especially when it’s inconvenient.
Repair is not a single act but a posture. You can hold your power like a lantern, not a weapon, illuminating what needs to change without burning yourself or others. Even small, steady acts of honesty and self-respect rewire the storyline, turning the wound from a private captivity into a source of clear-eyed compassion.
Under pressure, the wound teaches me how to hold my power.
