Power tests purpose
This transit feels like friction between the life you’ve built to survive and the life you’re here to grow into. Pressure exposes where control, fear, or old bargains have been steering the wheel. It asks for clean power: a deeper yes that doesn’t require domination, denial, or self-betrayal.

Pluto squaring the North Node turns up the volume on everything you usually keep under control. Old survival strategies wake up: seduction, withdrawal, overachievement, martyrdom, quiet manipulation, whatever once kept you safe. You may feel magnetized to intensity and repelled by it at the same time. The body registers this as pressure, the heart as urgency, the mind as “must fix this now.” Underneath is a simpler truth: your growth wants more room than the past can give, and the past doesn’t let go without a conversation.
Working with this transit asks for intimacy with your motives. Not judgment, not performance—intimacy. When you name what you want and what you fear losing, the power struggle loosens and the path forward clarifies. You don’t have to destroy the old to honor the new; you can compost it. The square becomes a fulcrum: you leverage honest self-knowledge into ethical action, using the strengths you’ve earned without letting them decide your future. That is clean power, and it makes purpose quiet, strong, and real.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Intensity rises and unspoken bargains come into view. You see how you merge or withhold, and conversations about needs, consent, and direction become necessary and liberating.
Work & Purpose
Career pressures reveal where ambition and meaning diverge. You may feel compelled to align influence with integrity, even if it disrupts the current ladder or timeline.
Money, Body & Boundaries
Finances, health habits, and energy management mirror the deeper power theme. Simplifying, detoxing, and refusing exploitative exchanges create space for sustainable growth.

When the urge to control spikes, the invitation is to slow the pace of action and deepen the pace of honesty. Naming the bargain—what you’re trying to secure, what you’re afraid to feel—breaks the spell of compulsion. From there, choice returns. You can reallocate your intensity toward what actually nourishes the future you’re building.
Let this be a season of clean agreements: with yourself, with others, with life. Small, steady acts of integrity move more earth than one dramatic upheaval. Share power where it’s safe, take it back where it leaks, and leave room for grief as the old shape releases. The pressure you feel is real—and it’s the pressure of a truer self finding its form.
What I refuse to face decides for me; what I face becomes my path.
