Mars-Pluto transits are typically angry, and can reveal new information. As Mars is in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn we can look to the area of relationships, and business for this transit to play out.

This is the transit par excellence, of power struggles and confrontations. You or others may desire to gain control over others or certain situations. If you aren't interested in control, others may be interested in controlling you.

On the positive side, this energy could be used to achieve, and it can stir up ambitions, but it important not to be ruthless in your actions or come across this way to others. Push others and expect push-back. Others with more power may well have the upper hand during this time. Avoid difficult people and push forward with your own ambitions, without stepping on others, and the potential exists to achieve.

In relationships this is not the time to push issues that lead to power struggles. The combination of Mars-Pluto can be ruthless and unyielding. Mars and Pluto can both be connected to sex, and issues can arise here as well.
