Obsessions, change and power struggles as Sun squares Pluto

The Sun squares Pluto and this transit is exact April 11, just after midnight, so we will feel this energy in the few days before and after.

Transiting Sun square Pluto can increase the need to be in control and this behavior can come from yourself or be directed at you. Pluto rules bullies and powerful people and you could act as a victim or perpetrator. Power struggles at this time are common.

Conversations will not be superficial, and there may be a need to get to the bottom of an issue. A crisis or conflict can turn into, or lead to destructive behavior as the energy of Pluto can be ruthless. If you get into an argument, you may have to defend your position and in some cases people could act as though their very life is at stake.

Deeply buried psychological issues may emerge at this time involving sex, loss, control, death, abuse and persecution, real or imagined. Deeply rooted fears may rise to the surface to be dealt with.

There could be trouble relating to authorities, joint finances, taxes, harsh treatment of romantic partners and problems may seem like life and death issues.

Pluto is obsessive in nature and this can be a problem at this time.

Pluto transits deal with the breakdown of situations that can include machinery, communication or even people.

As always, Pluto transits hold the potential for change, transformation and some type of re-birth with work.

This will be another dangerous day in the world and it is likely we will see conflict and the potential for violence.

You will be affected to a greater degree if you have Cardinal planets-Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn at 20-22 degrees in your personal chart.
