Pluto transits by transforming: it strips you bare, destroys what’s dead, concentrates a power you didn’t know you had. Nothing stays the same. Applied to this house, it asks you to focus on looking at what you avoid, letting go of control to take your power back. The risk: obsession, power struggles, exhaustion from resisting. The gift: a rebirth, personal power fully owned, a truth set free.
Pluto takes 12 to 30 years to cross a house, depending on its size in your chart. The pass over the cusp (the start of the house) is the most intense moment.
