Transit Pluto Conjunct Jupiter: Big Goals, Deep Convictions

Transit Pluto conjunct Jupiter is a period when the urge to grow and the way of seeing the world are deeply reshaped. Pluto crosses natal Jupiter within one to three years, often three times. Since Jupiter moves through roughly one sign a year, people born in the same year meet this transit around the same time; its personal meaning depends on the house involved.

What happens when transit Pluto conjuncts Jupiter?

Jupiter speaks of meaning, faith, opportunity and expansion. Under Pluto's touch these intensify: this person locks onto a bigger goal, takes a life-changing decision such as a postgraduate degree or a move abroad seriously, or forms a powerful bond with a teacher, belief system or ideology. Money and influence may grow; a venture, investment or publishing project can reach an unexpected scale.

Appetite grows as the conjunction approaches, decisive opportunities or choices arrive at the exact passes, and new convictions take root as it separates. The houses ruled by natal Jupiter, those with Sagittarius and Pisces on the cusp, are affected by this expansion.

The shadow of growth: excess

The risk of this conjunction is a "more" that grows out of control. Heavy borrowing, overblown promises or fanatical attachment to a single truth are the traps of this period. The healthy use is to back a big vision with solid research and realistic numbers. This person can close the period knowing what they truly believe and carrying their power to grow with responsibility.
