Transit Pluto Conjunct Moon: Emotional Renewal From the Roots

Transit Pluto conjunct Moon is the period when Pluto passes over the natal Moon, and the deepest layers of the emotional world come to light. The short answer: the person's sense of security, bond with family and basic needs are reshaped from the roots. The influence lasts one to three years; because of retrogrades, Pluto usually hits the natal Moon exactly three times.

What happens when transit Pluto conjoins the Moon?

The Moon describes habits, the mother, the home and the body's rhythms. Under this conjunction, suppressed feelings rise to the surface: a hurt left over from childhood, an unresolved issue with the mother, or a loneliness ignored for years. A move, a renovation of the home, a shift in family roles or the arrival of a child that moves the center of life are common scenes.

As Pluto approaches, emotional fullness and unease build up. At the exact passes feelings intensify, and as it separates the person finds a new inner balance.

Carrying intense feelings

The strength of emotions in this period can be surprising; jealousy, fear of attachment or a need for control may flare at unexpected moments. Naming these feelings works better than pushing them down.

• Therapy, journaling or deep conversations with a trusted friend
• Care with eating and sleeping rhythms
• Exploring family history with curiosity

The house with Cancer on its cusp, ruled by the natal Moon, is also rearranged from the ground up during these years. By the end, the person has built a sturdier inner home, one that is no longer afraid of its own feelings.
