❋ the influence of this transit is subtle but not weak. your sensitivity to your surroundings is greatly increased, as is your empathy with those around you. at this time you may listen to a friend’s problems, or you may discuss your own problems with a friend.
❋ you will be likely to pick up the mood of the people around you, as if you were an emotional “sponge.” therefore you should be careful about being with negative people who are not willing to discuss their emotional problems in a rational manner.
❋ on another level, this transit can stimulate your fantasies amazingly. you may feel like just sitting down and drifting off into your own private world. on the negative side, this influence makes drinking or drug taking dangerous, because you may have difficulty controlling the amount you take. sometimes with this transit you just feel sleepy.
❋ unfortunately, communications with others may be difficult now. your thoughts are not very clear, and your experiences are difficult to reduce to words. poetry and art, especially escapist art or literature, appeal to you greatly at this time.
❋ your relationships under this influence are dubious. you are very likely to misinterpret someone or be misinterpreted, which may lead to thinking about the situation very unrealistically. beware of self-delusion.

❋ this transit can have a variety of effects, but in general it indicates intense experiences that do not allow you to stay at the level of surface manifestations. you will really have to get involved in whatever you do today, and the results may be quite powerful. pluto relates to the forces underlying all experience and leading to fundamental evolutionary changes from within. the inevitable power of these changes produces the major occurrences in the world - growth, evolution, decay and death, as well as rebirth and regeneration. because this is not a major long-term transit, you are not likely to encounter any of these effects on a terribly profound level but rather as they occur in day-to-day life.
❋ at the practical level, you may be concerned today with repairing something that has broken down, such as an automobile or an appliance. or you may have to deal with a situation that has broken down to the point that it must change radically in order to continue, even along completely new lines.
❋ you may have to contend with a person who is trying to exert unreasonable power over you today, forcing you to defend your right to do things your way. the person may feel that they are doing this for your own good, but that is not usually the case. true plutonian energy does not manifest itself through someone’s ego drives. it is a transpersonal flow of creative or destructive energy.
❋ under rare circumstances you may come into contact with someone who embodies the plutonian energies within society, such as a person in power or someone who represents hidden elements of change and/or decay, such as a person living in poverty, a tramp, a criminal, or someone who is associated with a radical movement for social change. avoid contact with criminals and do not go into areas where you are likely to encounter street crime. under this transit it is just possible that you might have an unfortunate encounter.
