On December 28th, an intense transit occurs in the skies as the Moon opposes the planet of transformation and death, Pluto.
Death in astrology, as with the Death card in Tarot, does not mean physical death. It means spiritual death which also leads to rebirth.
The sign, Scorpio, is familiar with this theme. Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Rising, and people with heavy Scorpio or Pluto in their birth charts will be well-versed in understanding the concept of death and rebirth.
Moon opposite Pluto can be a challenging placement for someone in their natal chart. It can bring extremities in mood and behaviour. Emotions are felt at an extreme intensity. The lows are extremely low and the highs are extremely high.
Often, people with this placement can be vulnerable emotionally and easily susceptible to other people’s manipulations. However, the natal Moon opposite Pluto brings the potential for extraordinary transformation.
By facing these intense emotions and sharing them with others, there is the potential to change your life and the lives of those around you for the better. This can also manifest in healing for the world at large when these emotions are shared with strangers, which could be via social media blogging or exposing your creative artwork to the world.

The effects of the Full Moon in Cancer are still lingering and this has been a powerful time of emotional awareness for us. This cycle continues as we are beginning to realise what we truly want and what we must do to achieve it.
Volatile emotions are common under this transit. You might be feeling joyful and ecstatic one minute, and depressed the next!
A LOT of relationship drama can occur at this time so be mindful of how your words and actions affect others. You may find yourself behaving more outrageously than usual which may shock or offend others. Or you may find yourself at the brunt of someone else’s words.
However, this is part and parcel of this transit. Emotions are rising to the surface to prepare for a spiritual cleanout. People are going to feel compelled to get things off their chest.
So don’t take it personally if someone is ruder to you than usual! Try not to react suddenly or venomously if someone says or does something you don’t like. Instead, go inward and pay attention to your own emotions and what they are trying to tell you.
4 Zodiac Signs Undergoing Major Transformations
- Cancer: There is a lot of emphasis on your finances at this time and your current path is likely leading you to a major crossroads when it comes to your finances. It’s time to sit back, chill, and give yourself time to think. This has been an emotional few days for you but the universal energies are urging you to take some time out. It’s going to be an action-packed year ahead for you and the planning you engage in today will set the tone for the future.
- Libra: This has been an overwhelmingly emotional time for you and you may be a bit slow on the uptake, but ultimately you’ll get there. You’ve had quite a bit of indulgence this festive season and a reluctance to take action may be influencing you. But deep down, you know what needs to be done. A lot of the finer details you are unaware of. You know things are changing, you’re just not sure exactly how. Follow your instincts and trust that everything will work out.
- Taurus: For you, a change in circumstances is imminent but letting go of what no longer serves you is proving a challenge. Sometimes you can stay stuck in your comfort zone and will stubbornly stay there, even when it is no longer helpful. It’s time to dig deep within yourself and remind yourself that life is a continual journey. It is there to be lived and many exciting opportunities and experiences await you. Don’t let yourself get caught in your comfort zone. Break free.
- Sagittarius: You’ve been a little haywire emotionally lately and conflicts with others seem to just pop up. But this is a way for you to experience emotional release. There is a new path waiting for you. For now, it’s about clearing up old habits and thought patterns that no longer serve a purpose for you. The future is exciting and full of adventure. Saying goodbye is never easy but at times you must move forward. You may not know exactly how things turn out but rest assured, the future is bright.
The Power of Change
While the Moon opposite Pluto is not the easiest transit to deal with, it provides the opportunity for intense change, both internally and externally.
Keeping a good balance by using meditation and spending as much time among nature as possible is a great way to reconnect with ourselves under this powerful energy, helping us to maintain balance and see things for how they truly are.
Pluto is the Lord of the Underworld. His energy can be overwhelming, even frightening. But it is through the darkness that we come into the light, burning brighter than ever before. This is the gift of Pluto.
