In the astrological sky, Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are three planets that play the most pivotal roles in the lives of human beings and the changes they experience. These planets are the transpersonal forces which instigate change, through intense, inner, astrological weather, that often stretches individuals far beyond their known limits of understanding, if individuals are pliable enough and sensitive enough to receive their instructions and promptings. The influence of these planets is most immediately felt during their transits through an individual chart.

For instance, in the astrological sky through November 2009, Pluto is hovering at 00 - 01 Capricorn. This means that in any natal chart, planets located within 00 Capricorn to 04 Capricorn are being hit by the Plutonian force of intense change, death and rebirth, and perhaps even shock. Those who have planets in the very early degrees of Aries, Cancer, and Libra will also be feeling the forces of Plutonian change. Whatever Pluto touches by transit is altered at its core. It's as if Pluto delivers a message to the planetary force (and what it represents in the life of the individual), and declares,

"Okay, it's time to change, to radically alter the way you've been living, to put an end to something that has outlived its usefulness and now imprisons you. In fact, it's time to awaken you to the fact that you are imprisoned and actually appear to enjoy the psychological prison you are trapped in, simply because it's familiar, and believe it or not, because a part of you may be attracted to unnecessary suffering. Now, you can work with me in the process of creating alchemical change that sets you free, or I can drag you to freedom while you kick and scream. What's it gonna be?"

Pluto transits create tornadic astrological weather wherein old habits are uprooted from the core of your being and thrown onto the screen of your conscious awareness. Lo and behold, you get a sacred glimpse of deeply woven psychological and emotional habits shaped before you were conscious. In these moments of vivid awareness, a doorway of choice creaks open, and you are challenged to walk forward into the unknown, where, if you are courageous, you can create new habits that allow for greater awareness and freedom. Or, you can return to time worn habits of negativity that spin down the Karmic highway and continue your suffering.

Likewise, Neptune, which delivers tremendous waves of change (imagine a huge tidal wave sweeping over you), and Uranus, which delivers sudden shocks of change (imagine lightning riveting your astrological chart), are incredibly important to track through your natal chart. Neptune is at 25 degrees of Aquarius in July and is in retrograde motion until it reaches 23 Aquarius in December. Planets in natal charts located at 21 - 24 degrees of Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are experiencing Neptune's propensity to turn things upside down.

As of July 2009, Uranus retrograde is at 26 Pisces and activating planets at 24 - 28 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Gemini. Uranus will be in retrograde motion until it reaches 22 Pisces by early December 2009. Like Pluto transits, Neptune and Uranus transits represent the inner workings of the Soul and their attempts to move a person towards greater freedom of expression, toward more sensitive attunement to self and others, and toward clearer awareness of when one is responding to life like a robot, rather than as a conscious human being.
