The mechanics
What's happening
Pluto square your Mars
Pluto transforms whatever it touches: it strips, exposes, empowers and rebuilds from the foundation. It brings depth, power and permanent change, and the loss that comes first. Your Mars is your drive: how you want, act, fight, and go after what you need.
A square puts the transiting planet ninety degrees from your natal point: the two drives cross at right angles, and the friction forces a change. Squares are the transits that make things happen, usually through a problem. Here the transiting Pluto makes a square to your natal Mars, so Pluto's drive meets your Mars at that angle. Pluto runs a 248-year cycle, so each angle to this point happens once in a life.
The tell
What it feels like
- Intense conflict with authorities or rivals.
- Repressed anger that turns into obsession or illness.
- Accidents, violence and ruthlessness around you.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Pluto takes between twelve and thirty years per sign, so a transit to one point lasts two to three years across up to five passes. It is the longest and most permanent transit there is: what changes under it does not change back.
The move
What to do with it
Somewhere to go
Do not fight dirty, and do not fight everyone. Put the force into a disciplined practice. The square makes a person who cannot be intimidated, if it does not make a tyrant.
