The Saturn square Pluto aspect is often associated with power struggles, endurance, and transformation through discipline. Many astrologers believe this aspect creates intense pressure to succeed and overcome obstacles, making individuals feel tested by external forces or their own inner fears. However, because squares push for growth, some suggest that this aspect can also help individuals develop immense resilience and strength.
In a birth chart, this aspect is commonly linked to a strong will and a drive to achieve despite hardships. Some believe these individuals face challenges that force them to develop patience and determination, though they may struggle with control issues or fear of failure. Their greatest growth comes from learning to work with power rather than against it.
When Saturn and Pluto form a square in the sky, it is thought to be a time of deep restructuring and significant personal or societal change. Many astrologers suggest this is a great period for letting go of outdated systems and embracing necessary transformations, though some caution against power struggles, resistance to change, or authoritarian tendencies.
Saturn is currently at 25° in the zodiac sign of Pisces and Pluto is currently at 2° in the sign of Aquarius.
