What Sun Square Pluto Means
The Sun squares Pluto on October 26, and the call is coming from inside the house. Scorpio season is already the time of year when hidden truths surface. And Pluto's square to the Sun turns that tendency into a demand. What are you hiding from? What power are you giving away? Where are you playing small because playing big means confronting something that scares you?
This is one of the most psychologically intense days of the year. The Sun illuminates your identity, and Pluto exposes the parts of that identity you have been keeping in the dark. Power dynamics in relationships, unconscious patterns of control, and the fear that sits beneath your ambitions are all on the table. You cannot look away today. And you should not try.
The gift of this transit is reclamation. Every shadow you face today returns energy to you. Every truth you speak out loud becomes a source of strength instead of a source of shame. The willpower available under Sun-Pluto is extraordinary. But it only works when it is pointed inward first.

How Sun Square Pluto Affects Your Sign
Select your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign for a personalized reading.
Aries
Shared finances, debts, and intimate bonds are illuminated by Plutonian intensity. A financial or emotional entanglement demands that you confront the power dynamic at its root. What you find there is your own unexpressed authority.
Taurus
A partnership confrontation reaches its peak. A lover or business partner mirrors back something about yourself that you have been avoiding. The reflection is uncomfortable, and exactly what you needed to see.
Gemini
Work and health patterns reveal their shadow side. A habit of overwork, self-neglect, or avoidance is exposed by circumstances that refuse to let you look away. The truth sets you free. But first it demands your attention.
Cancer
Creative and romantic life becomes a stage for power dynamics. A love interest, a child, or a creative project triggers your deepest fears about worthiness and control. Let the fear teach you something instead of running from it.
Leo
Home, family, and emotional foundations face their deepest challenge. A family secret, an old wound, or a domestic power struggle comes to a head. The transformation begins when you stop protecting the old structure and start building the new one.
Virgo
Communication becomes a vehicle for confrontation, with others and with yourself. A truth that has been sitting in your throat finally comes out. The words may surprise you and change everything.
Libra
Financial and self-worth issues reach a crisis point that is actually a turning point. Your relationship to money, possessions, and your own value is being fundamentally restructured. Let the old valuation go.
Scorpio
The Sun in your sign squares Pluto. Your identity is the crucible. Every shadow, every hidden desire, every piece of yourself you have been performing rather than living is up for review. This is your annual reckoning and your annual rebirth.
Sagittarius
Subconscious forces surface with the force of a geyser. Therapy, dreams, and moments of radical self-honesty produce insights that change your inner landscape permanently. Do not resist the eruption.
Capricorn
Social dynamics and friendships reveal hidden power structures. A community you belong to, a friend you trust, or a group dynamic you have accepted is being examined at its foundation. Keep only what is honest.
Aquarius
Pluto in your sign squares the Sun. Your career, your public identity, and your relationship to authority undergo a fundamental transformation. The power you seek is not over others. It is over your own fear.
Pisces
Beliefs, philosophies, and meaning-making systems are deconstructed by emotional truth. What you have been told about the world and what you have actually experienced are in conflict. Trust your experience.
