Pluto opposite Sun
With Pluto opposite your Sun, power struggles come from across the table. A partner, a boss or a rival pushes, and you find out how strong you are.
What it means
An opposition plays out between you and someone else. With Pluto opposite your Sun, someone close tests your will: a controlling partner, a hard boss, a long dispute. You may also meet a person who changes you completely.
These years teach where your power ends and theirs begins. Speak up early. Pressure that you name loses some of its grip.

Pluto is in Aquarius until 2043, so for years the opposition reaches people born with the Sun in Leo, a few days of birthdays at a time.
How long it lasts
Within 8°, Pluto opposite Sun lasts 93 to 166 months. Pluto hits the exact degree 3 or 5 times, because it turns retrograde on the way. The months near an exact hit are the strongest.
In the app
Solstice shows this transit when it is within orb of your Sun. Tap it, and the card shows each part:
- Pluto. Pluto works underground — power, obsession, death-and-rebirth cycles. It moves slowly and changes things permanently. Where it sits is where life keeps composting you into someone new.
- Opposition. An opposition is a 180° angle — two planets on opposite ends of the same axis. Magnetic and tiring. Often shows up as a back-and-forth between two parts of yourself that both have a point.
- Sun. The Sun is your core orientation — what you are trying to become. Less about who you are right now and more about what you are growing into. The sign of your Sun describes the project of your life.

What does Pluto opposite Sun mean for you?
The dates above come from your birthday alone. What the transit brings depends on the rest of your chart: the house Pluto crosses and the planets it touches on the way. Solstice reads them with your birth time and place, and talks with you about it while it lasts.
