On 23 March 2025, the cosmos delivers a quietly powerful gift: the Sun in Aries forms a harmonious sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. This astrological aspect brings deep transformation through awareness, inviting us to step into our personal power with integrity and intention.
What Is a Sun Sextile Pluto Transit?
A sextile is a 60° angle between two planets, creating opportunities for growth and constructive change. When the Sun, our core identity and life force, meets Pluto, the planet of transformation and rebirth, we are offered a chance to align with our deeper truth and evolve with clarity.
This energy is subtle yet potent. It doesn’t push it whispers truths, draws veils back, and opens doors that may have been closed due to fear or resistance. Unlike the intensity of a square or opposition, the sextile lets us choose transformation, making it a day of potential empowerment if we are willing to step through the threshold.
Themes to Explore on March 23
Empowered Identity: With the Sun in fiery Aries, there’s a courageous spark in the air. This transit invites you to reclaim parts of yourself you may have disowned or hidden. It’s a day to own your story all of it and lead with authenticity.
Spiritual and Psychological Insight: Pluto in Aquarius lends a progressive, collective tone to transformation. You may gain insight into your role in the greater whole or recognize patterns that need to shift for you to contribute more meaningfully.

Final Thoughts
The Sun sextile Pluto is like a cosmic mirror held gently before you not to judge, but to help you see your strength, your depth, and your soul’s wisdom more clearly.
Let this be a day of conscious emergence. You are not who you were, and yet, you’ve always held the key. Now, it’s time to turn the lock.
A Sacred Invitation to Go Within
As the Sun forms a harmonious sextile to Pluto, we’re offered a doorway into quiet empowerment and soul-deep transformation. These sacred reflections are here to guide your journaling or contemplation nudging you gently toward your inner truth, illuminating what’s ready to be reclaimed, and anchoring you in the wisdom of your becoming.Let the light of your awareness meet the depth of your spirit. The answers are already within.
Empowered Identity
Prompt: What part of my story deserves to be seen, honoured, or reclaimed?
Reflection:
We all carry pieces of our story that we tuck away either because they were painful, misunderstood, or simply didn’t seem to “fit” into the narrative we were expected to live. Yet these hidden chapters often hold the gold of our becoming. Today is an invitation to look gently at a part of your journey you’ve minimized or buried. What did that version of you need at the time? What strength did you cultivate through that experience? Let this be a reclamation of your wholeness, not a rewriting your truth, fully seen, is your power.
Spiritual and Psychological Insight
Prompt: What insight have I been resisting, even though I know it holds truth?
Reflection:
Sometimes clarity comes before readiness. You may know something deep down about a relationship, a direction, a calling but haven’t yet acted on it. That resistance isn’t weakness; it’s often protection. Still, the presence of this transit suggests you’re strong enough to see it now. Sit with the insight you’ve been keeping at arm’s length. Let it speak without pressure to respond. How does your body react when you say it aloud? What would change if you allowed that truth to fully land?
Subtle Shifts, Big Impact
Prompt: What would shift if I started honouring the smallest acts of alignment as sacred?
Reflection:
In a culture that often glorifies dramatic transformation, we can overlook the quiet power of small, soul-aligned actions. But brushing your hair with care, saying no with peace, or pausing before reacting these are acts of devotion to your truth. Imagine treating each of these moments as sacred threads in the tapestry of your life. How might that change your energy? What small, aligned action could you choose today that feels simple but sacred?
Healing the Shadow
Prompt: What shadow part of me actually holds a hidden gift?
Reflection:There’s often magic in the places we’ve been taught to hide. Anger can reveal your boundaries. Jealousy might expose your deepest desires. Procrastination could signal misalignment. Rather than banishing the shadow, this is a time to sit beside it and ask: What are you here to teach me? The gift isn’t always obvious at first but with curiosity and compassion, what once felt like a flaw might just be a doorway to deeper self-trust and expression.
Reclaiming Courage and Truth
Prompt: What action would I take if I trusted myself completely?
Reflection:Beneath fear and doubt lies a quiet knowing a spark of clarity waiting to be followed. If you removed the noise of others’ opinions, the fear of judgment, or the pressure to do things “right,” what would you do? Even imagining this action can stir something awake within you. Let yourself dream it without editing. What does this version of you feel like? What would it mean to trust yourself enough to begin, even with one small step?
Guided Meditation: Illuminating the Hidden Light
Theme: Gentle transformation, soul truth, empowered inner awareness
Let’s begin.
Find a quiet, comfortable space somewhere you can really settle in for a few minutes. You can sit upright with your spine tall or lie down if that feels better for you. When you're ready, go ahead and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and a long, slow breath out through your mouth.Let’s do that again, inhale deeply, filling your body with light, and exhale, letting go of any tension you're holding. One more deep breath in and a soft release out. Let your breath return to a natural rhythm now. There’s nowhere else you need to be. This moment is just for you.
Now imagine this.
There’s a gentle golden light glowing in the centre of your chest. This is your Inner Sun your truth, your power, your clarity. With each breath, feel it growing warmer, brighter…spreading through your chest, down your arms, into your belly and legs. Let it surround you. Let it hold you.
Now picture yourself standing before the entrance of a cave. It’s ancient, peaceful… and it feels like it belongs to you. This is the Cave of Self the place where your deeper truths live. In your hands, you carry that golden light your own knowing, your own soul fire. And now, when you're ready, step gently into the cave. As you walk, the light you carry softly lights the space around you. You start to notice parts of yourself stored here. Old memories, forgotten strengths, parts of you that were hidden away. There’s no need to rush. Just move slowly and see what comes.
And now, some gentle words to guide your heart as you explore:
I welcome the truth that lives within me. I no longer fear my depth I honour it. What has been hidden is not broken; it is sacred. I am safe to reclaim all parts of myself. I trust the wisdom of my soul to guide my next steps. If any images, thoughts, or feelings rise up just let them be.There’s nothing you need to do. Just notice. Just listen.
Now take a moment to tune in.
Is there one thing maybe a pattern, a fear, a belief you feel ready to let go of? If something comes, offer it to the earth of the cave. Imagine gently placing it down, knowing you don’t need to carry it anymore. Feel the space that opens up within you. Feel your Inner Sun grow brighter.
Let’s begin to return now.
Start walking back to the entrance of the cave but this time, you’re walking with more clarity, more connection. As you step out into the open, feel the warmth of the cosmic Sun on your skin. You’ve brought your light with you. You’ve remembered something true.
And now, gently come back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers… your toes…Take a breath in through your nose…and sigh it out through your mouth. When you're ready, open your eyes. Take a moment to just sit and feel what’s shifted. You’ve just walked with your soul. Let that light guide you today.
A Ritual for the Day
Light a black or gold candle colours of mystery and empowerment. Sit in stillness and visualize the light illuminating your inner truth. Ask: What am I ready to see more clearly? Write down what comes, no matter how small or symbolic.
Pluto doesn’t demand instant action it asks for integrity and commitment to the process of becoming. Allow the answers to unfold.
