As noted in a previous study of Mars square Pluto, Mars opposite Pluto is one the twelve more volatile
aspects in astrology (comprised of oppositions and squares with any combination of Mars, Saturn,
Uranus and Pluto), which I have observed. According to Robert Hand:
'At the time your efforts to affect others and to affect
others and to transform conditions around you may meet with considerable
resistance. Nevertheless you strive to get ahead and are prepared to work hard.
This transit can represent the culmination of successful effort, or it can be a
time when the opposition becomes so fierce that you have to give up.
This transit is a powerful sign of severe interpersonal
power struggles. The chief danger is that either you or your opponents in a
struggle will act with absolutely no regard for ethics or for the other
person’s feelings and situation. This combination acts ruthlessly and
relentlessly. You can, of course, do something about your own actions, but it
is hard to control the other person’s. The best course to take is to make your
position as secure as possible and enlist the aid of ass many people as you
can. Resist the temptation to go it alone, because that will bring out the
negative side of this transit.
Under extreme circumstances this transit can signify acts of
violence. While you should not necessarily expect this, you could encounter
some kind of physical assault. For this reason, avoid situations that involve
real danger, bad neighborhoods and the like. Also avoid making others so angry
that they will try to strike out against you. This is a greater possibility now
than at other times." (Planets In Transit, 2001. pp. 255-56)'
Because the Mars retrograde period occurs close to this aspect's orb, it goes through the full orb of this aspect three times. The first two, November 3, 2024, and January 3, 2025 have been quite dramatic. The third will occur on April, 26. The full 10 degree orb will last from April 1- May 18).
1st Nov 3, 2024, 2nd Jan 3, 2025 quite dramatic. 3rd: April, 26. Full 10 d orb: April 1- May 18
Nov 03 – Mars (Cancer) opposition Pluto (Capricorn)
The Nov 3 Mars opposition Pluto had a rather special
week-long configuration. The triangle pattern with the tip at Neptune
over a rectangle can be called an envelope or castle. Quite rare & complex,
it's actually a mystic rectangle with two kites, main basic figure being a
Mercuy, Neptune, Mars Grand Trine. Added to this was a Venus, Jupiter, Saturn
T-Square, intense, difficult, powerful & a Sun trine Saturn keeping things
stable & organized. Intense, difficult, but with strong, positive supports,
transformative potential

Mars
retrograde opposite Pluto was exact on January 3 and went beyond the 10 degree orb around January
29, coinciding with the terrible Washington Plane/Helicopter crash. My
observations indicate to me that it can give very volatile effects
throughout a 10-degree orb. Below are some of the of the types of
incidents that caught my attention since around December 28. It's been
quite a month, with added pressure from the Jupiter-Saturn square and
the still unstable, confusing area of the cusp of Pluto ingress into Aquarius (note that I use whole sign houses).
