Lovable old Pluto. (yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

OK, Pluto has been in Sagittarius for a few years now (first entered January 1995, left for a bit March 1995, and has been there ever since October 1995.) Many of us have had it cross our Moon, with the resulting trauma. If it has crossed yours, how did it manifest? (If you don't know, send me the degree of your Moon, or your birth info, and I'll tell you when Pluto hit it.)

I've talked to some people who had this transit who only talked of emotional turmoil, not an actual life changing event. In my case, though, it was both.

When it first moved into orb of the conjunction with my Moon, my mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. At the time I found out, I had been living in California for for two months.

As the Pluto reached the exact conjunction with my Moon, I had to move from the place I was staying because of a major falling out with my roommate. The new place, with new roommates, was very emotionally chaotic, and I ended up moving to another place after only three months. And all this time was stressing over my mother.

Other things in California were getting to me too, simple day to day things like missing the changes of seasons. I packed up my stuff and began driving back east as Pluto again came in orb of conjunction to my Moon.

Over the next several months, I went to visit my mother as often as possible, and tried (without success) to get her to consider alternate treatments. She swore by the attending physician, who was a relative of ours, and being a Sun conjunct Uranus in Aquarius, and probably a Taurus rising, she was very stubborn about it. There were a few good moments, and some relapses, as the Moon passed over my Moon, then retrograded again. In August 1999, Pluto went stationary direct around 7 Sag 44 (my Moon is 7 Sag 07), my mother turned very ill, went in a coma 8 days after the station, and died two dies later.
