When is it most likely that transiting Pluto will kick in when for example conjuring a natal planet?
When the conjunction is exact?
Or even a bit before it is 0 Deg. Conjunction, like 3 degrees before that? Or maybe 3 Degrees after that?
I would give it a range of 2 degrees but would start taking note at probably 4/5 or so.
Check for that year first progressions, and if there is anything that is likewise that is prominent on your planets in them for the year the transit is.
Then check for that year your solar return and the quarter returns for the segments of the year in which Pluto is doing this transit in. See if there are any events that are signified by special degrees, tight aspects, the angles etc. etc. Transiting Pluto backs and reinforces these to potentially happening.
Then for each month when this is going on, also check the lunar returns and do the same.
Then it goes down to just being mindful of everyday astrology like moon signs and cycles, and the patterning which you can see in your own experience, how the transit might exploit it.
If anything is negative with any planet (like if you were also doing it for Saturn or so) then take extra precautions during that time if its specific. Like how some people move to different locations or stay alone or with people who have different synastry than who they are normally around etc. etc. Everything like that can be important too if its survival that's in question.
