"For those who use the Sabian Symbols, the symbol of the degree on which a (retrograding) planet falls at the time of it's opposition to the Sun will give a key both to the basic meaning of the confrontation experienced and to its potential solution as well. (Of course, that meaning is a general challenge to all humankind. However, it will affect each individual personally according to the planets house positions at the time.)"

This 'basic meaning' will apply from the time of that opposition until the time when the planet again opposes the Sun, during its next retrograde transit.

Retrograde Pluto was last opposite the Sun on 15th July 2020, from Capricorn 24 - for which the Lynda Hill Sabian Symbol interpretation is

"A WOMAN ENTERING A CONVENT

This Symbol shows spending time in contemplation and dedication to one’s spiritual life or to a higher cause. At times, you will have to drop the demands of society and the lower, base nature, to concentrate on more spiritual, higher, or meaningful things in life. There may be a need to get away from the pressures of society, contemplating your inner thoughts and values. This may be a lonely passage and you may be disenchanted with the ways of others. There needs to be times of inner work, just as for outer. Dedicating oneself to the big picture can bring rewards, but hiding yourself away too much can lead to losses on many levels. Spiritual retreat. Losing the libido. Renouncing things. Taking vows. Marriage with God. Longing for love of a higher kind. Sexual retreat. Sacrifice. Opting out. Maintaining faith.

The Caution: Self sacrifice to win sympathy. Complete neglect of self and hiding away. Crisis of faith. Feeling devoid of emotion. Lost and alone. Self denial. Loss of hope."

The next opposition of retrograde Pluto to Sun will be at Capricorn 26, on 17th July 2021 ... http://sabiansymbols.com/symbol-lookup/

Can anyone relate that interpretation to what is actually happening currently in the houses of their natal and transit Pluto?

At present though, we are still under the influence of the opposition that occurred on 10th September 2019 - from Pisces 18 ... for which Lynda Hill's Sabian Symbol interpretation is :

"IN A HUGE TENT A FAMOUS REVIVALIST CONDUCTS HIS MEETING WITH A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE

This shows hearing or delivering important messages, decrees or rules for living, making sense of spiritual instruction, seeing who’s an authority worth listening to and who’s not. Seeing through false intentions or messages could be one of your objectives now. You may need to organize and stage a display to promote, teach or disseminate, bringing a feeling of community in a common goal. With the power to influence or sway groups of people, there needs to be a feeling of moderation and the ability to listen as well as speak. This can, however, picture situations of hysteria or overstating one's case. Is the audience listening? Is the cause just? Energy and inspiration. Having a lot to say. Evangelism. Whipped up emotions. Media circus. Instructional or dogmatic. Ecstasy. Loud voices. Mind control. Performing. Showmanship.

The Caution: Greedy spiritualism. Big egos. Charlatans. Overblown feelings of abilities. Manipulation or exploitation. Controlling others. Bigotry. Getting worked up. Lies."

Can anyone relate that interpretation to their life events since 10th September 2019?

Lynda Hill's interpretation for Capricorn 5 is :

"A YOUTHFUL WIDOW, FRESH AND SOUL-CLEANSED FROM GRIEF, KNEELS AT AN OPEN GRAVE TO RECEIVE THE SECRET OF ETERNAL LIFE

This Symbol speaks of things from the past that sometimes block progress in the present or for the future. Don't let loss beckon you to give up and throw everything away. There must always be a time to grieve, but what is lost is lost and cannot be regained by losing yourself. Know when it’s time to fill in the grave and let go, whether it’s literally letting go of people who have passed away or have disappeared from your life, in order to move on. Gather up your energies and move towards new objectives letting go of the old. Letting go of relationships and things. Purging the past. Gradual realization of the illusion of matter. The passage of grief. Redundancies. The gifts that loss and separation can bring.

"A WOMAN READING TEA LEAVES

This Symbol shows being able to see things that others miss or using the intuition in order to receive the gifts that divination can bring. While others just see something simple like a tea cup, you can have the ability to weave a story for yourself and others about how life will, or can, be. One has to put aside skepticism and embrace trust and intuitive knowing in order to be able to listen to the messages that are around. Be open to seeing meaning through the catalyst of the simplest of everyday events. You will receive messages, if you are open to 'seeing' the signs. You may have to deal with skeptical people. Symbolism that acts to open pathways to the spiritual center. Reading things. Non verbal clues. Tea and sympathy. Divining the future. Rituals. Oracles. Fine China. Guidance.

The Caution: Reliance on esoteric advice. Not trusting gut feelings. Looking for confirmation of fears. Taking things literally, not symbolically. Excessive tea or coffee drinking."

[!n my natal chart, Capricorn 29 is in 4th house - and forms a boomerang configuration with Uranus at Gemini 30 (in 9th, but on Mc); Chiron at Scorpio 30 (in 3rd) and Jupiter at Capricorn 1 (in 4th). ... So, I'm now 'awakened" to the possibility that Saturn is currently delivering events/messages/signs that will (have the potential to) open my eyes about the lesson(s) of that natal Uranus-Chiron-Jupiter stimulation/irritation triangle.

"A SOLDIER RECEIVING TWO AWARDS FOR BRAVERY IN COMBAT

This Symbol shows being able to receive praise, awards or rewards when they are due. We often need to be acknowledged for the issues or causes we’ve fought for and the battles we’ve endured. True deeds of valor and bravery should be rewarded. Whether you are rewarded, respected or recognized, for the good things you’ve done or not, you’ll know that you’ve done them. You will find that your efforts will, at some time, be recognized and some appreciation, payment or compensation will be offered. You may also be the one who needs to recognize others’ achievements. Subsequent awards are often greater than the first because the dangers are well understood. Repeated bravery. Medals, tributes or honors given. Insurance or legal claims. Giving thanks. Recognition for persistence. Award ceremonies. Posthumous awards.

The Caution: 'Awards' as band-aids for the purposes of assuaging the guilt of the populace so often produced in war. Desperate for recognition. Rejection lines. Bribery."

[Capricorn 23 is in my natal 4th + progressed 2nd, and completes a learning triangle with Venus in Libra/1st + Mars in Sagittarius/3rd. ... I am currently experiencing a clash of personal values with the female members of my nuclear family, upon an issue that we have repeatedly disagreed about for many years.]

"A COUNCIL OF ANCESTORS HAS BEEN CALLED TO GUIDE SOMEONE

This Symbol shows having faith in those who went before; to have trust, protection and hope in the “Guidance” of the elders. You may be strengthened by the wisdom of those who have gone before you, whether they are your physical or spiritual “Ancestors”. There is so much understanding available through the experienced elders, or ancestors, and this can be tapped by you. Feel the strength of having valuable and knowledge people on your side or traveling with you on your journey. You may experience messages from the other side or feel that you’re on a journey that’s karmic, fated and guided and directed. Inner knowledge. Direct tap root to deeper sources. Karmic connections. Grandparents. Family lineage. Séances. The Akashic Records. Bloodlines. Strict guidelines. Councils.

The Caution: Reliance on conservatism. Not with the times. Needing the nod of approval from others for validation. Bound by family or past-life karma. Old fashioned attitudes."

Aquarius 5 is in my natal 4th/progressed 3rd, and forms a learning triangle with Saturn in Virgo/11th and NN in Taurus/8th.
