What happens when two planets, (that most astrologers will consider to be difficult or trying when connected in our astrology chart) Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn square off?  In astrology Saturn is the principle of hard work, paying homage to tradition, and doing something because it is what needs to get done, not necessarily what you want to do.
Saturn says it doesn't matter if you like what needs to be done, if you don't do it you will regret or pay the consequences of not doing the dutiful obligation that is currently nagging to be completed.
Pluto is the principle of transformation.
Pluto drags us down to depths that we never realize existed or ever thought we could handle.
Pluto will test us in a very deep and trying way.
Pluto can wipe out everything in your life and you start over from scratch.
This is very typical when someone suffers from a natural disaster, flood, hurricane, fire, or a life altering event such as a traumatic divorce or unexpected death of a loved one.
Saturn, who is telling us to keep doing what needs to be done, is having a confrontation with Pluto who is suggesting it is time to wipe the slate clean and start over.
How can these two principles work together? Here is the astrology explanation.
Pluto is in Capricorn; the ruler of Capricorn is Saturn and Saturn is in Libra which is in its exaltation.
This is saying that Saturn will help Pluto clear out structures that have become outdated through testing our relationships (Libra).
How will this manifest in your life? Do you have problems with your spouse over traditions that you have set in the relationship? Traditional roles may be reversed.
The working husband may now find himself at home while looking for another job.
Traditions of where and how to spend holidays and vacations may be altered.
There may be power plays over how and who spends the finances.
 Saturn is in Libra, Libra is ruled by Venus and she is in Scorpio (square Mars) if you have debt there will be stress and fighting over debt and how to get rid of the debt you have.
In the astrology chart for the exact time that Saturn squares Pluto the Sun is in Scorpio and is square Neptune.
This creates uncertainty and confusion which will cloud judgment in the midst of the changes that Saturn square Pluto is asking us to make.
The Sun, the star and center of our universe, is the symbol of our identity.
With Neptune connected to the Sun we can have a hard time letting go of the past as our identity can be too connected to the life that Pluto and Saturn are renovating.
If you have your sense of self, your ego tied into your job, your possession, your expectations of who your partner is supposed to be, you could be headed for disappointment.
