luto is the planet of extremes, all or nothing at
all, the highest or the lowest and nothing in between. It's effects on other planets is as
follows:Pluto
Aspecting the Sun:
Gives power,
intensity. The stressful aspects (conjunction, square, and opposition) mean that others
will have an instant reaction to you. They will like you or hate you on sight and will not
be able to say why. It’s just a gut reaction that this combination brings about. All
Pluto aspects to the Sun will give you good ability as a healer (doctor or
psychotherapist). They also can make you a good detective. No planet better than Pluto
when it comes to finding out secrets.
Pluto Aspecting the Moon:
Tends towards sudden, extreme mood swings. I ought to know.
Two of my ex-girl friends had the opposition. Women with the stressful aspects have to be
careful of other women who will get jealous and turn on them, even after years of
"friendship". No, this does not mean that EVERY woman in your life will do this,
but you will get more than your share of such incidents, much more. The mother will tend
to be a strong-willed, no nonsense type. Again, in the horoscopes of women, the mother
will tend to be jealous of you and act accordingly.
Pluto Aspecting Mercury: Pluto is power and Mercury communications. People with this
aspect seem to communicate more forcefully than others. This quality increases the chances
of success in sales. It is also a good aspect to have for a therapist as your words can
heal. Be careful though. They also have a stronger than normal ability to wound. If you
are a popular song writer, this aspect increases the chance that your words will be heard
and sung by millions, even after your death. John Lennon has the square
between Mercury and Pluto, and both were stressfully aspected with the Moon at his birth.
The Moon adds feeling, emotion. Linda Ronstadt has Mercury and Pluto in
conjunction and both opposite the Moon to give the same effect.
Pluto Aspecting
Venus: Stressful aspects of Pluto to Venus
gives a tendency to lowered blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The other aspects that can do this
are stressful ones from Venus to Saturn or Uranus. Doris Hebel first pointed this out in a
1976 lecture. With Pluto aspecting Venus, you don’t fall in love half way. It’s
all or nothing. The highest or the lowest. I have seen several charts of prostitutes with
this combination. No, this doesn’t mean that everyone who has this aspect will sell
sex. It means that they have gone with the Pluto and rejected Venus. Pluto, ruler of
Scorpio, wants to be strong and in control. It loathes weakness. Venus is our ability to
express our softer feelings as well as our capacity to experience pleasure and be happy.
Go with the Pluto and you always want to be in control and dominate. You will do something
nasty to those you love every time they make you happy because happiness is experienced as
vulnerability. Of course, if you choose this route, you will never be happy. The other way
is keep everything charming and in good taste, rejecting the volcanic emotions underneath.
In that case, you will also tend to be attracted to seedy low-life types and hate yourself
for it. And, of course, you will never experience passion.
Pluto Aspecting Mars: Those with the stressful aspects don’t fight half way. The
effect is similar to having Mars in the sign of Scorpio. In any fight, their motto is
"Win at any cost". These people would probably do well in any profession that
requires eliminating or destroying something. And, of course, they have to be careful of
their temper, which tends to be on the volcanic side.The stressful aspects give a tendency
to destroy whatever they are working on before it is finished. I know a beautician with
this combination who switched to doing cellulite removal and became successful. The
harmonious aspects give the strength without the stress.
Pluto Aspecting Jupiter:
Doesn’t take ideas lightly. There is a strong tendency to
totally change the principles one was brought up with.
Pluto Aspecting Saturn:
Is a real drag to have when you’re a very young. It seems as
if all the other kids in the neighborhood can get away with mischief but you. You usually
got caught and retribution was immediate.
Pluto Aspecting Uranus:
Usually occurs during times of great social upheaval. The square
came in the early 1930’s during the Great Depression. From 1965-67, with the Vietnam
War raging, there was an opposition between these two. Pluto adds power to the Uranus
desire to do things differently. Pluto wants to destroy and eliminate. Uranus adds an urge
to do it quickly. On the positive side, this combination makes it easier to adapt to rapid
change and new technology, especially if either planet is also aspecting the Sun, Moon, or
Mercury in your horoscope.
Pluto Aspecting Neptune:
Will add plenty of zing to your imagination, especially if either
one of these planets is also in aspect with your Moon.
Pluto Aspecting the Ascendant: The conjunction of Pluto with the Ascendant can give you the
ability to scare a mugger away by giving them a dirty look. The trine or sextile give
strength too, but much more smoothly. You will be aware of your power, but in better
control of it than with the square. The square and opposition can cause your power to run
away with you. You really have to learn moderation if you have these aspects.
Relationships of all sorts will tend to become power struggles. Try to keep from using
thermonuclear weapons during minor marital disputes.
Pluto Aspecting the Mid-Heaven: If this is the closest aspect (harmonious or stressful makes no
difference in this case) it will incline you towards any profession involving death or
transformation, anything from medicine and psychotherapy, to working for a demolition
company. Careers involving power are also favored. Pluto wants to be the big boss. Venture
capitalist (Pluto rules other people’s money) is also a possibility.
