Pluto – Transformation and Regeneration; Integration withthe Shadow
8th House – Sex, Death, Shared Resources, andInheritances
Pluto in Libra – the conflicting desire to balance theindividual on a solo level vs the desire to be in a relationship.

Why I Chose TheseSongs: These songs all have a Rise-From-The-Ashes feel about them. Of theones I added a link to; they’re the ones I feel encapsulate the Pluto archetypethe most (plus Hades/Pluto rules precious metals and gems).
“Gethsemane” is Christ resurrecting from the day on Sunday;Pluto continues Saturn’s lesson, “You will fall,” and Pluto adds, “You willrise, becoming stronger in the process.” “For the Heart I Once Had” reminds meof Scorpio’s cynicism. These people know that the world is fucked up and have beenhurt many times over which makes it difficult for them to see the Light. This Nightwish song talks about the changethat Scorpio/Pluto faces when a negative event happened that changed theindividual—they are no longer the same.
Lastly is “Ghost River” in which Marco and Tuomas have saidthat it is about the devil and Mother Gaia fighting it out with each other. Itis not only the heaviest I’ve mentioned – very plutonian – but depicts theduality within Scorpio/Pluto in general. The cynic brooding; the dark vs light;staying in that grim place or rise to the level of the Phoenix.
