Where do power struggles occur in your life? What are you protective over? Which aspects of life do you obsessively think over? What situations bring out your inner strength, and inspire you to transform?
Pluto in the 1st House: Having a like Pluto in the ascendant will give someone an intense demeanor, and others may find you quite mysterious. This can be an attractive trait, as others are curious to know what’s going on inside your head. You come off as strong and independent, a natural leader, and possibly very unique. The ascendant intensifies Pluto’s energy and you may find yourself focused on Plutonian things other than most, such as change and transformation, the taboo, or personal power. Like Pluto in the third or 9th house, there may be an urge to understand Plutonian matters that can be confusing, such as death. Even though you present yourself powerfully, your ascendant sign and aspects will also determine how powerful you really are. There is also a unique ability to completely drop a personality and move on to a new one, as many people with this placement accept change as a part of life and enjoy the transformations they undergo. You are probably secretive to a degree, which gives you an enigmatic energy that may fascinate, or intimidate, others. You may struggle with power, or find yourself wanting to control others. Either way, power and change are going to be an ongoing theme throughout your life, but in the end your experiences have the potential to make you stronger and result in tremendous inner growth.
Pluto in the 2nd House: As the 2nd house rules material possessions as well as finances, it is possible that people with this placement will undergo many changes in this area throughout their life, however they will typically work to teach lessons. Some people will have a secretive and possessive attitude not only towards their money, but also to their personal belongings. You may be overly obsessed with their finances or have a large amount of greed, or simply just protective of their material objects and have a strong sense of ownership that could, consciously or unconsciously, be associated with your personal power. The power of Pluto in this house gives one a strong ability to financially strategize and have a natural desire to earn money. You may be able to financially prosper through research, science, psychology, or other similar fields. You may associate having money as well as material objects with your own personal security, and it’s possible to become overly materialistic. Sharing is probably not your strong suit.
Pluto in the 3rd House: With this placement, knowledge is power. These individuals have a natural curiosity and instinctively search for the hidden meaning behind every message they receive. You have the ability to communicate extremely well and convince others to see your point of view because you speak with such strength, power, and clarity. You have a uniquely powerful mind and probably question almost everything you hear. Your ability to read between the lines makes you an intuitive communicator as well as a great learner. Those with Pluto in 3rd may become very frustrated when they are unable to cover the truth about something because of their neverending thirst for knowledge. Sometimes negative thinking can become an issue, as these people also have a fascination for the Plutonian aspects of life and may become obsessed with the negative truth they uncover. You’re constantly asking questions and wondering “why” and “how” after everything people say. As the 3rd house represents siblings, there could be power struggles there, but other planets and aspects will dictate how strong that is. There may be a need to find a deeper meaning in life in order to feel satisfied.
Pluto in the 4th house: As the cusp of the 4th house is the Imum Coeli, the planets that reside there often represent one’s early life, home environment, and parental upbringing. Pluto in the 4th house can represent an upbringing with tension or power struggles within the home. One or both parents may have been manipulative and controlling, or possibly just very intense. In the early life it’s possible there was a power struggle between your parents, which you may have internalized. When hitting puberty, the power struggle may have been between you and your parents. However, if there are benefic planets in this house or a well aspected Pluto, this is not always the case. You may be more comfortable expressing their power in an intimate setting rather than showing it to the world. You may be protective of their home or loved ones because security is important with this placement. Since Pluto represents transformation, there could have been many changes in the home setting or changes the family went through as a child. Pluto can represent death, and some with this placement lose a family member early in life. However, this “death” may not always be literal. There could be a great loss suffered by the family, or a divorce, etc. You may have learned to be secretive or protective due to your upbringing.
Pluto in the 5th house: As the 5th house represents creative expression and various forms of pleasure, those with this placement often have unusual skills or interests along with a powerful sense of creativity. You take pride in your creations and often approach them with a serious attitude, simply because they’re important to you. You often express yourself in a dramatic way that often draws people’s attention towards you. Often there is a strong desire to throw yourself into your creative endeavors with power and enthusiasm, but there could also be fear and tension that stand in the way at times. Since the 5th house’s pleasure extends to the area of romance, these people have an intense approach to partnership and desire a very intense, passionate, and often sensual energy in their romantic relationships. Some people with this placement may place too much emphasis on sex when it comes to relationships and need to find another outlet for the vast amount of creative energy they hold. If your attitude in love isn’t so intense, you probably attract partners with Plutonian qualities. You may have a fear of being betrayed by your partner. If you have kids, they will most likely be unique and there could be a lack of understanding in the relationship, however these people will throw everything they have into parenting and strive to influence their children for the better.
Pluto in the 6th House: The powerful energy of Pluto here causes one to be gifted in self analysis in areas such as their personal health and well-being. They may be very drawn to self-improvement and enjoy growing and achieving through life. Caring for yourself and others will prove crucial in inner growth. Or, if this energy is very undeveloped, or there are malefic planets also present in the house, you could simply be a hypochondriac. Another important thing to those with Pluto in 6th is their work. You are an excellent problem solver and you actually seem to enjoy searching for a solution to issues that may come up with work or school. You have the ability to throw much of your energy into your work endeavors, however you may become a workaholic or overly obsessed with your work or school output. You may fear criticism when it comes to this area of your life, simply because it’s quite important to you. However you have the ability to encourage others to take on difficult challenges, especially those you go to school or work with. Healing may be something you’re interested in, and if so, you have very strong power in this area with natural abilities if you choose to explore it. Some with this placement are better off working as a leader in their profession because they may resent being told what to do by their superiors.
Pluto in the 7th house: This placement frequently represents power struggles within relationships with others. You may find yourself drawn to partners with Plutonian traits, people who are intense, those who you perceive are powerful, and possibly obsessive or jealous. Or on the contrary, close partnerships may bring out these traits in your own personality. The passion and intensity of close relationships may appeal to you, or it may fear you, as you can be resistant to sacrifice your own personal partner for the sake of the relationship. The various themes of power struggles regarding close relationships can manifest themselves in different ways depending on the other planets in the 7th house, aspects to Pluto, and of course the position of other planets like Venus and Mars. Nethertheless, you crave a deep connection with your partner as well as a strong bond. Relationships will be intense because individuals with Pluto on the descendant radiate natural intensity. As Pluto can also represent where we strive for growth and change, a lot of inner growth can be found within your partnerships with others. You enjoy relationships that inspire you to grow and transform different aspects of your personality for the better, which makes it understandable why people with this placement are often attracted to those who they feel are powerful.
Pluto in the 8th house: Here, Pluto is at home and its energy is intensified and strengthened. You are fascinated by Plutonian aspects of life and have a very high level of intuition, even possible clairvoyant abilities. You’re skilled at reading others, even though others have trouble reading you! Your interest in all that is taboo, dark, and mysterious can lead others to question what’s going on inside your head. This attraction to such unusual things might mean you attract unusual experiences. This placement causes you to crave the deeper meaning in life, and you often find yourself interested in the way the universe works. You are able to understand the motives of others and gain a deeper understanding of people than most. You are also gifted in the art of transformation and you feel as though you can transform yourself whenever you want. Your ability to transform your inner self is strong and you are also gifted in self-control. Your healing abilities are powerful with this placement. When it comes to sex, those with Pluto in 8th may crave intense sexual experiences and passionate affairs. A nontraditional approach to sex is common because of your craving to experience intense and unique aspects of life. If there are power struggles, they may be financial struggles shared with a long-term partner.
Pluto in the 9th house: Similarly to Pluto in 3rd, those with this placement have a powerful curiosity and desire to uncover the truth in life. Pluto in 9th enjoys learning and seeks to find the deeper meaning in life. You want to know the purpose of life, and without one it’s difficult to feel satisfied. You don’t follow religion or philosophy blindly and refuse to believe an idea that has little evidence to back it up. What you do believe in is important to you and you can be very defensive about your ideas if challenged in this area. The beliefs you carry are often unique and you’re a very individual thinker. You are confident in your beliefs because you understand the harm of blindly following others ideas, and because you know how important the truth is. You can be an extremely persuasive speaker because of how powerful your beliefs are. You enjoy convincing others of your ideas, although you may become frustrated if you are ignored or dismissed, because you know (or think) you’re probably right. You may undergo many transformations throughout your life regarding your views on philosophy and religion. Travel may inspire inner growth and transformations, as well as higher education.
Pluto in the 10th house: This is a powerful placement that can indicate success when it comes to one’s career and professional setting. People notice you because you have a powerful presence and stand out. This placement indicates an ability to be very ambitious when it comes to excelling in a professional environment. There is a natural ability to apply your determination to your career related endeavors. You’re a natural leader, and that’s how others see you as well, but you may resent authority and being in the position of a subordinate. This could cause tension in relations with authority figures, as you probably feel you don’t need others to tell you what to do, and you’re probably right. You have a natural sense when it comes to responsibility and your powerful presence as well as strength can make you a very persuasive leader. Your career may be very important to you, or if not, your reputation, causing you to protect these aspects of your life. You may undergo many changes regarding your career throughout your life, and have the ability to drop one endeavor and pick up a completely different one.
Pluto in the 11th house: The relationships you form with others may be very intense, and your friendships and social settings will most likely undergo many changes throughout your life. This area could offer great opportunities for inner growth if channeled properly. There are two possibilities for social extremes- having an obsessive attitude regarding friends or social groups/clubs, with a large amount of intensity in this area in life OR you may have a major aversion to socialization or being a part of a group of friends. Being a part of a group may lead you to feel threatened, question your strength/power, or you may have conflict with friends and/or socializing. The intensity can easily be found both repelling and attractive by these individuals. Since this is obviously conflicting, look at the contents of your 11th house for further clues. A benefic planet here, or possibly a well aspected Pluto, will cause more favorable themes of power or power struggles; while malefic planets and disharmonious aspects may cause someone to develop an aversion when it comes to socializing and being a part of a group. Another trait with this placement is that you are probably comfortable with change. Having Pluto in the house of Aquarius gives you an individualistic vibe that others pick up on, and it inspires you to think of social change that would benefit society. Some people may view you as strange, but you probably don’t mind being unique. You get that society has to change and occasionally even fall apart in order to progress and reach necessary levels of development, even when other people don’t.
Pluto in 12th: As Plutonian energy is already secretive and protective, and 12th house energy is what we consider vulnerable and in need of protection, Pluto in 12th is an intensely secretive placement. You probably hide your strength or powerful thoughts from other people in order to protect them! You enjoy having power but don’t need to broadcast it to the world. In fact, you actually prefer calling the shots from behind the scenes. You most likely don’t need others to acknowledge your power in order to feel validated. Another thing about you is that your emotions can manifest themselves very intensely which can be difficult to handle. The good part about this placement is it indicates a great potential for intuition and clairvoyant abilities. You are naturally spiritually gifted, and may test yourself from time to time because your desires can be very intense. Simply by withholding from a bad habit to prove to yourself you don’t need it, your power increases. Although, know that you are at risk for developing unhealthy habits such as drug or sex addiction. You are probably drawn to escapist methods of coping, which can act as a slippery slope for 12 house placements. It’s best to try and maintain self awareness regarding all things Plutonian, as the 12th house can cast a veil of haziness over the planets it contains, making them difficult to interpret. Your passion can make you reckless and take unnecessary risks, and you need to learn to express your more powerful emotions in a healthy way. Spiritual endeavors may be of special importance to you, and are probably great for your inner growth.
