Pluto: natal and transit. The medicine of dying and rebirth
Being a higher planet, Pluto belongs to the sphere of spiritual growth. It is considered to be a planet that brings complex transformations and often destructive events.
Pluto's key principle is to teach humans how to die and be re-born. As well as how to develop and own our inner power (something that we inevitably learn in the pain of transformation).
Pluto is associated with deep psychic energies, which are difficult to trace, and as a rule, its work is only visible over time.
By bringing upheavals, Pluto aligns us with our higher mission, as well as the collective karma.
It brings critical adjustments or eliminates all that is no longer valid for our further growth. Sometimes it is only possible through the entire destruction of the external (or internal) reality we are holding on to.
The position and aspects of Pluto in the natal chart show the area where the experience of critical upheavals will occur.
This is also a sphere of your chart where you have access to some hidden resources where the energy of transformation is available to you and you intuitively know how to manage it, but often can only do it unconsciously (especially before the age of 40). Instead, it feels like these hidden resources are running you through the position and aspects of your Pluto.
If Pluto is harmonious in the chart, then this point of power will attract people (Pluto in the first house, for example, can give some well-pronounced charisma), if vice versa, Pluto is aspected inauspiciously then its force can be oppressive and destructive.
The principle of Pluto's work in the transit is such that by making a deep restructuring and transformation in your life, it simultaneously makes your psyche and inner world more flexible and responsive in relation to the outside world.
Purifying the subtle bodies, Pluto clears the space for a more harmonious, powerful and precise action that is aligned with one’s higher mission.
Unlike Uranus, which acts with lightning speed and sweeps everything to the ground, Pluto always gives hints, and some backlash for a reversal, before it dismantles a certain area of one’s life.
The more deaf you are to Pluto’s signs, the lower is the level of vibrations it brings you at. In some critical cases, it may be a complete elimination of a person from the physical plane.
The most tangible of all Pluto’s transits occurs at the age of 38-42 when it makes a square aspect to the natal planet.
Your personal natal Pluto is the best teacher to be prepared for this remarkable transit.
All people in our lives with who we have meaningful connections should also be viewed as transits. So Pluto’s aspects in the relationships can give you no less work to do than the transit. (Here I write more about Pluto in a synastry).
Pluto teaches us to be fully responsible and honest in the face of the unpredictability of the external circumstances and develop the adequate intensity in response to it.
One of Pluto's manifestation is when you can't no longer lie to yourself about your deepest wounds and fears.
If you do this work with diligence, Pluto will give a lot of energy to fulfil your mission. As an add-on, once its life - changing aspect is passed, it can enhance the psychic abilities of a "good disciple", such as intuition, paranormal talents and personal magnetism.
Pluto is always considered being strong in a chart when it is in the angle houses.
A retrograde Pluto in a chart will cause psychic energy to flow inward rather than outward, and thus transformative events will often be only internal, without visible turmoil.
With proper work, this can give amazing intuition and the ability to control one's own thoughts and emotional states, as well as the gift to transmit the priceless experience of this inner work to others, which a person with a direct Pluto, even a very strong one, won't be able to do.
