10. Pluto Aspects - the Transformation of Consciousness.
Pluto-Vesta. Wilfulness and purification unite. Working positively, this combination gives an ability to focus powerfully on one's spiritual life or on other very important life missions. This concentration of force will bear results for good or ill, depending upon the motivation. Working negatively (conjunction and hard aspects), this force may be used to control or manipulate people. If so, the emotional pain and serious consequences that Pluto brings will provide an incentive to change. Quiet and private spiritual practices to renew one's connection with the soul is recommended. Working positively, much good can be done to help people,
Pluto-Juno. Wilfulness and marriage unite. The ultimate goal of this combination is to transform any negative attitudes involving marriage. For instance, becoming obsessed with a partner and trying to control and manipulate him or her to get one's way. The underlying problem is that one does not have a mature and balanced relationship with oneself - hence the skills are not in place to relate well with others. These must be developed. Overall, the potential exists to create a relationship that is deeply fulfilling and satisfying. Easy aspects help such a union to manifest.
Pluto-Ceres, Wilfulness and nurturing unite. This combination indicates that the parenting style could involve a “tough-love” approach, commando-style parenting. It is usually applied to children who are wilfully out of control. But skill is required to get the right mix, to ensure abuse does not arise. It would be useful in managing young offenders who break the law. Negatively (conjunction and hard aspects), early life can be tough, even abusive so that self-esteem plummets and emotional disorders arise. But there is much healing potential and an effort should be made to regain confidence.
Pluto-Pallas. Wilfulness and mental-creativity unite. Working well, this combination indicates an intelligent and creative use of inner power to create the type of life or career that is wanted. There is insight and an ability to read people's motives. These are excellent attributes to have generally and especially in the business world. Women in particular will benefit, enabling them to do well in the traditional world of men. Misused (conjunction and hard aspects), there is a compelling urge to force one's will onto others, to manipulate in clever but underhanded ways. But overall, there is intelligent leadership talent, which will bring success if it is used correctly.
Pluto-Chiron. Wilfulness and healing-wisdom unite. This combination indicates traumatic events in early life, serious losses or even abuse, which leave their mark in the form of emotional wounds and negative core beliefs about the self. This is especially so with the conjunction and hard aspects. If this is the case, it is important to seek inner-child or emotional healing for the problem, otherwise the trauma will plague the life. Working positively (all aspects potentially), the darker side of life is understood. If it has been experienced but in time wounds have healed, people with this combination can help others who have been similarly traumatised. There is powerful healing potential.
Pluto-Nodes. Wilfulness and spiritual-progression unite. This combination indicates that the life will be positively transformed and so will the personality. Pluto located on the south-node or square it, this indicates that powerful people or circumstances from the past are preventing this regeneration. It is vital these be cut away. Traits of the south node sign need to be eliminated - they are binding the soul to matter. Simultaneously, the positive qualities of the north-node sign need to be cultivated. Power is available to transform others.
Pluto-Asc. Wilfulness and new beginnings unite. The perspective of life will continually transform due to enormous challenges faced in life. But strength is given. Such people walk through life with courage. Power surrounds the persona and others sit up and take notice because of the intensity of will being radiated. Such people are often catalysts for change because of this impact. The conjunction and hard aspects indicate this force may be misused to control and manipulate people. If so, this must be resisted. The soul's purpose is to use this power wisely for self-healing and to help transform the lives of people for the better.
Pluto-MC. Wilfulness and higher-goals unite. People with this combination have what it takes to do well in management. The career may involve delving to the bottom of things and uncovering the truth by bringing hidden things into the light so they can be examined - such as in detective work, applied psychology or occult investigations. However, care needs to be taken with the conjunction and hard aspects to avoid becoming obsessed about getting power and being manipulative or destructive in doing so. This will bring a powerful backlash from people in authority. But generally, the aspect shows that insightfulness and once the will to achieve is applied (if the energy is managed well), success will follow.
