Chapter 11. Pluto in Your Chart

Astrologically speaking, the planet Pluto is a symbol of what the ancients used to call the "secret parts," including reproductive and elimination systems. Pluto is the force of cleansing. Are we talking about taking a bath or an enema? Are we washing our hands or confessing our sins? There are physical cleansings such as a juice fast which can be spiritual cleansings as well. There is therapy combined with meditation.

Pluto is the death goddess and ultimate controller of unseen, forbidden and underworld forces. Words that are rooted in Pluto such as plutonium (a deadly radioactive poison) and plutocracy (the secret rule of the wealthy class) leave little trace and yet tell much to those who seek. Pluto represents trust and violation of trust, control, obsessions and power struggles. Pluto is the force of intense transformation, so make the most of it. Analyze your situation and deal with deep psychological and political sludge.

Much fate is associated with Pluto, not many choices. When Pluto reaches out to touch you, you must restructure your self and your life, or Plutonian fates may give you a terminal nudge. Pluto is also the force of technical manipulations. In addition, Pluto represents "living hell" stories, second chances, rising up from the ashes and resurrections.

VERSATILE CLEANSING

TALK ABOUT TRANSFORMATIONS

You're part of a generation that went from horse and buggy to rockets to the moon. Your life has been something of a nonstop learning process. The hell of it is that unless you pass along the lessons that you've learned, or we may lose much of civilization itself. Considering all the sweeping changes that you've seen in your lifetime, and that you enjoy finding new ways to express yourself, you need to get your hands on a copy of "How

to Write and Sell Your Personal Experiences" by Lois Duncan. Knowledge is your greatest power. Part of your job is to speak the unspeakable. Make candor your thing.

TIPS: Reorganization is the permanent condition of a vigorous mind. It is extremely important that you exert more conscious willpower over your own thoughts and speech.

Find new outlets for your strongest opinions. When you get into therapy or analysis, a good place to start would be the neighbors.

CLEANSING CHALLENGES YOUR REALITY

NEEDS DELIBERATE STYLE

You are capable of maintaining a great masquerade. In lieu of struggling to control others, work to control yourself. Instead of stealthing yourself against others, strive to plummet the depths of your own soul.

Use or lose your life and death powers.

There is a public side to your control issues. Your parents exerted some heavy influence upon your character formation. Your career may feature behind the scenes action. You could make an excellent producer.
