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.

Pluto in Leo

DRAMATIC CLEANSING

DEMONSTRATES TRANSFORMATIONS

NOTE: THIS POSITION CONFERS EXTRA POWER

You're also part of THE ME GENERATION. You're here to find yourself, be yourself and express yourself. The hell of it is that jealousy and power struggles are issues you must squarely face. Jealousy is not necessarily a trait of yours. However, you'll have to deal with the jealousy of your peers and in business.

Your generation can terrorize others with your need for recognition, love and appreciation. When you get into therapy or analysis, a good place to start would be any anxiety and preoccupations with romantic love. Speaking of love and passion, your personality includes a hidden sex animal that is waiting to be uncaged, unleashed and sent on to sexy sports. Be the king or the queen of the jungle. Set the world on fire with your ideas.

TIPS: Develop your talents through analysis and self-actualization. Cultivate inner-authority. Express your convictions.
