Question: Why is there such a high rate of paranoia in those whose horoscopes reflect prominent aspects of Pluto but not other planets? My personal experience has led me to equate being paranoid with the anxiety and fear that accompany Pluto, and I believe that it encourages the mind to wander into shadowy realms where it imagines the worst that could happen. It has a relationship to the normal Pluto-related themes of mistrust and suspicion, as well as the thought…...
Pluto transits in your chart spend years helping you realign your priorities to build a life focused on doing what you love. Yet you are sleepwalking through your days, senses dulled, spending much of your time paying more attention to celebrities, advertising and social media than to the exploration of your own deep life, in all its rich potential. You get addicted. Not necessarily to heroin or vodka, but to everyday innocuous activities that attract no alarm or suspicion. You…...
Question: What does it mean to have an outer planet conjunct one of the angles of the chart? Whether we think of the energy Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto symbolize a cosmic’ or collective in the Jungian sense – as a shared pool of psychic imagery from which all humanity draws – these planets are unquestionably profound when they are strongly placed in a chart, ether close to the angles – 1, 4, 7, or 10 or configured with the Sun…...
Question: I seem to be losing weight quite quickly recently. For a few years, I’ve always remained around 12 and a half stone, now I’m under 11 stone, and I seem to still be losing weight. Are there typical transits responsible for this kind of thing? Here is when you love Saturn and Pluto transits, especially when you want to achieve a goal or become more disciplined or get into the best shape of your life and have a drastic…...
Question: I have very significant Pluto aspects in my natal chart. I was abused as a child. I’ve found it hard being at university around young people who are able to be naive and innocent about life, I feel a strong sense of loss of my innocence…of my childhood. As a Pluto type, I’m aware of being sad when I see children starving, beaten, hurt. It’s part of our world. On the other hand, I know this planet gave me…...
Question: I am a Plutonian with many personal planets in aspect to the planet Pluto. I tend to experience bad luck dealing with people and relationships and often in a very intense way. Either I stay away for some years to come back or stay completely gone. Or I will experience victim situations where injustice happens, for example, at work, or through what someone says, or other people’s actions. This basic Plutonian contract seems to say: “You go to the…...
At Brown University, in response to protests over a debate about rape culture, the school set up a “safe place” filled with cookies, colouring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets, and a video of frolicking puppies for anyone who might find the comments at the debate “triggering” or the debate itself too upsetting to attend. WTF? Pluto is, albeit, my favorite planet to discuss. I am also a fan of true crime and could watch it all day (even…...
Some time ago, I felt a Spark disappearing from somewhere deep inside my body; it was as if the light had been extinguished. It happened as a result of far too many instances of being severely disappointed by people and mankind. It all coincided with the transits and progressions of the 8th house and Pluto that were taking place in my chart. When Pluto energy is present, you may have a sense of psychic deadness; but, for some, this sensation does…...
Question: My mother was basically good, but she wasn’t cut out to have children. She was very controlling, extremely cruel, and didn’t respect my emotional boundaries. I’m worried that I will repeat this cycle when I take on the Moon’s role (Mother) and that it will bring out my dark side (Pluto). Any thoughts? Moon-Pluto certainly has a very complex relationship with their mother. They may have experienced a good and loving mother (Moon) but their childhood was punctuated with…...
