Pluto is the planet of transformation and change. It represents
an intense concentration of psychological and emotional energy that
manifests through obsessions, compulsions, unconscious drives and
passions that must be transformed and alchemized into healthy, conscious
expression in order to be useful and potent. Often representing
an initial wounding experience, Pluto reflects buried potential,
that is, qualities of being that have been hidden or distorted by
fear, threats or emotional insult. It therefore symbolizes a healing
center where we must work on soul retrieval.
As we retrieve our genuine soul qualities and transform
fixed addictive obsessions and fears into conscious awareness, we
awaken personal clarity regarding our lifes mission and destiny.
In this manner, Pluto represents our quest for purpose and meaning
and, by house and sign, symbolizes psychological habits that must
undergo profound change creating the possibility for the great Phoenix
of conscious awareness to rise up through the ashes of our terror.
If we fail to tap into the genuine path of truth that Pluto requires
of us, we fall prey to the shadow of Pluto: personal
nihilism, our capacity to manipulate others, a sense of purposelessness
about our life, or a hunger for or abuse of power that is not ours
to wield. A successful Plutonian navigation will take us on an intense
journey from death to rebirth where we will battle many of the fanged
psychological entities that inhabit and stifle our souls expression,
and when conquered and destroyed, leave us with the personal power
our Soul would approve of. It is in this manner that Plutonian obsession
is satisfied.
