11b. Pluto in the Houses.
Pluto's house is where we must eliminate and transform an old and obsessive habit and make a brand-new beginning.
Pluto in 1. Pluto gives a steely will and people with this combination are often leaders in their field. But in most, the approach to life needs transforming so this power is not misused - there is a need to be less controlling and obsessive, more flexible and detached. On a personal level, when spiritual-will (the command of power for the higher good) has been developed, those with this combination can become leaders with the power to beneficially change the lives of others.
Pluto in 2. Entrenched materialistic attitudes and values must be eliminated, which means speculation can be risky - there could be mega-gains or huge losses. The wisest use of this force is to be minimal when acquiring possessions and to transform one's personal values so there is balance regarding money and possessions. This will bring good karma and prosperity.
Pluto in 3. With this combination, thoughts and words will have a powerful effect for good or ill. Consequently, if a serious matter arises, we must be especially careful that what is said is the truth and that it is being presented in the kindest way possible. Otherwise, there could be serious repercussions. The goal is to be assertive but also harmless in thought and speech. This does not mean being silent if something has to be said. If the local neighbourhood, siblings or other relatives are abusive or dangerous, drastic action should be taken to right things. This may mean cutting that toxicity away and/or moving to a radically new location.
Pluto in 4. Pluto located in the family home needs to be handled with extreme care. Family dynamics could be manipulative and there could be a very toxic family pattern or person that needs to be cut out of the life. Abuse should be reported to authorities and family ties severed if necessary. Sometimes a parent may not be around so those left behind are vulnerable to exploitation or abuse. Positively, those with this combination are given the inner strength to transform their “roots” and to build a new and healthy family environment.
Pluto in 5. The placement is a double-edged sword. On one hand it gives the power to create incredibly gifted children or works of art that can transform people's lives. On the other, it can highlight a tendency to be intensely obsessive with children or lovers, or the reverse situation where we become the target of fixation. If we act circumspectly and set healthy boundaries in these relationships, they can be transformed into something incredible. Sometimes, for karmic reasons, we may be denied having children.
Pluto in 6. There will be disruptions in the working life. This could be because the place of employment goes bankrupt, because we no longer want to put up with a toxic work environment or because of a serious health condition. This will provide the opportunity to assess what we have been doing and go in a radically new direction and find work that we are better suited to. At a higher level, it gives the power to heal and transform and if these skills are developed it can lead to a very rewarding career.
Pluto in 7. This intensifies the desire to have a deep and intense relationship with someone. But care must be taken it does not verge into an obsession or into manipulation and control - either being the controlling one, or being controlled. If so, such a union could become dangerous. Either way, the way we relate in marriage and other formal partnerships will transform because of cathartic experiences that occur. Balance is required. and healthy boundaries should be established in close one-on-one relationships. The power to heal deep psychological wounds that occur as a consequence of rejection is given with this placement.
Pluto in 8. Pluto, the planet of transformation, in the eighth house of transformation, indicates that there are deep emotional issues or sexual habits that need healing or transmuted. We need to be assertive but also discerning in the way vital energies and power are used and act with integrity at all times when handling other people's money - otherwise there could be serious repercussions. Staying away from dangerous people and keeping to the “noble middle path” should be the rule. Positively, there is talent in detection, research, psychology, healing and occult work.
Pluto in 9. Powerful teachers and gurus who radically change the life will be met as we explore the higher teachings for understanding. But it is very important to be discerning and not give one's power to someone who is a crook or charlatan. This is a possibility with this combination. Use the power positively, to transform any obsessive and inflexible beliefs and concepts that limit understanding and wisdom. The potential exists, to be a potent and transformative force for good in the lives of people who are looking for answers to life.
Pluto in 10. Powerful people will be met in the professional life - some good and some who will be abusive; but all will have a transformative effect on the life and on any high goals pursued. Disruptions in the career should be viewed in this light. Change careers if necessary, if a manger or the job itself is dangerous to one's life or reputation, because otherwise the fall-out could be massive. Such experiences can be used to develop confidence, the wise use of power and good managerial skills. The placement potentially indicates a career that transforms the lives of people for the better.
Pluto in 11. Influence from friends and social organisations we belong to, will change the life in profound ways. Because of this, we should ensure that this influence is positive and avoid forming close connections with people who are criminal, dangerous or generally toxic. Such people should be cut out of the life before things go too far. The right friends and groups will have a profound effect for good and by adding our ethical contributions we can help to make the world a better place.
Pluto in 12. If there is abuse going on in private, this must be brought to the attention of authorities or people who can help. Pluto's task is to go deep down and pull poison or evil to the surface, so it can be purged or healed. Even if the fall-out is massive, this must be borne. Healing at a deep root level is required. In turn, one should avoid becoming a secretive manipulator or criminal because the repercussions could result in incarceration. Psychologically, there is a need to transform negative core beliefs buried in the unconscious. Attending to this will release energy for positive use and transform the life in a most incredible way.
