PLUTO is the ruler of sexuality, lust, obsessive desires, and the sex organs. (This overlaps in some ways with Mars, which symbolizes pure physical attraction, but there is a difference.) Pluto is also representative of power; the establishment; and things that enhance or preserce power, such as atomic energyand weapons, politics, great success, big business, corporations, and advertising. Pluto signifies dictatorships and oppression, as well as the state of being oppressive; this leads to Pluto signifying the super ego and undeserved self-esteem. Pluto represents the ingredients of great wealth, such as investments, the banking industry, the loaning of money, the issuance of debt, and the ability to pay it back; as well as most financial instruments, such as bonds and mortgages. It also represents gambling and betting, the trading of financial instruments of all types and profits therefrom. It provides the ability to take advantage of and capitalize on something in order to make a profit. Pluto has dominion over drastic changes that are true upheavals, and in this regard, it represents beginnings and endings. Pluto rules obsessions of all kinds, including emotional and sexual ones. Also, Pluto is ruler of the actual sex act, as opposed to lovemaking and seduction, which are ruled by Venus. Venus seduces you; Pluto simple throws you on the bed and says, “Take off your clothes.” Pluto is, therefore, symbolic of sexism and male chauvinism.

it progressed over my ASC (with venus) into my 12th and now it's opposite my progressed moon in aries... and the ruler of my natal 6th and 7th houses is Aries.

whats funny is that lately, this year has been one of the hardest for me and revolving solely around one issue. sacrificing the love i have for my boyfriend, in order to work and do what i'm supposed to do. (also w/ saturn conjunct my natal moon) i see it a lot, and i used to be so lax about it and then i took a huge hit in the sense of not having the finances i needed, not getting the proper schooling i needed and most of all being miserable because i just couldn't figure out how to balance the two. it seemed like he was against me at times so i was unfaithful and then became confused because i felt no remorse and then back and forth we fought all the time, and it just didnt seem worth it because the fights we had weremainly about not working to go see him, and how i wasn'tpulling my weight and how i serve and help everyone else but the person who's supposed to mean most.

normally i feel like ive got it all figured out but this one one thing i couldn't charm my way out of for once and its a strugglei continue to try and figure out..and it sounds very like face value not deep at all but the situations ive been facing have *really* changed me spiritually, mentally, emotionally, even physically.. (Pluto/Venus EXTREMELY important in my natal chart to being with).

i mean there are a lot of horror stories about Pluto but personally Pluto's one of my favorite planets in astrology..because you really do grow once you done with whatever lesson you're gonna be taught..:-)

I'm not toooo experienced with Astrology but I hope my attempt at helping meant something...if not, I tried

Much love <3
