I have natal Pluto in House 12 (in Libra) and for a long time, I was very frustrated with its overall suckiness. For so long, I have had virtually no real power in any group, organization, workplace or social setting, no matter how much I contributed, how qualified I was, how much others seemed to like and appreciate my presence. It's my Jupiter in Leo in House 9—it wants recognition and is ****** it almost never gets any.But just lately, I've had a number of experiences typical of Pluto in H12 natives that make me think what I've read about its advantages are true: I may not have any real power, but I have a kind of true power, which is the best kind, the kind that must never be misued (and what kind of a sick ******* would want to misuse it anyway)? There's no role "greater" than being the supportive, behind-the-scenes friend who becomes the first stranger a young gay man comes out to in public, or the first person a woman tells about her joyfully-conceived new pregnancy. That is awesome. These aren't the sort of achievements anyone gets recognition for, because it wouldn't be appropriate for them to be recognized, but they're there. I don't think I would trade Pluto in H12 for any other Pluto I could have. ------------------

wild ~I too love my Pluto in XII and would never trade it for another placement 
As for the “true power” angle, I see the distinction you’ve made – I have an example from my work that’s in agreement with your experience…..
I’ve worked for this company for 13 years now, started at the bottom. When they upgraded computer systems, I found myself in a position of being able to basically create my own job description. I’m the software trainer and people come to me with their questions and problems. Even though I don’t make particularly good money, I’ve become the GoTo Person for most of the people in the company, and I have to make decisions for different departments about what they should do (which makes my Libra Sun just wriggle with delight  ). If I had a “true power” management position, I would have the same amount of authority as I do now, but more responsibility – and I’d rather not take my job home with me every night like the company officers do. I like working undercover, behind the scenes  Something I read a long time ago that really resonated about H12 Pluto is that the natives have an unsurpassed facility for bouncing back from enormously life-altering circumstances – and I can testify to the validity of that  IP: Logged |

Then it just means you aren't ever promoted or recognized outside the company - you are just used around because they don't bother with technical details and you do. quote:

It's good that you are making yourself useful but oh, you wouldn't dare misuse power for you will go to hell when you die and be reborn in a worse state than you are now. quote:
