Let me tell you, Pluto in the 1st house is merciless and not for the faint of heart. It has the power to completely destroy you in order to then rebuild you and this cycle repeats itself until you defy all the odds of fate. I have lived through this cycle many, many times and greatly define myself and my identity through these extremes I've overcome. It's hard for me with this position to show vulnerability but on the other hand I'm very good with people who experienced unjustified suffering because I know all too well what it feels like. I noticed that I polarize strongly. The eccentric, the old, the weak, the disabled, children, or the afflicted like me while other people feel triggered by me and reject me completely. These are often people who have their own not confrontated shadows or people who have things to hide... However, I'm usually friendly to people because I'm so aware of my polarizing effect.
Do I wear a lot of black how often is associated with Pluto? No. I don't need it and I know that I'm already intense enough. I still like a certain aesthetic (sun glasses and rocker style). Having Pluto in the 1st house also means being elusive. I need my alone time and can literally disappear when I've had enough.

It scares me how much I can change and I try to hold on old parts of me for dear life when they get destroyed. And Pluto is pounding with lessons again and again.

Sometimes, I would like to wear all black and color my hair in very dark, but I know I cannot handle this style for long because eventually it would start to bother me whether I’m too intimidating and I would want to bring my Libra face back. So I usually dress dark when I don’t plan to socialize.
I often walk around in hat and sunglasses and don’t like to be recognized. [/B][/QUOTE]

I recognize parts of myself in your description. The thing about Pluto in the 1st house is that it's actually a surviver of trauma and an observer. Pluto is silent but important. Pluto sees everything, but yet at the same time isn't involved in anything. It sometimes feels like watching "normal people" go about their lives - like watching a movie. I'm friendly too because I actually have a friendly and easygoing nature at my core. I think genuine kindness from the heart is a tremendous achievement, because human nature is often the opposite and as a Pluto person in the 1st house, I have experienced several times how thin the blanket of morality and human masks actually can be.

"It scares me how much I can change and I try to hold on old parts of me for dear life when they get destroyed. And Pluto is pounding with lessons again and again".

Absolutely. It still takes me a long time to let something go and accept that. Holding on feels so much safer and the feeling of being powerless scares me. Letting go of old parts and stages of life and making peace inside is one of our greatest lessons. Sometimes I just change small things that don't require a big transformation. For example, I like to experiment with totally different styles and looks.

I also wear sunglasses if I don't want to be recognized. In ancient mythology, Pluto/Hades had a helmet that made him invisible. He could get attention when he wanted and disappear at other times.

I have Venus conjunct the MC by 3 degrees. I agree with the above poster that I find it very hard not to be nice to people. Even nasty ones.

My youngest son has Pluto in his first house and he is a powerhouse. He tries to get his way constantly but my moon is exactly conjunct Pluto and at times its like a battle of the wills. He will not give in so I have to bring him down slowly to a compromise (which rarely ever works). If he can't have it his way, he doesn't want anything at all. I have a deep understanding of this mentality so I'm always trying to show him how he'll end up with nothing with his unwillingness to compromise. I'm very good at standing my ground, you're just going to have to cry all night, it's your own fault for being so stubborn 🤷‍♀️. His moon is in his 2nd house Aquarius so I think it's critical I teach him how to earn what he wants and not just demand it.

This sounds more like Aquarius moon than Pluto to me. I was raised by one and got to know them very well. Being stubborn (and rebellious) is a very nice way to put it. It was at times literally their way or the highway. The Aquarius moon I know was inflexible but expected tolerance from others for her behavior at the same time. I admit that I'm not a fan of this placement.

Pluto in the 1st house also brings certain external features. For example, visually I have strong jawbones, dark hair and eyes that contrast with light skin.
