Pluto in the Houses of the Natal ChartThe following are interpretations of Pluto in the different houses of the natal chart. Alternate interpretations are offered for each house position of Pluto.
Pluto in 1st House
*You are an intense person, inclined to be wholeheartedly and passionately involved in whatever your current interest is. You easily go to extremes and you make more moderate, easy-going souls feel uncomfortable.
You may have unusual charisma and also be profoundly influenced by powerful, charismatic figures whom you model yourself after. Learning to use personal power appropriately is an issue for you. Negatively, you can be manipulative and obsessed with personal aggrandizement. Positively, you can be a potent force for change, growth, and healing in the world.
#Your personality often initiates changes along your spiritual path. Thus it is important for you to consider how you appear to others, as their response is a key to understanding the transitions in your life. For example, if other people become agitated or angry each time you make a change, you may be coming on too strong for the situation, or at least too strong for those individuals. On the other hand, if your intervention brings calm to difficult situations, you can figure that you are showing compassion while also handling the situation itself.
^Pluto's energy in your 1st House brings power issues into your life at an early age. Whether you were involved in a family situation which was somewhat overwhelming or if you had experiences which lead to feelings of abandonment, you've probably learned to distrust others and may even distrust yourself. You are actually quite aware of what is happening beneath the surface, but you may not let many people know that you have this awareness. A sensitive person will be able to tell, and may even support your awareness, unless they have something to hide. To truly express your personal power, you may first have to do some work within yourself addressing your issues which stem from guilt, shame or disappointment. If you allow these negative feelings to hang on, they undermine your power and confidence. But once you've released yourself, the healing process itself empowers you to make changes which can be awe-inspiring. You need to feel that you have control over your own life, and that there is no one who can take that power from you, but first you have to convince yourself that this is true through examining your motivations and desires. If these stem from hopeful, healing feelings, there may be little that can stop you from creating transformation and regeneration within yourself and the world around you.
Pluto in 2nd House
*You are likely to have a fixation on money, wealth, and material resources. You may totally renounce material desires and ownership, or become obsessed with having, owning, and accumulating. Your attitudes towards owning, keeping, and sharing will undergo major changes in your lifetime, and your fortunes are likely to run very hot or very cold.
#Issues of self-esteem may push you toward transformations in your life. Material success can lift you out of material poverty, and it may improve your sense of self-worth, but it is your understanding of the flow of spiritual energy that has the biggest impact on your spiritual development in the long run.
^Pluto's energy in your 2nd House brings control issues into the realm of personal finances. It is here that you may experience great challenges, and you may have some extreme experiences learning about the real nature of money and materiality. You can attract resources through working in fields which involve transformation, healing and renovation, and may revitalize your own worth by allowing your needs to be in charge of your own money. You can share but may not want to share everything. That's okay, as long as you're honest about it!
Pluto in 3rd House
*You have a probing, penetrating mind and are highly analytical and critical in your thinking. Work that involves research, investigating mysteries or hidden causes, or deep study and analysis suits you very well.
You are also a convincing speaker, bringing others around to your own point of view by the intensity of your convictions.
#Your concern for siblings and peers is a strong force for spiritual change. You may be strongly influenced by what they say and do, and through experience you learn how your will power engages in the exchange. Thus you find that by watching and listening, you learn how other people use their power. Then you can exert your own will more consistently and compassionately.
^The power of your thoughts determines your experience of life. Pluto's energy in your 3rd House prompts you to transform your thinking. You must learn to trust your own intelligence, and to develop your mind in such a way that will allow you to experience an understanding of life at core levels. You ask questions, although many are never verbalized. They just drive you, like a relentless taskmaster, to look beneath the surface. You can be overcome by compulsive thought patterns, and when you do, you can find it difficult to release yourself from them. These compulsions can be a power drain, especially if they reach the obsessive level. Take the time to listen to your own thoughts. Do they offer self-confirming messages or destructive mutterings? Once you find a way to use your mind to heal your life, you will know the power you've been seeking.
Pluto in 4th House
*There was much that was hidden or secret in your childhood home, and you absorbed a sense of shame or a feeling that you need to hide and protect who you are from others. One of your parents had an especially intense bond to you and profoundly influenced you, perhaps dominated or controlled you in subtle ways. Unlocking the secrets of the past, and learning to be intimate and close to others without controlling or being controlled are issues for you.
#Change comes from deep within your being. The inner voice guides you - and not always in calm, quiet ways. You tend to act only when you are certain that you can - or must. Thus you sometimes have stored up enough energy to explode like a volcano. To be more compassionate, both to yourself and toward others, you gradually learn to exert your will sooner so that you no longer explode out of control. Power issues in childhood caused you to develop some strange, possibly conflicting core beliefs. As you gain personal strength, you are able to challenge these ideas and resolve them to suit your own needs and desire for transformation.
^You learned about power from your parents and may have felt that one parent had a very strong hold on your life. They still may. But all the while, you may have found yourself resisting their control, or trying to undermine it. You tested limits. You knew just how far to push without getting the rug pulled from beneath your feet. Or did you? Now that you have grown to be a woman, you may have difficulty feeling that your foundation is ever stable enough. You know deep within yourself that you needed to destroy the unfitting or unfair images you had of your family, their traditions or their false identities. You may also feel some guilt that you cannot fully identify. This is the guilt your soul recalls. It may not be entirely your own. It may be something you felt as early as the time you spend in your mother's womb. It might be something from another lifetime that you remember at a cellular level, a feeling that haunts you when you are alone. Let it go. Find yourself. Step into your power and allow yourself to be healed. Then, and only then, will you finally feel that you've found home.
Pluto in 5th House
*You have very strong creative forces and whatever you do, you want to do to the fullest. In love and romance, you get totally, passionately, even obsessively involved. In other forms of creative release and self-expression, also, you are very driven and you have a deep need to prove yourself. Your desire for personal recognition is compelling, and if you do not achieve creative success, you may try to force your children to fulfill your dreams for you.
#You find the appropriate mechanism for change by engaging wholeheartedly in creative efforts. When you do this, the act itself impels you toward transformation. Others may see changes in you before you are fully aware of them yourself.
^Your creative efforts are an important element in your life. Pluto's energy in your 5th House drive you to reach into your soul and find your creative spirit. Then, you must trust yourself enough to exercise this creativity. It heals you. It is the key to creating life on your own terms. You may also discover that your approach to children is a key factor in your own self respect. When you can look at a child and see the wonder, feel the hope and desire to be a catalyst for his or her own creativity without trying to shape him or her into the image you want them to be, you're allowing this force to work positively. But if you see your children as little pieces of clay you can mold however you wish, you may be sorely disappointed when they destroy your creation when they reach adolescence or adulthood. Perhaps this struggle results from your own childhood experience. You've heard about the inner child? Well your little girl has always been powerful, but she may not know what to do with that power. It's up to you to show her.
Pluto in 6th House
*You can become obsessed with your health, self-improvement and personal development. The psychological elements of disease interest you, and you may endlessly psychoanalyze yourself and others.
Also, you may work compulsively and exhaust yourself through overwork. You can be a tyrant with co-workers, and it may be easier for you to work in solitude.
#When you are busiest, you are also the most capable of transformation. Serving others opens you to spiritual development, and working for yourself positions you on a progressive path. Both are essential to effect positive change in your life. You develop the capacity for change by using your will to push through difficult situations in the work environment, or health problems.
^Pluto's energy in your 6th House prompts you to unlock the power you have to alter and transform your own life through self-improvement. The quality of your life depends upon the way you handle experiences which may seem to be beyond your control, like your genetic heritage, or an illness, or the society within which you live. Taking care of your health through finding the root of real healing power in your life is one of the most crucial factors you must face. Completely surrendering control of your life to the will and direction of others will leave you feeling disconnected to yourself. You can find the right healers, helpers and supporters, but first you must acknowledge the part you play in these processes.
Pluto in 7th House
*Emotional intensity, compulsive attraction, and a sense of fate or destiny characterize your one-to-one relationships. It's as if you simply cannot have light, superficial relationships; they are inevitably profound, intense experiences which reveal your depths to you. You may be drawn to powerful, charismatic, willful people that challenge, thwart, and ultimately evoke your own power and strengths. Your marriage is likely to be the arena for your greatest growth.
#Your keen awareness of others is integral to how you make changes. When you focus on yourself, you can get stuck, but when you focus on significant people in your life, your energy flows more smoothly. You find the juice of compassion in the exchange of energy with others. Then you handle changes with greater equanimity.
^Pluto's energy in your 7th House brings direct power struggles within cooperative relationships and partnerships. You may resist the idea of a functional partnership because you do not want to give up control. Or you may attract a partner who overwhelms you with his power when you do not trust your own ability to direct your life. You cannot escape power issues. One way or another, you must realize that you really do have the power to direct your own life and to reflect your power in a positive sense. Until you finally exercise that power, you can be caught in an endless game of transforming yourself to fit your partner's needs or finding that you are never what you want to be. Try looking in the mirror. The woman looking back at you is important.
Pluto in 8th House
*You are a person of great depth and have a deep interest in the hidden or darker side of life. Issues and experiences others shun, you are drawn to and compelled to examine. The use and misuse of personal, social, and political power intrigues you. Death is also an area you are fascinated with and may explore in depth. You may have many experiences in which you are forced to burn your bridges and start over again.
#One change begets another in your life. You see transformation as a way of life, not an isolated event. Often you feel changes coming long before any outward signs are visible. You dwell in the underworld of the mind. Without training you are susceptible to the energies of people around you, and you fall under their spells easily. With training you can cast your own spells, and certainly you can use your power to protect yourself. You have tremendous endurance - your ability to keep going means that you can chart a spiritual path and make definite progress. You tend to be around when traumatic events happen to other people, and you may have your own share of difficulties. These experiences place you in the ideal spot to help others, as you know how they feel and you know just how to lift their spirits.
^Pluto's energy in your 8th House does not necessarily attract excessive power struggles with your partner, but you certainly will be alert to that possibility! You may have a very keen sense concerning your own sexuality, and exploring the depths of your sexual needs can allow your power to emerge more fully. In financial matters, whether or not there are problems largely depends upon your ability to be honest with yourself and your partner about what you need and expect in this arena. You can be an excellent money manager, and with a partner whose vision and values support your own, can create a strong power base. But if you feel threatened by your partner or the way he uses his resources, you're probably better off completely extracting your resources from his until you are clear about your mutual goals.
Pluto in 9th House
*You have strong philosophical views and there are times in your life when you passionately crusade for a cause that you deem noble and of utmost importance. Although your intentions are good, you are not as objective as you think you are, and your views are more colored by personal experiences and concerns than you realize. Nevertheless, you can also be instrumental in bringing about positive change if you can avoid being dogmatic. Also, you may radically change or revise your own personal beliefs, even your most cherished convictions, many times during your life.
#As you pursue your transcendent values, you will find that death has no hold on you. You take the shaman's path by going through the darkness. You may feel that you have succumbed to sexual seduction in the past, but don't beat yourself up over that. Sexual energy is a source of powerful devotion and motivation. As you gain understanding of the values that matter most to you, you will find that ecstasy, while beginning in a sexual expression, actually reaches spiritual heights that erase the barriers of the body. As a shaman you are able to lift others out of their physical death experiences into the healing light you understand as Spirit. You sense the power of transcendence in yourself and others. You move from learning about transformation within yourself to healing and helping others who must experience rapid, dramatic changes.
^You learn about power through your spiritual and religious teaching with Pluto in the 9th House. Your need to connect to the Power of the Universal Mind is behind many of your deepest aspirations. You will be dissatisfied if you give your spiritual power to another human being. It belongs to you and to the direction of the Teacher within your higher consciousness. But it's tempting to hold onto religious ideals with a fervent dedication which is almost impossible to release. By separating your emotional attachment to your beliefs from the truth of your spiritual awareness, you will become empowered at the highest level.
Pluto in 10th House
*You have a powerful sense of destiny and may be unusually, even ruthlessly, ambitious. There is a very driven, compulsive quality to the way you pursue your career or other important life goals, which is likely to win you both staunch admirers and vigorous opponents.
There is a very "radical" side to you, and you may want to remake or change the world in some significant way. Depending on other astrological factors in your chart and your own decisions, you can be either very destructive or a powerful force for healing and positive change in the world.
#Change begins for you when you first feel the tug of ambition - you want something more or better. As you deal with transformation, your goal-oriented behavior becomes spiritual aspiration rather than simple material seeking.
^With Pluto in your 10th House achieving a sense of power can definitely be among your ambitions. This can be a highly creative position for Pluto, since exercising your ability to bring about transformational change and healing through your career path can be quite a challenge. Even if you decide not to follow a career path, you can still be a powerful force in your family and may even play an influential matriarchal role as you mature. However, you're likely to run into power issues with others too, since as you become more adept at moving through the chain of command your presence and strength can attract power struggles with others. This is not the only option, since you may also find that you enjoy rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers. After all, that's where you belong! But before you can achieve the levels of success you deeply desire, you may have to address buried resentments, guilt or shame which have their origins in your past. In essence, you can become a vessel for regeneration and healing, and your own wounds may be the keys to your power to influence change in the lives of others.
Pluto in 11th House
*You may have a deep aversion to groups, associations, clubs, or organizations of any kind. Any such group you become involved in is likely to be either for intense personal growth, change, and healing, or centered around social change and revising society in some manner.
#Circumstances impel you to change, ready or not. Sometimes you feel you must listen to a lot of other people's dreams and follow them. It is important to weigh their urgings against the inner voice of your own desire.
^With Pluto in your 11th House, you may meet many of your power issues within the social sphere, particularly around special interest groups or when dealing with political processes. You're not the women who enjoys sitting on the sidelines if you're part of a group, especially if something could be done more effectively. If you have not developed a strong sense of your own ideals and beliefs you can fall under the influence of others who would usurp your power in order to boost their own. But once you've awakened to your own ideals, drives and directives, you can be a highly influential leader and instigator of social change. The extent of your efforts depends upon you and the choices you make for yourself.
Pluto in 12th House
*You have a deep interest in secrets, the underworld or unconscious, and anything hidden and mysterious. Psychoanalysis, investigating your dreams, and other methods of uncovering secrets are very interesting to you. You may be exceptionally perceptive intuitively or psychically. Your emotions and subconscious energies are complex, and periodic transformations and personal crises are sprinkled liberally throughout your lifetime.
#Death has played a large part in creating doubt about your abilities. Use private time to examine your present knowledge and skills, and you may find that confidence replaces doubt. You need the quiet moments to build your power.
^Since you have Pluto in your 12th House you may be tempted to repress your emotions, particularly those which have to do with those deep needs which spring from the shadowy side of yourself. You may even have problems with depression or addictive behaviors which create a kind of emotional trap until you learn to delve into the depths of your being and clean out the ghosts and dragons from your past which still haunt your dreams. Old resentments can also act like a potion which poisons your imagination and undermines your ability to trust your inner self. Once you've conquered your own demons, you may feel driven to help others confront their own, and can become an extremely effective healer.
