COMPOSITE PLUTO IN LIBRA

Pluto in the composite Seventh House or Libra correlates to a couple who has a mutual desire within the most recent of prior lifetimes to learn how to be in a relationship in which the principle of equality is actualized in every aspect of their relationship. This will include role equality and interchangeability, and equal levels of giving and receiving. Within these intentions, they have had a mutual desire to learn the nature of the projection of their inner needs onto each other, to learn the nature of their expectations of a real and unrealistic nature, to learn when to give and not to give, and to learn about the nature of emotional dependencies which can lead to psychological enmeshment. These lessons have occurred within the most recent of prior lifetimes together as a reaction to earlier lifetimes in which the relationship between the couple was severely out of balance in the ways described above. Since then, they have been working very hard on counteracting the extremity of imbalance. With composite Pluto in the Seventh House or Libra, there is an ongoing need and desire to actualize the archetype of equality and balance.

This will be more pronounced in some couples than in others. Some couples will still be in a situation wherein one partner attempts to dominate the relationship through a test of wills. This type will be highly insecure and, as a result, will attempt to overpower the partner through strength of will in order to feel secure. In essence, this type of partner must manipulate and control the other in order to feel secure, and will expect that the relationship is meant to serve his or her needs. When these needs are not met in the ways that are deemed appropriate and necessary, such a partner will project all kinds of subjective judgments, conclusions, and motivational intentions onto the other person. The other person, in turn, may do exactly the same thing. This then leads to compulsive ongoing power struggles linked with a test of wills over who will prevail. În other cases the partner of such a person, acting out of fear, may simply recoil and psychologically withdraw, while trying to fulfill the demands of the dictatorial partner as best they can. When these are the dynamics that define the relationship, it obviously means that they have not evolved very far toward the actualization of the intentions reflected in this archetype. Sustained work toward these intentions must continue to occur. Such couples are amazingly dependent on one another even though they continue to fight and struggle. They reflect a psychological enmeshment even when they seem totally polarized, though it may not be apparent to the observer. This is the classic psychological paradox and dilemma of the "can't live with you, can't live without you" syndrome. This binding force exists because each of them has promised the other at some point in their evolutionary journey to work toward the archetypal intentions of equality and balance symbolized by Pluto in the composite Seventh House or Libra.

In other cases, the couple will exhibit the opposite dynamics. This will be a couple in which each partner has been trying to learn that each one's needs and desires are no more or less important than the other's. In order to develop this awareness, they have learned to listen to one another in such a way as to actually hear what the other is saying as it is meant and intended, versus hearing the other through the subjective filter of their own reality. Such a couple has desired to truly work on their relationship to go the extra mile. As a result, this couple will be very strong together, and they will simply know without question or doubt that they are “meant" to be together. Through this evolved ability to listen to one another, they have learned about the nature of one another's desires and needs as individuals. Thus, they have been learning about the nature of one another's expectations, and the reasons for those expectations. Because learning to give to one another is a primary focus within the relationship, they have come to rely and depend on one another. Through giving, they have learned that their own individual needs are met. When both give, mutual fulfillment becomes the natural consequence. Because of all of these recent developments in their evolutionary journey together, they have become co-dependent. In varying degrees of intensity, this co- dependency has produced psychological enmeshment.

For a couple in the Consensus state, the degree of evolution toward the archetypal intent of Pluto in the composite Seventh House or Libra will determine the reality that actually exists for the couple. In the case of a couple with one very dominant and one very submissive partner, the dominant partner will create “emotional scenes" out of thin air. This partner, in reality, does not desire to sustain the relationship dynamics in this way even though it will appear so from a behavioral point of view. The reason for creating the confrontations and emotional scenes is that such a partner is trying to elicit a confrontational response from the docile partner who has become afraid to do anything except scurry around fulfilling unending demands. In effect, the dominant partner desires to be confronted and challenged so the intentions reflected in this evolutionary condition can be realized. Usually, such a relationship appears to be quite "normal" to the outside world. No one would suspect the power dynamics that are actually occurring within the home.

A couple in which both partners are equally confronting one another through a mutual assertion of will and are equally projecting their judgments concerning one another's motives and intentions has moved further along in the development of the archetypal intentions reflected in Pluto in the composite Seventh House or Libra. They will be leading a normal life as defined by the consensus society. The dynamic of love/hate will be intense. At key points in time, everyone in their immediate neighborhood will know exactly what is going on within their home-the intensity of the pitched battles and confrontational arguments will be heard by all. The mutual "triggering" of one another is instrumental in their mutual desire to move more completely toward the full actualization of their intentions.

A couple who has finally arrived at the full actualization of the intentions symbolized with Pluto in the composite Seventh House or Libra will also appear to be quite normal, according to the consensus. Yet what will set them apart, even within that framework, is that their relationship will be balanced in every way. They will appear as more or less “one person," even though there are two physical bodies to look at. Their wills have become harmonized, and they are working together toward life goals and objectives that are the same. A vibration of love will permeate their togetherness.

Sexually, the couple with very dominant and one very docile partner will manifest the dynamic of sex as power. The dominant partner will be invested in creating an intense response from the docile partner in order to validate an insecure ego. The only "equality" that the dominant partner is interested in is producing an equally intense orgasm in the partner. For the couple who equally confronts one another in a test of wills, the sexual dynamics are based in power also. Both will reflect a sexual assertiveness, and need to be in sexual control. This can produce a sexual “wrestling match," so to speak, to see who will end up on top. Using sex as a form of emotional control or renewal can also occur-withholding sex, or using sex as a way to "repair" the relationship. The couple who has actualized the real intention in this archetype will relate in total equality. Their sexual dynamics will be based on mutual love, caring, and giving. Role equality and reciprocity will be the hallmark of their sexual union. A harmonization of sexual energy can create a sexual oneness between them.

In the Individuated state, this placement will correlate to a couple that has had a mutual desire to rebel against the traditional roles of gender assignments within relationship as defined by consensus society. There is an active desire to merge the inner female and male within each of them-to arrive at a state of inner gender balance as individuals, and thus within the relationship. Confrontations have occurred and will continue to occur with respect to their individual differences. This happens because each has been psychologically enmeshed in a state of excessive proximity and dependency during the last few lifetimes together, and that which is perceived to be "too different" ignites a fear of loss or separation.

There is an abiding love for one another at a Soul level, yet the personal differences can create states of psychological and emotional withdrawal or polarization. This can occur when one or the other feels that their needs are not being met. Conditional giving can result. Alternating between cycles of deep love and happiness when the mutually projected needs of each are met, and cycles of polarization when they are not, will produce deep psychological discussions with one another. Self-knowledge is gained through such discussions regarding the nature of one another's expectations. Focusing on the nature of expectations allows each to become aware of the inner needs that are the basis of these expectations. Sometimes these discussions will be very productive, and sometimes they can degenerate into who is right, and who is wrong. The tendency to project judgments on another's intentions, motivations, and emotional agendas creates this effect.

Over time, this couple will learn to listen to the other in objective ways. As this occurs, each will finally feel like they are being understood. This evolution will take place in the Individuated condition because both partners desire to understand their individual lives, and thus the relationship, in a deeper and larger context than that of their existing society (as would be the case with a couple in the Consensus state). This larger context will be of a cosmological, metaphysical, or purely psychological nature. This larger context thus allows for a very different perspective relative to the nature of their interpersonal dynamics, and a deeper understanding of the dynamics and issues that exist between them.

Sexually, a couple in the Individuated state will desire role equality, wherein each can act out the male and female principles interchangeably. There will be a mutual desire to explore ways of being sexual that are independent of the existing social conventions. Creating sexual atmospheres in which their specific sexual desires can be acted out is a strong need. Both will be orientated to sexually giving to the other, resulting in a harmonization of sexual energy that then promotes a unity of sexual rhythm and response. Sex can also be used to heal hurt feelings produced through arguments and confrontations.

In the Spiritual state, this placement will correlate to a couple that has had a mutual desire to develop and actualize their spiritual desires and needs through the archetype of relationship. There are two primary ways to actualize from a patriarchal point of view-the path of the monastic, and the path of the householder. Evolving in the latter way, this couple has learned to rely on each other for spiritual support, nourishment, and perspectives as they have tried to balance their inner relationship with Ġod, and the relationship they have with one another. "What does God want from me, what do you need from me, and what do I need from myself?" have been the three primary dynamics that each of them have been trying to understand, and to keep in a state of balance. In the earlier stages of this evolutionary state, this can be quite a struggle. The challenge and lesson in this condition is to understand that the balance point is ever-shifting, and not consistent or predictable. Thus, they need to orient to the immediacy of what is needed-my partner or child needs me right now, I need to put more energy towards God right now, or I need to put more energy into other needs that I have right now. Responding in this way thus allows for continual balance.

The couple in this condition desires to know the karmic or spiritual reasons for their relationship, and together they will embrace a spiritual value system that correlates to their sense of life's meaning. Their spiritual value system will create the basis of how they relate to themselves and the relationship. The principle of giving to one another specifically, and to others generally, will be highly emphasized and developed between them. Ă harmonization of will reflected in their spiritual merging of Souls will create a sense of being “twins." They have an awareness of one another at all times because their vibrational natures are highly attuned to one another. They hear each other even when no words are being spoken. There is a natural deference to one another. Equality of role and gender has been attained. Each is equally important or non-important as the other. At the highest level in this condition, the couple will serve as examples to others of what a true spiritual marriage is: just as the ancient Indian god and goddess Ram and Sita did.

Sexually, there will be a total harmonization of ego, will, and Soul that allows a merging of these energies to take place. Merging their energy in this way will allow for the inner Divinity in each to be experienced. Slow, gentle, and progressively deep sexual movements will take place. Sustained eye contact will occur. The sensual enjoyment of God is experienced through one another. Touching, holding, and massage is very important and necessary.

POLARITY POINT IN ARIES

The evolutionary purpose of this placement is for the couple to continue to work toward a state of absolute equality wherein each partner's individual reality, desires, and needs are met in a state of perfect balance. Until this is realized, it will be necessary for such a couple to learn how to break free from their co-dependency. For this to occur, it is essential that each learn to create a life and reality for themselves that is independent of the relationship, yet exists within it. Each partner must encourage this development in each, and learn to not feel threatened when it occurs. If it cannot occur, if one or both partners thwarts or blocks this necessary development, necessary separations or termination of the relationship will or may be necessary. The paradox here is that the more each partner feels free to act on what each needs for their own individual development, the more each will desire to maintain the relationship.

This Pluto Libra excerpt seems to be why the “twin flames phenomena” took off in this last decade. Could have been promoted online by individuals born in 1971-1984 having reached their adult life, facing their Libra conflict and paradigm. The similarity between this placement and twin flame literature or guidance does not seem like mere coincidence.

Apparently also Plato talked about a very similar concept.
