Astrology 101 (Pluto)

The planet PLUTO represents the urge for self-mastery and fearlessness in every circumstance; the process of alchemically transforming fear into clear expression in all life situations.

Wherever PLUTO is found in your chart you feel the urge to exert power. If you use power unconsciously, to try and force your own way, you will feel powerless in that area of life as others will resist you. PLUTO invites us to learn the correct use of personal power. To master the challenge and emerge fearless and effective is the test of PLUTO.

Key ideas for PLUTO : Transformation, metamorphosis, power, ruthless, rebirth, endings and new beginnings, drastic change, upheaval, the path of terror, coercion, force, compulsion, obsession, absorption, domination, hidden, the transmutation of dark into light, elimination, regeneration, destruction (of good or evil), certain knowledge of Right Action, indomitable will, mass movements, excavations, depth, aloneness, strength.

The challenge of PLUTO : to expose what is hidden; the process of consciously ceasing to camouflage parts of yourself from others. The challenge is to risk exposing that which you fear, if revealed, would surely mean your psychological death.

The goal of PLUTO : to experience total self-mastery and fearlessness in any situation. This can only happen when you accept the process of passing through your personal terror for the sake of Right Action.
