PLUTO
For lovers of matching names with influences, the planet Pluto is terrifying and attractive or magnetic at the same time, it possesses the characteristics of an underworld god, when we imagine hell with all its torments and eternal pleasures it is Pluto's realm that we are visualizing.
It is a born transformer, formerly a planet, now a planetoid or dwarf planet and in the near future and as it seems we will again change the category, it is located beyond the orbit of the last planet, Neptune and its orbit is different, eccentric as we see below.
Pluto is newsworthy because the spacecraft New Horizons after a journey that began on January 19, 2006, reached its closest approach and is providing precise data about its size which is larger than expected and about its atmosphere.
Astrologically Pluto is related to atomic energy, also with the changes that occur in the telluric bases, it is the natural process that modifies large masses of energy and eventually changes the conditions of the surface, this same applied to the individual and collective psyche is what makes it so fearful at times.
The Plutonian Theurgy is the basis of its assimilation with the darkest and most primary part of the human being, but we often forget that Pluto is accompanied by a sister planet, Ceres, and that the size of both is not very different, therefore their effects can be translated in the same way, on one hand it nourishes and gives wealth of resources and on the other it destroys, their combined effects are a perfect image of those who represent economic and personal power, for example large impersonal capitals or the people who sustain them.
Everything that Pluto touches is subjected and subjects the environment to powers that condition beyond one's own will, we will see Pluto in dissonant aspect in those who are very aware of the ability to modify the natural course of things, it is as if an unscrupulous genie appeared from the lamp to modify life because its laws do not belong to this world.
Pluto conjunct a planet usually gives a special intensity, people with these aspects use all kinds of traumas, external circumstances and internal resources to feed that intensity, thus, for example in conjunction with Mercury, it gives the ability to subjugate everything for a mental idea, which is something that will distinguish him from the rest, in conjunction with Jupiter it can make him feel with the authority to impose his power over others without any hesitation, in conjunction with the Moon it influences the subconscious of the collective family or global according to the set of his natal chart, with Venus, it can make others adopt his tastes and hobbies etc.
The global economic crisis began with the entry of Pluto into the sign of Capricorn, changing the support bases of most of the world, the USA also has Pluto in Capricorn, and it is now opposite its sun, therefore one can expect a desire for transformation on the part of the collective, new and transformative energy sources or the emergence of a leader that will destabilize the foundations of the nation, this latter is very possible.
In Europe we have François Hollande, with Pluto in transit over his natal moon and house IX, and opposite Jupiter in Cancer, this is very relevant in a politician who is directing the destiny of a nation, the moon represents the people, and Pluto can cause very intense emotional moments of French citizens, which can provoke patriotic exaltation beyond reason, (Jupiter in Cancer) and influence many people, also in IX it can transform Hollande's own political ideas to adapt to new circumstances, the changes as it seems come from the outside, and in his case it is evident that from extreme religious ideologies, everything seems very in tune with his natal chart.
Another character currently heavily influenced by Pluto is Putin, the square over Saturn in Libra might seem like a challenge and nothing more, but the opposition to Uranus is much more compromising, because it dominates the fate of a collective, a very numerous one by the way, and one of its adversaries is precisely well represented by Uranus in IV the USA, what is seen in his natal chart is a foreseeable advancement through technology, something like falling behind in terms of infrastructure compared to its competitors, nothing strange considering the embargo his country is currently subject to, this will be the handicap he will have to face in the future and what will condition his politics.
On the other hand in Putin's case, his chart seems to evidence the possibility of political upheavals that can undermine his power. But it is necessary to warn that aspects act and execute, therefore all this burden manifested toward the outside could pose a first-order problem.
