My Pluto in Libra

Pluto in Libra, in the Third House

Pluto in Gemini (or the third house) gives an acute and penetrating mind. With this placement you have unusually clear and direct communication skills, and you may also be compulsively attached to your speaking and writing ability and to mental pursuits in general. You possess a remarkable facility for seeing into the depths of the circumstances surrounding an event or a communication from another person, and would make a good detective. You also are likely to have a sharp tongue, and can powerfully affect others through your speech. Peer relationships when you were young may have been difficult, affecting current attitudes, so that you may feel that you have to be on guard, or manipulate situations in self-defense. You also enjoy expressing your point of view, and are apt to feel strongly about being correct in what you say, in spite of what others may think. You benefit when you avoid a tendency to be dogmatic or manipulative in your dealings with others. When you have made some movement toward finding a positive expression for your mental energies, you can be a source of inspiration as you use your powers of insight and expression wisely and responsibly, and share your mental gifts for the betterment of society.

Pluto in Libra (or the seventh house) gives you a focus on forming close emotional attachments. You may have difficulties in marriage and partnerships; but there are also great rewards to be gained in this area. You may feel a compulsion to be liked by others. Conversely, you can also become involved in power struggles with partners. You have a depth of passion within you that isn't obvious or recognized, and you may seek to project this power drive onto a relationship partner, rather than directly own up to it. You may therefore find yourself in relationship with dark or manipulative personality types, who may exhibit openly the tendencies you have yourself at a more hidden level. You are likely to go through many changes in your relationship dynamic, as you come to understand more fully your inner process. You may exhibit strong attractions toward close involvement with another person, and simultaneously have fears regarding such attachments. Time and moving through the fires of difficulties may lead you to a painful re-examination of your goals in these areas. Wisdom is required in the handling of close relationships in order to transform the partnership energy into a growing and conscious

act of sharing, and to find your own inner strength independent of others around you.

Neptune in strong sextile with Pluto

The planetary energies flow together, open into new possibilities, new connections.

This combination gives an individual with a personal involvement in the energies of the collective. This is a generational aspect, which many of your contemporaries will share with you. You have a subtle intuition and unusually clear insight into others. The influence of the unconscious is especially strong in you. You need to connect with your higher self in order to be happy. You function at your best in service to the world, helping to move it closer to a vision of spiritual union between all mankind.

Pluto in inconjunct with Midheaven

The planetary energies do not flow smoothly, one or the other predominates; discrimination must be employed.

This combination gives a forceful personality with a strong and difficult focus on issues of authority, power and control. There may in fact be a compulsion for control manifesting in problems with interpersonal relations or in rebellious attitudes toward established authority, or perhaps in the charismatic personal magnetism of the born leader. You tend to seek to be in a position of authority. There are however likely to be problems inherent in maintaining a position of authority, once achieved. What is needed is a reevaluation and transformation of the urge for power and control, based on a deeper understanding of personal power and a more conscious and socially responsible use of it.
