Pluto was the ruler of the underworld in classical mythology, he is also known as Hades, Pluto represents a more positive concept of the god who presides over the afterlife. He r epresents transformation, the cycle of death and rebirth, destruction and restructuring. While transiting in your chart he be felt subtly at first but then awareness of approaching endings become very apparent. When Pluto shows up he breaks down and creates endings in the places he passes. This could be a person, situation, appliance, car, attitude, relationship, etc. These transformations or endings can be for good or bad depending on where you are in your soul evolvement.
He accompanies the regeneration of those things that no longer serve us.
Pluto does not usually mean a real physical death although if someone is already at that point of departure it is a possibility.
Humans seem to dislike change so you might feel resistance against those little nudges from within about changing a pattern, or for example, a relationship that is no longer satisfying. It's very important to surrender to change, it's inevitable. It is a necessary stage of awareness through which we pass for our greater evolutionary expansion. Resistance wastes time and energy and will only create a messier destructive process. And since Pluto has been in a reverse motion since mid-April it has given all of us the opportunity to review repeated thoughts and yearnings and sift out what really matters, assessing what is for our highest good.
Now that Pluto has moved forward he offers strength and assurance for our actions. It may feel like you're just done and are ready now. The last 5-6 mos. should have given you plenty of time to determine what changes you want. The first thought that comes into your mind as you read this IS probably the area that has been undergoing a shift. Trust your intuition, but if you aren't sure find 11-13 degrees in Capricorn in your birth chart and this is where Pluto he is integrating some deep, earthquake type changes in your life as he advances forward, taking you with him. You can also look to your birth chart to find your Pluto point and that area or house is also part of this transformative equation.
In addition from a soul level perspective, in Pluto, the evolutionary Journey of the Soul*, Jeff Green suggests that Pluto represents our soul's choices for lessons in this life. The location, house, polarity, aspects to it describe these lessons. He says that the houses that the Moon's nodes are posited is where your soul's engagement is most likely to show up.
"Pluto's house and sign placement describe two simultaneous phenomena. On the one hand, the natal position of Pluto describes the generational vibration that a person comes in with, as well as the specific individualized patterns in identity association implied fro the evolutionary past: the desires, beliefs, thoughts, perceptions, values and orientation to reality itself. On the other hand, the natal position of Pluto points to the evolutionary desire, intent, or cause of this life as seen in Pluto's opposite house and sign.
Whether the individual is conscious of this intent or not does not matter because the Soul, not the personality, is the ultimate causal factor, or determining force, behind each life. The lesson will occur in some way through evolutionary necessity. If we are conscious of the intent for this life we can foster it through cooperation and non-resistance. As the life unfolds the inherent patterns of identity association, seen in the natal position of Pluto, will be reborn to a new level of expression described by Pluto's opposite house and sign."
As I stated earlier, we humans tend to resist change and so much so that we can't or won't see the possibilities and wonderful potential of changing. It's easier to stay with a habit. This can keep us stuck and cultivating awareness is difficult.
This is an exercise that can really help gain understanding about your Divine path and the necessary steps to allow a shift to happen.
Listening to the Divine within
- Find a comfortable spot with plenty of time to be undisturbed.
- Create an intention, such as "guide me to my Soul's purpose", "Help me understand what needs to be changed", "Open my heart to what is for my highest good". You can come up with whatever feels right for you.
- Play some soft music if that relaxes you but if not, silence is great.
- Breath in deeply and slowly, allow your eyes to close when you feel like it.
- Bring your attention to your breath, listen to the sound moving in and out of your lungs. Notice your body relaxing with each breath.
- If your mind chatters just pretend you have a box next to you and you place busy thoughts into this box and you will collect them later. Right now you are just relaxing.
- Trust the awareness held in your body is getting closer to you with each breath.
- In your mind begin to find a lovely spot in nature, somewhere you really enjoy. It may be a memory of a special location that made you very happy.
- Go there and relax further. Locate a place to rest and wait. Continue to breath slower and deeper. Take your time and let go.
- This is a very special place for receiving Divine wisdom. It is possible you will meet a spiritual friend who offers information or you may just get a feeling that rings true for you, a knowing in your body. Trust everything you experience as it is what they are communicating. We all receive information differently, whether it's a sensation, thought, emotion, memory or vision go with it. If you believe you are imagining just pretend. The goal or intention is for awareness, it comes in all shapes and sizes. Explore, listen, notice anything that catches your eye as you sit in this place. If you are drawn to move around in this location then do that, your subconscious has more to share.
- When you feel ready to return to the present time, simply take in a couple deep breaths and slowly return to your room. You should feel very relaxed, take your time. Have some paper to write down your experience so you can remember specifics for later reference.
The more often you do this, the more information you will get and as you use the awareness, your inner wisdom will grow. It will get easier to make the connections between your real life choices and soul purpose.
