PLUTO IN THE HOUSES Pluto is the planet of transformation. Dr.

Greg Bogart in Astrology and Spiritual Awakening explains, Pluto transforms through catharsis, purgation of outmoded attitudes or behaviors, and the elimination of psychic impurities such as hatred, greed, resentment, or jealousy. Wherever Pluto is placed is a department of life in which there may be a tendency to be compulsive. Pluto is strongest in the first and tenth houses, and it is well placed in the eighth house, which it accidentally rules, and is weakest in the second house. Astrologers do not really know exactly where it is exalted, since we have only studied its influence since 1931. Wherever Pluto is placed, we find the finger of fate. PLUTO IN THE FIRST HOUSE Pluto is strong in the first house. Here, the personality takes on an intense, Scorpio nature. They may have a sense of intuition and guarded behavior. It takes a while to get to know these people. If well aspected, they may prefer to be in charge and are often resourceful and reliable in judgment. Sometimes they make good detectives or researchers. Fate plays a strong role in their lives. If afflicted, they may be lone wolf types, preferring their solitude out of fear of rejection. PLUTO IN THE SECOND HOUSE When Pluto is in the second house, there is a compulsive nature in regard to money. If well aspected, they manage finances well. They may earn through investments and sound business practices. Fate is on their side financially. If afflicted, there can be financial losses due to poor management or a tendency to hoard money so it brings no one any happiness PLUTO IN THE THIRD HOUSE The mind is intense and detailed when Pluto is in the third house. Relationships with siblings are karmic in nature. If well aspected, they enjoy research, psychology, and have a probing mind. Relationships between brothers and sisters are loyal. Good aspects promote a positive belief in fate - faith. If afflicted, these people can be sarcastic or distrustful of others. Brothers and sisters may be a source of concern PLUTO IN THE FOURTH HOUSE When Pluto is in the fourth house, relationships with the parents are often deeply emotional and private. If well aspected, the parents are more dutiful. Often people with well aspected Plutos in the fourth house are intuitive and may do well with real estate ventures. They believe in fate and listen to their inner voice. If afflicted, these people have disruptive childhoods and emotional insecurities PLUTO IN THE FIFTH HOUSE

When Pluto is in the fifth house, matters of children and romance are taken to heart. If well aspected, the opposite is true, and children and loved ones are a source of emotional benefit. In either case, they are hard to forget. If natives are without children, their intense nature may go into creative endeavors. Speculation or the stock market may be a source of wealth. They believe in Lady Luck. If afflicted, romances and relationships with children take on a compulsive or intense nature. There may be old debts to settle here, requiring time and resources. PLUTO IN THE SIXTH HOUSE When Pluto is in the sixth house, there may be a deep commitment to work. If well aspected, their strong work orientations bring good results. Health is improved to some extent because good aspects here strengthen the immune system. They may have an interest in Pluto occupations like psychology, prisons, recycling or research. They may feel a calling to their work. If afflicted, they may be compulsive about work or health, due to past difficulties PLUTO IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE Fate plays a role in marriage when Pluto is in the seventh house. These people may be possessive or attracted to obsessive mates. In any event, they believe in until death do us part. For good or ill, the marriage is karmic in nature. If well aspected, the opposite is true, making the union a warm and lasting one. Marriage may bring a step up financially. Sometimes the partners seem to be able to read each others minds. If Pluto is afflicted, there can be jealousy and suspicions which may break down the union. Often the resentment will go underground and come out in controlling behaviors. PLUTO IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE Pluto is at home in the eighth house. Matters of death, joint finance and intuition are taken seriously. If well aspected, the reverse is true. Often they live long and productive lives due to a good immune system. They may be resourceful and have good ideas regarding recycling, joint finances, or banking. Inheritances are favored and intuition is strong. They believe in fate and may have experiences with deja vu, precognition, or medium ship. If afflicted, these people may fear the end, making death a protracted affair. They may have to fight for their inheritance. Often there will be bouts of loneliness due to a distrustful nature. It would be best to try to resolve differences without bitterness. PLUTO IN THE NINTH HOUSE When Pluto is in the ninth house, there may be a destiny on a foreign shore or a strong religious or philosophical nature. If well aspected, they may benefit from other cultures and travel. Often their intense religious and philosophical views

inspire others. They can have vivid dreams which may indicate their fate in life. If afflicted, people with Pluto in the ninth house may be fanatical in their ideas. Often, they have difficulty accepting new ideas or adapting to foreign countries. PLUTO IN THE TENTH HOUSE Pluto culminates in the tenth house. Here fate plays a strong role in their career and reputation. The need for power is intense.

Richard Nixons fall from grace is an example of Plutos finger of fate. PLUTO IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE Pluto in the eleventh house can bring powerful friends or lasting enemies. Friends seem fated in influence. If well aspected friends will aid them in life, often nudging them into power. If afflicted, friends may be a source of conflict. Often there are political rivalries. It is important to be above board in relationships. Differences of opinion are a matter of debate, not a threat to the relationship. In either case, fate plays a strong role in choice of friends. PLUTO IN THE TWELFTH HOUSE Here, Plutos influence is behind the scenes. They can attract secret admirers or hidden enemies. Sometimes, they can be paranoid or suspicious. If well aspected, the opposite is true. Their sense of intuition is beneficial. They can use it as a source of protection. Often they have an interest in studying the motives of others. They could be interested in reforming others through counseling or prison work. Sometimes they not only believe in fate, but rely on it! If afflicted, they can be paranoid or suspicious.
