If not, then look at the placement of your natal Pluto – the house and the aspects and consider how to appease this Pluto.
I was thinking about this on the subway today. How I have a lot of “service” in my chart i.e. that I am to be *of* service — lots of Virgo, North Node in Pisces in the 6th, Cancer stellium — a fair amount of doing for others.
But when I had work that didn’t use my Moon Pluto conjunction concretely, I suffered. I NEEDED to engage this Pluto profoundly. Pluto IS profound. It’s our depth. It’s our experience. It’s our survival.
And when I say happy I don’t really identify *happy* with leaping for joy although that is an option I suppose (says my Virgo Moon) but really I mean a feeling of being where you are supposed to be and that you’ve gotten somewhere in your day. And that you have no regrets. You’ve made meaning.
And you?

Yes, I am doing Mini-Moon Readings for the Full Moon in Leo (which are kinda like mini-transit readings). Look here for Astrology stuff and here for Tarot stuff and don’t forget the Testimony!

My Pluto is in the 7th house in libra – does that mean work at relationship or my work is relationships?
I think it means working one on one could be very satisfying
This is interesting. I didn’t know natal Pluto was connected to work. Mine is in the 5th and I work with children. I do feel like I need to be more creative though!
You know what, A? It’s all connected really — but it occurred to me – that if we make that PLuto happy then we make our DEPTH happy – part of our CORE part. And it’s creative, generating, re-generating. Pluto rules regeneration/rebrith.
I have Pluto right in the 6th! I need to be able to create change in my work, and I like my work to be somewhat “hidden” or private. I like to work alone because most people do not work as intensely and aren’t as insanely driven by work (I had to work with a lazy whiner last summer, and I basically destroyed him).
I tend to not last long in jobs, not out of lack of commitment, but because my main motivation is that above: I go in, transform the hell out of the way things are done and improve the job, then think, “My work here is done.” I know there is a specific job where people do this, but I can’t remember the title…
You know, natal Pluto can work both ways: bring that undying commitment and loyalty OR see the native contstantly changing in the areas that house rules–
I should point out that none of these jobs had been worthy my loyalty ahahaha. Not even after the changes I brought in!
funny you posted this cuz last night I was reading thru our previous exchanges (from Scorp New Moon) and I decided to just take a look on craigslist and found a job I really would like (Libra Saturn/Pluto 10th) and am doing some research about the company so I can set up my cover letter accordingly and see what may come of it 🙂
Like Angela I need to feel good about my work and just a few weeks ago I was mentioning how I want to switch gears in my career again (back to where I started…) and this company does fundraising for many humanitarian organizations and I would work closely with its executive. Sounds like a good fit for me!! oh and its right in the town I’m moving in!*keeps fingers crossed*
Never any harm in applying. And then YOU decide 🙂 Pluto in the 10th – power plays are inevitable at work but… damn… I think the Pluto 10th peeps wind up being the boss in one way or another – but may project that out– rather than accept it. That’s a strong STRONG placement
I need to feel good about it, to feel good about myself (Pluto in Libra, ruler of asc, in the 11th or 12th). Pluto in Libra doesn’t want trouble, and doesn’t want to *be* a problem. I know a couple of people who have the wrong idea about me, and they think they’re spot-on with their thinking; that I find fascinating, when I’m feeling okay.
I keep stumbling across people saying, “You are right where you’re supposed to be.” I don’t feel it, and I don’t like that.
Angela, I’m the opposite in a way – Scorp rising with Pluto in 12th, but I DO feel that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be – the right place, time, even body 🙂 while those close to me (or rather related, which is not always the same) feel that I’m in the wrong place and wrong stage in my life.
Thanks for chiming in, P. 🙂 I love it when conversations happen here — I withhold answering the question myself, whether I am in the right place/time/body but also have def experienced those who critique me – that me/my life/whatever is somehow not quite right —
Best to stick with those who… see your worth.
Thank YOU for offering this space for discussion.
I distinctly remember the first time I felt, or knew, like “this is who i am, and can’t be anyone else” — I was 6 or 7yo, and then started wondering “why do people keep telling me i should be more this, or less that?!!” it always made me mad, i couldn’t be what they wanted me to be.
Being in the right place doesn’t mean I don’t feel deficient in some ways, it’s just – this is what I have to work with, gotta deal 🙂
Thanks, P.
Not long ago I had one of those infamous Facebook fights with someone because he dared to criticize my life. As if he knew anything about it (an exboyfriend from over 20 years ago!) I told him off (transiting Mars applying to my Pluto) and then he defriended me.
I am always “too serious” or “too sensitive” or “too whatever…” I tend to lose track. “Not friendly” enough, “not smiling” “not social” not living up to all the expectations–
Stick with the folks who see you in a good eye. I don’t mean the ones who fluff you up and bullshit you – but the ones who really see YOU. How rare it is. How magical. You know those kind of friends? The ones who say “yes! you are wonderful!” And they mean it and it is TRUE.
Sometimes I think that’s a cop-out, when a person says “you are right where you are supposed to be.” Sometimes I really do believe it and tell people that — but I can see how others will say it when they just feel stumped OR they are afraid to start an argument–
