I want to leave New York City. You can spend your life waiting for these subways, and I have already. Not born here, not raised here, but enough, enough waiting says my Moon conjunct Pluto in Virgo (who wants it done yesterday) and my progressed Moon in Aries: speed it up, speed it up, speed it up, more more more more more.
But back to the topic of mastering or managing the Pluto impulse, the impulse to disturb, to destroy, to be willful, to wound, the killing side of Pluto: intensity, the overwhelm.
First you need to know when it shows up, and whether it’s showing up to birth or to death. Or both.
And it’s about figuring out what triggers you.
Find the house where your Pluto lives. Find the aspects. I know you know this. Consider this a reminder.
Do you aim your Pluto at yourself? Or at others? When and why. That’s the first matter.
The second matter is: what do you want to do with your Pluto. What CAN you do with it.
Pluto heals.
At the gym the other day, one of the trainers, my new buddy, said I looked different. He asked how I felt. Great, I said. I had just gotten off the treadmill. And I’m not running on the treadmill. I mountain climb. I incline. Wow what it does to my heart. It makes my heart flood. The other great thing about the treadmill is that you can cry on the treadmill. Really. Try it.
And he said, wise man that he is, You don’t see what I see. I don’t feel what you feel. There we were having a conversation about something… imperceptible.
The teacher finds the student, the student finds the teacher, and both are ready, and in unlikely places, like the gym, the land of metal machines, Fergie, and Rhianna.
Your Pluto, however it’s configured, is yours, traveling, spinning inside you, humping your leg, and I’m not talking so much about Pluto oppositions here because I do believe oppositions represent outside energy coming at you — I refer more to conjunctions, squares, inconjuncts.
Or maybe your Pluto takes no crunchy aspects at all. Maybe it’s mostly alone in the house.
And I am feeling Pluto today as something wild, but not Uranian wild. More like… the way creativity is wild… oh damn this still sounds like Uranus. Oh well. I’ll have to come up with a different image…
Okay. Here’s one. I’m thinking of a horse, a wild horse, kicking, giving birth. That’s my Pluto image. And the result of course is a new pony in the barn, a Christmas image for the New Moon in Capricorn the day before Jupiter goes direct on Christmas Day and Jupiter Direct is this horse for you, a baby, your new life. And, yeah, it’s gonna trine Pluto. Taurus to Capricorn.
I’m sorry. This post is ALL over the place but I think that’s part of my charm lately.
🙂
Pluto rules pregnancy and Pluto is direct now and transiting Pluto is also your new life, new creation and in your natal it’s where you keep starting over.
Something else I was thinking on the train today: if you have a prominent Pluto, especially a 1st House Pluto and feel that everyone can see it and is staring at it… then smile. Smile from your heart, from your eyes. And this is truly a visualization; it’s more than just doing it mechanically. Be Pluto smiling and then the right people will fall in to you, into your depths which are warm and good like… well… good like a waffle. I swear I have not gone nuts it’s just these gourmet Waffle trucks in New York City have me obsessed and all metaphors right now lead back to the thick warm…
A prayer: Please God may this be the only blog ever that compares Pluto to the Almighty Waffle.

I absolutely believe in the power of a smile, it has a surprisingly huge impact on the people around me and on myself as well. But it’s hard, it’s so damn hard sometimes to smile for me, at least.
There were a few times in my life when I was very upset and I focused all the range in just a few words that I truly felt and still do: “I see nothing but darkness around me!” So I try to smile, it lights up the the darkness a little.
I don’t naturally smile – takes effort – to smile from outside or inside for me.
Smiling takes effort for me too! I have to remind myself to do it (I can’t tell you the number of people who have told me after getting to know me that they thought I was a bitch at first because of this)- but it’s just because I’m always busy thinking about something intently!/Being a space cadet. So yeah, thanks for the reminder of that 😀 Perhaps this is Pluto also- I’ve been feeling anger like I never have before, the past 2 years. It blips up, then goes dormant, then comes back up. Kind of like herpes, I guess, now that I write that. Hah. But anyway, I’ve been thinking about mastery of it, etc. and I’m starting to wonder if I master it by letting it be, honoring the emotion, then when it dissipates it dissipates? Easier said than done I suppose… although I’m wondering, being a first house Pluto, if this anger somehow triggers shifts in my image/how I relate to myself and see myself? Hmmm. A few things that have happened in the past few years make me wonder this. Okay, wow, that was a ramble, great post as always, love the waffles!
I read something great today… let’s see if I can remember it… it was simple though… but it was about tempering that Pluto desire and intensity with patience and being loving. So simple yet hard to do. It’s so easy to push and demand and find fault — so much harder to… release expectation (in my humble opinion!)
Great post. I sure could eat one of those waffles right now. Natal pluto conjunct my ascendent, I feel one of those complete life changes coming on but I am resisting. Fear. Loss of security, keeps me bound up. Pluto now in my fifth. I dream of lovers…
Aliza, wow your posts are so my inner thoughts this entire month! Seriously! Hmmm Pluto pluto oh pluto….has me going from being a scientist to quitting my job and moving to an ashram in the middle of nowhere to learn yoga….pluto…rebirth/healing!!!! So missy, eat your delicious waffles (healing) and also is the gym trainer hot? …..(rebirth)
Sounds wonderful, Kristy. And nope, the gym trainer is not in my hot comfort zone– Pleasant and friendly though, not creepy —
Did Pluto by any chance transit your sun? Very similar thing happened to me! Except I wasn’t a scientist
T-Pluto will oppose my Sun… but not yet! My Sun is at 16…… Will be 5th House to 11th House… Hmmmmmmm
seriously loving this series!!
too many thoughts circling to be able to write anything relevant, but yeah, love’em!!!
It was a rambly post 🙂
always feel free to share irrelevant thoughts, my dear 🙂 I do it ALL the time!!!! (actually virgo tends to this. Well, THEY don’t think their thoughts are irrelevant but other speedier types do lol) I welcome irrelevant thoughts here, musings, grumblings, melancholia, joy etc etc etc
Pluto Pluto Pluto! Haha great post. I love the scattered humor. That’s my kind of humor 😉 I also love waffles, and pancakes! Pluto makes some good waffles and pancakes. Hmm continuously starting over in the 8th? Death and rebirth, haha yoga class!
I definitely relate to being tired of waiting…Pluto transit conjunct the sun and not far off Uranus. Waiting waiting waiting, I think the wait is coming to an end though. But really who can tell?
🙂 PLuto in the 8th: it’s always like being touched for the very first time. Kind of a shiny way to look at it 🙂
Hahaha awesome I like the way you think!
Huge fight tonight. 🙁 It’s never-ending.
The fiance who caused so much trouble between me and my sister, in the past, is supposed to be visiting over the holidays. venus/pluto on christmas eve? excuse me, but f**k. it’s in my 3rd house.
Think good thoughts! 3rd House!
