PLUTO IN CANCER

The planet Pluto symbolizes deep disruptions and
upheavals, domination and sexual instincts, and the
inner power we have in ourselves. Pluto destroys in
order to reconstruct and he provokes painful crises
that are needed in metamorphosis. Pluto is our deepest
instincts’ brutal force. It is the hidden and
unconscious violence that can explode in us with
incredible intensity before being projected in our
actions; in itself, the planet is not negative: the
might and the intensity of its energy are beyond the
conceivable but it can be funnelled. Pluto is the only
possibility we have at our disposal to overcome our
inner blocks and to eliminate outgrown situations that
have become inextricable. Pluto’s energy is valuable
because of its usefulness for the irreversible
destruction of what constitutes a problem and not
because of its negative side and its perversity. Pluto
allows to reconstruct and to regenerate parts of our
personality or whole stretches of our life, provided
that we manage to funnel his wild energy and to step
back. It is impossible to tame this energy, given its
essence. However, it is possible to take advantage of
it for a precise aim, through a temporary
identification of some parts of us with this energy.
In such a case, the outcome is our final evolution and
even, our transformation. In your natal chart, Pluto’s
house position is more important than his sign
position because, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune, Pluto is a slow planet. Many people born in
the same period have Pluto in the same sign. This is
the reason why the sign occupied here is less
meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called
fast planets, i.e. the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus
and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised
as you read what follows. The sign positions of
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have a collective meaning.
They do not influence your personality and they are
not to be really taken into account, unless they are
involved in numerous aspects or when they emphasize a
personal point of your natal chart such as your
Ascendant’s ruler, an angular planet, i.e. a planet
near the Ascendant, the Midheaven, the Nadir or the
Descendant. In such cases, the activity of the slow
planet is very highlighted. Pluto in Cancer may create
troubles in your home because your will to control is
too strong or because you are exceedingly sensitive.
