Sun-Pluto Aspects: Force of Nature

Having the Sun sign conjunct, square, opposite, sextile, or trine Pluto makes you a real force of nature. But, in what way, depends on your personal development and potential. You could become an utterly destructive and even terrifying force of nature ? a devouring wildfire (Fire Sun), a ruinous earthquake (Earth Sun), a deadly tornado (Air Sun), or a fearsome hurricane (Water Sun) ? or you could be the kind of force that positively represents tremendous personal power and determination. With Sun-Pluto aspects, the power of Pluto is directed toward the sense of self (Sun sign). More than any other Pluto aspect, your mission is to deal with what personal power truly means, where it really comes from, and what you?re supposed to do with it.

A lot of Sun-Pluto people can be strictly self-controlled, knowing just how overpowering their self-expression can be. But, this allows all of that force to build and build on the inside, releasing itself eventually. Therefore, you can veer between being too secretive and controlled to too overwhelming. Overwhelming people is a common theme for Sun-Pluto natives, from childhood onward. Since Pluto significantly amplifies and intensifies your Sun sign?s energy and personal traits, you were often shamed during childhood for being ?too much?: too talkative, too intense, too perceptive, too energetic, whatever else. It might have been to the degree that you were ? usually innocently ? very difficult for your authority figures to control, leading them to take harsh or drastic measures. The fact that you were probably maligned and even bullied by your peers for being so high-intensity and different leads to a feeling of being deeply rejected and misunderstood that causes you to conceal your true self (Sun) so obsessively.

This placement can have the ?everyone hates me? syndrome, which may lead you to be pathologically leery of people or pathologically concerned with their approval, especially when younger. You possibly even veered back and forth between both extremes. There can also be a real paranoia and defensiveness about people ?controlling? you as you?re already all too used to feeling this way. Thus, the classic control-freak is born, which is also due to the fact that your personality can be so especially dominant. The true motives of people become a strong preoccupation with you, but it?s often a result of you projecting all of that internal dark stuff that you can?t handle on to them: your own rage, obsessions, torments, and power-cravings. Bringing all of this into awareness and learning complete self-acceptance is the only way for you to truly transform.

The major lesson for Sun-Pluto is to fully embrace their Sun sign personality, as well as the extra intensity that Pluto gives it, and not hide it away inside of themselves. This is what allows all of that darkness to be transformed and used for good. Your power is internal, not external. It can never be taken away from you. Knowing that allows you to let go of the need to control everything and everyone around you, particularly what people think of you. Feeling too afraid of being rejected, ostracized, or misunderstood can lead to profound feelings of vulnerability, which you might overcompensate for by controlling and dominating and manipulating. But, if you can really let go, you?ll learn to accept your vulnerability by openly exposing your real self and knowing that no one can ever make or break your sense of self unless you let them, giving you a detachment from fears of rejection.

Whether you?re on the low or high octave of the Sun-Pluto expression, you are going to have a very forceful and powerful presence. People just can?t help but respond to you. Sun-Pluto individuals have an ability to enter a room and utterly take over it with their sheer force of personality. Often times, it?s in a more subtle manner. You have incredible magnetism and personal charisma, which you can use to your fullest advantage in becoming an exceptional leader. You can really inspire others to find their inner strength and their true self. You?ve spent so much of your life feeling ashamed or disempowered that you have a radar for what?s really troubling people and how to guide them back toward their light. You?re an example of courageously authentic living.

Once you?ve empowered yourself, you?re seen as a very strong personality, probably even quite the bad-ass to many. And you don?t have to go around fighting people or even making a lot of noise to do this. It?s in that ferocious strength of character that you?re capable of exuding: never tolerating falsity, pretense, mistreatment, or pressures to conform as well as knowing exactly who you are and not being afraid of it. Being a Sun-Pluto person means that you have the potential to be extremely individualistic, never compromising yourself or your values, even when it?s not popular or gains you criticism. It takes a lot for people to scare or intimidate you, if they ever do. But, you often find yourself doing the scaring and the unnerving, even if you don?t mean to.

Being at a strong level of self-acceptance eliminates a lot of the repression you once struggled with, even if you?re still well-controlled. You?ll express yourself with incredible passion and conviction, making a believer out of anyone who you come across. This is when you become a true force of nature, Sun-Pluto. You?ll be fully and thoroughly alive, exuding an awesome life force that makes every day exciting and impassioned and always pursuing the fulfillment of your deepest desires. Don?t get stuck in all of the dark drama. There?s much more to life than that. Instead, focusing on living with whole-hearted commitment and with as little fear as possible.

However, being a Sun-Pluto individual means that you don?t flinch where the darkness is concerned, whether within or without. In spite of how extremely charismatic you can be, when you?re in a good enough place, you don?t see much wrong with your less pleasant qualities. You won?t always put them out there but you?ll find ways to deal with them and outlets to express them in, adding spice and complexity to your personality. People aren?t meant to always be nice, after all, and you can be an example of how liberating some good, old-fashioned brutal honesty can be. The things people are often too scared to admit about themselves are not so hard for you to admit.

Since Pluto is about the primal forces of the darker side, these need to be integrated in your identity in some manner. It doesn?t mean that you need to engage in destructive activities, but that you still need to honor these aspects of yourself and teach others how to honor them as well. Pluto also pertains to a certain raw sexual magnetism that Sun-Pluto people usually emanate in waves. It?s just a very major part of who you are (Sun) at the end of the day and an ease with all your sexual desires brings enormous growth. You will strive to transcend the sex-negative attitudes that our society still so wrongly promotes , eliminating a lot of the taboo that surrounds various forms of sexuality and showing it to be something totally empowering and healthy.

When the darkest hours come your way, you?ll have an innate ability to deal with them. Having this placement means that you?ve already gone through some especially intense fires at certain times in your life and just accept these things as parts of life. Your fierce survival instinct is deeply connected to your powerful vitality, which can seem almost superhuman in its strength. You can keep regenerating and regenerating yourself, after every loss, betrayal, tragedy, or humiliation. No one embodies the ?what doesn?t kill you makes you stronger? creed better than yourself, Sun-Pluto. ?I?m still alive,? you believe, even while there?s nothing but wreckage around you. And no matter how tough it gets, as long as you?re still breathing, you?ll usually find a way to keep on going.

Sun conjunct Pluto: Having the conjunction is the purest personification of Sun-Pluto energy and dynamics that there is. Even if it doesn?t seem like it, to the naked eye, you?re more than familiar with the Underworld. However, you?re also going to be the type who lives to tell the tale and who can teach those around you how to survive and strengthen themselves as well. The personal magnetism here is very overwhelming, often in a positive sense. However, people can find themselves almost helpless in your presence. And you might use this to your advantage all too often, especially when the person in question is ?weaker?. Learn how to pursue and gather power for the greater good, not just the good of your ego. Then, you?ll be at your most gloriously effective.

Sun square or opposite Pluto: The square and the opposition are the forms of Sun-Pluto energy that are most likely to rub people the wrong way, possibly unintentionally. If you?re not self-aware and positive enough, you might turn many off by being way too aggressive, too extreme, too anxious to be in control. There can be a ?me against the world? mentality here that needs to be let go of, in order for you to be at your best. If not, you?ll torture yourself with your frustrations and self-defeatist patterns. When you do let go of this attitude, you can achieve tremendous things and, believe it or not, be incredibly magnetic. Even more highly charged than the conjunction, due to the inner struggles you?ve conquered, you show a fierce, admirable intent to claim full agency over your life.

Sun sextile or trine Pluto: With the sextile or trine, you don?t have to struggle too much with the idea that you?re powerful or how to properly wield that power out in the world. That comes rather seamlessly to you. However, you might sometimes find yourself overestimating your strength and underestimating the challenges before you. Even strong people like you can lose the battle, after all. Yet, you can easily focus your attention on the war itself and brush such defeats off more quickly than the others in this group. Don?t be disappointed, though, when I say that you?re the Sun-Pluto person least likely to be intimidating. This is a good thing. Your magnetism can reel them in without scaring them off. You know just which buttons to push to make your followers positively respond.
