Now that we understand how the Universe works, having acquired the ability to work with symbols and metaphors (the Neptunian phase), we can begin to manipulate the world around us in a more profound and subtle way than we could previously.
This is represented by Pluto.
Pluto is a higher vibration (or octave) than Mars. Just as Mars energy enables us to move objects in our physical world, so Pluto enables us to do the same but on a spiritual or energetic dimension.
You’ve probably come across the idea of creating a vision for what you want, even to the extent of setting up a Vision Board. Having created your vision (or dream), you involve as many senses as possible. One of the important things is to get emotionally involved – the stronger the emotion, the more likely it is your vision will come into your physical reality.
An example could be – meeting your ideal partner. You think about the characteristics of the person you want to be with. You imagine the things you’d do together and the places you’d go to. Emotionally, you get attached to what you want to have in your life and how you’d feel being with this person.
Without consciously making changes you start to find ‘co-incidences’ occurring. You start chatting to people you wouldn’t previously have talked to. You find yourself attending events you wouldn’t have gone to before. These are changes which happen in your life without you making a conscious decision. Perhaps, something has changed at work and you’re now going to places and meeting people you wouldn’t have previously.
This is your Plutonian self bringing into the physical reality that which you’ve instigated in the spiritual realm.
Something very important to keep in mind here, is that this process occurs whether you’re conscious of it or not. This leads us to repeat patterns which may not really be helpful. An example is a person who keeps finding themselves in abusive relationships. They have a particular image or belief around the type of person they need in their lives. This idea, image or thought-form will continue to drive their relationships until they can change that belief and so they have a pattern of getting out of one destructive relationship and get into a new one only to find the same behaviour is happening again. So, unless we utilise our Pluto energy consciously, it will use us (this applies to all our energetic drives as represented and expressed by the various planetary symbols).
Returning to our explanation of Pluto: in mythology, Pluto was the god of the underworld, associated with things that are hidden.
An analogy for Pluto is the seed. A seed can lie dormant for years, for example sitting on a shelf waiting to be planted. Once it’s in the right conditions ie with soil and water, it changes dramatically. It absorbs the moisture, sending down roots and sending up shoots (the fact it can tell up and down is quite amazing).
Under normal circumstances we don’t see any of this happen. We plant a seed and we water it and water it and for quite some time nothing seems to happen. Then one day, we come out and there’s a developing plant there, with a shoot and leaves. This is the Plutonian principle at work.
But, in the process of a seed turning into a fully developed plant the seed disappears. There’s nothing you can do to the plant which will reveal to you the seed it came from. And so Pluto represents the principle of death and regeneration. In it’s transformation from a seed to a plant the seed has ‘died’. When we experience death, in any form, we need to see that it is, in fact, a transformation rather than an end.
As an expression of this principle, Pluto is also associated with sexuality. Sex is an integral part of the regenerative process and so Pluto is an important indicator in a person’s birth chart about how they express their sexuality.
