Anti-Culture: Pluto in the 11th, Aquarius, Uranus/Saturn

“Culture is not your friend”

Terence Mckenna

We are all weird.  Some are faster to admit, but when it comes right down to it: we are all pretty damn weird. And what is weird, but different and wonderful. With Aquarius, the 11th house, and Uranus/Saturn we are dealing with what Jung called Individuation process.  Individuation–from what I understand (I’m no Jungian Psychologist)–is the movement towards our true (authentic) Self.  The movement can be scary–especially if our friends or culture don’t agree with our Truth.  When Pluto comes into the picture, we then experience the emotional trauma’s associated with this Archetype: like alienation, confusion, isolation and genius. Lets allow Jeff Green to illuminate:

Pluto in the Eleventh House or Aquarius: emotional trauma can occur for these individuals for the following causes:
1. When they realize that the lifestyle that they have been living is not reflective of their actual nature, or when their lifestyle is radically altered through cataclysmic events which they seem powerless to alter.
2. When they experience being intensely used and manipulated by others who have been considered friends or lovers, or when their friends or lovers seem to turn against them for no apparent or legitimate reason.
3. When the overall culture treats these people as iconoclastic threats in such a way as to create a reality for them of always being on the outside looking in.

When Pluto transits the Eleventh House, forms stressful aspects through transit to Uranus, to planets within the natal Eleventh House, or to the planetary ruler of the Eleventh House these issues and subsequent traumas can occur.

As Terence states in the opening quote, “Culture is not your friend,”  we must wake up to the limiting aspects of our culture, and become aware of how it limits our spirits from shining.  Culture is nothing more than a mental construct.  In many ways, it is shaped and catered towards fulfilling a mysterious “someones” needs.  For example, why, in our culture, are alocohol and tobacoo the only legal mind altering substances, when they cause more death combined than most forms of cancer? Is it not to propituate slumber and weakness in the masses…? All the while, the more constructive and liberating substances of the Earth are made illegal.  God forbide we see through the bullshit.  And so, when a person in our culture decides to live outside of the prescribed ways (ie. not drinking or smoking or participating in the madness) they are then alienated from a great majority of the culture.  It’s unfortunate, but true.  Pluto in the 11th challenges us to take the leap, no matter what the fight we are forced endure with our culture and friends.  With diligence, we can then breakthrough into our True Individuated state.  Only then do we have a future worth living for.

…to see outside the box

Pluto goes to Hell… (I mean Home): 8th house, Scorpio, Mars

“Our demons are our own limitations, which shut us off from the realization of the ubiquity of the spirit….each of these demons is conquered in a vision quest!” Joseph Campbell This exalted–or better said “domicile” signature brings the best and the worst out of this Archetype.  Being the nature of Archetypes arent good or bad–completely black or white–we can trust this signature not to just bring incredible pain and suffering, but also ecstatic bliss and power.  I’m not entirely sure how the other posts have come off–completely negative, slightly negative…just a bit positive–but it is my desire to keep my analysis balanced.  Pluto does set an easy trap, which leads into fear mentality and negative feelings. AHh….. we can only try our best. Lets allow Jeff to illuminate a bit:

Pluto in the Eight House or Scorpio: emotional trauma can occur to these individuals for the following causes:
1. When life conditions are created in which they experience severe and intense betrayal, and violations of trust.
2. When they experience being intensely used and manipulated by other(s)
3. When they experience intense sexual violations and misuse of such energy
4. When they experience intense loss of those that are closest to them
5. When life conditions are created in which they are forced to examine their own motives, intentions, and emotional agendas. This examination, at some point, will uncover the subtle and not so subtle ways in which they have manipulated others or situations in order to gain something that they need or want. The light of emotional honesty creates a cruel glare that exposes the inner lies that they create for themselves and others.
When Pluto transits the Eight House, forms stressful aspects to Mars and/or Pluto through transits, to the planetary ruler of the Eight House, or to planets within the natal Eight House it can generate these issues and subsequent traumas.

Magic too! This signature seems to be a magnet for the darker sides of magic (the Occult [and that to say the Occult is Dark, but, the potential therein lies]).  In a general sense, magic is just the unseen world of desire–no matter how hidden–acting itself out in the world.  Magic in the way we usually relate to it: spells, potions, witches etc–is accurate, but a sliver manifestation of magic at work. The world is magic and this magic can possess this native. We must be careful in not creating enemies–always, but especially here (think: voodoo dolls).  Psychic warfare is a real battleground. We must make our peace.

Manipulation is only retatliation for our lost and confused ways. The goal–I feel–with this signature is to find all the power in ourselves, with no crutches to hold us up (friends, parents, lovers…money).  We must know what its like to live a life unfettered by stagnant emotional stabilities.  Once we see the problem, then we can muster the will to change; once we have the Will to change, the transformation takes place!!!

People with Pluto in the 8th:

(Hitler, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Bridgett Bardot, Guy Pearce, Marc Bolan, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Lee)

…powerful charecters….cOol charecters.  No coincidence.  Scorpio–paradoxially–is what is cool.  ”Oh, you bad–you sooooOoo bad.” Our attraction–of course–can be seen in Vampires (listen to Exploring Astrology #56 for more).

Make sure you got a lighter.

Plutonic Love: 7th house, Venus, and Libra

“I need to have them–they are all I can think of–I can’t live without them; can’t imagine breathing without them!” Spoken from the Plutonic heart which lives in us all. With Pluto in the 7th, it is devastatingly emphasized–this foolish heart that cannot control itself.  Pluto involved with Venus makes us desire to sacrifice it all on the alter of Love–with our hearts as the centerpiece (next to the roses)–only to be let down by absence of our beloveds when the ceremony begins. Helplessness and pain drips into the heart. Longing and sad Love songs take up our time. We must avoid setting ourselves up, only to be let down.  Lets allow Jeff Green to illuminate:

Pluto in the Seventh House or Libra: emotional trauma can occur to these individuals for the following cause:
1. When life conditions occur in which they are forced to realize that the sense of purpose and meaning that they are looking for is not embodied in another person, but is within themselves. These individuals’ core sense of identity and security is bound up, linked with, the desire and need to be in intimate relationships. At key points in their lives these individuals will experience fundamental breakdowns, confrontations, or cataclysmic loss within their existing relationship. This has the effect of forcing them in on themselves in order to learn to grow from within themselves, not through and because of another person. The compulsion of co-dependency is shattered.
When Pluto transits the Seventh House, forms stressful aspects through transit to Venus, to the planetary ruler of the Seventh House, or to planets within the natal Seventh House it can generate such conditions within existing partnerships with the subsequent trauma.

The greatest remedy for Pluto is Libra?: Playing it cool…

Love’s blossom can always fade quick if you are looking for it outside yourselves.  If Pluto is transiting through your 7th house, be carefull.  No need to fall so fast you hit your chin–its a better idea to just play it cool.  Never invest your own Soul for another until they have done the same for you.  Don’t be a Fool; don’t obsess.  It is exactly what Pluto wants from you.  Avoid it at all costs.  Become aware of this emotional Need, and use any weapons you got against the possession: mantras, visualizations, sheilds, armors, or venusian heart protecters. Its vital you are proctected and aware of the Summoning of Plutonic Love.  It will get you every time if you watching close.

When understood (the true power of this combo), we can sink into the mysterious depths of Tantric Love and complete and seamless Union with another.  The Soul Reunion is then complete.

(…it takes practice.  Its the Dragon work>)

Exploring Astrology: #51 Mars

The Will to Live gives us many fruits…tasty ones, and rotten ones.  It brings courage in this dangerous world we live in, but it also bring violence, anger, and destruction.  Mars is like a pitpul.  Plain and simple.  If its untrained, its dangerous; if it is trained well, it is the best companion you can imagine.  Give a listen, and get another varied look into the terribly misunderstood Mars. Hope you enjoy.
