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.

Pluto in Capricorn, 10th house, or with Saturn…

 

“To hit bottom is to fall from grace.”

- Doug Horton

Maybe hitting bottom is a bit extreme–it could simply be : heading towards “the bottom.” Whats the bottom all about?: to have Nothing to identify with; a cluelessness of who we are in the World.  It all circles around the idea of Authority (Personal and external Authorities). Pluto with Saturn creates an instant karma equation, where we are always testing the laws that bind us–messing with authority (in and out).  Deep down we know we are screwing up, yet we push the envelope anyways. When Pluto is in the 10th house, we must face all our fears and intense reactions to society, and find our own power within it.  Lets allow Jeff Green to illuminate:

 

 

Pluto in the Tenth House or Capricorn: emotional trauma can occur to these individuals for the following causes:
1. When they experience a total “fall from grace”, or from positions of power and/or social position. This can be extremely intense because these individuals are inwardly defined by their social position or role. The fall or loss of position requires an intense inner reformulation or metamorphosis of their sense of identity, an identity that is not defined by social power or position. Former President Nixon is an example of this dynamic.
2. When they are born into a family in which one or both parents are emotional dictators who expect the child to conform to their sense of reality. The child is thus not acknowledged for their own innate individuality. This type of trauma creates an adult who is emotionally closed and rigid because he or she has learned as a child to emotionally shut down in order not to be hurt. The delayed stress of childhood manifests as adults who try to control or shape the emotional lives of those that they interact with. This is done through confronting type judgements that they project onto others.
When Pluto transits the Tenth House, forms stressful aspects through transit to Saturn, planets within the natal Tenth House, or to the planetary ruler of the Tenth House it can generate these issues and subsequent traumas.

 

Currently, Pluto is in Capricorn.  The above descriptions apply to the entire world over.  Our paper goverments and see through media will–inevitably–be revealed.  Pluto’s job in the cosmic scheme of things is to remove the weakest links–to unbridle the lies–and show the true face of what we are dealing with.  If its ourselves, then we see faces we have long forgotten; If its our governments, we see their “true” faces on the bottom.  Pluto will remain in Capricorn until the early 20′s, during which time, the United States of America will experience a Pluto return (take Saturn return, apply it to a country, multiply by 10, and you begin to see the power of this mark). By the early 20′s–i feel–our world won’t be recognizable to itself.  Pluto will have changed the rules. May it be a Good change. We pray.

Second house

…Yes, it is deeper than money, but it is still $$$.

If you have Pluto there, you will feel a lack around money; it is your soul’s desire to fill this lack

…if you have Saturn there, a similar blockage to Pluto, but more related to hard lessons revolving around ‘your stuff’ and your resources.  It will make you resourceful for sure.

(all the outer planets, and other malefics like Mars will create a distrubance if they are present here).

* on the other hand, what if you have Jupiter there?

You may be graced in this area of your life.  Born into money and a big house, your privledge will propel you into the future.  You will meet Saturn eventually, but your start is great. With Venus there, you may have expensive tastes and an adoration for food. The moOn? similar to Venus: attached and comfortable.

Of course, these factors are weakened without the whole chart, but they still speak to a point: We want to be in harmony with our 2nd house.

The 8th house looms on the horizon for those in the 2nd–you can hear whispers igniting desire.  The 8th house creates debt by convincing people to live outside their means, thus creating more trouble in the 2ns house.  To live outside our means only creates more trouble in the 2ns house.  And so the goal is to live within our means, not outside.  To live simply, not parasitically.  There is always danger to this approach anyways.  This danger can always be found in the 8th house. Be so careful with your lives, and with your sneaky desires.

the Dali Lama says, as he strolls a grocery store, “Do I want this, or do I need this.” 9/10 times it is only a want.  Such is life.
