PLUTO ON THE ASCENDANT
In your natal chart, if you have Pluto on your Ascendant (AC) and still live within 1500 miles of your birth place, I feel for you. Pluto on the Ascendant can cause extreme life experiences that can be upsetting and exhausting. However, it could be worse; you could have both Pluto and Uranus on your Ascendant—like I do—and those extreme upsetting and exhausting life experiences could come at you suddenly and violently. Rape, molestation, muggings, kidnappings, and beatings are a few examples of the extreme negative manifestations of Pluto on the Ascendant.
Why does Pluto on the Ascendant naturally attract so many problems into the life? Let’s look at some of the major keywords of Pluto and the Ascendant to find clues:
Pluto = TRANSFORMATION, Destroying or Reforming, birth and death, crime, obsessions, phobias, coercion, kidnapping, force, disease, extreme power, “God of Hell,” subversion, waste, isolation, disappearance and degeneration.
Since Pluto rules Scorpio, let’s look at some Scorpio keywords, beginning with the primary keyword:
Scorpio = INTENSITY, vengeful, temperamental, secretive, overbearing, violent, sarcastic, suspicious, jealous, intolerant, passionate, private, penetrating, determined, resourceful, motivated, investigative, probing, controlling, and very sexual.
Now, lets look at some keywords and phrases for the Ascendant:
Ascendant = PERSONALITY, ROLE ONE PLAYS, EXTREME SELF, how you make contact with the external environment, how the world sees you, how you see the world, your appearance, your temperament, lifestyle, and the condition of your outer self.
As you can clearly see, the combination of Pluto on the Ascendant has great potential for disaster for a person.
The Ascendant is referred to as the “Chart Ruler” because all of the planets’ energies are filtered through the AC. Incoming data from the outside world enters through the AC and all outgoing interaction with the outside world is filtered through the AC as well. It is one of the most important points of the chart because it sets the stage for certain physical life experiences. Your AC sign and planets within 10 degrees of the AC, predisposes you to attract—and project—THOSE types of energies IN AN OBVIOUS OUTER WAY.
Along with planets in the first house, the Ascendant tends to dominate one’s appearances and physical life experiences to the point that these energies are major significators of lifestyle and physical events in the life. Conditions of our childhood environment is also indicated by the 1st house and by any planets located in the 1st house. Planets within 10 degrees of the AC are the strongest in the chart with the closest planet to the AC being the strongest.
Actions you can take that will relieve some of the Pluto effects
The first thing you might consider doing is moving 3,000 – 4,000 miles away from your birth place. This will cut the Pluto effect in half over a period of a year or two. After about two years, the natal charts’ effects calm down and the relocation chart starts to gain momentum. Your natal chart is still active, but its power is lessened and the influence of the relocation chart strengthens. Over time both charts will merge and mix to create a whole new life for you.
All my major life problems seemed to have melted away once I moved this distance. You can see why this helps by looking at your relocation chart. Moving several thousand miles away takes that Pluto off of your Ascendant and places it into another house all together. Removing Pluto from the AC moves that obvious intense energy away from the matters that deal with the first house, such as physical body, personality, temperament and outer life conditions…. half of it, at least, which is extremely helpful!!
If for some reason, moving is impossible, then the only other choice you have to control this “hell-on-wheels” energy is to try to USE UP that Pluto energy in positive ways.
Here are some examples:
- discover cures for diseases
- become a chemist
- open a detective agency
- join the FBI
- become a disaster relief expert
- become a volcano expert
- become a psychologist
- own a large sewage facility
- become a police officer that solves mass murder mysteries
- become a global war expert
- find cures for venereal diseases
- become an astronaut
- own a large demolition company
- explore life after death
- heal large groups of people
- expose corporation corruption that has been developed secretly
- expose political corruption that has been developed secretly
- help educate and fight against child molestation
- become a rape/violence counsellor
These are just a few career choices that can divert that destructive Pluto energy. Good Luck!
Below are some life experience testimonies by various people that either have Pluto on their Ascendant or know someone with Pluto on their Ascendant:
“I have been in 18 car wrecks in my life, and nearly been shot twice by accident…and I got bit by a water moccasin…”
“I wouldn’t say I boss people around; I call it advising them…lol.”
“I feel I can do any and everything alone and I always find myself in leadership positions whether I like it or not.”
“My son has pluto on his asc. and every since birth as a toddler, he seemed to be able to control situations. However, he was trained in the martial arts since age 4, got his black belt at 13 in china from the shaolin monks and is becoming quite balanced in his outlooks.”
“….she’s got to be in control of everything…”
“…a shock wave of control ripped through me the first time I met her, my heart sank as I realized I was about to become the mother-in-law of a very narcissistic and controlling person with tons of charismatic energy.”
“My daughter has Pluto conj. ASC in Sagittarius. She’s only two-and-a-half, but I can see the Plutonian energies at work in her. She’s very charismatic, intense, able to turn all the attention to her wherever she goes, and yes, very bossy.”
“…I will admit to being very sexual…”
“…I also find that I can tell a complete stranger what to do and they will comply…”
“..I just know things about people. I’m very sensitive; I can sense others emotions and what they are trying to accomplish underneath.”
“I’m also very good at reinventing myself. I don’t so much have a “life story” as I have many distinct life stories stuck together in one lifetime, each separated by short periods of turmoil.”
“I was extremely unhappy with the early iterations of me, the part where everything falls apart, the slate is wiped clean of virtually everything I have and people I know, things get difficult to dangerous…”
“If my lifestyle hadn’t crashed and burned, then surely I would have.”
“I have Pluto in Scorpio (1st house) conjunct Scorpio Ascendant so the aspect is very strong in my chart. I definitely agree with others either loving you or hating you, this applies to me quite a bit. I come off as very intimidating to some. Every time I meet a baby, they almost always start crying which doesn’t suit me at all because I love kids lol. The fact that we appear so intense, or even serious looking to others can throw the more reserved and shyer person off. I find that if I’m talking with someone, very often they would find it difficult to look me in the eyes. They’d usually look off into the distance or somewhere else when speaking to me or for the more shyer ones put there head down and look at the floor.”
“Power is definitely something that matters quite a bit to me. Just the thought of being seen as weak really throws me off. We just can’t take crap from anyone and they quickly learn not to mess with us anymore. I’m definitely very manipulative, and love to have control over people (as terrible as it sounds lol). Sex definitely is a huge deal to me. My friends often tell me that I need to cool it when it comes to this subject because I also love talking about it. Taboo topics really do appeal to me.”
“I feel that this aspect has a huge affect on appearance.”
“I am very Plutonian. I do get stared at a lot by both men and women (I am male). I can walk by a group of people and they’ll stop and stare at me. Is it something about me that they sense or see? It has always seemed to me that most people can’t look me in the eye for very long, especially men. I’ve learned not to look at others for too long because they’ll take it as a threat or most often interpret it as sexual attraction when that is most often not even the case. People either seem to really dislike me or fear me. I have an extreme “don’t get in my way” attitude that is off putting to others and not very helpful to me socially but I can’t stand the idea of ANYONE having any power over me. I don’t want to control or have power over others; that is not a concern of mine. However, if you try to control me in any you will have an absolute war on your hands. I am very aware of the emotions of others and usually know what type of person they are. It’s hard to fool me. I’ve been very aware of sexual attraction and sexual feeling for as long as I can remember, even before I knew what it was. It was always very strong, especially as a child as odd as that may sound. For the most part I have never been a promiscuous person although I could definitely have ten different partners a day.”
“I have it within 1 deg. w/ a Scorpio Rising, and I am indeed veeeery bossy! I boss my parents around, my siblings, and its kind of funny….within 2 months of starting at a new job, I was bossing the older, more experienced employees around! It’s quite ridiculous sometimes. But its strange, b/c people usually listen to me without question. I guess Pluto on the Asc. tends to give a strong, dominant, powerful personality with natural leadership tendencies. I think that is the keyword: Power. Power is my motivating force: I feel like I must have it at all times. I must control my immediate environment and those around me. Even in close relationships.”
“Some other characteristics that I myself experience from this aspect are of course, the intense, brooding look; and I guess what I would call a dark or powerful ‘aura’ or energy field. People either love me or hate me, are strongly attracted to me or frightened of me. I scare away alooot of people w/ this aspect; an ex/ of this is my former Manager who is a 30 year old man. Apparently he didn’t like working with me, b/c I made him “Uncomfortable” so he scheduled me whenever he wasn’t working. I didn’t even know him that well. Also, mind you I am a 5′4″, 125 lb., 19 year old female! Hardly intimidating.”
“Also, my personality and feelings tend to be kept under tight control… but there are rare occasions when my anger erupts and you do not want to be around me when that happens. I tend to fly off the handle and get into tremendous fits of rage.”
“Pluto brings a passion that few can match…”
“Pluto rules fame, too…and especially the media…”
“…she has such an overbearing, strong, willful personality.”
“….both of them are highly SECRETIVE!”
Please, do your utmost to promote Love and Peace in our World!
