A facet of Pluto and Saturn: part 2

 One of the facets of Pluto, the three transpersonals, the Unicorn, in brief

Pluto represents one of the essential points of the inner initiation. It is a place of passage. As we know, Pluto helps us, indeed forces us, to go into the depths of our interiority in order to look at the shadows that are there. A Plutonian will have to experience periods of his life where he will be confronted with his repressed memories, with his fears that he has not wanted to see for a long time. In a process of initiation, Pluto allows us to connect with the parts that were lurking in our inner caves, in our unconscious. Although these periods of life are frightening, they manifest themselves and take different forms, the more we try to repress them, the more intensely they impose themselves on us. At this point there are only two possibilities, either we suffer and let time do its work in the incomprehension and forgetfulness of self, or we go through what scares us.

However, it is not a question of going to provoke our unconscious if the moment has not come. It is better to go into areas of experience through meditation or other practices to connect to the divine light, inner calm and presence. Thus united with this experience, this light and this state of spirit, we will be better able to confront the unconscious when Pluto makes contact with a major point in our natal chart.

Whether we are in a spiritual discipline or not, whether we feel the need to be in a loving and caring perspective and/or in a positive thinking state of mind. There always comes a time when life catches up with us and brings us back to experiences related to Pluto.

As Luc Bigé tells us on https://reenchanterlemonde-com.translate.goog/produit/le-choeur-des-planetes/?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fr

Pluto puts us back in contact with the power of life in order to destroy all the obstacles of specificities that we have put in place and that prevent us from evolving.

There is also the positive side of Pluto. His will to power, his ability to change, to regenerate, he produces a deep capacity of motivation to break the inertia. Pluto does not only represent the dark side of ourselves. It exudes a power of vitality which, when we are ready to face and cross-Pluto allows us to find an impressive power of vitality.

However, the power that emanates from Pluto has a purifying action that is expressed by a period of destructuring of what is obsolete in our psychological functioning. In these periods, it is very likely that we fall into a blocking process, because the assimilation of what comes out of it comes from our distant and archaic memories. However, the older we get, the closer we get to death. Thus, we realize that there is more to life than the ambition of the representative desires of the self. As our consciousness matures, our capacity to receive Plutonian energy increases. In order not to fall into the traps of Pluto, it is necessary to be able to penetrate the essence of Pluto, at least in part and especially when the Sun and Mercury are valued in the natal chart.

As we often say even though Pluto represents the dark part of ourselves, it is what we do with it that determines the experience of Pluto in our lives, for behind the experience of Pluto also lies the light.

In this process we can be trapped, because in a Plutonian personality the energy so much to make us believe that the more knowledge we have the more power we will have. Thus, people marked by Pluto will believe that in order to free themselves from the patterns of the unconscious, they will need intellectual knowledge approached through metaphysics, theology, philosophy, astrology and/or have an understanding of the phenomena and mechanisms of their inner patterns in order to understand how the essence of human nature works. The truth is that it is our need to understand that deprives us of reliving the experience. The reality within us can only be revealed through direct experience, through contact with our inner world and through what is presented to us. It is in these particular moments that correspond to the lived experience where the sensation appears as an evidence, because it is felt in the body, in the senses.

This description is a non-exhaustive part of the Plutonian influence. However, people who have an aspect contact between Pluto and the Sun, a conjunction, a square, an opposition and even a semi-square will be sensitive to what has been said above. Especially if Mercury is in Gemini or Virgo or otherwise conjoined to the ruler of the ascendant or to a corner of the chart or part of a planetary cluster. 

One can also say that it would be enough to have a dominant Pluto and a dominant Sun without them being in aspect to each other and a valued Mercury for this configuration to confer a character as briefly described.

The three transpersonals, the Unicorn 

In fact, one could say that with the three transpersonals and the middle Black Moon, one is in the too much or the too little! The expression will be singular with each of them, but the tendency to plunge into a form of absolutism is often important. With Uranus (Prometheus) one of the tendencies will represent antithesis, for example, the Promethean contains the potential to free himself from his attachments by becoming aware of his tendency to be in antithesis or the truth and its opposite. Rather than letting himself be penetrated by existence, by the sensation of his body and/or the sensation of the wind in his hair and the beauty of the moment, he will prefer to argue about his understanding of the phenomena he experiences. In doing so, he distances himself from the deep meaning of his experience which could provoke a true vision coming from his interiority, from his intimacy. 

One of the lessons of Prometheus (Uranus) represents an awareness of the need to listen with one's heart and not with one's head.

With Neptune (Proteus) the too little will be to isolate oneself in chimeras in order to avoid having to explain oneself. To tell the truth, Proteus perceives the mystery of the world and the evanescence of all things. Rather than allowing himself to live it in his intimacy in order to go towards a form of disidentification of his representations, his tendency will be for a long time to kiss the arms and say what for. To fill the gap, he feels between his great sensitivity and the courage to live it; he risks giving in to the ease of artificial joys of all kinds.

The Middle Black Moon (unicorn) will be ambivalent about her desire to touch the absolute that she knows as a person, but which remains secretly buried within her for fear of not living up to the excellence of her demands upon herself.

One of the facets of a retrograde Saturn:

Establishing a frame of reference (Saturn) in which the child can develop independence.

Examples of a Saturn retrograde in Pisces house 2:

Very quickly, the feeling of not having a framework is felt. The father's presence is diffuse and blurred. In fact, an idealization of the father developed in order to find a reassuring image. Communication can be absent and the closer you get to adolescence, the more the lack of communication becomes accentuated.

With this Saturn retrograde, it is common to feel a sense of disconnection from the representation of the father. As if the father had been a missing pawn. As adults, we feel the need to rebuild the foundations of security and structure, not only for ourselves, but also for our own children.

In the very good book Personality Development by Liz Greene and Edwards Sasportas, they show us, through scientific studies, that the quality of the father-child relationship is in the hands of both parties. The child is born with innate expectations and needs that will influence 50% of the quality of the father/child relationship.

Nevertheless, it is likely that this lack of a fatherly role model will create a difficulty in achieving his goals at an older age. With Saturn retrograde, he will be asked to rebuild himself from within by means representative of Pisces. That is, through opening the heart and uniting with the world of mystery, relationships that lead to opening the mind and body, learning to release internally from the pressure he is under.

The key point here is to learn to materialize an inner stability, a center that learns to say no when events seem inappropriate. Rooting is done from within and it is important not to try to function as a direct Saturn. That is, to form a Persona of outer stability, height and control. 

Example of direct Saturn in Capricorn 1st house. 

Saturn is associated with the superego and represents the paternal authority that dictates and limits others with a sharp sense of reality.

With Saturn, it is always a question of rigor and pragmatism with an ability to build. With this position, Saturn will gradually learn to build himself, through his efforts and determination, but the goal remains external. By shaping his personality through a discipline of life made of ambitions and success, he will build a protective shell in order to assume his objectives. He may become authoritarian, cold, rigid, realistic and even pessimistic at times, but he will keep a guiding line to which he will firmly cling. 

With Saturn retrograde, this feeling of limitation and reality is introjected and the person becomes more cautious to the point of never showing his emotions or vulnerability. Thus, the sense of control encourages the person to be strict about how they should behave with the feeling that they must refine their personality in order to achieve self-imposed perfection. Ultimately, no one is asking her to be perfect and yet it is extremely painful for her to say "no." This personality is under so much pressure to be perfect that the word "no" becomes inadequate. In fact, they often regret saying "yes" afterwards. Once the person with Saturn retrograde in Capricorn house 1 becomes aware that perfection only appears when he or she is not looking for it, he or she becomes more and more equipped to go beyond his or her fears of not being good enough.  Indeed, Saturn retrograde has a deep capacity to go through the shadow parts of herself, but this becomes constructive from the point of view of her inner evolution from the moment when the sense of her realities, which represent for her the truth, no longer seeks to be reached with her tensions and inner stress.
