Moon Pluto Aspect

As for Pluto-Moon aspects in my chart and emotional power, I would say that this is true. I feel myself becoming stronger and stronger now. I feel like I've passed some sort of 'test' and now am being granted the opportunity, after so much time spent in isolation and after so many conflicts, to learn how to be really have relationships with other people without being dependent on them and without giving them too much power. I've had to fight on my own, and now I'm going to learn (or at least feel like I'm starting to learn) how to be a part of a team--a real part, not just some extra piece that doesn't fit or isn't needed. I still struggle with some of the same difficulties, but I feel like I am becoming more and more able to cope with them and to recover more quickly when I feel upset emotionally. I feel like I've destroyed a lot of old connections/have had them destroyed and am now rebuilding some of them and building others for the first time. I feel like I'm in a transformation state right now (in a good way).

Moon trine Pluto(Pluto in 8th) Natal?

Is that aspect a curse or blessing? I can read minds, so much intensity, i am adrenaline freak, crisis make feel me alive!! I heard the keywords; gut instincts, survivors, crisis handlers, healers etc!!?

This is about the drive for emotional transformation - great emotional intensity; you need strong emotional commitment from your family and your emotional energy can be used constructively or destructively to achieve total emotional transformation. There's a strong possibility of strong psychic or healing abilities. Whether it's a curse or a blessing depends on how you use it. It would depend on your chart though

But when Pluto is connected to the Moon in the natal chart of a healthy person, we recognize that:

1) The individual's emotional nature is Plutonian. That is, he or she is potentially capable of extraordinary psychological self-scrutiny, not to mention scrutiny of others.

2) The individual's sense of well-being and happiness depend radically upon having outlets for that kind of intense, penetrating dialogue or experience.

3) The person's joy and vivacity are enhanced by encounters with anything verging into the territory of the taboo: deep psychology, but also occult investigations, explorations of death, or crime, or "low-life" subcultures — and anything that pertains to facing squarely the twin Plutonian philosophical problems: that of Evil and that of Catastrophe.

Such a person will instinctively seek out these kinds of experiences, and thereby nurture himself. He or she will also radiate a very particular kind of welcoming message into the world, specifically beckoning anyone who is passing through a Plutonian period.

What if a Moon-Pluto person is working at a less than optimal level? Here we observe a chronic "bad mood." There is typically a fundamental belief that "I am the victim of injustice, ill-luck, prejudice, history or poor parenting." There may even be some justification for such belief, but the point is that in sick Pluto-Moon interactions it becomes a lifestyle. Unconsciously, such an individual seeks to support his or her status as a victim by engineering more disasters to illustrate the point. There is a pronounced tendency here toward forming pathological associations with other dysfunctional types, giving them too much, losing any sense of boundaries or limits, and thereby setting oneself up for further betrayal.

THE SOFT NATAL ASPECTS

Faced with Plutonian realities, all of us get scared. It would be naive to say it any other way. So many people, for example, glibly profess to have no fear of death. Most, I suspect, are sincere; some may even be telling the truth. The majority, I speculate, will find their assurance and ease less pronounced the moment the doctor pronounces the fatal sentence or those oncoming headlights line up with the hood ornament.

Much that is truly frightening in life we must face alone. But not all of it. Sometimes help is available. It may not ultimately bail us out, but it can provide comfort, a steadying hand, wisdom. Trines and sextiles between the natal Moon and natal Pluto suggest the existence of that kind of nurturing assistance when we need it. Teachers and comforters are at hand; guides appear when we are lost — provided we are brave enough to admit that we are lost!

I emphasize the existence of earthy, human support during our Plutonian ordeals. But I must add that other, more etheric kinds of support are also suggested by this class of aspect: inner guides, angels, ancestral spirits, the Holy Spirit... serve yourself here from the basic cafeteria of words we monkeys use to speak authoritatively about what we understand so little.

Always, with trines and sextiles, there is a question: will we maintain sufficient self-awareness to use the opportunities these "good" aspects represent? The answer never lies in the birth chart. It lies in that far more uncertain realm we call Will and Freedom.

PLUTO-MOON EVENTS

When Pluto and the Moon interact through transits or progressions, the energy they represent is edgy and uncomfortable. The reason is very simple: the two bodies simply don't like each other very much. Pluto is hard, relentless, and demanding. Even brutal. The Moon, on the other hand, is the center of all our emotional sensitivity and vulnerability. So: the nerve-endings meet the dentist's drill, and it's not necessarily a happy rendezvous.

Which is not to say that it cannot lead to positive, life-enhancing outcomes. Even to ecstatic outcomes.

The key concept in Moon-Pluto events, at least at first, is moodiness. Material is surfacing from the substrata of the psyche... Plutonian material, which is to say, material that we have had reason to suppress or repress. It comes at us through the Moon, which means that we feel it before we think it — hence, the "moodiness" associated with these events. We are registering in our Moon/Mood some unsettling information that will change our course through life.

The information we are receiving can potentially enhance our happiness, since happiness is the nurturing Moon's domain — but many times the means to that end is that the data tells us what is making us unhappy.

Sometimes learning the source of our unhappiness is a very jarring experience.

If you are pretending to be happy in your job, your friendships, relationships, religion, whatever, a Pluto-Moon event will try to reveal that fact to you. This notion of "pretending to be happy" may seem odd and pointless, but many times we humans are willing to pay a terrible price simply to avoid rocking the boat. Should such a circumstance apply, when the Moon-Pluto contact occurs, an unnamed mood of discontent will arise. If you commit yourself to honesty and follow that mood where it leads you, you will learn what you need to know in order to restore a self-nurturing quality to your life. If you don't make that commitment and follow through on it, then you'll simply experience a rotten mood that peaks as long as the progression or transit lasts ...and then endures indefinitely as a dull, numb feeling — a "resolution to be dead," as a therapist friend of mine phrases it.

THE HARD MOVING ASPECTS

No one has ever been, or can ever expect to be, nurtured perfectly. Parents are only human. Communities are flawed. The Shadow makes itself felt sooner or later in every life. This is a truth, but a delicate one. On one hand, there is a temptation to say, "So quit your whining!" (But so easily that can degenerate into denial and avoidance...) On the other hand, there is the toxic-psychologist's exhortation that we reduce our lives to a resentful meditation upon our wounds. (And given life's richness and brevity, isn't that a foolish waste?)

Steering the middle passage between those two extremes is the art of gracefully navigating hard Moon-Pluto contacts. As is typically the case with this class of event, we are under pressure, both internal and external, to deal with those dimensions of the Self which have been wounded by poor nurturing, bad or absent mentoring, and tender betrayals. Dramas unfold; knowledge of the houses and signs involved will specify them. Anger often rises up virulently— and necessarily. Beneath the anger, if we are brave enough to look, is an awful, empty pain. And beneath the pain is a set of long-dimmed needs and desires, blunted years ago by frustration or worse, but still viable! We can recover them, and seize deeper levels of fulfillment from our present life than were available formerly when the wound was inflicted on us. And that is the point.
