Pluto's sign belongs to a whole cohort; the fifth house is where this native's compulsion is actually spent. It is spent on desire. Romance here is not a pastime — it is an involvement that reorganises the life, entered with total commitment and ended with something closer to bereavement. The native attracts, and is attracted by, people who bring upheaval with them, and a placid affection registers as no affection at all.
Creative work carries genuine force. The native makes things that disturb people, drawing on material other artists decline to open, and the work is either powerful or nothing, since the placement cannot produce anything merely decorative. The making costs. Such natives are compelled to create rather than choosing to, and a period without an outlet turns the same drive on the nearest available relationship.
The cost is the intensity that pleasure was never designed to carry. Gambling and risk are pursued past the point of enjoyment, in pursuit of a sensation that keeps requiring a larger stake. Children are loved fiercely and controlled unconsciously, the native shaping them with a force they would deny using. And the fear of losing what is loved produces exactly the grip that eventually loses it.
