Sun Conjunct Pluto

Nothing about this contact is moderate. The native possesses a density other people register within a few minutes and cannot account for, and they are either drawn in or quietly repelled. Indifference is not among the available responses. From childhood there is a sense of having been marked, usually by a family situation involving power, secrecy, illness or money, and the native learns to watch adults closely for what is not being said. That watching never switches off.

The will is the distinguishing feature. What is wanted is wanted completely, and the native will wait years for it without visible impatience, which is a formidable and slightly frightening capacity. Work of the investigative kind suits them, anything requiring a person to look at what others avoid. So does crisis. In an emergency they become calm and directive while everyone else is loud. In ordinary conditions the same intensity has nowhere to go and turns into brooding, control of small domestic matters, or a fixed grievance kept in good repair.

Because Pluto moves slowly, its conjunction to the Sun makes it a personal signature rather than a generational one, and the house it falls in tells where the whole life is concentrated. The pattern is repeated destruction and rebuilding: careers, beliefs and marriages ended completely rather than adjusted, each time with genuine conviction that this is the last one. What matures the contact is choosing where the force is applied instead of letting it apply itself. Unchosen, it corrodes whatever is nearest, most often the native's own body.
