Chiron – Pluto Square – Anxiety and Skepticism

The war between planets is expressed through a square. This is one of the difficult aspects, activated at moments of emotional shock or when circumstances form a sequence of obstacles. However, this does not mean they cannot be overcome. The native may have to fight throughout life, especially when complex planets are at war.

Chiron is always connected with wounds of the past, while Pluto emphasizes how destructive they can become if everything is left to take its course.

It is important for the person to possess both property and control over the destiny of other people. If Pluto is in the Second or Eighth House, the native heals their problems through financial manipulation; in other cases, through physical and emotional interference in other people’s affairs.

The Dangers of the Chiron – Pluto Square

The aspect creates constant anxiety about one’s life. Its influence is felt when an important goal appears ahead of the native, and the person is very afraid that something unforeseen will happen and prevent them from reaching it. In ordinary life, the person also does not welcome curiosity or interest in their affairs.

If there is a lot of Air in the horoscope, the person may treat life frivolously, but the Chiron – Pluto square literally blows up their carefree existence through encounters with death, catastrophes, and destruction, helping them rethink life and find their true calling. The point is that this very aspect requires the native to become a healer and serve collective interests.

This does not always mean choosing the profession of a doctor or rescue worker. The person can change the world around them and influence people’s destinies through a positive example rather than suppressing them through dictatorship.

In most cases, however, the square does not allow the native to feel Pluto’s power, or any attempt to strengthen it causes pain and suffering. Does the native want to become a boss? Then they will need to go through the envy and revenge of less successful colleagues. Do they strive to become wealthy? Poor relatives may appear and shame them, saying that “people in our family do not do such things.”

There are other problems of the Chiron – Pluto square as well:

• outsiders interfere with the fulfillment of goals, either intentionally or through the involuntary exposure of deeply hidden fears;
• excessive compliance with other people’s wishes and fears to the detriment of personal intentions: a mother fears that the child will be hurt, and the child gives up karate classes; or a friend talks the native out of financial investments because they themselves once failed, and the person loses a chance to multiply capital;
• the native’s happiness and success are always somewhat spoiled by envy, gossip, and the negative emotions of others;
• misunderstanding of personal power, ranging from a complete inability to feel and apply it to constant bitterness and groundless attacks on others;
• an inability to handle power: fear of high positions, conflicts with colleagues, and a large workload, but above all, vulnerability when faced with criticism and judgment.

Owners of the Chiron – Pluto square strive to control everything. This gives them at least some stability in the stormy world of other people’s emotions and reactions. However, it is precisely through stress and pain that deep fears are healed.

The Chiron – Pluto Square in Relationships

The aspect immerses the native in situations that make them boil with negative emotions: envy, jealousy, and anger. They meet partners who are filled with these feelings in excess or who provoke an adrenaline surge.

The worst part is that the person actually likes this. They experience a distorted pleasure in painful emotions, although their karmic task is to transform them into something positive, to understand the depth of pain, and to realize that life cannot be lived this way. Awareness of the nature of pain makes the owner of the Chiron – Pluto square incredibly wise. The person understands why people wound and offend one another, knows how to avoid this in relationships, and can help others leave the vicious circle of abuse and humiliation. At this stage, the native is a born psychotherapist and crisis manager.

If Pluto is in the Seventh House, the native must move to the level of wisdom through relationships with a powerful and even dangerous partner. They are attracted to very wealthy, authoritative tyrants of any gender, and the battle with them exposes both the native’s and the partner’s deep psychological wounds. If Chiron is in the Seventh House, then, on the contrary, the chart owner will become a guiding star, patron, or tormentor for a self-sacrificing partner.

Working Through the Pluto – Chiron Square

Unconsciously, the person tries to harmonize irritation through themes of power, death, and violence by attracting events connected with them, or by watching horror films, action films, and detective stories with many bloody details. Many have an attraction to black magic, which satisfies the need for control over the world and other people, but the price for this will be high.

Reality needs to be transformed through powerful but ethical tools: self-hypnosis, meditation, neurolinguistic programming, and Reiki, while working through oneself rather than trying to change others. As soon as the native understands that they themselves are the mirror in which the surrounding world is reflected, they will gain the desired power and control.

Good sources of positive energy for the native are smoky quartz, cat’s eye, tiger’s eye, and hawk’s eye.  ✓
