Mars – Pluto Sextile – Lord of the Universe

A sextile indicates favorable opportunities and prospects connected with the use of the planetary energies involved in the aspect. It also shows the character qualities that make success easier to achieve when expressed, as well as the field where talents can be applied. The reward comes to those who are worthy of it. Fate often tests a person with the Mars – Pluto sextile for loyalty to higher ideals.

Strong-willed and domineering, the native senses their hypnotic influence on others from an early age. The powerful energy of the planets gives the person the ability to reach any height, but with such a sense of permissiveness, there will be many temptations. The native may be capable of causing changes in the weather, using the forces of nature for personal gain, enchanting others, and enslaving them. On the dark side, the person becomes dangerous.

The Pros and Cons of the Mars – Pluto Sextile

When the planets are harmonious, decisiveness and powerful energy are directed toward fighting injustice, the vices of society, and helping the poor. At a high level of spirituality, the person devotes their life to helping the unfortunate. Such natives can become merciless fighters against crime, surgeons, technicians, coaches, trainers, and writers.

The courage of a person with the Mars – Pluto sextile borders on recklessness. Feeling connected to a stream of cosmic energy, the native truly seems as if protected from above and may come out unharmed from shootouts, fights, and fires. With a practical orientation of consciousness, such a person becomes a popular leader, president, or military commander. Napoleon Bonaparte is an example.

The combination of ambition and enthusiasm makes the native a selfless workaholic if the work interests them. If it does not, laziness and a forced, passive lifestyle may lead to psychological disturbances, bitterness, and aggression. Excess unused energy is best released through water sports, and to manage the colossal energy of the Mars – Pluto sextile, it is important to understand the pros and cons of the aspect:

• a strong psyche, enterprise, sensuality, dominance, and ambition;
• unusual creative abilities intended to transform people’s consciousness through shock, upheaval, and forced immersion into the dark depths of the unconscious;
• physical endurance that borders on the impossible: success in military service and sports;
• the ability to communicate easily with and control a huge audience, influencing the unconscious emotions of the crowd and directing them either into the right channel or onto the barricades;
• men are incredibly sexually attractive and active, while women are endowed with a tough, domineering character without the softness and charm traditionally associated with their sex;
• fame and popularity come in a field that evokes an emotional response in the soul;
• danger of violence and imprisonment from enemies or as a result of the native’s own aggression, especially if Pluto is in the Twelfth House.

When the aspect is in Fire signs and spiritual development is low, the person may become a bandit or drug lord. However, by destroying others, the native attracts retribution that is no less terrible.

Love Relationships with the Mars – Pluto Sextile

In a woman’s horoscope, this aspect carries a threat, because through demonstratively domineering and rough behavior, the woman herself attracts trouble. It is difficult for her to find a man stronger than herself, so she may treat the opposite sex with contempt and provoke quarrels. Lack of fear and confidence in impunity can come at a high price: rape and beatings sometimes occur precisely with this aspect.

By sublimating aggression into creativity and managing sexuality with dignity, such problems can be easily avoided. In a woman’s horoscope, the Mars – Pluto sextile sometimes indicates marriage to a popular person and elevation through a relationship with him, especially if one of the planets is in the Fifth or Seventh House.

A man with this aspect seeks a highly intellectual companion who is mysterious and inaccessible. He enjoys winning reciprocal sympathy and penetrating the secrets of the chosen woman, striving to know her true self. Despite crowds of admirers, he will love only the one who stands out from the masses. A woman with Venus in Scorpio, Aries, or Leo will seem the most attractive, because a person with the Mars – Pluto sextile wants to move together toward higher goals of power and wealth. Housewives and infantile young women are not his style.

A Child with the Mars – Pluto Sextile

The native’s childhood takes place under difficult conditions designed to reveal an understanding of inner strength, strengthen the will, or defeat adult enemies through decisiveness and hypnotic abilities. A favorable environment can sometimes create confidence in the child’s own power and make them relaxed. A child with the Mars – Pluto sextile understands early that they can convince teachers and classmates of almost anything.

In a negative expression, this may mean shifting blame onto others, using them in order to pass an exam successfully, or setting up someone weaker for entertainment. In a positive expression, it becomes a desire to punish aggressors, expose villains, and restore justice. It is advisable for the child to attend a medical club or a junior police school in order to direct the mind onto the right path. Sports will help transform negative emotions into positive ones. With a strong Sun, kickboxing and karate are suitable; with Jupiter dominant, Eastern martial arts with a philosophical foundation, such as kung fu and aikido, are better.  ✓
