Pluto – Ascendant Sextile – Goodness Beneath a Dark Magician’s Cloak

Despite the beneficial influence of the most favorable aspect in the horoscope, the volcanic essence of Pluto, when it comes into contact with the Ascendant, creates an aura of dark, infernal charm. All fateful events in life will be connected with secrets, upheavals, catastrophes, the study of the subconscious, and working with it. Stressful events affect the native only indirectly, serving as a trigger for the awakening of magic in the soul and the realization of what immense power this person can command, changing the course of events and the destinies of other people.

From childhood, while searching for destiny, the native with the Pluto – Ascendant sextile finds it with crystal clarity precisely on the edge of life and death, though not necessarily their own. Death, as transformation, does not frighten this person; instead, it awakens the desire to become a guide between the hidden and visible worlds. The native must avoid the temptation to force people to obey their will through hypnosis and spells, because this comes easily, but it damages karma. The more selflessness there is, the better the destiny becomes.

The Influence of the Pluto – Ascendant Sextile on Destiny

By choosing the side of light, the native becomes the master of life, equally understanding the structure of both the dark and heavenly sides of the universe. This will not happen if the person remains among practitioners of dark magic. Sooner or later, such figures appear nearby, sensing the native’s great potential for power. They may be hypnotists, psychotherapists, or psychics with selfish intentions, accustomed to using people’s fears for personal enrichment and looking for a student. This must be understood while cultivating resistance to material temptations.

Outwardly, a man or woman with the Pluto – Ascendant sextile is incredibly attractive, mysterious, and may seem almost like an extraterrestrial being whose secrets one desperately wants to uncover. There is something dark about the native: the color of the eyes, hair, or skin; or something fiery, if there are aspects to Mars. This person knows their own worth, and although the native does not strive to be the center of attention, a high position in society provides the necessary comfort and peace of mind. Therefore, useful connections are formed from youth, not through fawning or pleasing others, but through calmly asserting the right to power and wealth.

Other characteristic features of this aspect:

• intelligence, wide-ranging erudition, remarkable concentration, and memory;
• the ability to keep feelings under control, even to the point of complete outward composure, while in reality there is a volcano of passions within the soul;
• a desire to change the world and the people around for the better, sometimes by imposing a personal worldview;
• decisiveness and self-confidence;
• interest in questions of death, magic, crime, and the dark side of the psyche, which may be expressed through books, films, and the choice of profession: criminologist, investigator, detective, lawyer, or forensic pathologist;
• money as a means of controlling reality, while luxury is a natural environment for comfortably engaging in activities that interest the native.

The brightest manifestation of these qualities occurs if Pluto or the Ascendant is in Scorpio or Aries. Any rise in the life of the native with this aspect will be preceded by temptation and an encounter with the shadow side of the self. With the right choice, success and wealth are assured.

Love and Marriage with the Pluto – Ascendant Sextile

A man or woman with this sextile loves deeply, faithfully, and passionately. As a rule, this person is devoted to one love, but the Plutonian thirst for dominance manifests through jealousy, a desire to control the thoughts and actions of the chosen partner, and possessiveness. However, since the aspect is favorable, the native is able to control destructive feelings.

Such feelings break through to the surface only when Venus and Mars are in Fire signs. If Pluto is in the Seventh House or Eighth House, the life partner will contribute to the spiritual and career transformation of the native with this sextile.

The native may come to understand what they truly want to do in life, or may gain an understanding of religion as the foundation of their worldview.

The loss of a spouse is experienced painfully, because this person believes that marriages are made in heaven and often does not wish to bind their fate to anyone else, feeling a close connection with the beloved even in the subtle world.

Sexual harmony plays a central role alongside spiritual unity, so the native is drawn to people with Mars and Venus in Scorpio, Leo, and Aries. However, compatibility with Water signs is higher than with Fire signs.

Strengthening the Pluto – Ascendant Sextile with Talisman Stones

The native with this aspect always has many enemies. Most often, they possess magical knowledge and may try to cause harm on the subtle plane. The protection of the sextile works until about the age of thirty; afterward, much depends on the native’s spiritual development. It is recommended to visit a church or read prayers daily. In business, envious people and ill-wishers also appear, because the protection of influential figures and the ability to attract finances like a magnet irritate less fortunate colleagues. Properly chosen talisman stones can perform a protective function, taking into account Pluto’s placement in a particular element:

Fire – red tourmaline, garnet, hematite, vanadinite;

Water – alexandrite, black diamond and pearl, volcanic glass;

Earth – bull’s eye, obsidian, brown garnet, sultanite;

Air – hawk’s eye, smoky quartz, vesuvianite.

Protective jewelry is recommended to be set in a dark-colored metal, such as oxidized silver, and worn on the index finger. Large minerals work especially well, but it is not recommended to wear them every day.  ✓
