North (South) Node – Pluto Sextile – Creation or Destruction

The Lunar Nodes are hypothetical points, symbols that show the level of past karma and the future goal, in striving toward which the native works through the sins of previous incarnations. By themselves, they are neutral, but an aspect to a planet makes it clear that its qualities must be developed or corrected in order to fulfill the karmic task. Although the sextile has a favorable meaning, it does not work constantly like a trine; it needs to be activated by deliberately working on the higher level of the planet.

Pluto also symbolizes the collective karma of the family line, more often connected with deep subconscious attitudes passed down from generation to generation. The native needs to learn how to interact properly with authorities or lead people themselves, without falling into tyranny or anarchy.

The Karma of Pluto’s Sextile to the Ascending and Descending Nodes

Holders of this aspect need to pay special attention to the history of their family line. A sextile to the most mysterious and least studied planet can provide an unlimited hidden resource for achieving goals, provided that the person correctly understands its energy as it applies specifically to them.

The aspect suggests that certain talents of the person will help them gain power and fame in the matters of the House where Pluto is located.

If Pluto is sextile the Ascending (North) Node, Rahu, then the person will have to study this new sphere from scratch. In a past life, they may have been oppressed and prevented from developing in this direction. Their ancestors likely went through the same difficulties and trials. They were not able to fully master the Plutonian talents in the House where the planet is located, but they tried to do so in the most ethical way possible, for the benefit of people. In this incarnation, they are given a chance to achieve even greater success along Pluto’s line. Holders of this aspect can succeed in psychotherapy, plastic surgery, physics, esotericism, and any transformational field. They need to prepare for this, because the person receives a second chance at the first Saturn return, around the age of twenty-seven to twenty-nine.

Pluto’s sextile to the Descending (South) Node, Ketu, is a difficult trial. On the one hand, the person already knows how to use power and quickly remembers Plutonian talents. On the other hand, such an aspect is a sign of the negative application of discoveries, not for development, but for destruction. The Higher Powers will test the native’s intentions. Every time they want to gain significance and realize ambitions in the House where Pluto is located, obstacles will arise, their plans will be attacked by ill-wishers, and with the money they receive, they will immediately be offered the chance to organize something criminal and destructive.

The further development of events will depend on the native themselves and on how resistant they are to the temptations of the dark side. If the person rejects destructive and dark desires in their essence, even if from the outside they may look quite respectable, then at the first Saturn return they will be given the opportunity to gain fame, power, and wealth again, but this time for the benefit of society.

Talents and Opportunities of Pluto’s Sextile to the Ascending Node

The holder of this aspect may be very surprised when they read that they were born to change the world through the power of their abilities. At first, they do not seem like a superhero, unless, of course, the Sun, Mars, Saturn, and Venus aspects are already strongly expressed in their chart. With an abundance of negative aspects, they need to draw their inner resource back out from the depths of the subconscious, and external circumstances help them do this, though not in the most familiar way.

Holders of Pluto in the Second or Eighth House would never have discovered the talent of a financier within themselves if they had not been born into a poor family or experienced the collapse of a business at the very beginning of their path. Pluto leads the person toward the revelation of talents and the awakening of ancestral memory through crises. It is possible that the native’s ancestors also went through dispossession or complete ruin and then were able to recover. If they did not cope, then the person faces an even more important task: to save the resource of their family line through self-realization and success in the Houses where Pluto and the North Node are located.

It is important to identify which talents were especially vividly expressed in the family history and to develop them in order to change one’s own life and the destinies of other people.

Talents and Opportunities of Pluto’s Sextile to the Descending Node

The South Node, Ketu, always slows down or blocks the energy of the planets with which it forms an aspect. However, there are loopholes. The native can also succeed in psychology, politics, medicine, physics, criminology, and law if they give more than they receive.

In a past life, they often monetized their privileged position in dishonest ways, so now they must not take bribes, engage in shadow business, or conceal taxes under any circumstances, especially if the Second and Eighth House axis is involved. As compensation, it is important to help people simply for the sake of helping, especially those who have despaired of receiving help from law enforcement structures.

In any case, the native will want to occupy a position involving power and influence over people again. But if they follow the path of pride and revel in a sense of their own importance, the South Node will begin the process of destroying all their achievements. Holders of Pluto’s sextile to the South Node need to take the brightest and best from family talents and traditions and help those around them on this basis. ✓
