Pluto opposition Midheaven

Born with Pluto opposition Midheaven, your early childhood experiences will have an unusually strong effect upon your whole life. One parent in particular will be very important to you, and it is essential that that parent's influence be for the good. The problem is that the energies resulting from your early childhood experiences operate at a very deep inner level, probably unconsciously, so that they affect your life in ways that are difficult to understand. Negative experiences in childhood may give rise to fears, which bring about compulsive behaviour patterns and bad habits. You might not even be aware of these fears, but if you understood them consciously, they would be less difficult. On the other hand, attitudes that you pick up from your elders may seriously limit your ability to make judgments on the basis of your experiences. Be very wary about acquiring any prejudices, and always question your beliefs so that you know they are helping your life rather than hindering it. One of your parents may try to exert too great an influence over you, even when you have outgrown the need for it. That parent must recognize each new stage of your life and let go of you a bit at each stage. If he or she tries to control you too much for too long, your psychological development could be seriously slowed down. Of course, good influences from that parent will also have a very powerful positive effect on your whole life. It is simply that the bond with that parent is very strong, which can have both good and bad long-term effects upon your development.

With Pluto opposition Midheaven, you have strong desires to explore your inner world of emotions and unconscious forces. You feel the emotions of your environment intensely, and you possess a strong creative potency. You are able to channel subconscious feelings through your external expression and work. You are drawn toward reforming the roots of your family, ancestors, or homeland in some way. Working with old lineages will bring healing into the present. It is important for you to build a strong foundation and home base in which you can ground, recenter, and launch your work into the world. You are ambitious in terms of developing work that is personally meaningful to you. This is more so meaningful than working toward the external goals of money and fame. You may be drawn to engage in healing modalities that help people gain awareness for unconscious messages and to recover from past trauma.

Pluto opposition Midheaven makes you an intensely driven and resourceful person. It suggests that dramatic events in your childhood, ancestry, and previous lives are deeply ingrained in your subconscious. These experiences shape your life for good or bad, depending on other aspects to your Midheaven and your early experiences. It is likely that you had an especially significant relationship with one particular parent, probably your mother. This parent may have been overly emotional, interfering, absent, or cruel. If this was the case, the early emotional trauma would make it difficult for you to form healthy relationships. However, if this parent was supportive and emotionally nourishing, your early experience would form the basis of a very successful life. Past life experiences etched in your soul memory may also profoundly affect your life. If they involve abuse of power, loss, or violence, they could result in fear, paranoia, self-destructive habits, and obsessions. But it is also possible that you have spent lifetimes acquiring unique skills and talents, and these will enable you to master your power and lead a meaningful life. A mix of positive and challenging early experiences usually leads to a complex personality with intense inner life. You may have difficulty understanding your feelings; at times, they become so severe they affect your decision-making. Especially when young, you may prefer your own company and confide in only one or very few people. You must develop independently of your parents. Too much negative influence and interference in your life from anyone can lead to emotional dependence on friends and partners, parochialism and prejudice. Sometimes you are both very empathetic and confrontational. But your wonderful memory of people and their lives is a real asset.

Pluto opposition Midheaven makes you an intensely driven and resourceful person

Natives of Pluto opposition Midheaven resist committing to career options which require you to focus your power and concentration on a single path. As much as you may feel drawn to succeed in a certain career, you will chase your dreams in circles until you have thoroughly distracted yourself rather than focusing on what you want and applying your energy to achieving it. You may feel insecure about your ability to follow through. You are determined and self sufficient and you also resist any career path which requires you to be at the mercy of another authority. You may think you know the best way to get the job done, yet you are likely to back down from opportunities to take initiative and enact your plans, insisting instead that it is someone else’s duty but then becoming oppositional when others try to exert authority. When you are tired of being a ‘backseat driver’ in your own career you will have the opportunity to focus your energy on your ambitions and follow your passion. If you learn to collaborate and not take everything as a personal battle of wills you will be much more successful.

Pluto opposition Midheaven aspect places immense focus on your childhood and early upbringing, especially on your connection with family and mother-figure. Either you had an extremely controlling childhood, or you had a neglected upbringing, experiences relating to your past, especially your childhood (even your past lives) shape your world view and how you see yourself as a member of the society. Even the most positive experiences may have left you feeling overwhelmed, like an overbearing parent's affection, for example, or you grew up shouldering everyone's immense expectations for you. As a result, you could have developed extreme coping mechanisms, being defensive/offensive, or avoiding conflict altogether.  You might work your way up to the peak but be dragged down by the smallest of criticisms or even unnecessary confrontations. (Especially with other aspects/placements backing this up). If you're not careful, you could easily become disliked by the public/professionally for your defensive and rude ways of handling stress, conflicting opinions, etc. You are extremely resourceful and work hard at every path you choose, yet you might often find yourself obsessing over them but eventually see them slipping through your fingers, if you don't pay attention to your self-destructive behaviors. All of which stemming from your early life experiences, hence inner child work, etc. will help you release any type of resentment you may have subconsciously built up without realizing. Your patience, especially with yourself will reflect on how you interact with others. Since this aspect directly aspects the MC - the most important point in the chart, your actions, words and intentions will always be in question, and you will have to gain a good amount of insight & wisdom to answer to the world without feeling offended since many people actually might like you & your work way more than you know, and your defensive behavior might be the barrier keeping them out. You might also change directions in careers every now and then, but your passion & drive will help you reach success in the end.
