Astro Gradual, unlocking your Cosmic heartbeat

Sun opposition Pluto

The Sun opposition Pluto in birth charts impacts the relationships individuals are being involved in. Those born during this transit seem to have a war going inside of them, which can lead them to conflict with others and self-destruction. As a matter of fact, they can be destructive with other people as well. Pluto is the planet of death and luckily of rebirth as well. Natives having it in opposition with the Sun in their birth chart may be terrified of both these life aspects, as well as failing. To perfect themselves, they need to go through many transformations and to express their identity creatively. As a matter of fact, fate will always surprise them in many ways. In case they’re not feeling very good about themselves or are facing problems with their studies or work, it becomes necessary for them to make some changes. People born during the Sun opposition Pluto aspect have a strong need for displaying their ego. Strong, willful and secretive about their personal issues, they want to make others believe they’re these perfect creatures, in control of everyone and everything. Having high demands from themselves and wanting their loved ones to think highly of their actions and behavior, they can’t cope with negativity and may even end up in crises because of this. Accepting that things aren’t all the time going as planned and seem imperfect, they can overcome the darkness in their life, which can be anything from a domineering and manipulative behavior to stalking others and being jealous. They can have all of these feelings themselves or the people in their life may. When change arrives into their sentimental life, they may have a feeling that death is haunting them, but never without the hope of rebirth. They’re feeling the influence of destiny very strongly and tend to express themselves in the most profound ways. Some believe in fate, others don’t, but astrologers are advocating it as very important, mysterious, as well as something left to sudden changes. For this reason, people born during the Sun opposition Pluto transit are often being influenced by forces coming from outside and over which they’re not having any control whatsoever.

Sun opposition Pluto

Sun opposition Pluto born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Pluto are prone to inner tension and negative, self-destructive behavior. When things are going well, they suffer from fears that something will come along to change that. Their thought patterns can be negative, and if not kept in check, they can seriously undermine their happiness. Constantly worrying that the rug will be pulled from under their feet can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sun-Pluto have tremendous power and strength–when they learn to accept and use that strength, instead of fear it, they are some of the most effective, insightful, helpful, and healing people around! One of the most prominent characteristics of these aspects is the tendency to be intensely dissatisfied with their personal accomplishments and expressions of self. These people put a lot of pressure on themselves regarding their own endeavours. A child, for example, with a challenging Sun-Pluto aspect may work hard at a piece of artwork, decide it’s not right, destroy it, and start all over again. This same child will be especially disturbed if they feel people are watching as they create their artwork.

Natives born during the Sun opposition Pluto aspect can also be arrogant, too ambitious and overwhelming. When rebelling too much, they can put themselves in danger by acting aggressively. It can sometimes be very difficult for them to use their energy positively. These people are also using their energy out of impulsiveness, especially if they’re looking to make a change in the world. They’re very skilled managers, but only if learning to compromise first. Possessing tremendous strength and being too straightforward from time to time, they can act too violently when it comes to the bedroom. For this reason, they should be tempered and moderate when it comes to the connections they’re having with others. It’s hard for them to express themselves because they seem to live all the time in tension and to block some of the important traits of their personality. It’s very likely for people born during the Sun opposition Pluto transit to be challenged extremely, not to mention they can be important political figures or opinionated social activists. The opposition between the Sun and Pluto in their birth chart can be wounded when it comes to their sense of self because the solar light reflected by Pluto can incorporate all of Pluto’s dark energies, addressing their relationship with death, rebirth, transformation and sexual urges. These people can be saddened by a very intricate and even painful connection with their father. All this can be related to the fact that they’re hunted by their shadows of a domineering behaviour, and obsession with being in control. The energy of Pluto is intensely felt by those having this planet in opposition with the Sun, mostly because they’re emotional and can immediately get attached to a person or situation that seems important to them.

Sun opposition Pluto natal creates an intense struggle to express your strong ego safely. Being such a powerful, determined and private person, you may go to extreme lengths to ensure others see you as a perfect human being, totally in control of yourself and all around you. If you believe you don’t meet your high standards or that others think less of you, dissatisfaction can lead to negative behaviour or a crisis. It is most often through interpersonal relationships that this struggle is fought. Starting as an internal battle often leads to conflict with others, self-sabotage, or some other destructive process. The Pluto theme of death and rebirth runs deep in your soul, and you may have an intense fear of death, resurrection, failure, and the process of change. Transformation is needed to perfect yourself or some creation you see as expressing your identity. Change and transformation will be a constant in your life. If your self-image, homework, or productivity at work is not perfect, you must change to improve. Accepting change and imperfection is most important so you can evolve out of the darker sides of this challenging aspect. This darker side can include stubbornness, domination, manipulation, possessiveness, jealousy, and spying. You may experience this in yourself or through friends, family, and partners. Your strong need for deep understanding and the truth are complemented by your talents for research and investigation, uncovering secrets, and sometimes occult or psychic ability. These assets are your tools for transformation, to evolve out of the darkness of suspicion and mistrust, conflict and aggressiveness, or self-destruction through addictions such as opiates. You may experience a significant crisis in your life that forces your hand to make a substantial change. Even then, there will still be more change in your life. This is a lifelong process because of an inner need to work hard and aim for perfection. At a particular evolutionary stage, you reach a point of great satisfaction and comfort with your self-image and how you express your power. You have a great potential to wield your power safely and productively, leading to an influential position of authority or leadership. You leave a profound impact on others with the ability to heal through your deep insights.

Rarely are Sun-Pluto people completely satisfied with themselves. They are especially sensitive to criticism, and feel the need to “redo” themselves often. There is a marked fear of losing control, and this might stem from some traumatic event in childhood, or the childhood might have been crisis-ridden or emotionally-charged in general. This is a simple example, but it’s quite descriptive of the tendency for these people to be dissatisfied with their creative self-expressions, and to want to hide their expressions from others until they feel the output is “right”. This is largely due to a perceived inability to express or reveal their true personalities to others. They experience a simultaneous urge to express themselves and to hide themselves. They struggle with a deep need to control themselves and life itself. As such, these people are often intensely fearful of, or threatened by, change. This can express itself through attempts to control their lives such that they can manage their fears of being taken off guard. Of course, this generally backfires! Another characteristic of these aspects is an intense need for privacy. They fear being exposed or invaded. Again, this is an expression of their dissatisfaction with the self they are projecting, and they are generally uncomfortable with their evolving ego. They seem to undergo many identity crises, and they feel the need to control what others know about them and think about them. Their fear of exposing themselves might cause them problems with others, who may begin to mistrust them, presuming that if they are so protective of their privacy, they must have something sinister to hide. The truth is, they struggle with a dissatisfaction with themselves and their fear of being exposed is really about a fear of being vulnerable, as well as a manifestation of their own identity crisis. These people are quick to read between the lines. They need to be careful, however, to avoid reading negative or dark things into situations or people. They need to know that if their tendency is to hunt for dark “truths” rather than unbiased truths, this is a self-destructive behavior that stems from fear. Many people with these aspects are overly attached to things, habits, people, and their past. At the root of this is an intense fear of change that would threaten to make them vulnerable. Still, Pluto’s goal is to transform through change. Inevitably, Sun-Pluto people will have to face their fear of change and accept that they need change in order to grow.

Sun opposition Pluto are forced to confront theeir dark, irrational side, and integrate it into their personalities

Sun opposition Pluto in the birth chart can make them feel overwhelmed with its strength and desires, leading to feelings of frustration and to them having a confrontational behavior. Wanting to understand the truth in a very profound manner, they’re talented at discovering secrets and investigating other people’s lives by using their psychic abilities among other things. As a matter of fact, they’re using them for their personal transformations, also for escaping any dark suspicions, violent, self-destructive, addictive behaviours, and their issues when it comes to trusting others. They may go through one big crisis in life and have to make important changes to improve the situation. This will attract new opportunities for them, but they’ll experience the process over a lifetime, having to work hard and struggle for perfection. While evolving, they may become so satisfied with themselves and their appearance that they no longer hesitate to express their power. These people know how to use their energy safely and productively, meaning they can easily obtain a position of authority at work. Usually impacting others in a very deep way, they’re insightful and capable of understanding the human psyche very well. The opposition between the Sun and Pluto is often present in the birth charts of those who believe in fate and are becoming more and more conscious of their power.

We all have a dark, irrational side, but people with Sun opposition Pluto are forced to confront it and integrate it into their personalities. It can be a challenging process, especially because the Sun rules all that is “light” – the rational, conscious mind. The Sun is noble and righteous by nature. Aligned with Pluto, it can have a hard time accepting the darker, intense, and often irrational Pluto energies into one cohesive whole. This is the challenge that Sun-Pluto face. If these people find themselves using manipulative tactics to get their way, or attempting to control others through subversive tactics, it is a clear cue that they are mishandling Pluto energies. It is a powerful indication that their self-image is low. There is little satisfaction derived from getting our way through manipulation. It only serves to make us feel less effective in the long run and on a personal level. If I were to win a favour by using subversive tactics, what will it prove to me? It will reinforce my feeling that I am not effective just by being myself. And, effectiveness is something Sun-Pluto craves. Especially with the opposition, these people might attract manipulative, possessive, or jealous people into their lives. With the square, there is more of a tendency to attract dangerous or upsetting situations in the life. Either way, these people need to get in touch with the reason why they are attracting these people and situations. In all likelihood, they are not handling their own fears effectively, and they feel they are not in control of their lives, and a looping pattern is thereby created. They eventually come to realize that they are very strong people with enormous resilience. They need to identify with, face, and accept their “dark” side. Self-acceptance is the key to handling this aspect. Channeling Pluto energy into constructive channels is also important.

When Pluto is opposition the sun in the natal chart, this aspect creates tension between your deeply felt inner purpose and with the external relationships you form to help you with its actualization. You are ambitious, but will need to learn balance in pursuing personal growth. Your experiences will make you keenly aware of power dynamics within your surrounding society. At key points in your life, you will be pulled within to explore hidden aspects of yourself that will dredge up subconscious desires and fears. It will be necessary for you to confront and integrate. You will be drawn to form intense relationships with others who represent aspects of your core purpose, and through shared intimacy or penetrating dialogue you will expose essential aspects of your inner desire, as well as develop greater growth through osmosis. As you cultivate your capacity for self-realization and understanding your internal motivations, you will also gain increased capacity for being a source of empowerment to others in your relationships.

Sun Opposition Pluto suggests that most of your problems and challenges will arise in the area of interpersonal relationships, often created or stimulated by your own unconscious expression of this energy, which requires a deeper understanding and inner adjustment to be achieved before you can consistently benefit from its power. Your temperament can be assertive, aggressive and extremist, tending to use your powerful will like a sledgehammer to achieve objectives. You prefer to force situations so that you are ready to take the advantage before anyone else can or will act through impulse without fully considering the consequences of following your desires and aims. To others, your will and personality can seem a little overbearing, provocative and dominating, especially as you always prefer to be in control of all situations, and hate to feel unsure of your ground or realize there is nothing you can do to influence circumstances in your favour. This is why you desire to be in a position of authority, calling the tune and writing the rules, yet are so rebellious when roles are reversed; you then use your influence to be subversive and manipulate others to resist authority. You will feel a desire to change the world into your image, reflecting the way that you think it should be. As virtually everyone else is attempting the same in small or large ways, inevitably you may experience conflict with others who do not agree with your panacea for the world's ills. If you attempt to dictate to people, by forceful expression, you may easily fail to get the right kind of support and co-operation, especially if it is made clear that you intend to be the kingpin and final arbiter. The problem with dominating and forceful personalities is that usually they insist on having their own way, and are rarely, if ever, wrong. This usually ends in relationship conflict which leads to their more creative supporters quitting, leaving behind 'mere followers' who remain with the 'leader' in sycophantic acquiescence. Without proper awareness and understanding, these tendencies can become negatively expressed, eventually to your detriment. Yet equally they can become extremely positive qualities to be used in socially creative ways once excess self-interest is transcended, and you move towards the higher solar path of your individuality rather than just satisfying lower egoic needs and desires. You will need to undergo a period of self-regeneration, to acknowledge the needs of others to be themselves, not as mere adjuncts to your dictates, but people equally able and right to assert themselves. More harmonious and successful relationships are possible, especially when your need for self-assertion diminishes through self-understanding and confidence in your own worth. This can involve learning to be self-reliant in achieving your own aims, rather than having to manipulate others into unconsciously aiding your private intentions. Inner changes leading to a less aggressive attitude and less suspicion in working with others, more co-operation to achieve mutual goals, and a degree of compromise in your attitudes, will certainly bring more benefit to you and others. Gaining an understanding of the elements present in your psychology which desire for you to become an authority and leader can help to bring about an inner adjustment, and an ability to work with others can then emerge.
