Pluto does not destroy. It erases everything that’s fake, so that you can finally meet your true self.
Once upon a time, this planet filled me with fear, and over time, I became even more afraid of it. But one day, I decided to take a step forward and start working on my shadow sides - without realising it, I had set foot on a path with Pluto. Later, an astrologer told me that from 2016 to 2051, my Pluto is moving through my first house of self. Then everything became clear to me.
I began to understand why I was no longer satisfied with how I looked and how I lived; why I started losing interest in things that used to matter to me; why I began consciously (and even more often, unconsciously) trying to change my life, my habits, and at the same time the world around me, using every means available. As my astrologer said, after Pluto enters the first house, life is split into “before” and “after.” These deep transformations of the personality can bring about events that aren’t always comfortable for the ego - but they are always changes for the better.
And that’s exactly how it happened. The only thing was, I understood that it was for the better as I went through it, seeing the cause-and-effect behind everything.
After I started working with the archetype, areas of my life began to change. To put it bluntly, they began to fall apart. Things came up for healing that I never thought would surface. I had to work on the places that hurt the most. On top of that, the topic of finances was deeply affected.
A lot started to crumble. Even more unusual was that the energy of Pluto I had activated triggered transformations in the people I interacted with, including those close to me. Within a month, two cars got scratched, my wife injured her arm and leg, and literally everything started slipping out of her hands.
The dishwasher broke, and so did the induction hob. On top of that, emotional swings began. And all of that in less than a month. I managed to keep my inner balance, but it was impossible not to notice what was happening around me. At some point, I even wanted to pause the work with the archetype, but I thought that everything has its time, and if it’s happening, then it’s necessary. But the work was reaching very deep layers of information, bringing up difficult energies to process.
Of course, being a straightforward person, I thought, “If we’re going to transform, then let’s really transform,” and I added the Pluto archetype to the Ancestral Transmission folder for myself and my wife. I won’t even mention that my mum, dad and wife also got sick during this period. My parents handled it quite well, but my wife had no idea what was happening to her - why she felt so tired, wanted to cry, and felt so awful.
On top of everything, I had to dive deeper into healing ancestral patterns and the issue of finances. I didn’t think so much would come up, but since it did, it meant that it needed to be addressed. Working with Pluto felt like having an inner knowing of what to do, where to go, and what fields I needed for it.
I started noticing that even a simple word from me could trigger transformations in others. It’s as if the person already knew what needed to be done (because they had read or heard it dozens of times), but only after talking to me did they start taking action - and they were grateful that I reminded them of the basics.
By the way, my Pluto is in Libra in the ninth house. In this sign, the planet is weakened. This placement gives rise to revolutionary figures who break down dogmas in people’s minds - which sounds a lot like the truth.
If I had to describe in one sentence what I gained from working with the Pluto archetype, it would be a state of incredible invincibility. Right now, it’s hard for me to imagine a situation where I would be afraid of something or couldn’t handle it. I feel like I can enter any crisis and come out of it with something far more valuable than before. I don’t know how to explain it, but you develop fearlessness towards death, power and darkness - because now I know that after the toughest periods of self-work, rebirth always follows.
After working with the archetype, my need for control dropped to a minimum. I trust myself and my own strength. I realise that I myself am becoming the force that cleanses, transforms and renews. And according to my birth chart, my purpose is directly connected to Pluto and transformation. I’ve always felt completely at home in any crisis. Sometimes I even thought that I created those crises myself in order to transform along with them.If I’m being completely honest, I’ve grown a bit tired of all this.
Over the last few days, I’ve stopped working with the Pluto archetype and started working with the archetypes of Venus and the Moon. Oh my God, Venus is wonderful. It gives a sense of lightness, pleasure, playfulness… It’s such a contrast to my core archetypes - Pluto, Saturn and Mars - that it’s just wow.
