Mars Square Pluto

Mars square: The razor with which the writer sharpens his style should not be used to shred cabbage. A Mars square gives planetary expressions roughness, a disharmonious force that destroys its principle in all but the most subtle manifestations. This destruction occurs both in the inner and outer world, and if the person does not oppose it with something sufficiently strong, the consequences are inevitable. Karma-wise, a Mars square means a prohibition on direct, immediate energetic expression of the planetary principle (which never turns out harmonious or constructive) and a demand to work through its higher octave. At the same time, the person is internally very drawn to the spheres governed by the planet; some force pulls him there, and his opinion of his abilities (and often achievements) in these spheres can be very high, though failures and disappointments will not be long in coming. At a low level, this person can sometimes be dangerous to others in the spheres of the planet, but he himself is always in the greatest danger. With a Mars square, the law of karma, which punishes the introduction of disharmony into the world, acts energetically and often quite swiftly (though sometimes the backlash strikes only the inner world of the person, in whose soul destruction occurs, which may go unnoticed by others, except that the person’s general level sharply declines, i.e., he degenerates). In inner life, this aspect offers the possibility of significant growth, awareness of one’s crudest subconscious programs, including almost animal instincts, which in this case are represented very vividly and distinctly—especially when the planet is activated—and their transformation into a more civilized and acceptable form, i.e., a shift to energies of higher vibrations. Working through the aspect allows the person to engage with the planet on lower energies while revealing subtleties of its principle that would otherwise remain inaccessible. The person will know all about the destructive force of the planet in its lower octave, which will give him an understanding of its manifestations in others and the ability to help them work through its principle, especially in curbing their lower nature in the relevant spheres; however, he will never fully master the free flow of its vibrations at a low level. Thus, a Mars–Venus square may produce a refined libertine or an excellent sexologist, but this person will never become a sexual giant. Pluto square: Angelic wings grow where the cross of fate has chafed. The influence of a Pluto square manifests as a certain discomfort for the person regarding the sacrifices that fate will demand of him in the sphere of the planet; at least, this is how it will seem to him. He must reconcile himself to the idea that these sacrifices will be demanded at an inopportune moment and will entail unpleasant consequences of a seemingly unnecessary and pointless nature—but such is, alas, the nature of this karmic program. A Pluto square is the aspect of Job, though fortunately not always as extreme. The manifestations of the planetary principle in the outer world will sharply displease the person, and he will feel compelled to impose order in this regard, for which he will need corresponding power. The intent of karma, however, is exactly the opposite: to bring purity and order to the sphere of the planetary principle within the person’s inner world and subconscious, which requires him to gain mastery over his instincts and lower desires related to the planet. Until the person realizes this, he will repeatedly face heavy sacrifices and fate pursuing him to the extent that he provokes it—whether consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or accidentally, from the best or worst motives. The essential point is that in the sphere of the planet, the person acts like a magnifying glass, sharply highlighting his (and others’) minimal imperfections and flaws. This aspect offers great opportunities for inner development and self-purification, while at the same time producing black teachers of a dictatorial type in the world—those who destroy low and average manifestations of the planetary principle in the outer world by force, fire, and sword, leaving only the most refined (which go unseen) or, at times, simply ashes. At an average level, the person’s behavior is characterized by harshness with elements of crude domineering and nihilism toward others, combined with a desire to master the planetary principle himself. Internally, the person very much wants to present the world with his ideal, but this simply does not work out, or (in the person’s view) the world is simply not advanced enough and thus incapable of recognizing the perfection revealed to it.

They are associated with extreme aggressiveness and a pronounced tendency toward violence. Such a person always moves forward in everything, boldly renouncing the past for future victories. It is crucial for them to learn to control their innate tendency to dominate others. When angry, they resort to physical violence without hesitation. A tendency toward violence in moments of disappointment and resentment can lead to chaos in personal relationships. Their strong sexual desires require precise regulation through a well-functioning "self-control valve." Sometimes, sexuality dominates their life so much that their creativity is completely disrupted. This person has a wild, impetuous nature, unusually courageous, striving to achieve their goals at any cost. Such a person is generally characterized by egotism, a tendency toward dictatorship, and a discord between their will and desires. When Mars and Pluto are afflicted, criminal tendencies and unjustified cruelty are possible. Such a person is violent themselves and often becomes a victim of violence from others. Recklessly pursuing their goals, they negate all diplomacy and disrupt carefully laid plans by resorting to force. Such a person experiences a compelling need for excess and extremes. They are characterized by a lack of self-control, harshness in their dealings with others, and sexual aggressiveness. They sincerely believe that might is always right. If such a person masters discipline and diplomacy, they will be able to overcome the discord between their will and instincts, which will enable them to accomplish great things.

A wild, impetuous nature. Without mitigating aspects, this sign is characterized by a desire to achieve goals at any cost, using force, thwarting carefully laid plans, and ruining love; it negates diplomacy. Sometimes this is a sign of extraordinary courage, but more often it signifies the motto: "Act or die." These people need to carefully examine the driving forces behind their self-sacrifice. Often, this desire for sensational action is explained by selfishness, and this need leads to senseless and unnecessary extremes. With a poor horoscope, this sign can lead to loss of self-control and violence. With afflicted Saturn and Mars, this aspect can lead to cruelty and criminal tendencies (generally leading to aggressiveness in sex). A strong will, but lacking direction. Without mitigating aspects, this sign can lead to violent death. They are often drawn to war, revolution, and uprisings; dictatorial tendencies are possible, as they believe that might is right. With spiritual aspirations, there is a discord between the will and instincts. With discipline and diplomacy, great things can be achieved.

Your child has exuberant energy and frenetic activity, perhaps even a sense of omnipotence. He can achieve more than usual and endure more if he can overcome the conflict between instincts and desires, actions and will. He should learn to control his strong desires and tendency to dominate other people. He must learn to creatively transform his anger or his irritation into positive feelings through sports or other activities. Such a child will be more drawn to sexual experiments than others, which can have traumatic consequences.

There could be a lot of emotional tension with this combination. You tend to set yourself against whatever forces of change manage to rear their heads around you. This is never more true than where your feelings are concerned. Your attempt to remain untouched and impersonal seems doomed to failure. Everything intrudes, gets too personal, and threatens to hurt your feelings. Your insistence on being an emotional island is probably interspersed with bursts of anger, even fits of rage.

Violent, frantic nature, if there are no softening aspects, the desire to achieve the goal at any cost. With a bad horoscope - loss of self-control, violence. When Saturn and Mars are affected - cruelty and criminal tendencies. In the absence of mitigating aspects - violent death. With spiritual aspirations, there is a discord between will and instincts. With the strictest self-discipline and diplomacy, great things can happen.

Opposition, square: aspects of destructive aggressiveness, which can turn against the person themselves. Double game, power achieved through secret maneuvers, tendency to self-destruction, connected with sharp perception of everything absurd, useless; this can also find its expression in the negation of "Mars-like" qualities - courage, energy, heroism.
