Moon Opposition Pluto

Moon opposition: By moderating the aggressiveness of your desires, you help establish peace on Earth. An opposition of a planet to the Moon gives a person a very biased attitude toward the planetary principle, which they perceive as vitally important, and in any case, they experience the planet’s manifestations very emotionally. On a low level, the person constantly tries to take an egocentric stance, that is, to internalize and emphasize the Moon, as a result of which the planetary principle is externalized, often in the form of another person onto whom all their own inner dissatisfaction and disharmony is projected. The partner is declared the culprit of all misfortunes, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction. For example, with a Moon opposition to Mercury, the partner who had the misfortune to give good advice risks inciting a hysterical outburst like: “I am so unhappy, and it’s all your fault and your idiotic advice and reasoning!” Deep down, the person, of course, feels that it’s not that simple, that the planetary principle is somehow necessary for them, but they are absolutely unable to understand why or how to use it while remaining purely on egoistic grounds, which, with a debilitated chart, can lead to nervous and somatic illnesses. From time to time (if the planet is stronger than the Moon), the accents shift, the planetary principle becomes stronger than the lunar one and is internalized, while the Moon, on the contrary, is externalized. On a low level, the person continues to fight: with their mother (or her image), childhood habits they have grown tired of, their physical body, their homeland or people, taking the planetary principle (and the house where the planet is located) as the basis for their position. For example, with a Moon opposition to Venus, the stance taken is: being fat and overeating is ugly, and the person goes on a grueling diet, but they last only until the Moon regains its dominant accent, after which they immediately suppress their desire for slimness and, munching on a sandwich with ham with great pleasure, watch figure skating competitions on TV without a second thought. The main problem here in reconciling planetary principles is that the Moon must abandon the idea of all-consuming consumption of the planetary principle (otherwise the latter perishes), but at the same time must not starve the person to death, that is, find a compromise “diet.” Working through this is difficult, requires self-sacrifice, discipline (Saturn), and inner honesty (Neptune, Pluto), but yields wonderful results: the person masters the planetary principle very subtly, deeply, and confidently, and it becomes a natural and reliable support for them. Pluto opposition: Good gets dirty in the struggle against evil. In general, a major aspect of Pluto karmically tunes the planet to a program of purification, often painful but, most importantly, irreversible losses. On a low level, the opposition contrasts the planet’s principle with Pluto’s purifying actions; the person perceives the latter as destructive aggression directed at themselves (in the areas governed by the planet) and tries to resist it. In this case, they clearly emphasize the planet, and Pluto appears to them in the form of external fate, delivering (of course) destructive blows to the innocent person, and moreover always in the same place (the planet’s principle or the house where it is located). The person may grumble (quietly), protest (loudly), or fight (desperately), but it is better for them to surrender and, most importantly, understand that Pluto does not aim to destroy the planetary principle as such (with Pluto opposition to the Moon, the person sometimes feels that fate simply wants to destroy them along with their family, and moreover in the most agonizing way), but only its lower octave, from which it is psychologically hardest for the person to part. From time to time (usually unnoticed by the person), the chart swaps the accents in the opposition and shifts the main emphasis to Pluto, so that the person becomes a conduit of the Absolute’s (fate’s) purifying will and does to the planetary principle in the external world roughly what fate recently did to them. Often, the external manifestation of the planet occurs through certain people who fall under the fatal influence of the person, who, of course, may not even suspect it (though such suspicions do arise over the years). Strong black teachers with a Pluto opposition can long maintain the emphasis on Pluto, brutally suppressing and destroying the planetary principle in their students, but usually the return strike of Pluto eventually catches up with them. The working through here primarily involves cultivating humility and eradicating within oneself the primitive desire for complete control over the manifestations of the planetary principle in the surrounding world and the urge to reshape it in other people, ruthlessly eradicating everything repulsive and unworthy (for example, a Pluto opposition to Venus gives a craving for total control over people and especially over the object of love; an opposition to Mercury gives a craving for control over minds and movements of people, but not the kind of power that comes from the higher octave of the 9th house, but rather “so they won’t dare to speak or even think what I don’t allow!”). The person needs to understand that their planetary principle can be constructively used in external life only after it has undergone thorough Plutonic purification within them, for which they will have to make many external and internal sacrifices. On a high level, the person gains the opportunity for higher development of the planet’s principle and participation in large-scale karmic programs.

These people are prone to loneliness, primarily due to their emotionality. They typically express their emotions in an overly fussy and hasty manner. They need to strive to use their creative potential positively, and this requires controlling such character traits as impulsiveness, hypersensitivity, resentment, and a tendency toward jealousy. They often feel abandoned, particularly due to tense and conflictual relationships with parents and family. They tend to seek definitive and unique solutions to all problems, often overly emotionally. They need to learn to control their intolerance and tendency toward fanatical radicalism. These people are characterized by excessive arrogance and a clear overestimation of their own capabilities. They are impatient and often deviate from generally accepted norms in their behavior. Their fate is highly fickle and unstable, mostly due to a passionate desire for pleasure and emotional satisfaction. They possess a powerful psycho-emotional potential that evokes anxiety, fear, and a profound sense of insecurity in those around them. They seem to generate a psychological field that destabilizes and suppresses others. Feeling constrained (primarily by their own emotional tensions), they unconsciously strive to sever all ties with the past and renew their lives. Therefore, they are extremely harsh with parents and family and do not tolerate any interference. When pressured, they not only become indignant and angry, but are prone to outbursts of rage and outbursts of anger. Such people often disdain material possessions, as achieving emotional and sensual satisfaction is paramount to them.

Your child may feel like his emotions are overwhelming him and getting the better of him. Sometimes there is a fear that a child has a powerful magnetic force, but does not know how to handle it. He can be harsh with his parents, does not tolerate interference from them, and when pressured he becomes indignant and angry. Stubbornness leads to quarrels. The child does not allow himself to be taught or read morals. Little things cause irritation, since he wants to deal only with important, unique things. Impatient when things are stalled. Sometimes he may feel abandoned due to a specific relationship with his parents. Such children need to develop the ability to handle their strength. They should not be prevented from having their own feelings and expressing them freely. The mother seems to the child to be powerful, understanding and all-knowing, having power over life and death. He may think that she has eyes in the back of her head. The mother must establish open communication with the child so that he does not feel overwhelmed by her.

Opposition, quadrature: a categorical rejection of the maternal model and, therefore, of the female role, which consciousness often actively does not accept, trying to displace. And since the Moon in conditionalist astrology is associated with a person in his integrity, these aspects indicate difficulties associated with the body or damage to bodily health in childhood (illness, long and difficult labor that damaged the health of the newborn).

Self-assertion, dictatorship, authoritarianism, striving for success and popularity, self-confidence, overconfidence, arrogance. Inconsistency, inflexibility, lack of adaptability, and firmness. The positive side is immense ambition, which drives personal achievement. It gives self-confidence and the ability to fight; the ability to achieve, command, exercise power, and assertiveness.

You tend to avoid getting personal when it comes to your own emotions, and would rather keep sensitive matters at arm's length. You don't mind getting into the personal business of others, producing some heavy confrontations. Those around you don't care for personal probing on your part, and they will let you know it. Your home and surroundings tend to be very traditional.
