You were born at a time when the two outer planets were conspiring together. Neptune helps us contact greater worlds. It’s tapping into the collective unconscious, the dream state, higher realities, energy work, higher self work, reaching out to Guides and Ascended Masters. It’s ethereal. It’s free floating. Pluto on the other hand is…contacting the vaster regions of yourself. Pluto is best summarized by Psychology. Understanding places where energy can get “stuck” or fixated.
Let’s summarize it like this: Someone might experience their Neptune at 2am after waking up from a dream where they felt like they were touched by an Angel. They can still feel the shifted energy in their body. The presence of the Angel was as real as watching lightning strikes over a Mountain. Neptune by itself can be so healing. This person truly felt the presence of God, and had a renewed faith in a higher supportive power in their life. However, this person when they were young went to a Church, where they also once felt a higher power. At the church an older man in the clergy assaulted them. The place they once felt God, became a hellscape. They stopped having faith at that time, and only with this dream of an Angel have they renewed their faith.
Without the understanding of Pluto, the psychology of understanding that trauma that occurred….the moment of experiencing Neptune energy can slip away. The trauma, or hellscape, can overpower the peace.
As you have both of these planets together, you get to experience the power of BOTH of these planets. Connections with higher worlds, and the ability to alchemize human experiences that BLOCK higher growth. Pluto is the great transformer. Any traumatic experience or “mythic story” that one carries in their bones, must pass through the gateway of Pluto before it can be released…and new energy can enter.
You as an individual and as part of your generation get to help these energies work together in ways that help people not only to alchemize pain, or experience renewed faith…but to have them work together. A true healing experience. While not everyone with this aspect in their chart would be considered a “healer” many are. You must be willing to go off the beaten path with your faith or with your psychological understanding of the world to tap into this gift. An example might be a Psychologist who ends up also learning Hypnotism and having great success, even though their colleges start calling them a “quack”.
Shadows:
These two can make a heady brew when they are in the lower octaves of their expression. Pluto can go nuclear (literally as well as figuratively). Manipulation and a hunger for worldly control and power over others can take hold. Neptune can become delirious, addicted, and believe that the world is out to get you. Combined, they are hungry for revenge. Instead of looking to heal, they become a way to inflict more pain or control on those who hurt you.
Or they can slip into addiction and self abandonment thinking that there is no cure for what ails you. A loss of faith that makes you believe that if your story started in pain, that it must end in pain as well. Especially as the world is full of hardships (if stated lightly) and there is no peace to be had.
Put simply, these energies working together can either make you believe you can create heaven on earth…or that you’re already living in hell. It’s important to remember that you’re in charge of deciding which type of Universe you live in.
On a lighter note, you may find yourself turning to one modality or the other for healing, when you’re meant to work with them both together. You’re meant to either create or explore NEW and EVOLVING healing modalities. Like our hypnotist psychologist. If you had just gone to a “healer” they may have put you in a trance and asked you to pray…but it wouldn't have had the same impact if you hadn’t also uncovered the psychological undercurrents of your original wounding.
Power:
Great Spiritual Healing. The ability to understand both the very human brain and survival responses, while also honoring the energetics and higher powers involved. Many people with this placement who are called into healing work find themselves at the leading edge of new modalities. Getting inspired to create change through spirituality and personal power/psychological work. The other side of this as well is Pluto rules other types of power, including worldly power. So you may be on the leading edge of using inspired thoughts, faith, and vision to bring about more worldly gains as well.
Conjunction:
This aspect hasn’t occurred since 1891, and won’t occur again until 2385. I will not be speaking on its impacts. I hope an Astrologer in 2380 will have a great deal to say!
Sextile/Trine:
This is creative energy between the two planets, and will next occur in the charts of people born in 2026. This brings breakthroughs of spirituality and psychology. If you were born with this in your chart, you’re meant to be drawn to those leading technologies or creating them yourself as a teacher. Ideally the people with this aspect in their chart in the 1980’s will be CREATING most strongly during the next sextile in 2026. Expect this to be a big time in your life, of either embracing new modalities or creating them.
Square/Opposition:
There will also be no square or oppositions in the charts of anyone alive today, or for the next 200 years.
