When the intensity, depth,
and primal quality of Pluto combine in the birth
chart with the feeling nature of the Moon, the result is a deep feeler, a
sensitive soul who is immersed not only in his or her own emotional world,
but who is in touch with the sentiments, rhythms, and moods of the collective
as well.
The emotional wellspring of those who possess the Pluto-Moon configuration in their birthchart is filled with very passionate feelings:
jealousy, anger, deep attachments to loved ones, and a powerful felt sense of connection with life in general. Often emotions are a double-edged sword of
survival for the Pluto-Moon person. In order to survive, the Pluto-Moon possessor needs its emotional requirements to be met--this is as important to Pluto-Moon as
the basic necessities like food and shelter.
Paradoxically, however, due to the intensity of the emotional world, feelings can be very threatening to the Pluto-Moon type. Very forceful emotions from
the depth of one's own being can feel like an attack on the self and the more dangerous emotions can appear to be a matter of life or death. Thus, the Pluto-Moon type can create a lifestyle which will ensure that
its emotional life doesn't get stirred too much. Even more strategically-inclined, the Pluto-Moon owner can dominate, manipulate, and control his or her emotional life and the emotional life with whom he or she engages.
Thus, at times, the Pluto-Moon
combination can be completely overpowering. The poor ego often has little
to resort to in attempts to defend itself against the onslaught of the emotional
tidal waves that are served up in this combination–and often there is nothing
one can do except to ride the storm out.
Author Judy Hall calls
the Pluto-Moon combination the “Hades Moon,” for it drags the person through
a journey into the underworld and the shadowlands of life. When the Pluto-Moon
combination is activated by those who possess it, the normal tempo of life
stops, everyday activities are suspended, and one must pass through the dark,
repressed, taboo areas of emotional life.
The ebb and flow of the
Pluto-Moon combination is not a hell to be endured without recompense; those
with Pluto-Moon combinations often have a far richer, far more meaningful
experience and relationship with reality than those without it.
