Intensity

It is hard for those with Pluto-Moon not to engage in work and relationships without intensity. These are rarely types who can distance themselves or remain dispassionate unless other factors in the natal chart suggest otherwise.

It is difficult to name a guitarist in the Rock era who packed in more note-for-note intensity into his solos than Eric Clapton. Listen to this Clapton solo from the song, Deserted Cities of the Heart, dating from his days with the power trio Cream.

Vulnerability

Often, usually through a twist of fate, Pluto-Moon people find themselves in emotionally vulnerable positions. Some circumstance will propel the Pluto-Moon person into having to expose deep, dark, raw, possibly traumatic portions of themselves to the outside environment.

Take, for example, Bartok’s opera Bluebeard’s Castle–a little-performed masterpiece–and quite possibly the purest expression of the Pluto-Moon phenomenon–and the theme of possessing emotional skeletons in one’s closet.

The entire opera focuses on the exposure of a man’s delicate and troubled emotional past to his beloved. Symbolized by doors in his castle, deeper and deeper passages of the heart are opened as the opera progresses. In this passage, what’s behind the fifth door of Bluebeard’s castle is revealed. Since the Pluto-Moon is such a huge emotive force, it often takes more than the owner to carry the emotional load.

The Pluto-Moon makes the person very dependent on a significant other’s ability to create a supportive and often nourishing environment. Once again, we turn to Eric Clapton, in this case, Layla. "Layla–you’ve got me on my knees... Layla–darlin’ won’t you ease my worried mind."
