#aspects mars-pluto

➢ ♂ Creates an intensity of energy inside that must find expression through physical or creative outlets.

➢ ♇ You feel you have to battle against the odds to prove yourself as this is an aspect of conflict.

➢ ♂ There is an inner and outer side to this conflict that can pose certain difficulties, especially when young.

➢ ♇ You may start out in this life with feelings of victimization. You may even be very hard on yourself as there is a masochistic tendency here.

➢ ♂ An urge to compete to win may have detrimental effects on your self-esteem if you don’t live up to your high expectations, especially in physical appearance or sporting activities.

➢ ♇ On the other hand, this feeling of victimization may come from an abusive or dominating parent or teacher, most often a man. This may continue into adulthood in the form of conflict with superiors and people in general. There may well be truth to this persecution but in order to resolve this conflict issue, a realization of your role in the dynamics must develop.

➢ ♂ Your strong and independent nature may, in fact, be irritating others, in which case they would react defensively or with hostility. The energy you give off can be rather intense, and your courage and fighting spirit may appear coarse and abrupt. Without meaning it, your natural strengths can initially be weaknesses that need to be addressed.

➢ ♇ Thankfully, you have a great ability to transmute, transform and refine your powerful energy. The key to this is combining the best of Mars’s strength and creativity through relentless Pluto determination and single-mindedness. Self-awareness will come through a deep investigation of how your intense desires and actions appear to others. This comes not through the study of books, but through hard work, trial, and error. It is like on-the-job training until you master the intensity inside.

➢ ♂ Along with Mars courage and strength comes a high degree of sexual desire and passion. You most likely give off an alluring sexual magnetism and can use this to your advantage. However, as with your other strengths, subversive tactics or abusive and controlling behaviors must be replaced by a spiritual-moral code and a sense of karmic responsibility.
