Trauma Edition

⚠️Trigger Words⚠️: suicide, sexual abuse, self harm, cutting, miscarriage/abortion, death, addictions

Trauma in a natal chart is a complex and sensitive topic. While specific placements in an individual's natal chart can indicate potential vulnerabilities to trauma, it is important to note that astrology does not predict trauma itself. Trauma is a multifaceted experience influenced by personal and environmental factors. However, some astrological factors can shed light on an individual's potential tendencies or vulnerabilities that may contribute to their response to trauma.

It's essential to remember that an astrological chart is just one aspect of a person's life, and it does not determine a person's fate. Trauma is a complex issue influenced by a wide range of factors, including family, environment, and individual resilience. If someone has experienced trauma, it is crucial to approach the subject with empathy, sensitivity, and professional support from therapists or counselors who specialize in trauma recovery. Astrology can provide insights, but it should not be used as a diagnostic tool for trauma.

For emphasis: These placements or aspects in the natal chart do not guarantee abuse, but may be indicators for the potential or having a predisposition for abuse or trauma to manifest in the native's life. Please take what resonates and leave what does not!!

Specific aspects or placements are mentioned below, but first, here are some astrological indicators to consider:

Challenging Aspects to Sensitive Planets: Hard aspects (squares and oppositions) involving sensitive planets like the Moon, Chiron, and Pluto can suggest a predisposition to emotional and psychological challenges.

Moon in Hard Aspect to Saturn or Pluto: A Moon in a challenging aspect with Saturn or Pluto may indicate difficulties in emotional expression and coping with intense emotions or control issues.

Chiron Aspects: Chiron, known as the "wounded healer," can highlight areas of vulnerability and potential sources of healing. Chiron in aspect to personal planets or angles can reveal areas of deep-seated wounds.

Saturn in Hard Aspect to Personal Planets: Saturn aspects, particularly squares and oppositions, may indicate difficulties with authority figures, self-esteem, and self-worth that can contribute to traumatic experiences.

8th House Activations: Planets or sensitive points in the 8th house, which is associated with transformation and crisis, can suggest experiences of deep emotional and psychological transformation, which can include trauma.

South Node: The South Node can indicate past experiences and tendencies. Difficult aspects to the South Node may suggest karmic patterns related to trauma that need to be addressed and transformed.

Retrograde Planets: Retrograde planets in the natal chart may indicate areas of internalized or introspective energy that can manifest in different ways, potentially contributing to trauma.

Difficult Lunar Nodes: Challenging aspects to the North and South Nodes can highlight areas of karmic challenge and unresolved issues that may lead to traumatic experiences.

I noticed long time ago that Pluto was romanticized in tumblr astrology, much like Scorpio. I don’t really know whether that comes from the lack of life experience with Plutonic relationships or simply because of humans’ need to feel something deeply, strong and transformative, but whatever Pluto touches it is never easy to handle, even if the aspects are ‘positive’ or ‘lighter’. If you were born with lots of aspect of your personal planets to Pluto, you’ll know what I’m talking about. The need to merge with the Universe, to chew the soul and spit it out, that is Plutonian trait and the process, although deeply transformative and definitely full of potential for growth, hurts like open wound. Hades, Pluto, the Lord of Underworld, does belong to the myth of Hell. But the Hell you’ll experience, is within your own being. No, you can get prepared. Yes, it will scar you for life.

But that is, ultimately, the reminder of growth.

I’ll write here only about Pluto’s aspects to personal planets, because Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are generational planets and their mutual contacts have more impact on the collective and mundane level rather than personal.

So, if your or your partner’s Pluto creates an aspect to the other person’s personal planet(s), you’ll most likely feel that energy deeply and it can even become obsessive in some cases. But who is ‘the obsessed’ one? The answer is - both people. But make no mistake .Pluto person always calls the shots, although it can seem - especially if planets it touches are Mars and Venus - that the other person is the leader of the game. And the game it is,

PLUTO - SUN ASPECTS (conjunction, trine, sextile, square, opposition)

The attraction is immediate and the Pluto person is the one who seems ‘magnetic’ to the Sun person. Pluto loves the light of the Sun person but it admires it as a spectator. They are drawn to each other and Pluto will let the Sun person - especially if Sun is in dignified position - to express their personality and will play at their pace. But to a degree. What Pluto wants is power and when they decide that the Sun person has had enough space to play, they’ll grab them and suck them into their world. This connection can be highly productive if we talk about trine or sextile, because it helps both people explore their strong points. With square, it can turn into a battle of egos - Sun will try to get it their own way - and fail eventually, because Pluto doesn’t do ego. It deals with the essence of one’s being. This type of synastry doesn’t necessarily have to be between the lovers, but all sorts of life partnerships. They can even seem to ‘hate’ each other but in reality, they can create miracles when their power is united. In case of conjunction it can go both ways, depending how ‘healthy’ the Sun is. The Dark and Light, the Sky and the Underworld, they merge together and both sides have lots of going on - this is one of the most powerful synastry connections in my experience.

PLUTO - MOON ASPECTS

Gentle nature of the Moon ‘stands no chance’ if the native’s Moon squares their partner’s Pluto. It’s not restriction, it’s pure fear. Can it survive? Of course it can, but the battle here is more on a subconscious level. The Moon person feels the energy of Pluto almost at a physical level, it disturbs its peace, it creates floods and droughts in their soul. They are thirsty for Pluto’s love, but with every drop they get more and more overwhelmed. It takes the whole chart to see how two people work together of course, but with harsh aspects of Moon to Pluto, the struggle is inevitable. Trines and sextiles create powerful emotional bond and somehow ‘karmic’ feeling even if that’s not the case. The intensity is what they both desire, it is what they will get even if their relationship does not translate onto the physical level. They will breathe together if Pluto person decides it’s what they want from the Moon person, they will not be separated easily. But the bond is real and the two can form some sort of ‘sanctuary’ with each other.

PLUTO - VENUS ASPECTS

Oh, the thunder in your bones. The sound of storm in your mind. Pluto person HAS to touch the Venus person, they have to OWN them. Sexual attraction is so strong that it can be felt and it’s palpable. It’s a game they both willingly play, Venus pushing Pluto away (in case of square of opposition), Pluto coming back every single time, even if the whole life and years of separation are between them. If they get into a physical relationship, it’s the one they’ll remember their whole life. There’s nothing casual about it. It’s all or nothing, it’s the blood-boiling, mind-fogging, ‘I’ll die for you’ type of connection. It’s not for everybody and some dark, even violent stuff can happen (I’m NOT saying they will, it’s just that sometimes they do) Venus person is a slave to Pluto’s desire, but they both want that contact deeply.It can be the most rewarding or most soul-destroying experience of their lives. But you can’t ignore it. I’ve noticed that many of these relationships are connected with some sort of taboo - but attraction is so strong that nothing can hold the two people back, not all the red flags in the world. If you’re one of the lucky - or miserable ones -who had the chance to feel this type of synastry, you’ll get immediately what I’m talking about. You want each other on such deep level that it can’t be transformed into words.

PLUTO -MARS ASPECTS

Battle of the titans. In case of trines or sextiles, both people feel empowered and strongly driven to one another. Their goals become one, their desires and passion are in sync. If we’re talking about squares or opposition, it can go from zero to 100 very quickly. Again, if sex is involved -and with Pluto it often is - it can be mind-blowing. But many people who are not in sexual relationship have this aspects between their Pluto and Mars and there is always some sort of battle going on. Mars wants things NOW, Pluto wants them REAL. Thread carefully here. Power is one thing, strength can come from all parts of human nature.
