Pluto
in the fifth house can give weird erotic adventures and sudden uncontrollable
impulses to dispense money on expensive pleasures. Afflicted, it brings
contacts with the underworld through gambling and dubious forms of
entertainment. Harmoniously expressed, this same energy seeks esthetically
gratifying outlets such as avant-garde art, dancing, and yoga. There may be a
peculiarly karmic situation with regard to offspring who are self-willed and
difficult to control.
If
creativity is indicated in other areas of the chart, the individual will
strive with considerable determination to exploit his or her potential in this
field. Even if the odds are stacked against this, the subject's strength of
will and expenditure of emotional energy can often win through in the end. As
a result, there is considerable inner psychological fulfillment, even if,
technically speaking, what is produced is of a rather low standard.
The
love life is also affected by this placing. It will probably be both intense
and very rich, but sometimes the subject may expect too much of lovers, so
that real satisfaction is not always achieved and the individual is forever
seeking perfection. There will almost inevitably be an above-average number of
love affairs but, for the reasons already stated, it may not be easy for the
individual to be completely logical in her attitude towards such emotional
relationships.
A
compulsive tendency to take risks may also be present. These will often be
emotional, but can sometimes be physically daring or concerned with financial
affairs.
