FIRST HOUSE PLUTO

The House of Self - The field of action and personal initiative

Outlook on life — the lens through which the rest of the chart is focused.  The personality.  Character type.  Physique.  Early childhood.  Destiny in the making.

A first-house Pluto has a way of drawing issues into the open. When afflicted, it shows connections with the underworld and a liability to suffer bodily violence. Often it leads to some form of banishment or exile, but this isolation may stem from an exclusiveness which deliberately shuts others out.

This person has a will of their own which may appear as a complete disregard of convention. They tend to be loners and to project an air of mystery. Money matters greatly to them and they crave to be not merely well-to-do but a veritable plutocrat. They want personal power and will use their driving ambition to get down to fundamentals and expose long-neglected abuses.

Whichever sign Pluto occupies, and in most cases this will also be the Ascendant sign, the planet's influence will darken the personality, adding an incisive and deep, emotionally intense quality.

The individual will want to explore in depth anything they find fascinating, and so there can be considerable potential for research.

On a more psychological level, there can be obsessional tendencies and sometimes a need to dominate others. A zest and inner strength will be added when Pluto is in Libra.

The emotional energy will be passionate and often expressed sexually, although it can be positively directed towards achieving ambitious objectives. A marvelous sense of purpose is generally present, and must be expressed and fulfilled, otherwise an inner seething sense of dissatisfaction may afflict the subject.

Considerable potential is given in this placing, since it is so full of intense emotional energy. However, it cannot be stressed too strongly just how important it is for these qualities to be given a rewarding outlet.
