SIXTH
HOUSE PLUTO
The House of Possessions - The field of prosperity
Employment
and employees. Duties, practical responsibilities, and mundane tasks. Daily
work. Servants and dependents. Pets and small animals. Diet.
Sickness and health. Hygiene and sanitation.
A
sixth-house Pluto gives the power to uncover and analyze invidious conditions.
The individual may serve as a troubleshooter in their job and can clean up
messes with which others are unable to cope.
Pluto
in the natural house of Mercury can be particularly helpful to a psychologist
who, by encouraging their patients to talk, brings long-standing mental
problems out into the open where they can be dealt with rationally. It
stimulates an interest in psychosomatic medicine and a concern for the dangers
posed by careless pollution of air and water.
The
subject with this placing may be a great stickler for routine and discipline.
There will be a tendency to be rather hard on the self, however, and as a
result whichever tasks have to be tackled can become an obsession.
If
these tendencies are controlled and Pluto can be made to work in a positive
way from this house, this placing will enhance the individual's powers of
concentration. The result may be that they will direct a great deal of energy
toward concentrated work, which will prove to be of considerable benefit.
A
negative effect on the health may be felt by those with this placing. If Pluto
is negatively aspected there can be bowel problems (here we get Pluto's
characteristic constipating action in the literal sense!), and if the
individual suffers from a lack of emotional fulfillment, he or she may tend to
overeat for the sake of the comfort that the food gives, thereby putting on
too much weight.
