THIRD
HOUSE PLUTO
The
House of the Environment - The Field of Communications
Brothers,
sisters, relatives, and neighbors. Intellectual interests. Education.
Perception and speech. Books, magazines, and letters. Publications.
Short
journeys.
Pluto
in the house of intellect quickens the desire to extend the normal bounds of
thought and to solve mysteries. Strongly aspected, it provides the impetus to
break down deep-seated repressions in communicating ideas about sex, death,
and the afterlife.
It
can make a muckraking journalist, a penetrating psychoanalyst, a clever
hypnotist, or an ingenious criminal. This placement is also conducive to
studies relating to nuclear science and atomic research.
The
need to communicate (third house) and the tendency to be secretive and silent
(Pluto), is a contradiction in terms, yet the two qualities are combined in
this placing.
A
powerful element of curiosity and a searching kind of mind are denoted by
Pluto's tenancy of the third house. Very little will be missed by the
individual, despite the characteristic tendency to wear a blank facial
expression, especially when in boring company, thereby giving the impression
that he or she is totally cut off from the surroundings. In fact, everything
that is happening and being said will be noted - almost nothing will have
escaped the subject's attention.
If
Gemini is prominent in the chart, or Pluto is in Virgo, this placing may be a
splendid supporting factor for someone who has inclinations towards
investigative journalism or detective work.
Parents
with children who have Pluto in Scorpio in this house must always make a point
of answering their every question very thoroughly indeed, since superficiality
or a glossing over of the facts will not be tolerated at any price.
