Biquintile Pluto – Chiron
(Transit. Pluto → Natal Chiron)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Biquintile Pluto: A person’s spiritual level is determined by the amount of conscience they have awakened in an era. In its worked-through form, this aspect gives a person the ability to effectively engage with complex problems of lower life; to them, it appears as a carrier of the year, inevitable, something merciless, but ultimately just and guiding them in the right direction. In its harmonious variant, a person easily sees the inadequacies and flaws of lower life forms in the spheres of the planet and finds the least painful ways to eliminate them. However, this comes with certain disappointments and irreversible losses, as some lower forms cannot withstand scrutiny and (karmically) must be completely eradicated—something that may be difficult to accept, since these forms resonate with their subconscious, and the death of external life forms destroys something within themselves. When Pluto is afflicted, this can be extremely painful, and a person may, in a fit of bitterness, emotionally detach themselves from lower life and its problems, becoming its merciless persecutor, seeing only evil in it that must be ruthlessly destroyed. In doing so, however, they destroy their own human essence, serving a cruel egregore and losing their free will. Here, the work involves a thorough study of lower life forms with full respect for the laws of their development and their inherent ethics; only then can a person understand and love these lower life forms, feeling them as akin to themselves, where surgical intervention proves healing and humane.
Biquintile Chiron: The villain also washes God’s dishes. Just with a chipped handle. This aspect provides an unconventional view of lower life forms and their problems in the spheres of the planet. On a low level, this may carry a deeper meaning than the person initially realizes, though it is not immediately apparent to anyone. If a person begins to interact more closely with lower life, driven by purely human impulses, they will encounter serious problems both in that life itself and in their participation in it. These problems will corner them and surround them with unspeakable chaos, making it very difficult to find a way out—more precisely, it will require a complete revision of their views on lower life, their attitude toward it, and possibly the very concept of humanity. Overall, this is a very promising aspect, as its working-through allows a person, through participation in another’s life, to understand the specifics of their own evolutionary “tails,” that is, inadequately low subconscious programs, to see and change them, making them more aligned with the spiritual image. However, to achieve this, a person must first learn to view lower life in the spheres of the planet and its problems with objective and attentive eyes, overcoming corresponding social stereotypes: a cow may not be a microcosm, but it is still closer to a human than to a milk factory.
