Jupiter-Pluto Biquintile

(Transit. Jupiter → Natal Pluto)

Avesalom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Jupiter’s biquintile: It is easier to blame the era for lack of spirituality than to discover it there. This aspect reflects the philanthropist and protector of lower forms of life within the planet’s spheres. At a low level, it manifests primarily in words and promises, as well as in shared royal arrogance; at a high level, the individual penetrates a broad spectrum of problems related to lower life, comprehends them at a high level of abstraction, and can find entirely non-obvious solutions. Jupiter gives the person an opportunity to open new developmental paths and methods for resolving seemingly irreconcilable contradictions for lower forms of life, but for this, the individual must move away from the viewpoint (typical of the unprocessed aspect) that sees them as primitive and unworthy of serious attention. As the person works through and expands their understanding of lower forms of life, first, they begin to recognize subconscious programs within themselves that resemble these lower forms and learn to manage them more adequately or transform them into evolutionarily higher ones; second, they gain the ability to express inherent human qualities, such as selfless assistance to younger brothers in evolution. Pluto’s biquintile: A person’s spiritual level is determined by the amount of conscience they have managed to awaken in the epoch. In its processed form, this aspect enables the individual to participate effectively in complex issues concerning lower life; for them, it appears as a bearer of fate, something inevitable, relentless, yet ultimately fair and guiding them in the right direction. In the harmonious variant, the person easily perceives inadequacies and weaknesses in lower forms of life within the planet’s spheres and finds the least painful ways to eliminate them. However, certain disappointments and irreversible losses await them, since some lower forms cannot withstand criticism and (karmically) must be completely eliminated—a fact with which they may struggle to reconcile, as these forms resonate within their subconscious, and the death of external life forms destroys something within themselves. With afflicted Pluto, this sometimes occurs very painfully, and the individual may become embittered, emotionally detaching themselves from lower life and its problems, as a result becoming its merciless persecutor, seeing in it only evil deserving ruthless destruction; in doing so, however, they destroy the human element within themselves, placing themselves in service to a cruel egregore and losing free will. Processing here proceeds through careful study of lower life forms with full respect for the laws of their development and their inherent ethics; only after this can the individual understand and love lower life forms, perceiving them as kindred, so that any surgical intervention becomes healing and humane.
