Quintile Uranus – Pluto

(Transit. Uranus → Natal Pluto)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Quintile of Uranus: If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then praise be to Allah. This aspect brings sudden surges of vital expression in the sphere of the planet, which may be merely an extraordinary exception, an artifact, but sometimes sound almost miraculous, revealing flashes of life within forms that seemed completely dead. At a high level, this aspect can indicate brilliant mathematical or theoretical-physical abilities, the capacity to perceive life and development within the most complex and abstract structures and models. At a moderate level, the individual should strive to recognize the energetic, vital manifestations of Uranus in the planet’s sphere as signs of fate and learn to interpret them. This aspect implies a certain fateful protection — at a critical moment, an unexpected revitalization arises either within the person or in the external world, disrupting the lagging program proceeding according to established plans, creating a spontaneous fluctuation and the possibility of an unconventional solution or way out. Working with this aspect involves becoming consciously aware of the meaning and significance of the vitality surge or unexpected developmental leap, supporting it and adapting it to reality, without which it usually quickly dies out and fades. A strong activation of Uranus may bring in the planet’s spheres a vitalization in unprecedented forms, placing the person in a dead end and causing great fear; however, hints about their true purpose and nature may be sought by recalling previous Uranian flashes and vital manifestations in the planet’s sphere. Quintile of Pluto: When a young lamb appears in a dense forest teeming with predatory wolves, it is innocent, yet it provokes pleasant excitement. This is a highly ambiguous aspect, whose interpretation depends not only on the major aspects of Pluto and the planet, but also on the individual’s overall evolutionary level. Generally speaking, Pluto acts as an inspector of the quality and forms of life within the planet’s spheres, and the person will have to experience permanent partings with some of them, which it is better to reconcile with inwardly in due time (having gone through a certain mourning). On the other hand, Pluto primarily destroys parasitic life forms, and after its influence, the person ultimately feels better, although the inner worries and cockroaches, abundant among the programs of the subconscious, sometimes appear in the inner world quite attractive—at least, if one does not look at them closely—and separating from them (especially if the planet is afflicted) may feel as if all life within is being killed, and only much later will the person understand that this was not the case. An afflicted Pluto will make this process harsher and more abrupt, a harmonious one gentler, but in any case, the experiences (at low and moderate levels) will not be the most pleasant. This aspect provides a sharp, critical perception of vital manifestations in the planet’s spheres, and if the quintile is afflicted, at a low level the person may become a dark life teacher, destroying not only its parasites but in effect all other expressions as well (although they will likely think otherwise)—an aspect of Sodom and Gomorrah and AIDS.
