Moon – Pluto Semi-Square

(Transit. Moon → Natal Pluto)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Moon semi-square: Do you always remember, when speaking with a person, that before you is a microcosm? This is the most difficult aspect; most often it indicates an inner brokenness which the person tries in every way to hide from themselves, since their primary inner feeling tells them that everything is exactly as it should be with them, while other people and external circumstances are somehow not quite right—but in any case, that’s their personal issue. In reality, everything is the opposite, but the Moon hardly admits its flaws. In the areas of the Planet, the person will have limited and rigid perception programs that ruthlessly reject and ignore everything that does not fit into them, yet the person will not notice this, believing they see and feel perfectly everything that is necessary, and may even feel superior to others whose perception is truly broader. The discomfort lies in the fact that beyond their clear perception, at a low level of aspect integration, the person will notice nothing, including subtle nuances and half-tones, and will instinctively strive to prove to the world that these subtleties do not actually exist. Often this aspect indicates formal relationships in childhood with a mother who performed her maternal functions and duties according to a fixed checklist, mentally ticking off items as they were completed. Here, (rather difficult) integration leads to the ability to create a warm, cozy home for others, anticipating their every need, but this requires first overcoming the natural selfishness and emotional hardness in the Planet’s spheres. Pluto semi-square: The mafia should be buried in bulletproof coffins. At a low level, this person will tend to ruthlessly eradicate evil in the Planet’s spheres according to their precise notions about it, and precisely in the clarity and definiteness of these notions will lie their strength and simultaneously the limitation of evolutionary development, which they will understand much later. For example, the Moon-Pluto semi-square can produce a great censor, an oncological surgeon, or a psychotherapist, but in any case, this person will have a clear image of evil and well-practiced techniques for its destruction. In inner life, this aspect brings rigidity and uncompromising harshness toward certain personal flaws in the Planet’s spheres, which strangely coexists with the ignoring of others, and here the person should act indirectly, working on improving the external world in its interests or other areas of the inner world, and only then will their Plutonian tools—be it a set of toothbrushes or clothing brushes, depending on Pluto’s placement in the first or fifth house—become effective. An unprocessed aspect can cause deep inner traumas, as well as fatal disharmonious circumstances in external life, which will be karma’s reaction to the conscious or unconscious cruelty displayed by the person in attempts at crude “cleansing” of the Planet’s spheres without understanding their true problems.
