Jupiter-Pluto Semi-Square

(Transit. Jupiter → Natal Pluto)

Avelom Podvodny. Aspects

Jupiter semi-square: To whom much is given, from him will be required something entirely different. This is the aspect of homegrown philosophers in the sphere of the Planet. Here, the person will have a dogmatic mindset in many ways, the main building block of which, upon close examination, turns out to be very solid and equally unwieldy, making it quite difficult to construct from them a light, heaven-directed temple. In the harmonious variant, this person may demonstrate philanthropic tendencies in the Planet’s spheres, but usually in a narrow sense and ultimately not disinterested, arising as a result of failure in personally grasping the subtleties of the planetary principle and its broad mastery. Generally, Jupiter brings happiness and expanded opportunities, but in this case, it occurs somehow mechanically and formally, without regard for the person’s true desires, so that its joy may often be poisoned, or what happens may seem to him utterly mocking—like receiving a stuffed puppy instead of a real one for a birthday. This element of formal charity and mistaken advocacy is overcome with great difficulty, especially since the person receives from life (in the planetary spheres) not the best examples to follow. Nevertheless, working through this requires deep (not broad) penetration into the planetary spheres and using one’s available resources genuinely for helping others, regardless of strengthening one’s sense of self-importance, and only then will the divine voice truly resound in the temple built by the person. Pluto semi-square: The mafia should be buried in bulletproof coffins. At a low level, this person tends to ruthlessly eradicate evil in the planetary spheres according to his clear conceptions of it, and precisely in the clarity and definiteness of these conceptions lies his strength and simultaneously the limitation of evolutionary development, which he will understand much later. For example, the Moon-Pluto semi-square may 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 attitude toward certain personal flaws in the planetary spheres, which strangely combines with the ignoring of others, and here the person should act indirectly, engaging in improving external world conditions in their interest or other areas of inner life, and only then will his Plutonian tools—be it a set of dental or clothing brushes, depending on Pluto’s position in the first or fifth house—become effective. The unprocessed aspect may bring 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 planetary spheres without understanding their true problems.
