Moon – Pluto Sesquiquadrate

(Transit. Moon → Natal Pluto)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Moon sesquiquadrate: In hardened people, the heart has an iron shell; in sensitive ones, a plastic one. This aspect brings in the areas of the Planet a general inner awkwardness and coarseness of perception, along with reflexive habits. For example, with a Mars-Moon sesquiquadrate, a person at a low level best understands the language of violence and tends to express themselves in the same manner, which also applies to their inner life—meaning they can be very harsh with themselves, possibly engaging in self-persecution, cornering their own psyche, reshaping it without anesthesia, and so on. In the areas of the Planet, at a low level this person may provoke mild irritation in others due to what seems like emotional coldness and a tendency to straightforwardly ignore everything they dislike, focusing only on their own (usually crude) needs, which they satisfy with iron determination. The person themselves usually doesn’t notice this behavior, but sometimes—though not always—feeling others’ negative attitudes, they retreat into their egoism, considering such complaints unfair, groundless, and altogether incomprehensible. Indeed, working through this is difficult and requires a strong desire for self-development and overcoming inner coarseness; it’s extremely hard to bring this into awareness because the subconscious censorship here is coarse (just like the programs themselves) and often simply erases large chunks, leaving outright blank spots in memory and perception (the person says: “I don’t remember that at all, no matter what… and I somehow didn’t notice this at all, which is strange”). Working through this aspect leads to the ability to precisely and subtly control at a distance the corresponding fragments of the subconscious related to the Planet. Pluto sesquiquadrate: The flour that spills from the millstones of history is usually raw—from blood. At a low level, this aspect gives an overly schematic view of flaws and vices in the areas of the Planet, overly direct methods and harsh tools for their destruction, which, with strong energetic charge, can turn a person into a merciless tyrant, relentlessly driving a resisting people toward a bright future. Yet the same harsh tools will eventually be felt by the person themselves, and here they will face one of the most unpleasant variations of fate—a mechanical one, where the real causes of irreversible losses remain far beyond the person’s perception, and they are powerless to oppose destiny. The karmic tasks of this aspect are to realize the imperfection of one’s cleansing tools in the areas of the Planet and the coarseness of one’s perception of flaws in these areas, and above all, to illuminate one’s evolutionary remnants in the sphere of the Planet and destroy or transform them; only after this does the person find subtle tools and perception in the areas of the Planet, allowing them to separate wheat from chaff without crushing a single cow from the collective herd with their winnowing fan.
