Mars-Pluto Sextile

(Transit. Mars → Natal Pluto)

Various sources for a child’s horoscope

Your child possesses unusual energy and activity, possibly even a sense of omnipotence. He can achieve more than usual and endure greater challenges. He is capable of creatively transforming negative emotions into positive ones through sports or other activities. It is important to support the child in his desire to help people or animals suffering from pain. Such a child will feel a stronger than average attraction toward sexual experimentation.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Trine, sextile: a secretive activity with far-reaching goals, aimed at control over oneself and others. A person whose horoscope contains these aspects is always able to find the resources to start anew and remains exceptionally calm in the face of disappointment and failure. He skillfully maneuvers and deceives people.

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Mars sextile: Work may be a burden or a necessity for survival, but never an honorable vocation. The Mars sextile gives a person the opportunity to refine and raise the vibrational level of the energy flow inherent to the Planet. This indicates prospects for constructive activity, during which the Planet (and Mars) is incidentally processed, and through which the individual learns to align his strength and energy with the needs of the Planet—this may present certain difficulties and require effort, but they will not seem excessive. However, if he instead rejects all opportunities for constructive activity related to the Planet, after some time he will feel that the energy within him finds no satisfying outlet, becomes stagnant, and over time may lead to depression, feelings of inferiority, or sudden disharmonious energy outbursts (aggression from the external environment). From the standpoint of inner life, this aspect allows raising the frequency of one’s own energy, occurring through interaction and visible adaptation of subconscious programs related to the Planet, and energetic, particularly ancient instincts, which thereby acquire a more civilized form. Here, processing enables the redirection of destructive and low energies from the external world into constructive frameworks. For example, a well-integrated Mars-Pluto sextile may produce an educator working with antisocial teenagers. Pluto sextile: While striving to make the world worthy of yourself, remember that this is impossible. The Pluto sextile gives a person opportunities for purification in the areas ruled by the Planet, and these opportunities should not be neglected. In life, this influence often lacks a strong emphasis, yet the person still notices that when choosing and realizing the opportunities offered by the Planet, caution is required, because incorrect actions, especially careless work, lead to irreversible losses and the collapse of constructive initiatives. Sometimes Pluto may offer the planetary principle several options for sacrifice, and here the person must be very careful and not act on momentary impulses, or at least try not to postpone the sacrifice as long as possible: sudden blows of a Plutonian year are always better prevented in advance, especially in this case. Processing brings purification of the planetary principle in the person’s inner life, particularly subconscious programs related to the Planet’s spheres of influence. This purification occurs almost spontaneously, as a side effect of the person’s inner efforts directed toward achieving a specific goal offered by the sextile, and includes, in particular, eliminating the craving for power over people that activates the planetary principle within the individual. At a high level, the emphasis in the sextile may shift toward Pluto (on a medium level this is rare and indicates severe blows of fate), and then the person actively participates in large-scale programs related to burning karmic knots, and in the concrete forms of their work the constructive influence of the Planet will be felt. At a low level, the person will try to avoid constructive purification and personal sacrifices, attempting to delay them as much as possible or transfer them onto other people over whom (in the Planet’s spheres) they hold some power, and they may clearly see others’ flaws. With sufficient energy, this projection may work for a time (provided effort is made), but games with Plutonian programs always follow the principle “he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword,” in the sense that the purification of others is preceded by either voluntary or forced self-purification.

Francesca Sakoyan. Aspects

Extraordinary energy, willpower, and courage. Able to use natural forces to bring about changes beneficial to themselves. Opportunities in the house where Pluto is ruler. All sextiles with Pluto bring renewal that expands consciousness. Mars represents musculature, hence physical culture, especially hatha yoga for the purpose of renewal.
