Trine Moon – Pluto

(Transit. Moon → Natal Pluto)

Various sources for the child’s horoscope

Your child may feel overwhelmed by emotions, as if they are taking control. There may be a sense that the child possesses a powerful magnetic force but does not know how to handle it. Such children need to learn how to manage their strength. They should not be discouraged from having and expressing their own feelings freely. They often intuitively understand the causes behind phenomena.

The mother may seem to the child like a powerful figure who understands everything and knows everything, wielding power over life and death. The child might think she has eyes in the back of her head. The mother should establish open and easy communication with the child.

Trine, sextile: these aspects are associated with intuition, an innate insatiable drive for challenges, and even the ability to restore the sharpness of one’s feelings.

Moon trine: Ingratitude is a wall that protects a person’s personal happiness from the disharmony of the world at large. In the areas governed by the planet, this person is difficult to emotionally disturb for long; their ability to restore disrupted subconscious balance is remarkable.

The Moon trine Venus grants extraordinary inner resilience to love experiences, while the Moon trine Sun grants it in any imperative circumstances. With an egocentric mindset, the Moon trine gives a careful but utterly merciless vampire in the areas related to the planet—merciless because they are entirely unaware of what they are actually doing. For example, with an unworked Moon–Venus trine, a person may genuinely love and somehow understand art, but their perception is largely physiological, meaning it will be accompanied by a crude profanation of aesthetic currents. After talking to an artist and sincerely praising their paintings, this person will cover them—and the artist along with them—in a film of banality and dullness, forcing the artist to take time to recover and reorganize their gift, cleansing it.

Conversely, working through this trine produces an artistic person whose every step and gesture is worthy of admiration, not to mention their home and the food they prepare.

The Moon trine grants brilliant abilities for intuitive learning in the areas governed by the planet (for example, a trine to Mercury grants linguistic abilities, a trine to Mars grants athletic prowess, and a trine to the Sun grants the ability to influence others’ wills). At the same time, it also fosters outstanding laziness in these same areas, which can only be overcome through external spiritual direction when the person feels the importance of every choice and action and takes responsibility for them.

At a low (or average) level, in the areas governed by the planet, a semi-conscious attitude prevails: “If I need to, I can easily do it, so why try?” There is a general but sincere egocentric orientation with a subconscious sense: “Of course, the whole world should work for me—who else would it be for?” Beneath this thin veneer of well-being lies a vast gray area with pockets of decay, though most of this is repressed into the subconscious and manifests as an overall depressive backdrop that makes any constructive self-work or external effort seem futile and hopeless.

Working through this trine involves overcoming laziness and the tendency to profane everything that happens in the areas governed by the planet. Both should be seen not as personal flaws but as direct enemies (i.e., according to the 7th house). In general, it can be said that the Moon trine tries to subtly direct the lower principle of the planet to serve the ego or, at best, the person’s family. Its karmic purpose, however, is to be worked through, expanded, and refined by transforming the lower programs of the subconscious: the gourmand becomes the chef.

Pluto trine: Plowing furrows with bulls, muttering dreamily toward sanctity. The Pluto trine grants the planetary principle protection from fate, meaning that only the troubles destined for the person in the relevant areas will occur—no others will threaten them. Moreover, Pluto prepares them for these troubles in advance. If the person quickly understands this and cultivates humility in the face of these minor yet irreversible losses that fate sends, they will avoid greater sacrifices and losses (this, of course, refers to this aspect). Thus, the Pluto trine symbolizes harmonious and relatively painless purification that will affect not only the person themselves but also their environment, especially those who activate the person’s planetary principle. Here lies a potential pitfall: instead of humbly accepting fate’s trials and subduing the ego’s grumbling, the person may complain and force others to bear irreversible losses, thereby becoming a conduit for Pluto’s influence and a dark teacher for them. They may do this quite precisely and almost painlessly, but this substitution will leave them unprepared for the stronger Pluto influence that will inevitably and swiftly force them to make the very sacrifices they managed to avoid in this life—and these may far exceed what they avoided before.

The Pluto trine demands minor but constant sacrifices from the planetary principle, the purpose of which is to transition from the lower octave of the planet to the higher one. The harmony of this transition depends to some extent on the person, but the fact of Pluto’s influence on the planet and its purification through this influence is unavoidable.

Working through this trine allows the person to reach a fundamentally new level in their areas of influence, participating in grand, powerful, and harmonious programs related to the purification and elevation of their principle in the world or their country. Without this work, the person loses individual freedom in the areas governed by the planet and may become a docile puppet of lower (destructive) Plutonian programs.

Intense feelings under the control of the will are expressed with unusual force. Courage and firmness of will in overcoming obstacles on the path to material or spiritual success. They often intuitively grasp the causes underlying objective phenomena. To express objective and realistic thoughts, they use the power of will and imagination, as they instinctively create a force of thought accumulated by will and energy.

Energy, enthusiasm, the ability to command attention, popularity, success, prosperity, and good fortune. The negative side of these aspects is the desire to exploit these abilities for personal gain.
