Being caught in an abusive relationship can take up all your time and energy. It can drain your creative juices dry and leave you with a host of health and legal problems. Abuse destroys reputations, families, careers to say nothing of trust and self worth.
Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld, is the herald of abuse, especially when it is located in the powerful angular houses of the Descendant or Midheaven or MC (Medium Coeli) in your natal or progressed natal chart or, correspondingly, in those areas of your astrocartography location astrology map.
When Pluto is unexpected
Many people who lack previous experience with these volatile placements of Pluto move under one or both of these influences when they innocently change location.
The unlucky ones experience its destructive aspects without ever realizing that it is astrological in origin and how knowing that can empower them to free themselves even if they never leave the location.
Relationships change radically with a move.
In my four decades of astrocartography location astrology practice I’ve seen many a relationship that’s been harmonious for 20 years turn abusive with a move. Usually neither party knows what happened. They only know that they stopped getting along once they changed location and things spun out of control from there.
Inevitably, when we look at their astrocartography location astrology map, we find the cause.
Unlocking the mystery
Wherever we’re located, the planets that move into our Descendant will affect how the people we’re closest to treat us. They channel the energy of the planets in that part of our astrocartography map into our lives, awakening our awareness of the planet’s nature. When that planet is Pluto, it can be quite challenging. One’s closest friends or intimate partners can begin to behave like their worst enemy.
When your birth chart Pluto is located in (or relocated to if you are no longer in your birth place) the MC (Medium Coeli) or Midheaven area of your chart or map, you may experience the outside world as a hostile place. People you make contact with in your professional life or anywhere in public may be cold, distant or cruel, jealous or undermining in some way. Having done nothing to provoke this behavior, you may feel isolated and confused or wonder why they are mistreating you.
Everything experienced in the phenomenal world on our planet has a corresponding astrological causation. But the beauty of discovering that, not only is it astrological, it is being stimulated into existence by our location is that now you understand the primary cause of the problem.
Getting to the root so you can heal
It’s like getting to the root of a health issue. If you know the cause, you can heal the symptom much more easily. You may choose to move away from an influence, or if that’s impractical or undesirable, you can learn to work with the planet’s nature and in so doing, enter a flow with it. In this way we begin to gain energy from our connection to the Celestial Bodies rather than lose it to our human ignorance.
Astrocartography location astrology is a gift from the Celestial realms. It reveals the master plan to all of those who have eyes to see how valuable a tool this map of your life truly is. And anyone who has discovered how liberating it is to understand the information the map contains has the opportunity to be liberated by it.
The bottom line
This great contribution to the ancient astrological lexicon of knowledge for the Aquarian Age is nothing short of the missing link in the human journey.
