These are global energies of Pluto in Pisces or in the 12th House which must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Pluto in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of Pluto.
The planet Pluto is one of the attributes of the Shadow in the chart, as such it can indicate a Projection of this one, especially intellectual projections on “social entities” (political party, club, syndicate, nation, church, etc.), everything that concerns more directly the psychological quest, the depth of spirit, the intensity of primary instincts.
It can materialize a place of upheavals, fear, destruction, fatality, losses, betrayals, darkness, submission, as it is also a vector of passion, domination, power, self-control, creation of purity.
It is often referred to the higher octave of Mars and is directly related to Scorpio.
As Pluto remains from 12 to 30 years per sign (due to the irregularity of its orbit), its position in houses is more meaningful for the personality. The energy of the sign especially gives a common elemental background coloring to a whole generation, which will apply more personally to the life sector signified by the house. Therefore, focus first on the house affected, the sign giving a background tone.
A great psychological purge
This planet is in an aquatic sector here, under Neptune’s rulership, so it inevitably gains an immeasurable, very significant amount of psychological and emotional depth, bringing together receptiveness and transformative forces, and it may have aspects here that are very “psychoanalytical” in a direct way.
The alchemical processes of calcinatio and solutio are combined together, creating a mixture that may require that many things be brought to the surface from the depths of the unconscious. This may of course allow for a very significant “karmic purge” and thus for things to start over from square one in a gentler way, but it can also be quite destructive and violent and lead to psychological instability.
The energies in this sector of the heavens have much trouble coming out into light and consciousness and being expressed, and this sector may represent such a great karmic burden and force of secretiveness that it is often considered to be a “sector of the shadows.” And inevitably, with Pluto implicated, there is a destructive side that may be added to the mix, requiring rebirth.
This positioning may more directly put people face to face with “the Shadow,” in the Jungian sense of the term this time, and the forces of introspection at work here are so powerful that it also brings up certain energies that involve Depression (as a developmental phase).
In any case, this is very intense, though it is hardly easy for these people to deal with, especially when they are young or as they are faced with activations resulting from Transits and Progressions; the transformation that this positioning may enable over the course of one’s incarnation can be very powerful and truly spectacular, leading to a clear “before/after” and also granting access to wisdom about life, the nature of the world, humanity, God, death, the afterlife, and many metaphysical and existential questions.
Wherever Plutonian forces are in a birth chart, this sector may represent certain fears, but it may also represent work that needs to be done in terms of metamorphosis by way of this sector’s symbolism, and so it is not surprising to find this positioning in people with much artistic flair, psychic gifts, or religious fervor. On the other hand, this is also likely to occur in the context of a struggle or confrontation (including against oneself at times, as well as against an unconscious that is potentially very violent).
Going on a monastic, initiatory “retreat,” and facing the parts of themselves that are connected to solitude, withdrawal, analysis, and understanding may have a powerful cleansing effect on these people’s development, as these things are salutary and have powerful healing abilities.
It may in fact be pertinent with this positioning of Pluto in the 12th house / Pisces to more specifically analyze the position of the asteroid Chiron, which is a sign of both hurt and the sublimation that this hurt may enable, and also of course what is happening in the 8th house.
In terms of negatives, it is important to find ways of channeling these forces, since otherwise these people run the risk of being frequently overwhelmed by what they “pick up on,” as they even pick up on the collective unconscious.
Finding ways of consciously expressing these energies is important so that these people no longer have to passively experience them (including being faced with fatality or “other people’s power”), and instead can find a use for them, a function, as they discover their own inner power (all while avoiding being a “time bomb” and without their emotional levees breaking).
In some ways, this positioning may activate a form of masochism, self-denigration, and self-accountability, and it may lead people to feel emotionally responsible for many different things and have a devitalizing effect on them.
In traditional astrology, the 12th house was also called “the house of secret enemies,” which symbolically can lead to various obsessive behaviors, blackmail, manipulation, power struggles, or jealousy, all of which they may either be subjected to or subject others to, and they should try to protect themselves as much as possible from these things, for example by moving away from a “toxic” environment, potentially even one involving family.
Pluto retrograde in the 12th house and Pisces
Retrograde motion here tends to make this planet even more introverted, giving it additional levels of depth and thus heightening any difficulties with externalization that are already present, instead intensifying tendencies that are more receptive, imaginative, etc.
Retrograde motion of Pluto in a birth chart is much less important than for other dominant features of a birth chart, since, as it is a very slow, transpersonal planet, it is retrograde for much of the year.
Nevertheless, it is helpful to monitor the evolution of this retrograde motion through Progressions; a change of state here will not necessarily lead to a specific, noteworthy event, but it may still be an indication of a non-negligible psychological change in how this planet’s energies are used.
