The Gifts of the Pluto: Pluto gives us encounters with the uncontrollable: death, our partners, losses, ego confrontations, occult experiences, and other crises that force us both to rise to the occasion and to surrender, or stand up for, ourselves. Our capacity to resolve issues, to penetrate mysteries, to be a conduit for healing energies and insights, to face another with themselves, to face ourselves, to surmount inner and outer obstacles, and to totally unite with another are the gifts of Pluto. The lessons Pluto has to learn: Here we need to learn to let go of willfulness, our desire to control the situation or another person, our lusts, most primitive urges, greed, and heights of self-interest, our excessive attack & defense mechanisms, fixations, rigid beliefs, and our morbidity. We need to bring our hidden Shadow material to the light.
