Pluto may be the most powerful planet and the most hidden part of us. Pluto rules Scorpio and the 8th house. The 8th house is the house of taboos, whether emotional, societal or sexual. If you cannot say it at a cocktail party, the 8th house rules it. Scorpio has piercing eyes. He sees all. He knows all, seemingly effortlessly. Don’t try to fool a strong Plutonian person. He will laugh in your face and walk out the door. Pluto is not for the faint of heart. That being said, our topic is Pluto in the 12th house, Neptune’s house, the house of things mystical and spiritual. How does Pluto work, there?
The 12th house is not Pluto’s natural home, far from it. Pluto may simmer within, but he does need to express himself. He will satisfy his passions, as he is the most passionate planet of the Zodiac. However, in the 12th house, he cannot do this directly, as that is the nature of the 12th house. His passions may turn inward. He may have secret fantasies, which he despairs of sharing. His passions, instead of going outward for satisfaction, turn inward, to secret rituals, and a secret sexual life, perhaps. The person with Pluto in the 12th needs to be aware of the powder keg planet which lies in a house which does not want to express itself, directly. This person, more than others, needs a confidante to whom he can unburden himself, someone to whom he can be completely honest,as when one is honest, one’s burdens lift.
