Description
Discover how understanding Pluto in your birth chart can help you understand aspects of your childhood, adulthood, and your life.
In Healing Pluto Problems, Donna Cunningham explains how Pluto functions in the birth chart and shows how Plutonian problems can manifest throughout one’s life. Pluto’s energy is extremely potent and powerful. In astrology, it is considered a “generational planet”—the length of its orbit (248 years) means it influences both individuals and entire generations as it travels through the zodiac. Cunningham shows how transiting Pluto aspects can affect childhood, adulthood, and life in general.
Symbolically, Pluto governs our compulsive behavior—all those things we know we shouldn’t do but feel compelled to do anyway. It also represents the hidden dimension of our emotional lives, all the parts of ourselves that we’d rather bury in our subconscious and not reveal to others. With numerous case studies to bring her insights to life, Cunningham’s interpretations, written with care and compassion, are straightforward and easy to grasp. She presents her material with warmth and empathy, without avoiding the tough lessons that Pluto has to offer.
Cunningham addresses such topics as
Guilt, resentment, and fear
Emotional secrets and their contribution to self-isolation
Incest, abuse, and domestic violence
Pluto and the need for power and control
The psychology of being a victim
Death and transformation
The consequences of avoiding grief
Interested not only in diagnosing Pluto problems, Cunningham also gives us tools for healing those problems—affirmations, flower remedies, exercises for working with the chakras—and shows us how to use Pluto transits for growth.
