Here you can read more about Planet Pluto
Pluto, the dwarf planet is a generational planet that stays in the same Zodiac Sign for approximately 12-30 years (it has such an erratic orbit).
Therefore, in each generation, people have Pluto in the same Zodiac sign in their natal chart.
If it is located in the first house in the natal chart the closer it is to the Ascendant degree, the more potent and powerful its energy on the native’s life.
Pluto in 1st house and personality
People who have Pluto in the 1st house in the natal chart are Plutonic people, who are the incarnation of this planet.
As the Ascendant talks about personality, no one has as intense personality as people with Pluto closely located to their Ascendant.
They have such a strong and powerful presence even if they are silent, they cannot be ignored.
Their strong personality manifest in a way that other people feel powerless in their presence. And that is the reason other people either love them, are infatuated and even obsessed with them, or the opposite. Hate them and can’t stand them. There is no in-between with them. Pluto is such an extreme planet in every possible way.
Pluto rules power, power over others, hidden power. It has the power of an atomic bomb. Therefore, these people can control others, and manipulate others. And it is difficult to cope with or handle.
This is the reason the most negative manifestation of Pluto is to be a predator, a criminal. And not only a petty criminal but someone who works for a criminal organization or simply takes abuses their power in some way.
Manipulation, power struggles, and lies
Manipulation, power struggles, and being an agent provocateur take a significant role in their lives. However, it all depends on their consciousness and how they use or handle this powerful energy they possess. Because they can be healers who heal/transform the world.
Even though they are secretive and private people, don’t share much about their lives still they are the ones who know all the secrets of other people. It might be due to their occupation to deal with confidential information, or simply due to their personality that others trust them and open up to them. And also they have a sense to “read people”. They can see-through people and just know them.
Don’t even try to lie to them. Even if they do it to you.
These people cannot live a lie, therefore they don’t lie to themselves. Maybe this is the secret of their personal power.
These people are deep. Deep souls. No lighthearted connection or conversations with them!
They have depth. They won’t engage in small talk or meaningless conversations, let alone meaningless relationships.
From their penetrative look to their penetrative questions, these people aren’t afraid to penetrate other people’s souls. To get under the skin of the other person.
And those who crave meaningful and deep connections are fascinated by these plutonic people. Though for others, getting under their skin might feel intimidating and uncomfortable.
Transformation
Ascendant shows the personality, the body, the look, and the path of life of the native.
People with Pluto close to the Ascendant go through such a significant transformation that it feels like a rebirth to them.
That transformation can be on appearance. They change it in such a significant way that others won’t recognize them.
Probably, the most intense transformation happens in the course of life. They begin in one way and end in a totally different way. For example, born into poverty and dies rich.
Or their personality changes in such a dramatic way.
Wherever Pluto is located in the natal chart, the native experiences the most powerful growth in that particular area of life that is under the influence of Pluto.
In other words, for these people, dramatic transformation and growth happen in their personalities.
That personality transformation might happen due to receiving a lot of criticism constantly. And they are very sensitive souls, so critics really hurt them and trigger them to change themselves, to work on their personalities.
Or they get abused at a young age and heal and empower themselves so they can heal and empower others.
And rest assured, these people work a lot on themselves and go through a lot of pain and suffering too.
Death and rebirth
The transformation they got through might feel like a rebirth.
Everyone experiences significant endings and new beginnings thought their lives, as everyone has Pluto transits a couple of times.
Still, for these people, those so-called endings and new beginnings are more dramatic, and more intense than for others. It feels like letting go of a part of their identity.
And literal death too. Those significant endings (career, relationship, etc.) in their lives that trigger psychological transformation make them a daredevil.
At some stage in their lives, they are forced to face their deepest fears and overcome their inner demons. And nothing can make a person as powerful and strong as fighting with their own demons and overcoming fears.
Survivors
These people are like cats with 9 lives. Survivors.
However, unlike Capricorn people, who could survive in spartan conditions, with a lot of deprivations and restrictions.
They can survive emotional and psychological suffering. Such as losing a loved one, or something tragic and traumatic. And once they heal their wounds, they can empower themselves, and later heal and empower others.
And they are literal survivors too. They can survive dangerous, life-threatening situations too. Though should not rely on that and take unnecessary risks.
Power over others
A few of the main domains of this dwarf planet are the atomic bomb, criminal organizations, dictators, occult subjects, and hidden wealth.
These people are not only powerful people but have power over others. If they look at you can are under their control, under their domain.
What happens if they encounter another plutonic person? Power struggles happen.
Obsession
Pluto doesn’t only rule strong desires but obsessions too.
These people are either obsessed with something or someone. Or others develop an obsession with them.
Excel at something, laser focus
Same as Scorpio people, these plutonic people have the ability to keep a sharp laser focus.
And that is the reason these people might drawn to extreme sports because they enjoy being in life-or-death situations and they can activate that laser focus. For example, they might do extreme sports, such as motor racing.
Similarly, they can maintain their laser focus in the long run too. And this “skill” or ability helps them to excel at something, to go deep into a subject, and be an expert. Again, they do nothing lightheartedly.
Pluto in 1st house and physical appearance
Pluto on the Ascendant (the body and look) darkens the hair, the skin, and the eyes.
And they have such memorable and penetrative eyes.
If they look at you, you might feel they can see through you, see your darkest secrets and deepest fears. It can be intimidating for some.
The sexual energy they exude is either magnetic and mesmerizing or activates other people’s dark sexual fantasies. They prefer wearing black or dark-colored clothes and not showing off their bodies.
Pluto in 1st house and marriage
Given the powerful personality and depth they possess, they need a partner who can handle their intensity and aren’t afraid of deep connection. These people can be loyal partners for a lifetime and crave for long-lasting intimacy.
Probably another plutonic person could understand their depth and strong desires.
Pluto in 1st house and career
The dwarf planet is not a career indicator, however, if it is located on the Ascendant influences the personality and the path of life of the native.
Their possible occupation can be a psychologist, sexual therapists, criminals, extreme sports athletes, occultists, astrologers, and politicians. Any job position that comes with power is suitable for them.
They might work as a healer of some sort. As they have therapeutic healing power and once, they healed themsleves they activate that healing power to help others.
Most often they think about healing the whole world or think a lot about how to heal the masses or bring welfare to the world. Universal welfare.
Pluto in 1st house and wealth
As this planet rules power of all sorts and is powerful, these people might have such big wealth that have power over others, or their wealth gives them power. Because apparently, money is power.
