Michael Jackson and the "Pluto Maniacal Mutation"
Frederick Woodruff's blog Astro Inquiry is always fascinating and today he dissects the enigma of Michael Jackson through his Jungian lens:Michael Jackson, as I've noted earlier, was a Sun conjunct Pluto Virgo. Unless given almost shamanic-like life training, Sun Pluto individuals...
Interesting analysis!
Wow now I understand why my relationships with people is so weird.
I have a 29 Virgo ascendant as well as 29 Virgo Pluto.
It annoys the heck out of me when I attract people who think I can fix their problems. The relationships start out normally but always end up with them wanting something which they never vocalize (as if I can read minds).
Add to that my moon is in Pisces, Neptune in Sag,Venus, Mars and Saturn in Gemini so I am squared (T-squares, Grand Squares) and opposed to myself. *sigh*
Gary Kent's remark is right on target:
What a read. Thanks Frederick for helping fill in so many blanks. The world’s biggest star, the world’s biggest enigma: Jackson really did fly miles above the normal.
Absolutely breathtaking! The best yet to date of this amazing world icon and universal legend. I'd love to read more and more!!!! Thanks tons.
I found Mr. Woodruff's analysis to be cold, overwrought, and short-sighted.
Thumbs down.
Lynn,
What do you suppose that Frederick meant by this statement: Unless given almost shamanic-like life training, Sun Pluto individuals approach existence from an impetus that most of us can barely fathom?
Does a person with Sun-Pluto need to experience some deep spiritual transforming process in order to handle the manifestations of such an aspect? If not, then what can the Sun-Pluto person do to mitigate or work with the energy of such a combination to keep from falling prey to obsessions and increased isolation like MJ?
Ebbie, people approach their lives and astrological configurations from a wide variety of perspectives, whcih is what makes it difficult to predict exactly how an individual relates to a specific planetary aspect. In addition, it depends on the rest of the chart and the sign that Sun/Pluto is in. Sun/Pluto in Scorpio is much more comfortable than Sun/Pluto in Libra because Scorpio shares the same intensity that Pluto demands while Libra prefers peace and harmony. That said, a Sun/Pluto person will nearly always experience continual transformation in their lives, and the need to let go of the past in order to achieve that transformation. Frederick is saying that the Sun/Pluto person lives deeply and intensely, but you are right that there is a calling to experience that depth in a process of continual transformation. Knowing this, the Sun/Pluto person can begin to let go and allow this process to more easily unfold, trusting that this is their destiny. They must at some point learn to walk willingly into the underworld just as Persephone did, and have the faith that they will emerge anew.
Lynn,
Thank you for your response. I would suspect that those with the conjunction and opposition would have the most difficult time with the continual transformation. I would also suspect that surrendering to the process and trusting it would be just a difficult, particularly if the transformation is thrust upon them by outer circumstances.
Allow me to ask one more question. You wrote that these people "must at some point learn to walk willingly into the underworld just as Persephone did, and have the faith that they will emerge anew." I am familiar with the Persephone myth. But what do you mean by "learn to walk willingly into the underworld"?
