Pluto and Possession

(Here I’m referring to relationships, not medieval-style spirit possession. That’s an entirely separate conversation.)

I was surfing through Elsa’s archives when I came upon a comment I found most fascinating:

I know I’m Plutonian. And I have a very close relationship (someone I think who would be, in Elsa-speak, my soldier – though he’s not a soldier, but a musician) … who is also. Our energy together is like soul mates. But I think it’s really just that Pluto / spiritual connection. We fear not each others wounds. And bond by them instead. Even if he ends up marrying someone else, he’s still mine. And I’m still his. If not this life time than the next. And we both agree this the case.

I have first house house Pluto conjunct Mercury plugged into a grand trine. He has a stellium in the 8th with Scorpio rising.

This is such a Plutonian idea- a connection so profound, a claim upon another person that runs so deep that you’re willing to cross multiple lifetimes to honor it… I post this here because I could have written it myself. Most people would declare this absolute lunacy, but I know you Pluto people are nodding your heads sympathetically.

Are any of you out there in a similar situation?

    Wow, I understand this in such a deep way. It’s so comforting (especially in times like these) to read, articulated, feelings I experience about a person in my life. We’ve been through many on and off phases, but we knew there was a connection the instant we sat down for the first time and spoke to one another. Even in the off times, it never really felt like it was “over”, I used to say I always expect to end up with him but now I think it’s that I always expect we will love each other. And I think that transcends traditional ideas of the labels, binds, expectations, restrictions put into the idea of “relationship.”

    Anyway, we understand and complement each other in a deep way, I can’t even begin to put it into words, I just feel it and I know.

    Just getting into the Astrology game myself, but here are some specs, I’m a Cappy sun with Taurus rising, he’s a Saggo sun with Virgo rising (man I love me some fire signs :P ), I’ve got Pluto in Scorp in the 7th conjuct my Ascendant. He’s got some funky stuff going on in his chart that I have yet to make sense of with respect to this topic.

    must learn more about Pluto lol

    Bram Stoker’s Dracula “I have crossed oceans of time to find you” strikes a chord.

    That’s a deep question.

    We’re born already knowing heartbreak well, it feels sometimes. But what other alternative is there but to go into the darkness and look? Bonding over wounds has Chironic connotations as well.

    Funny that you mention the Chiron connection. It intensifies and makes very painful an already distressful situation. Plutonic relationships appear to be unavoidable, or at least fated to some extent. Even though you want to walk away, the bonds are too deep and too binding to allow you to get away unscathed; without leaving some integral part of you behind, forever.

    One astrologer said it’s like the Mummy, returned from the dead to claim his one and only lost love, lol. Pluto loves hardest & longest. (laughing) Seriously, some Plutonic relationships you want to run from or escape, yet you keep getting caught in the nets or dragged back (by the hair) lol, no matter how hard you try to get away.

    Others you lose yourself in and can’t find the way back to your original self, nor do you want to, yet there is still this wish that it wasn’t so Godawful painful. You reach for Heaven yet experience hell in a Plutonian relationship. The relationship itself is like the light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is long, dark and endless.

    It’s interesting how no one says their person is their significant other now. I wonder if these ties become too heavy to maintain in a relationship? Even if they’re someone who understands you so well, as has been discussed?

    Soulmate, Twinflame, True Love all of these apply ^_^. The tie is strong, sometimes too strong for the other person to deal with. It can push you apart, you just never stop thinking of each other. You can’t replace them no matter how hard you try.

    A very good Psychic said that she and her twinflame knew they were bonded but couldn’t live with each other. It’s like you’re together, yet your journey is apart, temporarily, until you can come together once and for all. Like we all have certain lessons to learn and sometimes those lessons have to be learned alone or with someone else.

    I loved the blog and my advise is simple…why not? the spirit is the essence of feeling and personality. the way you react to surrounding in this life should be no different in the next and then the next. love has ties eternal. My twin sons told me when they were only 4 years old that they were friends when they were “all grown up” i was at first confused, I hadn’t mentioned reincarnation to them or around them, I wasn’t even sure if I had an opinion on the subject at the time…. but after listening to them tell me all about their close friendship and how they worked together (one a prosecution lawyer the other a police officer)… i did soon have an opinion and that is that ties are not broken by death.

    Funny, I see that constantly, and as part of the PROCESS. As for me, I think I’m casting out ex-pretenders or lovers of previous lives, because everything goes wrong, as if their souls lost or won anything that does not fit me no more! I’m cancer , sun in 8th, moon and Lilith in Scorpio, moon in 12th house.
