Pluto in the 4th House

 Pluto: The Transformer

In mythology, Pluto is the dark and powerful god of the underworld. He ruled over the dead and was the keeper of souls. Ultimately, all mortals were destined to meet with Pluto – death being inevitable. His will was irrevocable – having entered the underworld there was no return. Psychologically Pluto relates to our capacity for regeneration and renewal. Every so often we must end that which has becomes old and outworn and clear the way for new life. Our ongoing growth and development necessitates a process of transformation. We need to change – to let go of the past and begin afresh.

With Pluto in the fourth house, the individual must turn within and establish a clear connection with how they feel. Through opening up on an emotional level, they allow themselves to enter into a deeper relationship with their immediate relations and close friends.

Neptune in the 6th House

Neptune: The Mystic

Neptune is the god of the oceans. In dreams and myth water and the ocean are symbolic of a formless realm from which new life may emerge. When we are lost we say that we ‘at sea’. Yet, in the depths we may also find ourselves. The Christian process of baptism requires an immersion in water so that one may be reborn into the glory of God. Psychologically, Neptune relates to our ability to go beyond ourselves. Neptune is our religious or spiritual urge – the desire to transcend our individuality and experience the oneness of life. In losing our sense of self, we are born to a whole new world.

Saturn in the 3rd House

Saturn: Lord of the Boundaries

Saturn is the god of the harvest. Usually depicted carrying a sickle, he rewarded the efforts of a long season of toil. In Greek myth he is the grey bearded Chronos, the lord of time. As the wise old man, or Old Father Time, Saturn represents the maturity and wisdom born of experience. Traditional astrology, however, defines Saturn as the great malefic. Rather than wisdom and bounty, his placement is said to define where we suffer restriction and denial. For Saturn is also a hardened task-master. As the god of time and labour he rewards only that which is the result of hard work.

With Saturn in the third house the individual must learn to voice their own perspective.
