Brainstorm: Pluto / Descendant Astrology Aspects

artnership that takes you into The Underworld. You start a relationship with a vampire (metaphorical or not). Relationships transform you (duh). Relationships compel you to undertake extreme behavior. You want to feel the highs and lows of being with someone. You choose an equal then put that person through trials and tribulations. Relationships are like an ordeal. You want to clear out the dead parts of your being through relationships. But then, can you really have an equal, chill relationship with Pluto contacting the descendant? Is it even possible? Maybe.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
― Alice Walker

Power struggles in relationships. Power dynamics. You probably can’t date people your own age. Sexual power struggles. Money power struggles. Marrying a billionaire. If there is no power dynamic, you’re not interested. He’s way older than you? She’s wealthy? She’s your boss? He’s your son’s best friend? The more taboo the better. Somebody needs to keep life interesting.

Bringing taboos into what should be out in the open daylight relationships. Marrying someone from a different class. Relationship from the wrong side of the tracks. Keeping relationships under control. Sugar daddies. Sugar mommies. Sugar babies. Kept women. Concubines. Why does the caged bird sing? Under my thumb. Master and slave. Dominatrix.

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Mud wrestling. Mud-slinging. I’ve got you under my skin. Deep loathing of another person. Despising someone. A relationship that compels you to deviate outside your normal behavior. Death before marriage. So I married an axe murderer. Widows. Widowers. In love with someone who is dead. Love that never dies. Kill Bill. Severed marriages. Lasting affection, for better or worse. Stalkers. Obsession. Wanting a partner who is obsessed with you. Tumultuous relationships. Extreme relationships.

Winner takes ALL in relationship. Bitter endings. Savage divorces. Equally matched polar opposites. In trying to apply dominance over someone you expose all of your own weaknesses. Bringing up other people’s dirt causes you to expose your own dirt. Let sleeping dogs lie. Bringing out the worst in each other. Go knock yourself out.

What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blindspot. The thing that came immediately before, and is already nearly forgotten. Efforts at memory. Reclaiming. People who don’t have your best interests at heart.

Pluto tri-septile Descendant (154° 17’ 08”)

3/7 harmonic This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 3. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 3 = 154° 17’ 08”.

Pluto quad-novile Descendant (160°)

Pluto quin-decile Descendant (165°)

11/24 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle into 15-degree equal segments. Like this, 360 / 24 = 15, then multiply by 11. Like this, 360 / 24 = 15 x 11 = 165.

This aspect does not make sense to me at the moment, but here’s the link.

I would think a quin-decile would take the 360 degrees of a circle, divide by 10, then multiply by 5. Like this 360 / 10 = 36 x 5 = 180. Which is exactly the same as an opposition, because it is a 5/10 harmonic, which reduces to 1/2 harmonic. 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

Pluto opposite Descendant (180°)

2nd harmonic, 1/2. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 2, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

Gaining awareness. Seeing a situation from a new vantage point. Getting distance, and gaining perspective.
