Pluto in the 2nd House

From an evolutionary astrology perspective, Pluto in the 2nd house signifies a soul that has come into this lifetime with a powerful urge to transform their value system and relationship with material resources. This placement suggests that in past lives, there may have been a tendency to define personal worth solely by external possessions, leading to attachments and a sense of security derived from material possessions.

The evolutionary intention with Pluto in the 2nd house is to undergo a profound shift in understanding that true value and security come from within, rather than external sources. This process can involve a dismantling of old belief systems around money, resources, and self-worth, as well as a deep examination of past-life patterns of greed, materialism, and possessiveness.

In this lifetime, individuals with Pluto in the 2nd house are called to cultivate a healthier relationship with money and resources, one that honors their true values and reflects their deepest sense of purpose. This may involve a process of releasing old habits of clinging to possessions or seeking security through financial gain. Ultimately, this placement offers an opportunity to transform the very foundation of one’s value system, leading to a more authentic and fulfilling sense of self-worth and financial security.

How do Pluto Wounds Express Themselves?

The hurt places in you manifest as feelings of self-doubt, illegitimacy, and insecurity. Although they may not show in any obvious sense, they systematically undercut your ability to reach your highest potentials – potentials you truly have, but which no one suspects because they remain so well-hidden. An exaggerated attention to money or physical security can become the arena in which these unconscious insecurities express themselves. (Edited)

Where did the Pluto Wounds Originate?

You are here to heal soul-wounds that originated in a prior lifetime. In that lifetime, you were impacted by some nightmarish kind of material lack that threatened your survival or the survival of those whom you loved. Perhaps poverty was a factor, or perhaps it was famine or plague. It’s possible that you had money and were attacked for it, but lacked the ability to defend yourself. These experiences from a past life can still affect you in the present, and healing them is an important part of your spiritual journey. (Edited)

Healing the Pluto Wounds

Healing your inner-wounds requires you to prove yourself to yourself by gaining faith, through experience, in your ability to be honest and direct about your needs without fearing punishment for doing so. You must learn to ask for what you need, and demand it if necessary. It is important to establish reasonable physical and financial security in this world without falling into an impossible, neurotic fugue of trying to become “perfectly secure.” Keep in mind that no amount of money can achieve that level of security for anyone.

How will my life change if I heal these wounds, what will I feel, what will I gain?

A successful healing journey will gift you with a feeling of finally being able to relax, feeling that you are as safe as anyone can be in this world and in a physical body. You will gain the psychospiritual strength that will allow you to face death with a spirit of faith and psychic ease when your time finally comes, knowing that you have achieved a sense of inner peace and security.

If I don’t invest the time and energy healing these wounds what can I expect?

If you don’t heal your wounds you may slip into a kind of insecure desperation, constantly fearing threats that mostly never actually manifest. You may give too much power to money, worrying about it and compromising yourself to acquire it. Physical security may become so valuable to you that you are afraid to truly live. It’s possible that you may even become a hoarder, holding on tightly to material possessions as a way to feel safe and secure.
