Uranus Pluto Connections

To understand the concept of Uranus Pluto connections, affinities or analogies we first have to go back into the past for a moment.

In the early 80s a "new" approach of assessing major themes in a natal chart saw the light by the "invention" of the so-called "ZIP Code."

It was a method invented by Dr. Zipporah Dobyns (hence the name "ZIP Code") and further propagated by her daughter Maritha Pottenger, that made use of the so-called astrological alphabet.

The concept of the astrological alphabet is that astrology deals with twelve basic ways of being, twelve human drives and modes of operation that are all needed in this world.

These twelve sides of life are mirrored in the natal chart by a planet, a house and a sign.

So it is in the astrological alphabet that Mars, the 1st house and Aries all share the same principles (though they are NOT the same!).

Venus, the 2nd house and Taurus also share the same principles and this goes on for the other planets, signs and houses.

What the theory of the ZIP Code or astrological alphabet presents is that certain groups of planet/house/sign combinations share similar themes.

For example: Mars in Libra or Mars in the 7th house share the same principles. The 7th house is in mundane astrology a Libra house (whatever zodiac sign is on the cusp of the 7th house in the natal chart).

This system has been enhanced by German astrologers who developed their own system based on the same principles but they converted the signs and houses to their respective planetary rulers.

For example: Mars in Libra becomes a Mars/Venus theme because Venus always rules Libra. Mars in the 7th house too becomes a Mars/Venus theme because the 7th house is associated with Libra, which is ruled by Venus in mundane astrology.

Also, the ruler of the 1st house (in mundane astrology ruled by Mars because Mars always rules Aries and Aries is always the 1st sign in the natural order of the zodiac) in the 2nd house (in mundane astrology ruled by Venus as the ruler of Taurus) is another Venus-Mars analogy.

The more you find such analogies, themes or connections between two planets, the more this planetary combination becomes an important part of the natal chart and the life of the native.

To find out the connections or analogies between planets, we take especially into account:

• planets in zodiac signs
• planets in houses
• the aspects between planets (the tighter the stronger)
• the rulerships
• solstice points

Planets in houses are more important and powerful than the planets in the zodiac signs because they work on a more personal and individual level (we use the Topocentric house system which gives almost the same results as the Placidus house system).

When do we have Uranus Pluto connections, themes or analogies?

In most cases, the following configurations are used (there are more though (!) to define Uranus Pluto connections but this would lead us too far and make it more complicated than necessary):

• Pluto in the 11th house
• Uranus in the 8th house
• the ruler of the 8th house in the 11th house
• the ruler of the 11th house in the 8th house
• Uranus in a close conjunction, square or opposition with Pluto (a very exact sextile or trine counts too but in a minor way)
• Uranus at the solstice point of Pluto
• Pluto at the solstice point of Uranus
• Pluto in Aquarius
• Uranus in Scorpio

When at least three of the above listed analogies or connections can be found in the natal chart, we have a very powerful Uranus Pluto connection that will be felt and noticed in the character and life of the native.

What do Uranus Pluto connections signify?

Both, Uranus and Pluto are generational planets, moving very slowly so that their position in the houses and exact aspects (orb 0°0') are more important.

From all the sources we, at Cosmic Technologies, have read that were describing Uranus-Pluto connections, the descriptions by the Munich Rhythm School have been found to be the most accurate according to our experience.

We hereby describe some of the highlights.

In matters of love and romance, this connection reflects some sort of aversion from the mother of the native towards her husband.

In other words, during conception, the mother of the native was in a difficult situation during which she was either very disappointed in her partner or even hated him at that time.

These difficult and tense energies were imprinted during conception and the fertilization process onto the developing 'baby.'

During the baby's further development and after birth, these imprinted energies resulted in the baby/child mirroring the mother's blocked feelings, not trying to feel anything and instead replacing everything with images and an imaginary world (fantasies).

Hence, people having powerful Uranus-Pluto connections in the natal horoscope all experience separation between imagination and feelings and tend to have an extremely well-developed imagination (for good or bad).

They easily feel unloved, which additionally coincides with some other difficulties that may have been present during the birth process (like the risk of suffocation and/or panic situations).

Such additional situations often result in agoraphobia, claustrophobia and other phobias, panic attacks, and a very tense, high-strung and erratic attitude/mindset/behavior when the native has strong Uranus-Pluto connections in the natal chart.

In female natal horoscopes, a powerful Uranus-Pluto connection tends to coincide with repressing female traits or appearance -- reflected by always wearing pants, having a short hair cut, not using make-up (among others).

These indications actually reflect the imprinted disappointment of the mother while conceiving.

Subconsciously repressing such traits is compensated by trying to mimic/mirror more male-oriented attitudes, like becoming more competitive.

For most natives having a powerful Uranus-Pluto connection in the natal horoscope, the male archetypal principles becomes an image that is compulsively/obsessively followed or longed for.

In male natal horoscopes, the repressing female traits too play a role but are outed differently.

The boy starts to compensate the lack of feelings by showing more intensely the male competitive traits following his imagination, even trying to conquer the mother, competing against the father accordingly and in an exaggerated way (in extreme cases resulting in any kind of violence).

Both men and women with a powerful Uranus-Pluto affinity in the natal horoscope have in common:

• a very pronounced fantasy, imagination and 
• easily attracting partners who too have a very rich world of imagination and a (very) sensitive psyche/mind (for good or bad) -- depending on how powerful this connection is.
