;irst 0ouse 4luto or 4luto in Aries3)he

first house signifies the instinctual self,the public image by which one strives tobe seen by others )he individual withnatal 4luto here might think they knowwho they are, but they actually dont geta free pass to be that version any moreircumstances and people come intotheir life which are directing them to tryout new paths of character e#pression Iimagine that back several thousandyears ago when the vernal e'uino#precessed through the sign of Aries and4luto also transited the sign, this was anespecially e#citing time to embrace thepatriarchal warrior archetype as adevelopmental model for civili"ation Ifyou were a man, it was a good time todevelop new character by going forthand con'uering the neighbors, tramplingthe dignity, rights and value of womenand nature in general, asserting thedivinely sanctioned rights of a ruling

elite

)he modern first house version often

comes across initially as 'uiet andreserved, however can be 'uitecharismatic+ many possesses the abilityto charm people professionally, as inbeing a high.powered salesman All hellcan break loose when this normally mildperson is provoked however, or if they

feel the need to take a serious stand onan issue )he first house 4luto individualhas a boundless, hidden reservoir ofstrength, tenacity and survival smarts4ositively, this sort of 4lutonian may befreer than many to reali"e greatachievement, because they seem to beunfettered by the detritus ofaccumulated programming at cellular,reactive or mental levels of being )heirslate is wiped clean so as to speak, andthey are embarking on a new adventure,so the internal pilot is not cluttered withe#istential angst In the driven,pioneering sense of the Aries energythat naturally rules the first house, they

%ust want to get the %ob done

If getting close to a first houseindividual, as in being a family memberor friend, one must become accustomedto the irregular schedule of their

behavior and availability 5enerally, they


10/62

will be socially gregarious and eminentlycharming for awhile, followed by aperiod of sudden coldness+ withdrawal

can occur in the literal physical sense, oras part of an alternating cycle ofintroversion and e#troversion )heperson may simply hide out in thegarage or actually disappear into secretactivities of their own device $ecausetheir instinctual self.identity is in the

process of component selection, theywill first bound out vigorously to initiatepro%ects, engage socially in order tocollect data, then periodically retreat inorder to analy"e, order and incorporatewhat they have learned ;or e#ample,the first house super.salesman I know is

on the road constantly for his %ob,therefore he has a built.in good e#cusefor not interfacing with family affairs ona daily basis 0e does, however like tometiculously schedule anyone andeveryone including his wife, for regularvisits in order to catch up on news and

sociali"e)he e#tent of the first house 4lutonian-semotional development seems to governtheir ethical behavior )he morechallenged individual might go formonths being a dutiful workaholic anddedicated parent+ then one day the

pressure of suppressing the rest of ones

self becomes too much Suddenly anose.to.the grindstone moral pillar ofthe community might need to go out of

town on a gambling sprees or dabble ina love affair on the side An insecurefirst 0ouse 4lutonian might also e#pectothers around him to reflect a certainversion of reality that he or she hasdeemed suitable+ when the other playersdeviate from the rules, this type reacts

with punishment and withholdingbehaviors and can e#cel as theprofessional victim

An unenlightened Arien 4lutonian mightbelieve that want they most is to betheir unvarnished self all of the time+necessity 1forces2 them into beingsomething other than their own visionActually, they can be in determinedavoidance of self.confrontation )heymay not literally possess an authenticinner core of values and characteristics,so will wholeheartedly embrace whichever set guarantees social success+ orearly conditioning has made thembelieve that cultivation of an authenticsense of self is an impracticalproposition anyway A positive e#ampleof a first house 4lutonian in action ishorror genre author Stephen =ing 0ee#pertly navigates between collective

Second 0ouse 4luto or 4luto in )aurus3)he second house in a natal horoscope

chart concerns the concept of value Ifspeaking from the upper balcony, we arereferring to the value a person places onthemselves, as e#pressed through anevolved sense of integrity by which allaffairs in life are conducted Self.valuecan also be e#pressed through the literalassets one accumulates, and towhatever personal status and security isattached ;rom the lower balcony we aresimply talking about how a personmakes and manages money, and how itis spent

(atal 4luto placed in this house

indicates the native is very interested inthe process of survival andor ac'uiringmoney )hey can be very poor atgenerating income, struggling frommonth to month %ust to make ends meetSome may be too la"y to create wealthfor themselves+ therefore they marry it

or find some other way to be a sponge


13/62

Some may make their stash in secretiveways, that are not necessarily legal butdont re'uire showing up nine.to.five

Still others are %ust plain flat good atmaking lots of money, and will tolerateno interference in the pursuit therein&hatever the basic attitude towardsmoney, this 4luto placement is askingone to completely transform theirsurvival values and resource

management relative to both self andinvolvement with others in %ointproceedings

Second 0ouse 4lutonians of myac'uaintance have been fairly narrowand ruthless in focus, the type thatstraightforwardly associate power,security and status with the steadyaccumulation and maintenance ofmoney )hey do not seem to place anyreal value on anything that does not boildown to money+ for e#ample friendship,intimate love, honor or compassion arenice pastimes in which to dabble, butthese can immediately be marginali"edas re'uired by perceived necessity )headmirable side of this type of 4lutoniancan be an ability to si"e up any businesssituation for its true potential, adaptingas necessary to changing circumstancesin the market place+ the clever ones

know when to move on in timely fashion


14/62

in 'uest of new sources of sustenance

(one in my ac'uaintance have freely

given up a single item they haveac'uired, be it people, ideologies,ob%ects, real estate or charity moneyunless they are guaranteed a return ontheir investment )hey would think itdaft to share their resources orthemselves unconditionally with others,

unless forced to do so by crisis+ there isno natural advantage to doing sootherwise Sadly, they may also assumethere is nothing of value withinthemselves, e#cept for their moneymanagement ability or asset ownershipthat could possibly endear them to otherpeople

As an unenlightened second 0ouse4lutonian, the thing one might want themost is a monolithic reservoir of fundsthat guarantees a high wall of securityand leverages the purchase of powerover others If the time for karmic

ad%ustment has arrived, one may befaced with divorce papers because thelucrative mate has moved on to moreinteresting pastures 4erhaps the careercastle suddenly crumbles, and anentirely different means of making aliving must be found via humbly

accepting the help and resources of

other people

Some do cultivate a good chunk of lucre

all by themselves, and they settle forbeing left essentially alone+ this state ofaffairs is supposed to bother theaverage human being eventually, butdoesn-t always /ne well.to.dogentleman I knew ac'uired a mate thatmet the se#ual and social re'uirements

were compromised, perhaps because the


16/62

native had a learning or health handicap,or was moved around a lot when young,or was perhaps terrori"ed by siblings

)he 'uality of the education may havebeen e#ceedingly poor, due tocircumstances completely outside thenatives control &hatever the origin ofthe sentiment, some natives with 4lutoin the third house have an inferioritycomple# about the 'uality and level of

their learning )o address this allegedlack of wisdom, the native may become aperennial student, ever gathering newinformation or belief structures andcategori"ing them, however notnecessarily incorporating any concept onthe gut level /thers are interested in

ac'uiring taboo knowledge andoropenly living an alternate lifestyle Stillothers received an e#cellent education,and are simply interested in welding the&ord as a sword to control the masses,as does a skilled politician or guru

)he mundane third house 4lutonian likesto keep on the move, restlesslyac'uiring new e#periences or newbatches of knowledge but becomingmaster of none )hey want to solidify aninner set core of beliefs, but the core willalways keep changing because theircenter of perception is always shifting

Another e#ample entails the middle of

three daughters from a very wealthyfamily )he girl is college educated, butwas handicapped in her early life withlower back problems that kept her fromattending school regularly 0er family isdevoutly atholic, however she hasmade a point of disavowing organi"ed

religious practices As an adult sheworks as a atholic school teacher andfunctions as the family scapegoat,e#cluded from inheritance because shemarried a man who appears to hold noregular %ob, but does supply regularincome none the less )his samegentleman was first introduced to theparents at a dinner+ he smoothlyremarked that whoever married any ofthe daughters must surely be lucky to bearound so much money )hey have neverbeen invited back for dinner as a couplesince

In a third 0ouse 4lutonian embrace ofkarmic challenge, the foundation of thebelief structure is constantly undergoinga process of revision+ the people andinstitutions they place their faith inconclusively have or will at some point inthe future let them down /r they may

ride to the top of group power through


19/62

being a spokesperson for a cause, onlyto find themselves eventually disgracedor distanced from public reward As with

the second house 4lutonian, the sourceof income may be literally taboo or keptvery secretive in nature, even thoughinwardly one aspires to pristine heightsof aesthetic achievement A very famousthird house 4lutonian who welds wordspowerfully while maintaining an

home base for several years+ they may

would have been untenable to eventhink of selling it for slightly less asparkland to a conservation group

In western countries the desire todisconnect from the natural has been'uite determined, spawning theneuroses, psychoses and disastrousenvironmental policies that characterisemodern life today )he children produced

by the 4luto in ancer generation wereblessed with behavioral dictates fromtheir 4luto in 5emini parents which oftenturned out to be 'uite false and self.destructive for the individual, howeverhome life is often ideali"ed and declaredBswellB, even if the Depressioninterfered All the modern fourth house4lutonians in my realm of e#periencehad lousy early childhood e#periences athome+ these would be of the 4luto in Leogeneration Some were outright abused,se#ually, mentally or physically /therswere benignly neglected because bothparents were too busy working, tooabsorbed in themselves or too warpedfrom their own emotional.se#ualdistortions to spend 'uality time with achild /r life began pleasantly enoughbut then the family moved into town andshortly thereafter the parents got adivorce+ the warmth of cooperative life

was gone overnight and the child blamed


22/62

themselves for the split

ommonly, a home situation is described

wherein the child was not recogni"ed forbeing an individual with uni'ueemotional needs at all, but was treatedas a simple e#tension of the parents)he child was %udged and found lackingto the degree that they did not conformto e#pectations Somehow no honest

knowledge of how enlightened humanbeings should really treat each other outin the world is provided to the fourth0ouse 4lutonian+ one parent might havebeen a martyred saint dictating moralsand manners daily, while her matecommitted adultery and beat the child atevery perceived sign of flagging respect0ow does anyone make sense out ofthat?

So fourth house 4lutonians were oftenstrangely unsociali"ed when they wereyoung, even though they received plentyof practical education up front about the

capriciousness and hypocrisy of theaverage human being As they grew upthey may struggle mightily, learning torely only on themselves and their owninstincts through the e#perience ofbeing e#ploited by others 0owever oncethe lessons were learned many have

become upper level e#ecutives or weld

)hose born with 4luto in ancerenshrined the institutions of home,marriage and family as sacred $ehindthe wholesome image innocence couldbe raped, pain and re%ection inflicted on

offspring asking for unconditional faithand love )he fourth house 4lutonianprogeny of these parents may avoidsharing a permanent home with anyonefor years, or indulge in serialarrangements with various unsuitablepeople, or select a mate that is in someway damaged, therefore in need ofprotection /nce the 4lutonian is seriousabout commitment, they either want acontrolling interest in domestic affairs orthey ac'uire a controlling mate If theselected mate does not maintain thehome environment up to certainstandards, the partner might withdrawemotionally, separate e#penses, demandtotal financial control, bestow love one#tremely conditional terms or evenseek affectionate solace elsewhere as aform of punishment Some are e#pert atkeeping score in the give and take ofrelationship, measuring the degree of

their cooperation and se#ual availability


24/62

by how meticulously the bills are paidand if e#penses are evenly distributed

Somewhat like the first house type, thefourth 0ouse 4lutonian wa#es and wanesin personal availability In connectionwith the degree of emotional buildup,they must sometimes withdraw in orderto process+ if feeling wronged or guiltythey might forego se# for periods of time

while masterfully complaining abouteverything e#cept the real issue )his4lutonian can accumulate undigestedfeelings and emotions to a pathologicaldegree, reflective of the natural fourthhouse rulership of ancer and itsplanetary ruler the 7oon 4hysicalsymptoms can include chronic stomachupset, hernias, gall bladders, kidneystones or constipation )hey maytherefore be an affectuado of e#oticpurge treatments designed to flushto#ins 6or guilt8 from the digestive tract

&hen the fourth house 4lutonian

accumulates a grudge of sufficient mass,they can silently radiate an invisibledeath.ray that bystanders should nottake personally+ it is best to occupyoneself elsewhere until the 4lutoniansfeelings can be safely accessed,evaluated for meaning and content, and

then e#pelled A fourth house 4lutonian


25/62

operating on low fre'uency will never becompletely honest about what is on theirmind, can e#pertly bully and berate with

moral %udgment or inflict physical abuse,as a substitute for claiming ownershipfor their feelings ;amous fourth house4lutonians include


26/62

reality that did not match what the childwas e#periencing It might have beensuch a crime to be one-s own self in the

home, that the parental dictate wastransformed into a survival concept+ ifyou dare become yourself, you will die)he showy, flamboyant, willful personadeveloped out of such circumstances canbe a reactive image created in rebellionagainst the e#treme degree of control or

neglect imposed by the parents, but it isnot necessarily the real self

)he fifth house 4lutonian does seem toget very hung up on being noticed )heycan succeed in their uni'ueness ofe#pression to the point of not being ableto work in a group situation, not becausethey aren-t cooperative, but becauseother members of the team feel toothreatened by the strong e#hibit ofpersona and therefore pull out thetorches and pitchforks /thers areincredibly creative, but must struggleuntil they learn how to formulate andpackage the product in terms thegeneral public can accept Acompromised fifth house 4lutonian mayalso try very hard to sell his creativeproducts to all the wrong people,perhaps echoing an old wound that camefrom trying to please parents who

remained critical or indifferent in the


27/62

face of anything the individual produced

/nce the 4lutonian learns the ropes of

popular marketing or gets the luckybreak they can in turn become users)hey can make a target feel like themost special person on the planet, for

%ust e#actly as long as the person servesa purpose In fact, many members of the4luto in Leo generation serve as role

models for selfishness and ruthlessclimbs of worldly ambition, where themeans %ustify the ends onversely,Some fifth house 4lutonians turnthemselves into living works of art, se#ob%ects or brilliantly creative creatureswho work harder than every one elseand totally undervalue themselves Adda lack of discrimination, teamed with aperverse desire to please+ they get usedand e#ploited by all the wrong people,then discarded when protesting thearrangement

4luto in the fifth can be associated with

sudden unplanned pregnancies, withpeople who suddenly have to getmarried because they or their amourbecame in the family way+ or the personthemselves was unwanted orillegitimate ;or e#ample, 4luto in thefifth in hard aspect to the ruler of the

first house and Scorpio 6ruled by 4luto8

forward to retirement with a comfortablepension $ut let us speak instead ofthose who pace restlessly at the gate ofachievement, rudely proclaiming theirtalent and wisdom, while nevermanaging to steadily punch the timecard

)he si#th is the first transformationalhouse in the "odiacal cycle, where weare supposed to eliminate e#cessivecrystalli"ation of the ego and learn howto function e'uitably within the companyof others for survival )he natural rulerof the house is *irgo+ therefore thelesson of this house might involvelearning how to maintain self.sufficiencythrough commitment to a purpose,followed by efficient planning,organi"ation and then methodicalcompletion of the tasks at hand )heunawakened si#th house 4lutonian does

not feel they should be burdened by


31/62

such re'uirements ;or e#ample therewas the master cabinet maker, veryadept with his hands, however he also

could not bear to work for any companyfor more than si# months at a time&hen tired of the every.day work worldhe made a living by throwingnewspapers and scouring allies or yardsales for goods to sell at the flea market0e had a remarkable knowledge of

seductively talk a person into a highly'uestionable route of action, laterabandoning all responsibility if hisadvice was taken and the victim getsburned In the past he delighted in firsthypnoti"ing lovers with se#ual charm,then breaking them down with cruel

verbal dissection and infidelity, to thepoint of nervous collapse

7y last e#ample concerns a beautifulyoung woman who, aside from a fewlow.paying %obs and a brief stint in themilitary, has not worked much Shesought out and married a high schoolsweetheart who makes a very goodliving in computer electronics )wo yearsago she issued an ultimatum torelatives, stating that if they did notchange their 6in her own opinion8ungracious behavior she was finishedwith them She then moved to anotherstate and kept her word on the matter)he couple recently bought a lovelyhouse in an upscale neighborhood 0erchild is home.schooled She does notcare for much direct contact with theoutside world, therefore edits everycontact her child might have with others

towards people in general has so farkept her sidelined She seems verydetermined to find a way of makingmoney outside of human contact, aspeople en masse do not agree with her

&hat these people and other si#th house

4luto clients have held in common wasan e#ceptionally strong personalpresentation and an insistence at havingtheir way )hey would not easily toleratedeviation or resistance to their demandsfrom anyone A partner would run therisk of severe punishment by going theirown way or minding their own businessIt would be very difficult, if notinconceivable for some of these peopleto casually consider anyone as an e'ual)he issue of superiority or inferioritymay not even come up for considerationin their mind+ they seem interpret theworld from a wholly private point ofprivilege and do things their way, nomatter what price others around themmight have to pay or how many %obs the4lutonian might lose )here is almost nopoint to some of them engaging anastrologer or other type of healingconsultant, as it appears impossible to

nor do they care to It is, after all astruggle for survival+ resourcemanagement including se#ualavailability is at stake here

)hose I have known prefer to govern thechildren, partners or employees undertheir dominion+ love and approval isalways very conditional Like the secondhouse 4lutonian they are masters atdrawing tremendous amounts ofaffection, attention, productivity anddevotion out of people, while nevergiving nearly as much back 4erhaps thisis the dark face of *enus, as she isnatural ruler of both houses )heseventh house 4lutonian does nothesitate to use guilt, criticism and
