Let's See Which Part of Your Life Is Getting Dragged? By Pluto💀🖤🌀
The 12 Astrological Houses What They Mean and How Pluto Retrograde Affects You There
These houses show where in your life Pluto is stirring up deep transformation during its retrograde. If you know your rising sign, you’ll know which of these areas is currently under construction:
1️⃣ 1st House – Identity, Ego & Self-Image
This is a full-blown personal rebirth. You’re changing how you see yourself and how the world sees you. Pluto here pushes identity shifts, ego deaths, and glow-ups through deep discomfort. You might feel exposed, cracked open, or not “like yourself”—but you’re shedding what never belonged.✨ How it affects you: Total self-transformation. People may treat you differently because you’re embodying a new energy. You're becoming who you actually are—not who you’ve been pretending to be.
2️⃣ 2nd House – Money, Value & Self-Worth
Pluto here wants to burn up scarcity thinking and build real, lasting abundance. You may face financial upheavals or moments that trigger insecurity around your worth.✨ How it affects you: You’re being asked to rewire how you value yourself and what you believe you're worthy of receiving. Money wounds, undervaluing yourself, or clinging to material things get exposed.
3️⃣ 3rd House – Communication, Thought Patterns & Siblings
This house rules your mindset, voice, and the way you share your truth. Secrets might spill. You might uncover hidden beliefs or start speaking very differently.✨ How it affects you: You could experience tech issues, speaking mishaps, or arguments with siblings. Pluto is helping you stop sugarcoating and say what you actually mean.
4️⃣ 4th House – Home, Family & Roots
Pluto here digs into childhood wounds, ancestral patterns, and emotional safety. You may feel the need to move, cut ties, or process generational trauma.✨ How it affects you: Your home life may feel unstable or sacred depending on what needs to be healed. This is inner child healing and emotional detox at its core.
5️⃣ 5th House – Creativity, Romance & Joy
This house rules what makes you feel alive. If you’ve been performing for others or dimming your joy, Pluto wants to fix that.✨ How it affects you: You may face creative blocks, relationship shakeups, or parenting issues—but ultimately, it’s about reclaiming joy, passion, and expression on your terms.
6️⃣ 6th House – Health, Routine & Service
Pluto here breaks down toxic productivity, self-neglect, and control over the little things. It’s burnout season if you're not listening to your body.✨ How it affects you: Your health may demand attention. Your job or day-to-day structure may shift. You’re learning that self-care is not optional—it’s sacred.
7️⃣ 7th House – Relationships & Partnerships
Romantic, business, and personal partnerships are being examined under a microscope. Control, codependency, or projection will rise.✨ How it affects you: If the connection is fake, it falls apart. If it’s real, it evolves. You’re learning what mutual respect and true partnership actually look like.
8️⃣ 8th House – Sex, Power, Death & Shared Resources
This is Pluto’s natural home, so it hits hard. You’re diving into shadow work, intimacy blocks, and power struggles around shared finances or sexuality.✨ How it affects you: You might feel drawn to the occult, therapy, taboo topics, or spiritual death/rebirth themes. It’s intense, but it’s your magic rising.
9️⃣ 9th House – Beliefs, Education & Expansion
Your worldview is being challenged. Religious beliefs, cultural norms, or rigid thinking are being cracked wide open.✨ How it affects you: You may travel, study, teach, or shift your spiritual path. This is about realigning with truth—not inherited belief systems.
🔟 10th House – Career, Reputation & Legacy
Everything tied to your public image, career path, and long-term goals is up for transformation.✨ How it affects you: You may rise fast or collapse completely in your job or status. You’re redefining success—and taking the long road toward something more authentic.
1️⃣1️⃣ 11th House – Community, Friendships & Social Impact
This house rules your audience, your allies, and your larger vision for humanity.✨ How it affects you: You may lose or outgrow friendships. Social media or group dynamics might shift. You’re finding your people—and walking away from what isn’t aligned.
1️⃣2️⃣ 12th House – Subconscious, Isolation & Spiritual Healing
This is the shadow realm. Pluto here works in silence, dreams, and energetic undercurrents.✨ How it affects you: Isolation may feel necessary. You may face anxiety, dreams, or past life wounds. But it’s also a portal for deep spiritual awakening and psychic evolution.
📚 Pluto Is Exposing What They Tried to Bury
In my next blog (dropping right after this!), I go deeper into how so much truth was hidden or dismissed—especially in the ‘90s. We weren’t taught the things we actually needed to know.But Pluto? Oh, Pluto’s coming in to set the record straight 💀🖤🌀
This is collective deconstruction.If you’ve been telling yourself, “Nothing’s happening to me,” or “I don’t think I need to change anything,”…Welp. Surprise. It’s happening. Right now.
And you’re not alone—we’re all going through it, and I’ve been speaking on this wave of deconstruction for a while now.
So if you’re feeling the pressure, the discomfort, the shifting...
💥 That’s Pluto.
💥 That’s your rising sign lighting up a part of your life.
💥 And that’s why this post matters.
