Pluto and the Ascendant in favorable aspect

Astrological aspects: general introduction

The analysis of a natal chart must be as comprehensive as possible. This is what we do as we make our personalized reports available in our e-shop. It must be borne in mind that many astrologers concentrate on the interpretation of planets in signs and in houses, and of angles, without paying enough attention to aspects. On the contrary, we believe that when aspects involve personal planets between themselves or slow-moving planets, they are of fundamental importance. In all cases, they are at least as significant as the Ascendant or the Sun. This is particularly relevant when the orb is tight (i.e. when the aspect is exact). We have applied this condition to this new series of articles on aspects, specifically describing how famous personalities experience them.

Pluto and the Ascendant in harmonious aspect

In this article, we examine the major favorable relationship between Pluto and the Ascendant, whether it's a favorable conjunction - that is, not receiving any negative aspects - a sextile, or a trine.

The Ascendant, one of the four angles of the birth chart, forms the relational axis with the Descendant. It is the gateway to the first house, which pertains to the native's personality, sometimes describing their appearance, the way they present themselves to the world, and their social behavior. It also provides information about their vitality and health.

With the Descendant opposite, it indicates how others perceive them, even if this perception does not necessarily correspond to their deep self or true character.

It is important to note that the position of the Ascendant in a zodiac sign changes about every two hours, making it very personal. Thus, individuals born on the same day, but a few hours or minutes apart, will not be alike.

We should add that the presence of a planet in close connection with the Ascendant has a considerable impact, adding a color, an additional symbolism to those of the sign where the Ascendant is located. Sometimes, the compatibility is great; in other cases, the blend is less obvious, creating interesting contrasts.

As the most distant planet in the solar system, Pluto is as unique as it is fascinating.

It governs Scorpio, a sign with which it shares common traits. Thus, Pluto rules over the underground forces, the capacity for transformation and regeneration, unsuspected resources, and hidden power.

Pluto brings charisma, mystery, the ability to subtly yet strongly dominate one's close ones and environment, and an elusive and intense charm.

Here, we deliberately focus on the positive symbols of Pluto, since we are concentrating on the harmonious aspects that the planet forms with the Ascendant.

In order to better explain this aspect, we are mentioning several well-known personalities: Richard Branson (favorable conjunction), Mylčne Farmer (favorable conjunction), Omar Sy (favorable conjunction), and Asia Argento (favorable conjunction).

This article deliberately isolates the aspects so as to better describe them. For this reason, it claims on no account to be a psychological analysis of the celebrity in question, for whom many other articles are available in the "Focus" section.

It is possible to find thousands of other horoscopes having Pluto and the Ascendant in favorable aspect (or any other aspects), with the online tool search. The planets, positions in sign and in house as well as the orb, are configurable.

The British entrepreneur Richard Branson, globally famous for founding the Virgin Group, truly embodies the Plutonian spirit.

The weight of the planet, compared to the other nine in his astrological chart, is indeed very significant, amounting to about one-fifth of the total influence. This gives him a determination far greater than that of a traditional Cancer native, which is his Sun sign.

His biography attests to this ability to bounce back, a typical trait of Pluto. In his case, the planet is in conjunction with his Ascendant in Leo, prompting him to make authoritative decisions and to prioritize his choices over the opinions of others, which is preferable for a leader.

Furthermore, the planet forms a sextile with Mars, which is in the third house and in Libra. This connection explains his abundance of energy, as well as an orientation towards communication in a broad sense and the field of transportation.

By diversifying his entrepreneurial activities, initially active in commerce and going through various fortunes, even to the point of creating an airline, Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson has gradually built a true empire.

His ability to construct a kind of spider's web, allowing him to pull the strings of all his projects, is characteristic of a Plutonian.

Astrologers will also note the interception of Scorpio in his astrological chart. Most of them see this as a source of blockages or frustrations to overcome. Richard Branson has therefore managed to compensate for the lack of depth of vision, which is the challenge of this position.

By focusing on self-improvement, he emerged stronger.

Recently, he also demonstrated his daring by successfully completing his first space flight in July 2023.

Mylčne Farmer

Mylène Farmer / Author : Museedepeinture 06-2019 / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en)

When she made her debut on the French scene in 1984, Mylčne Farmer captured attention by adopting a unique, unconventional, and even downright provocative posture.

Her first album, featuring an evocative Plutonian title, Libertine, made a lasting impression.

Furthermore, Mylčne Farmer completed her Plutonian transformation by choosing a red hairstyle and all-black outfits. This gothic and sexy appearance became her trademark. She then achieved fame with her highly polished shows.

Playing on her vulnerability by contrast, she explored somewhat daring themes, sometimes considered scandalous, but always original for the time. She never shied away from controversy.

Pluto, conjunct the Ascendant and located in the reserved sign of Virgo in her natal chart, accentuated these paradoxes. It gives her a touch of madness or an ambiguous aura.

The planet, ruling Scorpio, also forms a sextile with Neptune in the third house: the artist is inspired, particularly in exploring the unsaid, enabling her to communicate perfectly with her audience.

Mylčne Farmer has transcended eras, winning recognition and the loyalty of fans who revere her for her mystery, a Plutonian characteristic.

The singer has also been private about her personal life, carefully cultivating the art of rare confidences as she reached the pinnacle of her fame.

Her fortune matches her success, although the artist is also sparing with information in this area.

Omar Sy

A native of Capricorn, Omar Sy, one of the most popular French actors who has had a very successful career abroad, is full of contradictions.

Pluto plays a large part in this, with its presence at the cusp of his Ascendant in Libra. This position highlights both a desire to charm and a very strong charisma.

His journey led him from very humble beginnings, after facing the demands of factory work for some time. He then quickly seized his opportunity, becoming a beloved comedian and humorist known for his chameleon-like aspects.

He later made a successful solo transition to cinema, showcasing Pluto's transformative capacity.

His role in the 2011 film The Intouchables, directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, in which he played a character who comes out of prison to become the caregiver of a wealthy quadriplegic, earned him acclaim from critics and audiences alike.

Indeed, he evolved in a completely Plutonian register in this film. It is also worth noting that the planet rules the 2nd house of his astrological chart, which is related to gains earned through work.

Having risen from a disadvantaged suburb of Paris to now commanding a yearly salary of several million euros, he demonstrates Pluto's ingenuity when it comes to money.

Asia Argento

Since her debut, Asia Argento, daughter of the famous Italian director Dario Argento, has been known for her sulfurous personality.

Under her father's direction, she took her first steps in the role of Aura Petrescu in the film "Trauma," portraying a young woman confronted with terrifying situations: a role tailor-made for this native with an Ascendant in Libra, hosting a dominant Pluto in conjunction.

She later confessed that she hoped in this way to win her father's love. This dialectic of love and worry then marked her life's journey..

She was also one of the first actresses to dare to denounce the behavior of Harvey Weinstein, thus contributing to the #MeToo movement.

This action was seen as a means of transforming a traumatic experience into an opportunity to support women's cause and to promote a healthier environment in the film industry.

Despite the difficulties encountered throughout her career, Asia Argento has managed to stand out as an autodidact, with her insatiable artistic curiosity and a strong spirit.

In addition to her acting successes, she has also made a name for herself in the field of contemporary music, performing as a DJ at prestigious events around the world.

Her image as an unyielding rebel, the mark of Pluto, has helped make her a figure impossible to forget.
