Pluto finished transiting my 9th house. At long last, the ordeal is over. I learned about Sagittarius and the 9th House to a degree beyond imagining and also discovered what ‘pervasive’ actually means.
The 9th House, of one’s philosophy and worldview, religion and spirituality, higher reasoning and academic studies, is destroyed while Pluto transits. Our worldview is destroyed and must, thence, be rebuilt. My 9th is also in Sagittarius.
I lost my rose-coloured spectacles.
I am still idealistic. I have a vision of reality and hold future goals of a world where all people live in diversity but not in conflict, a world where trust and enjoyment are the basis of society. However, my ideals no longer form part of my daily perceptions.
The brutality of neoliberalism, identity politics, and religions have sunk in. What has sunk in also is that it makes no different where someone comes from or what they look like: we are all homo sapiens. I see through the eyes of Pluto, now.
My worldview was predicated on the role I played in my family dynamic. This was the last element of my worldview to be destroyed and just a few months ago it was, too. This path of destruction began in 2008 in Osaka…
First, I hit a bollard while cycling to work and broke my arm. How’s that for destruction? Nothing compared to the abject carelessness of the hospital staff. I sat on the hospital bed with my smashed elbow in a sling for 5 hours before a nurse happened by. She didn’t help me get into bed but she did inform me that I was to sleep there and that the lights were going out.
Actually, before that, I contracted a rare and fatal disease. Death is a companion who is with me every day. How’s that for Pluto in the 9th, death and overseas? Yay, Western medicine: still here!
Next, I became the head teacher of an advanced learning programme at a university. I realised, very painfully and slowly, that most people don’t care about their jobs: get paid and go home early. I quit the uni, the company, and the city. My passion for education worked to my detriment.
Then I began to question my instincts. Dreaming of murdering wolf pups, I was disturbed at the imagery. Instincts to run, to be wild and free, to dominate, and to be natural.
Being bullied and betrayed by employers and co-workers at various times worked in tandem with my growing awareness of racial harassment, something which occurred night and day in Tokyo. You’ll only notice this once you’ve lived there for a while or are already aware of how the Japanese do it. Otherwise, I recommend visiting this fantastic country!
Okonomiyaki, real fresh sushi made by a master, tempura, any food there, really. Please enjoy and do not look at the scales when you return home.
The end of my life in Japan was moving to Canada but just a week before doing that, COVID happened and I ended up tumbling down an avalanche into Australia, a culture unrecognisable after 20 years away.
Home and income gone, career ended, dreams of love and a new future destroyed, and brought face to face with the trauma I’d avoided for 25 years, living in the house where it all happened.
The end of Pluto transiting my 9th coincided with the end of my family relationships. No more emotional coercion or physical and verbal assault. Suicidal thought had become a habit in my 30s and escalated to commitment in my late 40s, but I resolved my instincts for these just as Pluto exited my 9th. This was directly due to addressing my family dynamic role. Such good timing. I love Astrology.
Pluto transiting the MC: no stable home, no income, no career, no social status. I’m beginning again, and not as if I were 18, but from the beginning of me. I lost my rose coloured spectacles and am teaching myself to navigate an alien culture so as to create a career: Step 1.
In my case, the complete destruction of my worldview has resulted in the necessity to rebuild my social status from scratch. The pervading influence of one’s worldview may be easily undervalued yet, when it changes, everything based on it must needs also change.
My faith in university and religion have both been destroyed. I no longer expect other people to know what ‘co-operation’ is, let alone assume others function on this principle. I seldom employ death as a coping mechanism but see threats around me and in society more clearly. I am more cautious and this is no mean feat for someone with an Aries ASC.
The destruction of my worldview has finished and now I begin rebuilding my world.
