- Boundaries with receipts
- Repair that’s measurable
⚠️ When it struggles
- Control as a love language
- Tests, secrets, power games
- Burn-it-down impatience
🧭 Feed it well

Pluto FAQ
Is Pluto always intense?
Intensity is the point—but it can be clean. Aim for truth + repair, not drama. Watch your Pluto house for where to go deep, not wide.
Will I have a Pluto return?
Personally, unlikely (≈248-year cycle). Focus on Pluto transits to your angles and personal planets—they’re the life-changers.
How does Pluto affect compatibility?
Plutonian links add magnetism and deep-bond tests. Great for honest intimacy; heavy if power is lopsided. Compare with their Venus, Mars, and Moon via compatibility.
