Pluto in 10th House: Power Overwhelming

Angels fell from heaven due to ambition

Pluto in 10th is a person with extreme ups and downs in life. He has an overwhelming desire and hunger for success in the world. This unquenchable thirst for power will lead to his first downfall. Let me explain this concept further. Pluto in 10th NEEDS to fall hard and fail. He needs to die a "death" in his career and gets his ego totally crushed by society before being reborn.

I have seen people with this natal position getting totally destroyed in their first job. They don't just fall, they totally hit rock bottom. One guy I know went to rehab for alcohol addiction while another guy I know was fired from his job suddenly. Both were outstanding staff in their line of work. They were workaholics who put their heart and soul into their career. Yet they will need to experience a spectacular fall from grace and get their spirit broken before they can be transformed. 

Out of the ashes, rises a new bird

Their next career tend to be wildly successful. They will rise to great heights and leave their mark on the world. Tongues will be set wagging about their success. People are always talking about the rise and fall of their reputation. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, they experience dramatic successes and failures in life.

Professions suitable for this placement are doctor, midwife, detective, researcher, sex therapist, mafia boss, banker, tax collector, property developer and financial investor. Generally, any career that requires one to deal with other people's money and resources is good. Pluto has a gift for taking care of other people's belongings. They are also gifted with healing abilities. 

The Plutonian parent at home

Pluto in 10th often indicates that one of the parents (the father for men, mother for women), is very strong-willed and dominant over the child. The parent will rule over the native's life and dictate the child's direction in career. Some Plutonian parents live their life through the child, treating the kid as an extension of their identities. The child needs to get his ego totally destroyed by this parent in order to find his own way in the world. He needs to get reborn and transformed in his relationship with the parent. Only then, success in life will follow.
