Square aspect
A square aspect in a synastry is one of the most substantial astrological aspects and will impact the relationship. This aspect happens when two planets are 90 degrees apart. When this aspect involves Pluto and the Moon, it will affect the relationship at all levels.
Square aspects are typically seen as less favorable because they lead to conflicts and actions that are not always constructive. But such an aspect has its benefits alongside its downsides. You want to be aware of both sides to make the most of it!
Moon and Pluto energies
Pluto and the Moon are somewhat related in terms of the energies they bring to a chart or a synastry. They both represent the profound aspects of our life. They represent how our deepest emotions and desires appear on the surface, especially in our relationships.
But the significant difference between these two planets is in their purpose. The Moon focuses on our sense of comfort, feelings, and emotions that are not clearly shown to others. On the other hand, Pluto focuses on powerful feelings of destructive energy. It helps renew our life through complex transformations.
The Moon aspects
The Moon is the feminine energy in the astrological chart or synastry. It has the emotional nature and sense of protection of a mother. This celestial body craves an emotional experience. The moon rules the inner instincts that protect us from toxic relationships and emotional drama.
The Moon also determines how we react in difficult and deeply emotional situations. Sometimes, how we manifest our feelings into the world.
It is essential to learn the Moon’s position in our natal chart and the synastries we share with crucial people in our life. A well-aspected Moon can help us have a healthy emotional life. It can help us stay away from relationships that are not good for our souls.
At the same time, when the Moon is in a poor aspect with other planets in the chart, we might struggle to cope with our emotions.
Pluto aspects
Pluto is, above all else, a transformational planet. But Pluto calls for transformations from our deepest emotions and desires, where the Moon has a powerful impact.
Pluto tends to influence our life course as well as the course of our relationships by striving to find solutions to our inner conflicts. Also known as the God of the Underworld, Pluto sees our struggles and emotional crises and does whatever it takes to renew them.
For something to begin, another thing has to end, which is why this planet is often perceived as destructive. But its destruction always comes with a higher purpose meant to lead us to a better version of ourselves. Ultimately, this leads to a better life.
A well-aspected Pluto will lead to growth that comes from going through difficult situations. A Pluto that is not so positively aspected could get us stuck in dramatic scenarios without finding the strength to continue our journey constructively.
Moon square Pluto synastry
Moon square Pluto brings a lot of power in a synastry which has the potential to be destructive. There will be challenges in a relationship with such an aspect, but there will also be ways to overcome those challenges.
The desire to change is present in both partners, but this change can mean something other than growth. The bond between the Moon person and the Pluto person could evolve positively, although not without struggles. Or, it can collapse under the weight of such intensity.
Emotional connection
Both Pluto and the Moon are planets that deal with emotional energy. So, having a strong emotional connection in a couple with Pluto square Moon aspect will be vital. They will be attracted to each others’ energy and determined to explore it at the deepest level to gain emotional satisfaction.
But despite the powerful emotional connection, these two people will not be in constant harmony. There will be many emotional ups and downs. There is a high risk of power struggles and dramatic conversations that trigger a negative emotional response. How they learn to overcome these emotional challenges depends on the other aspects of the natal aspects and the shared synastry.
The Moon person will look up to the Pluto person for comfort and emotional understanding. But the energy of the Pluto person might be too brutal to accommodate their partner. This resorts to self-destructive behaviors even when they can understand them.
On the other hand, Pluto calls for an emotional confrontation that attacks the deep emotions of the Moon person. Childhood traumas are also brought to the surface in this couple. How the partners deal with them will determine the emotional course of their bond.
Physical connection
Pluto brings a vigorous sexual intensity to the couple and a deep desire to explore all the fantasies. The Moon person will be very attracted to the charm and sex appeal of the Pluto person. This bond can be very magnetic from the moment they meet.
The intimate relationships between a Pluto and the Moon person will help them keep their bond going even through the most challenging times.
These people will not waste time with platonic encounters. Their love life together will be filled with intense emotional conversations and sexual adventures.
They will want to devour each other at both a physical level and an emotional level. And while this sounds like a positive and exciting relationship, too many sparks can create a fire. So, they are walking on a fine line if they don’t know how to control their instincts and sexual desires. Such raw fantasies can quickly get out of hand.
Mental connection
The mental connection between the Pluto person and the Moon partner is not the main focus of the relationship. Both Pluto and the Moon are deeply emotional planets, and Pluto even has an esoteric side. So, they will not solely function as a couple through the rational perspective. However, they will still need to be on the same page regarding the central values of life to share their bond harmoniously.
The Pluto person could be driven by the desire to control and manipulate the Moon person. They want to lead the relationship and fulfill their agenda. Also, the Moon person wants to set boundaries that make them feel safe within the relationship.
Both partners must communicate their expectations and needs. This is so they reach a mutual understanding that will help them move on as a couple. They will have to accept the other person the way they are and learn to support each other. While the Moon person might find it easier to accept their Pluto partner entirely, as long as they don’t get hurt in the process, the Pluto person will struggle with acceptance.
Pluto calls for change, and they will want to change and mold their partner into what they need them to be.
Benefits
Even if the Moon square Pluto is challenging and can be a negative aspect in a synastry, a few benefits should be considered.
Intense sexual attraction
The sexual attraction and the energy these two people share are a force. When used correctly, this force could be at the foundation of their bond and keep them together for a long time.
The sexual experiences of two people with Moon-Pluto aspects are satisfying and very exciting and often result in intense relationships. They leave no fantasy untouched and like to be with each other in all ways possible.
Potential for growth
The Pluto person will ask the Moon person to grow and overcome their limitations. If this request is made correctly and diplomatically and the Moon person is receptive, chances are that the growth will happen attractively.
The Moon person in particular but ultimately, both partners have the opportunity to evolve and become better and stronger versions of themselves through this relationship.
Healing opportunities
When these two planets are well-aspected in a synastry, they create the best circumstances for healing. Even the more severe traumas and inner pressure can find their healing in this couple. The Pluto person will want to dig deep into the emotional needs of the Moon person and destroy everything that is not beneficial.
Also, the Moon person will influence their partner to look deeper inside their own emotions and understand the roots of many conflicts to find a way to heal and move on. Both partners need to be open to each other and allow this healing process to happen so they can lead happy and healthy lives inside and outside their relationship.
Challenges
As expected, there are many challenges with a Moon square Pluto synastry, and they need to be addressed with emotional maturity and diplomacy.
Jealousy and possessiveness
The Moon person might develop a strong sense of jealousy that the Pluto partner will not appreciate. This jealousy is rooted in a definition of codependence that the Moon partner feels and hangs on to. Even if it creates the premises of a toxic relationship that will not withstand the test of time.
The jealousy could go hand in hand with being possessive of their partner. This is something other than what the Pluto individual appreciates. All these powerful emotions could transform the bond between the Moon person and the Pluto person into an obsessive one. This will become very destructive as time goes by.
This could be avoided if the Moon person learns to control their negative impulses and voice their concern diplomatically before they get out of proportion. Also, the Pluto person should be aware of their partner’s tendencies towards negative emotions. They should try their best to avoid them or at least not feed them.
Heated arguments
When two people with the Moon square Pluto aspect in their synastry argue, things are never easy. Both the Moon and Pluto are very stubborn and they like to be in control of the argument. So, the disagreement could reach an emotional intensity that can turn physical, lasting for hours before a resolution is reached.
There will be many arguments that don’t end with a compromise but instead, end because both partners are tired of repeatedly arguing over the same topic.
One of the best ways for this couple to resolve things amicably is to take some distance from each other when the arguments get heated. Take a walk, take a shower or take a nap. Anything is better than diving into the great power of a fight full-force.
Controlling behaviors
Both Pluto and the Moon like to control situations and don’t refrain from manipulating or controlling people. But when they try to control each other, both of them will see right through it because they are familiar with the manipulative behavior and easily identify it.
An honest approach towards each other and their relationship is best for this couple. Hidden agendas, fear of loss and hidden intentions will only damage the relationship before it is consumed.
Risk of abusive behaviors
The risk of abuse in a Moon square Pluto synastry aspect is higher than in other relationships. The intense emotions, arguments, and sexuality can get abusive fast and without even realizing it.
That doesn’t mean that the two partners are abusers, but it means that the bond they have could be harsh and create a sensation of destructive emotional energy shapes. The toxicity of this relationship can be both physical and emotional.
Pluto is the one that increases the risk of abuse in this bond through its destructive nature. So, it becomes mandatory for the Moon person to have boundaries that keep them safe and protect their emotions. Emotional security is important in all areas of life for this couple.
This becomes even more important as the Moon person will be empathetic and much easier to hurt than the Pluto partner.
Final thoughts
Even though Moon square Pluto is more like a red flag, it doesn’t always result in a bad relationship. There are still ways to make it work. If both partners are mature enough and communicate honestly, close relationships can be achieved. Risks and challenges could be avoided or at least kept under control.
If the Moon and Pluto are well-aspected, this connection could last a lifetime and help both partners grow and reach their potential.
