Pluto in the 4th House
  *************************************************************** 
  The emphasis in this house is an ability to develop a sense of emotional 
  security rather than obtaining such security externally. External influences 
  include parents, a marriage partner, or job. Much of how this is expressed 
  depends on planetary aspects to Pluto. Under stress, persons with this 
  placement may be obsessed with external security. Well-aspected, they may 
  have a greater understanding of the many ways by which a person can feel 
  secure. As the soul chooses its physical body, personality, and environment for 
  its individual expression and lessons, some will select a parent who 
  emotionally dominates his or her life. This will create a situation where this 
  person will always have his or her emotional needs met by someone else. 
  Should you find this to be the case with you, you might find it useful to obtain a 
  comparison chart between yourself and your parents to establish the karmic 
  nature of this situation.  
   

  Pluto's energies can exhibit a destruction-of-the-old and the rebuilding-of-the-new 
  characteristic. You may experience significant domestic changes in life, or in 
  extreme cases, the collapse of your family unit. However, you have the ability to 
  emerge from these problems much wiser for the experience. Pluto affords strong 
  powers of regeneration, giving you the ability to rise like a phoenix from the 
  ashes after any disaster. Your instinct for growth is deep-seated, and in times of 
  crises you can rely on internal forces which are generally unrealized.  
   
  You may portray such emotional characteristics as intensity, defensiveness, 
  and insecurity; you may also be demanding, manipulative, and easily 
  threatened. In extreme cases there is a potential for cruelty, meanness, or 
  vindictiveness if the person deeply wounded. It would be of significant benefit to 
  you and others if you could transform your internal battle and emotional struggle 
  towards a more responsible expression. Self examination, introspection, and 
  meditation can help you become a person of great wisdom who can give strength 
  to others, inspire them, and show them the direction they should take. Pluto in 
  the fourth house can also indicate a deep insight into other people's emotional 
  needs and an ability to penetrate into the unconscious mind. Thus, you could be 
  in a position to nurture others in an empathetic and positive way.  
   
  With a well-aspected Pluto, you may have experienced one or both parents as 
  having great courage, inner strength, and creative powers which helped you to 
  feel secure in yourself and express this security positively from an early age.
