The fact that Pluto is associated with subliminal, unmanifest, and deeply unconscious material does not imply that its effects are subtle or insignificant. Quite the contrary, Pluto is so intensely woven into the innermost recesses of our being that it profoundly effects how we see and interact with the world.
So deeply grounded is Pluto that for the vast majority of us, we are unaware of how it is operating--we just assume that these deep impulses and desires are everybody's desires and impulses. Only through time and experience do we get the slightest indication that not everyone shares the same desires or motivations.
How Pluto is configured in the birthchart creates a world orientation. Whereas Jupiter is most often associated with a world philosophy--an articulated, accessible belief system--Pluto is what really motivates us, whether we know it or not.
Pluto drives and intensifies what it contacts in the birthchart. If Pluto makes a significant contact to the Moon, Sun, or Venus, for example, it is as if millions of flagella were attached to that planet, driving it to some unknown goal like sperm to an unfertilized egg.
So, if Pluto was in tight conjunction wtih Venus when you were born, most likely your deepest motivations will be to feel your power through sex, love, and relationship.You believe--at least in your early life--that this is not only your deepest underlying motivation, but everyone's.
