Plutos energy is extremely potent and powerful.

It also represents the hidden dimension of our emotional lives, all the parts of ourselves that wed rather bury in our subconscious and not reveal to others. With numerous case studies to bring her insights to life, Cunninghams interpretations, written with care and compassion, are straightforward and easy to grasp. She presents her material with warmth and empathy, without avoiding the tough lessons that Pluto has to offer.Cunningham addresses such topics as Guilt, resentment, and fear Emotional secrets and their contribution to self-isolation Incest, abuse, and domestic violence Pluto and the need for power and control The psychology of being a victim Death and transformation The consequences of avoiding griefInterested not only in diagnosing Pluto problems, Cunningham also gives us tools for healing those problems-affirmations, flower remedies, exercises for working with the chakras-and shows us how to use Pluto transits for growth.This Weiser Classics edition includes a foreword by Lisa Stardust, author of Saturn Return Survival Guide.In astrology, Pluto represents destruction and creation. Pluto is a dwarf planet that is always pushing us to evolve and grow so that we align with the times and themes of our lives. This ultimate, evolutionary experience brings us to our truest selves. As lord of the underworld, Pluto represents the juxtaposition between life and death-that which defines transformation.Donna Cunninghams Healing Pluto Problems was the first book I read on Pluto. It helped me comprehend the depths and significance of Pluto and how to use the planet to my advantage. Also, it gave me a chance to see myself clearly and understand my feelings. Not only that, but I gained insight into my relationships. I can honestly say that I have become a more mature and self-aware person from reading this book. Now I know why I act out when pushed to the limit and how to temper myself when I begin to seek such actions.-from the foreword
