Pluto. Scorpio. The planet/sign of *depth. Psychology. Sex. Death. Power. The taboo…*

I’ve been working on some writing about my 9 years living on Pluto astrocartography lines. It’s been on my mind a while and finally got called out. There’s been some excitement to share - contributing back to the growing astrocartography ‘community’ some insightful perspectives on the most notorious planetary line of them all. *And also some reservations/hesitations.*

Sometimes there are no hard set rules in life. When it comes to *sharing,* there may be unspoken guidelines, expectations, boundaries, etc - cultural norms & conventions regarding what is “appropriate” - yet who’s to say exactly what is & isn’t, *objectively.*

I’ve been on the fence about how much depth & detail to go into. On one hand, “authentic transparency” - sometimes there is a time & place to genuinely express one’s experiences, and detail helps paint a clear picture. On the other, there’s apparently this thing some call *”oversharing.”* 

*Part* of me wants to give “my all” in my writing; and when it comes to this piece on Pluto, feels putting my ego on the alter for sacrifice by being *fully* open about a few of my experiences in Phuket would be conducive to effectively conveying the Plutonic impact & intensity in a way theoretical description alone cannot. Plus, *they’re some pretty damn good stories* - albeit **not** for kids, and *well* in the realm of “taboo.” Yet, I’m also unsure of whether sharing them publicly would just be *stupid. Lol.* Or if not “stupid,” at the least, *definitely* entrenching upon if not dramatically overshooting the fine line between authentic transparency and “oversharing.”

I’d listened to some podcast recently that seemed a confirmation of being on-track with the transparency; in it, some mention of the exposure of our human vulnerabilities and such as both a strength and service, offering authentic reflections others can relate to (with the topic of addictions, possibly being the tangible focal point in that transmission) - how humbling ourselves to embrace & admit our blunders is part of the process not only of our growth, but contributing back the lessons & wisdom which may be of help to others…

Given the limited amount of comprehensive outlooks on Pluto lines to be found, an abundance of oversimplified short-form stuff instead, and alot of *fear* regarding them, I’ve felt that putting my writing skills to use on the subject would be worthwhile to ‘give back’ - going into more depth of detail into my experiences to articulate *why* my continual emphasis on the point that *it’s not all bad, has its yin & yang, and comes with gifts too*. Though, one could not expect to properly write on *the planet of depth* without going *deep.* The result: (not the first time an idea has extracted out to) over 10,000 words and counting. *But,* I can’t figure out whether or not to self-censor and edit out some of the *raw* stuff that’d *really* hit home the way *only Pluto can.*

Having just moved back to Revelstoke and on day 2 snowboarding, I was going up the chairlift with a dude when the topic of *the **main** story* got touched on and figured I’d test the waters sharing it… his response, along with a laugh: *”take that story to the grave. Don’t tell your family.”* (Perhaps it’s a sign I’m *finally* working through the trauma of the incident, having added a total stranger to the number of people countable on one hand I’ve actually told it to, *including my mom. Ha.*)

Dude *might* be right. Perhaps there are certain things in the Plutonic/Scorpionic realms that best *remain in secrecy.* Or at the least, within a tight circle of carefully-selected friends, family, etc.

But then again… *”radical honesty. Authentic transparency.* And if a *damn good story, really,* that does an *excellent* job of demonstrating just how full-on experiences on a Pluto line can be *in context*…?

I suppose, *”there are no rules in creativity.”* I’ll be publishing the post here (and sharing via the Facebook astrocartography group) - technically, “it’s my blog, I choose.” I could slap on a disclaimer upfront, letting readers know it’s gonna get *explicit* - and they’re all free to tune out if looking for something else. But I still “don’t know” - *and maybe never can, since there is no concrete answer as it’s totally subjective* - whether it’s the type of authentic transparency that’d actually be worthwhile, or *foolishness.*

Interestingly enough, this whole questioning of boundaries *itself* is rather Plutonic/Scorpionic - Pluto/Scorpio/8th *ruling 7 dealing with boundaries, their overstepping, intimacy, shared resources (which knowledge could be considered in some regards).*

Perhaps it’s also my Chiron-Gemini in 10th house as well at play here - the self-consciousness & overthinking, anxious about implications of failing to acknowledge “appropriate” boundaries and being (perceived as) a weirdo for having publicly overshared. *While also acknowledging it **might** be part of my role to embrace the Chiron wounds & oddness, communicating the lessons & alchemy of them actually part of how I serve others.* Like, I really don’t particularly *want to* bear some of my deepest, darkest secrets to a worldwide audience; there’s really not a whole lot of *perks* to be gained personally through such disclosure of my Plutonic past. But it’s probably *not* part of *any* of our life paths to remain walled-up in comfort zones holding back what there’s an itch to (uncomfortably, humbly, vulnerably) express. 

Pluto also ruling *power,* maybe *this* also comes into the picture here: *how am I utilizing my own in this situation?* Certainly, there may be *strength* in vulnerability; and whether for better or worse, a great deal of power put to work in the crafting & release of words which are bound to evoke a spectrum of reactions in readers. Though, there’s surely a world of difference in the diligent, conscientious use of that power and it’s *abuse* through failure to acknowledge & adhere to boundaries *necessary* for its constructive channeling.

As much as we may have the creative capacity to self-determine those boundaries at times (such as when posting content on our own blogs), we could still be wise & controlled with them - architecting structures through which consciousness may be shifted/activated and energy constructively transmuted - **or** sloppy & haphazardly, wasting energy in ways that detract from the fulfillment of a clear, positively-influential purpose.

*Yes,* my story might be a good one and drive home points about the intensity of Pluto lines… *but is the choice to include it a wise use of power that truly serves well?* Or might this ponderance/hesitation be a form of guidance and invitation for upgrading writing & editing skills along with a refinement of sensitivity towards the appropriateness of certain boundaries - an opportunity to embody the Plutonian secrecy appropriately while communicating the essence of what is needed differently?

Who the fuck knows. Maybe I could throw caution to the wind and go the radical transparency route. Maybe that’d create unnecessary energy leaks and it’d end up wise to have exercised self-restraint, maybe not and there’ll be a subsection of readers whom the authenticy resonates deeply with. Maybe I err on the side of caution and am left unsatisfied, having held back out of fear and not giving it my all; or maybe that fear turned out to be the type that serves well to keep within beneficial boundaries.

Time shall tell *just how deep* the published version goes. (And whether there were consequences of “oversharing” *or not.)*

Feel free to pitch in any objective feedback if your guides want to speak (type) through you to get through the message *not to embarass myself… or to lay it all on the line cuz someone needs to read it.* 😹
