I'm from the Pluto in Libra generation, but also have Pluto in Libra in my 1st house. It's been pretty intense all my life, although it is too far away from my Ascendant in Virgo to make a conjunction.
When my mother was having me, she became very ill and nearly died from pre-eclampsia. She was induced and I was born 2 days early. My mother's natal Sun is in Scorpio and her Pluto is in Leo. Without a birth time, I haven't been able to accurately calculate her chart, but her Moon is in Aquarius and I suspect her Ascendant is Capricorn from her life pattern. She is a caring mother who means well, but her early experiences were terrible. However, as she has become older, she has softened and recaptured her fun side. I love her!
As a child and during my teens and early 20's, my life was hard, confusing and dominated by overbearing, powerful, intense, bitter and angry adult relatives.
It always felt like there was a power struggle. But however hard life was, I never gave up, and I always believed there must be a reason. When I was about 12, I realised that I had a natural ability to heal, and that I had a psychic gift.
When I was 29, I remarried and I let go of the old patterns from my youth and went through a transformation process that lasted about 18 months - 2 years. I enrolled in a correspondence astrology course with a college in the UK and reviewed my belief system and made changes. Some of these changes were scary, because I'm suspicious of change unless it's really necessary, but I felt it was Plutonian energy being the teacher, and that in time, I'd be able to understand.
Even now, Pluto in my life is definitely not subtle, and I've grown to accept it, with the help of the opposition in my chart. It's not scary anymore.
