Hello there
It may be helpful to post your chart, if you wanted to, that way we can see what aspects Pandora make to the rest of your natal planets. This can help add more depth to any interpretation and possibly find ways of working with the energies.
Having said that, I dont know much about Pandora (asteroid 55) until I saw this thread. There is a link
here which tells a bit of the myth about Pandora, and how it applies in the natal chart.
From what I've understood, Pandora is a bit like Saturn in its energies, in that it wants us to learn the lessons associated with it. Pandora was the one that unleashed all the difficult things onto the people of the Earth, hence the asteroid and its placement is where we will have to face the starkest truths about ourselves and others.
Both Saturn and Pandora have the difficult task of forcing us to get real - more honest, more truthful, more genuine - more of our true self. But before we can be that, before Pandora´s lessons are learned, we have to open that box and let the devil loose, no matter how terrifying it is.

Its where we have to face parts of ourselves we may deny to ourselves, things that we pretended were ok when they really weren't. So its Saturn like in facing our karma, the reactions to past actions, while also like Pluto in bringing to the surface previously buried things, feelings, emotions and facts.
Technically, I've always heard and known that if a planet is a few degrees from a cusp, you take it to be in the house going forwards, so its on your 1st/2nd cusp, technically in your 2nd house. This is the house of values, self worth, the things you value, your money, self esteem... This is where you may have to face your Pandora-like lessons, things that you hide from yourself, hide from others, ect, at certain points in your life.
I have Pandora opposite my natal Jupiter, chart ruler. Perhaps my expression has an element of Pandora in it. Pandora reflects the things in others that they may well want to avoid facing.
Thanks for raising this interesting subject.
Pandora wants us ultimately wants us to be real, and genuine with ourselves, to be more whole.
