The Pluto in Virgo Generation
Mark Jones
In order to understand the Pluto in Virgo generation we need to understand both the nature of Pluto and the nature of Virgo. The view of Pluto I use here has been explained at length in my book Healing the Soul: Pluto, Uranus and the Lunar Nodes,¹ yet can be referred to in brief as the deep structure of the Self – the core unconscious security patterns that predominate within the Self. The Self is a notoriously complex thing to define. Ken Wilber, in his Integral Psychology, uses the phrase ‘the archeology of the Self’ to denote the complex layers of potential meaning. The deep Self that is referred to through the archetype of Pluto can be likened to the soul, as it is both beyond our conscious ego sense yet it retains an individuality that may be surrendered as we approach the realm of spirit. In Wilber’s words:
Not yet infinite and all-embracing, no longer merely personal and mortal, the soul is the great intermediate conveyor between the pure Spirit and the individual self.²
This individuality (soul) contains psychological complexes and attachments from prior lives, from Bardo (states between lives) and early uterine (womb) states to all the underlying material from the formation of our individuality in childhood in this lifetime. Soul is therefore a significator of depth, individual depth at a level beyond the Moon (the ego) and yet an intermediary to Neptune (spirit, the collective consciousness).
To understand the Virgo archetype at this level of depth (enhanced by Pluto), we can explore multiple approaches – one being the view of the archetypes as an expression of the development of the Self, both in psychological principle and as a temporal event in the progression of the human life from infancy to old age.
Aries to Leo: the Formation of the Individual Self
The self starts out relatively undifferentiated from its environment. That is, it cannot easily tell where its body stops and the physical environment begins… Somewhere
