Moon / Pluto MIDPOINT
This is the point where you express extremes of emotion and feeling.
Look to the sign placement for more information on how you experience emotional outbursts and impulsive actions.
In a Fire Sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Emotional outbursts are quick, passionate, and dramatic. The need is for freedom and creative expression of deep feelings.
In an Earth Sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Intensity is channeled into tangible, practical matters. Obsessions can be related to security, work, or control over the material world. Emotions are deep but may be suppressed.
In an Air Sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): The intensity is intellectualized. There is a compulsive need to analyze, communicate, and understand feelings. Obsessive thoughts are common.
In a Water Sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Emotions are overwhelming, psychic, and deeply absorbing. There is a risk of being flooded by one's own or others' feelings.
