The Sun-Pluto square gives powerful tension between personal will and deep forces of control, fear, power, and transformation. The person rarely lives self-assertion easily. Inside there may be a feeling that they must be strong at any cost, otherwise they will be suppressed, used, or destroyed. The Sun wants to manifest; Pluto raises the instinct of survival from the depths. In the square, this creates strong but difficult energy.
This aspect may give enormous will, endurance, the ability to pass through crises, see hidden motives, and concentrate to the limit. But with this comes the risk of hardness. The person may not trust life, react painfully to attempts at control, strive to control others themselves, impose their will, test people for loyalty, enter struggle where agreement was possible. Strength becomes protection from inner vulnerability.
