SUN SEXTILE PLUTO
 
This is an easy aspect showing cooperation between two planets which leads to opportunity. It has a positive blending effect on the planets.  Sextiles are considered a "soft" or "easy" aspects that reflect the planets involved. They have a way of delivering you an opportunity. It's as if the phone is ringing or there is a knock at the door. Again, it is your choice to answer the opportunity. Opportunities can reveal themselves under the strangest of circumstances.
It is important to understand that the Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride, while Pluto rules transformation through destruction, only to end up in reconstruction.  Pluto is powerful and behaves like plutonium, where it completely destroys only to rebuild anew.  Pluto levels one thing to cause something else to rise up out of the ashes, just like the phoenix-rising arises from the ashes.  Pluto destructs in order to reconstruct and there is where the transformation takes place.
By now, those who study, follow or even slightly pay attention to the planets, know that Pluto packs quite a punch.  Remember, think 'power' when you see 'Pluto'.
I see this aspect as 'willpower' and plenty of it.  The Sun naturally rules Leo who carries the motto, "I will therefore I am."  Pluto is the higher octave of Mars, which the level of power involved and degree of aggression.  This is no ordinary level of willpower, this is one of greatest aspects of human strength.  What would take this willpower to even a higher level would be if the aspect were the Sun trine Pluto.  Still, this sextile is loaded and powerful.
You can also think of the movie 'Back to the Future' and Doc Brown who stole Plutonium to power the time machine.  In order for Marty to get back to the future, and since they had no Plutonium, they needed to find something that was equaled the power of Plutonium, and that was a bolt of Lightning.  A bolt of Lightning really is 1.21 gigawatts of power in one complete burst.  It is power that comes fast and furious, and is over as quickly as it arrived, and really does carry that much power.
And guess which sign rules 'the future'.  AQUARIUS!  Currently, and until 2044 Pluto is in Aquarius!  Pisces rules the past, and Aquarius rules the future.  Cancer rules the past 'as in' childhood, the biological and psychological foundation, nostalgia and antiques.  Pisces rules the past as in regret, what you did, what you failed to do, skeletons in the closet, and what you don't want others to see or know about you.
 
So whenever you see the Sun sextile Pluto, think about this power that comes to you fast and furious, in a quick burst, which also leaves as fast as it arrived.  Plan it out and do something constructive and productive with this aspect.
Did you now that Pluto is smaller than Earth's Moon? Did you know that Pluto is only half the width of the United States? Did you know one (1) day of Pluto is equal to 6-1/2 days on Earth?  Even so it has been downgraded to a 'dwarf planet' because it lacks 1 out of the 3 criteria to be considered a planet.
We still consider Pluto a planet in the astrological world. Pluto is a super-slow moving planet. He is so slow that it takes him 248 years to orbit the Sun, meaning it takes him 248 years to travel through all twelve (12) Sun Signs spending anywhere from 10 to 30 years in a sign. He spent 13 years in Sagittarius, 16 years in Capricorn and now he will spend 20 years in Aquarius, the future, AI.
Pluto is no doubt slow, and definitely small, but boy oh' boy, does he pack a punch.
We can expect the masses to 'gather for a cause' with mighty, loud and explosive energy with Pluto in Aquarius (crowds, groups).  Even though the crowds are restless, the Sun sextile Pluto can think for oneself without being prompted, told, lectured, guided or led.  At the same time, like-minded individuals rally for a Good and useful cause.
You can use the Sun sextile Pluto to get projects off the ground, work done around the house and missions accomplished. This aspect is a self-starter and does not need to be prompted to get up off its ass and in gear to get the day going.
