Pluto-Ascendant aspects either show or hide the hidden depths in your soul. With these aspects, you may seem ultra-intense or stagnant.
However, Pluto aspects to the Ascendant also indicate that your outer mask (the Ascendant) will be transformed during this lifetime. You will change how you show yourself; this transformation can be painful but is always for your highest good.
Ultimately, Pluto-Ascendant aspects can be really intense and powerful.
Pluto Conjunct Ascendant
The Pluto conjunct Ascendant aspect creates a very powerful energy. Your magnetism is conscious if your conjunction is in the 1st house, while its unconscious in the 12th house.
Your outer mask has alluring qualities. People are drawn to you because you seem mysterious and powerful all at once.
Sometimes, Pluto conjunct Ascendant makes you almost mesmerizing. People may feel anxious and compelled around you for no clear reason.
You come off as wrong or irritate people, but the same people want to be around you for reasons they can’t explain.
Pluto conjunct Ascendant can make you want to control your image. You probably need a lot of privacy and might appear as though you’re secretive or clandestine.
However, this is usually because you have so many deep and complex thoughts that you can’t show to the world.
You may get intensely “into” a certain style or look for some time, then completely change it. You go through a lot of turbulent phases, but you’re never quite sure who you are. When you do something, you do it all the way.
Others notice this about you. Generally, you’re seen as very intense and even a bit forceful.
Sometimes, people with Pluto conjunct Ascendant are naturally intuitive, so they’re very good at figuring out lies. You may do well in an area of work where instincts are helpful.
You have control over other people with Pluto conjunct Ascendant. You can probably manipulate how others see you, though they can sense that they’re being controlled.
In fact, you may have some qualities of a Scorpio rising with Pluto conjunct Ascendant.
Sometimes, Pluto conjunct Ascendant can mean that you were born during a turbulent or transformational time. There may have even been a traumatic event surrounding your birth.
Alternatively, Pluto conjunct Ascendant has power over your body in some way. You may have felt powerless as a child, or you have a physical ailment or negative physical feature that kept you controlled.
This aspect can give you the physical features of the parental figure who you had the most issues with. Usually, you have some type of physical feature that you truly dislike.
You probably spend a lot of time trying to “fix” the negative things that you hate about yourself. However, you will never be truly satisfied by eradicating a part of yourself. Instead, the path is to accept both your outer and inner selves and integrate them.
Pluto conjunct Ascendant makes you very extreme. The word moderation isn’t in your vocabulary! You may have various obsessions or OCD.
Ultimately, you try to keep absolute control over your life, but this can make you lonely or cause you to alienate people. Pluto conjunct Ascendant is all about learning moderation.
You might feel like you have to learn how to control others, but this is a fallacy. Pluto conjunct Ascendant will eventually teach you that you will be OK even without control.

With Pluto trine Ascendant, you have a certain charisma that is apparent to others. This attractiveness generally comes from your energy.
There’s something about you that attracts others towards you, even if there’s nothing physically different about your looks. You have a nature allure.
However, you aren’t necessarily intense or mysterious with Pluto trine Ascendant. You simply have an innate charm that manifests in the way of your Ascendant sign.
You’re probably outwardly passionate about the things you care about. You don’t try to hide your intensity, but it doesn’t seem scary or overwhelming to others.

You may have something specifically alluring about your eyes. This will manifest in the physical element of your Ascendant sign.
With Pluto trine Ascendant, you tend to have good instincts about other people. You can even get a sense of what they’re thinking or how their mind works.
Sometimes, you may know things that no one tells you, whether or not you admit this to yourself. You’re very sensitive to the intentions of others and have a natural “sixth sense” around other people.
You’re comfortable with your own sexuality or sex appeal. You might project a bit of a controlling vibe sexually, or alternatively you give off the energy that you want to be controlled. However, this doesn’t dominate your personality.
Pluto trine Ascendant means that you’re always transforming your image in small ways. It’s natural for you to switch up your look every so often. Physical or outward change doesn’t scare you at all.
This aspect means that you move quickly in new relationships. You tend to be sexually attracted to other people quite quickly, but you may struggle to balance your regular life with your new partner.
With Pluto trine Ascendant, you may not realize that you have the power to change your situation at any time. This trine can sometimes make you feel as though you’re always being controlled by others or fate itself. However, you need to find your own personal sense of control from within.
Alternatively, if you tend to need control, then you must learn that everything happens for a reason, even if you don’t like it. Be careful that you don’t unconsciously manipulate people with your charm to get what you want.
Don’t draw people in for personal gain. You can easily create bad karma because this aspect is so easy. You’ll want to avoid scamming people, even unintentionally.
This Pluto trine Ascendant aspect almost always manifests as either a need to control or be controlled. Your tendencies will depend on the signs of the planets and the rest of your chart.
Ultimately, you have the opportunity to change your path as you wish and to present your most authentic self in interactions with other people. Remember that these skills aren’t natural for everyone!

If the Moon person starts to lose interest, the Pluto person will feel afraid and may become manipulative or controlling. They might play games to keep the Moon person interested.
Even though this Pluto trine Moon synastry aspect should be easier because it’s a trine, I find that this aspect actually creates a lot of strife.
The natural part of the relationship is the emotional intensity, but this can easily turn obsessive. The couple needs to work hard on their emotional communication in order to create a sense of emotional intensity that’s both healthy and fulfilling.
Pluto Sextile Moon Synastry
With the Pluto sextile Moon synastry aspect, there is a really intense connection. You may feel as though you were destined to be together.
This aspect doesn’t necessarily indicate a karmic connection, but it will certainly feel that way! The relationship seems fated, but it’s purpose is actually to transform both individuals.
Sextiles create opportunity. The Pluto sextile Moon synastry aspect means that you have the opportunity to learn about emotional power and control in a relationship and to heal your own emotional wounds.
One or both people might manipulate or play games in this relationship. It’s passionate and intense, but can also be controlling or shadowy.
With the Pluto sextile Moon synastry aspect, the couple may express their passions through sex and intimacy, but there is also a jealous or manipulate aspect that bleeds into the relationship.
In this relationship, you can either work through your emotion issues or seize the opportunity to gain power over the other person. Ultimately, it is up to you and your partner.
Pluto Opposition Moon Synastry
With the Pluto opposition Moon synastry aspect, you might experience up and down emotions as a couple.
The Moon person can appear especially erratic; their emotions may fluctuate daily. However, the Pluto individual is more controlling, jealous, or possessive, and they know how to make the Moon person feel especially emotional.
This couple can easily get stuck in the Pluto opposition Moon synastry relationship. Their emotions run wild, but they don’t know how to separate.
The Pluto person may feel that they need to provide for the Moon person in some way. The Moon individual quickly begins depending on the Pluto person, but this can create a lot of pressure.
The Pluto individual may play games with the Moon person to try and control them, yet they simultaneously feel trapped. They are typically afraid that the Moon person will abandon them if they don’t a) provide emotional support and b) keep the Moon person under control.
Typically, this Pluto conjunct Moon synastry aspect is all about how the Pluto person tries to gain power while the Moon person gives away their power and expects their partner to care for them. Both have emotional issues that they should try to work through together.
Pluto Square Moon Synastry
With the Pluto square Moon synastry aspect, your relationship will be fated but it will also involve some power struggles.
You both bring emotional issues with you from childhood or past relationships that influence your partner. Because your feelings are so intense, you can react in ways that hurt the other person.
The Pluto square Moon synastry aspect indicates that you both need to learn to curb your reactions. You tend to act without thinking and lash out as a defense mechanism. Over time, this will damage your relationship, your partner, and yourself.
In the early parts of the relationship, the Pluto person may try to control the Moon person out of jealousy or possessiveness. However, over time the Moon person will probably learn how to emotionally control the Pluto person.
Couples with the Pluto square Moon synastry aspect sometimes need to seek therapy or counseling to resolve their emotion issues and deep fears. Otherwise, it may be helpful to look into books, podcasts, or individual therapy.
Most of your reactions stem from a fear of loss. To truly heal your emotional self and your relationship, you will need to get to the root of your fears.
Ultimately, this Pluto square Moon synastry aspect can be extremely transformative and life changing if both people are willing to do the work.
The square means that these issues will constantly be in your face, so you aren’t able to ignore these issues until they’re truly resolved.

Dreams are some of the most elusive, spiritual things in our everyday lives. It’s easy to pretend that our dreams are nothing when we wake up, yet they certainly feel real when we’re in the dreamscape.
Scientists, philosophers, and fiction authors alike have been obsessed with dreams for centuries. What do they mean? Why do we have them?
While no one really knows what dreams mean, we can have our own beliefs. My personal conclusion is that dreams are either produced by our unconscious mind, are a production created by someone else (such as a spirit guide, higher self, deity, demon, etc.) or are a sign that we’re astrally traveling in our sleep.
Sometimes, I feel that various types of dreams can be a combination of these different origins. Dreams can be vivid, fuzzy, metaphorical, symbolic, literal, scary, peaceful, and many more things.
Today I’ll be discussing the 13 main different types of dreams as well as the various types of nightmares that we face. Many of these types of dreams are categorized according to clinical psychologists, while other types on this list are more metaphysical in nature.
If you want to learn how to interpret your different types of dreams then scroll to the bottom for a list of techniques!
13. Current Or Recent Event Dreams:
The types of dreams that you most often have are current or recent event dreams. In these types of dreams, you simply relive events that have recently occurred in real life.
These types of dreams are very standard. Often, they are your mind’s way of working through the events.
Recent event dreams are created by your subconscious or unconscious mind. Sometimes, these dreams are a bit fuzzy; you might find that the details don’t exactly line up.
Other times, these types of dreams are vaguely symbolic. For example, you may have watched a movie about a war, then you have a dream about a violent environment.
Even if the details don’t line up perfectly, you will know that you had a recent event dream because you’ll feel the same emotions that you experienced in real life when the event actually happened.
These types of dreams may be a message that you need to work through some subconscious issues surrounding this event.
However, most often this dream is simply a result of an event that made an imprint on your mind. It may just mean that your subconscious mind needed to process the events further, so you did this work through dream.
You typically have no idea that you’re actually dreaming when you experience recent event dreams, unless you’re very good at lucid dreaming.
Keep in mind that recent event dreams are very normal and are actually helpful to our physical and emotional health! In our dream world, we are able to process the events that happen in our life without overthinking things in the real world.
12. Symbolic Dreams:
When you have a symbolic dream, you’re experiencing events that aren’t real. Instead, your dream is a metaphor for something in your life.
I find that I often have symbolic dreams when the realistic scenario is too painful to re-live. These types of dreams are a way for me to work through the trauma without actually experiencing it again.
However, symbolic dreams can also reveal things about our subconscious minds. If you find yourself having symbolic dreams about seemingly random events, dig deeper in to the dream and figure out what metaphor the events represent.
For example, you could have a symbolic dream about friendship, family, career, spirituality, fertility, etc. Our dreams are often metaphors that hide within our subconscious. You only need to figure out what the symbolic dream is trying to tell you.
11. Cathartic, Problem Solving Dreams:
Cathartic dreams can take many forms. The one constant with these types of dreams is that they allow you to work out your emotions or solve a problem.
In some way, these are therapy dreams. They give you a safe, constructive space to work out your emotional issue. These are really great types of dreams because the actual construct can change to be what you need in order to figure out your deepest emotions.
Alternatively, these dreams can also help you solve a more logical or rational problem. You can figure out the solution for a work issue, for example, in the context of the dream.
Many people think of their most creative ideas in problem solving dreams. You’ll know that you had a cathartic/problem solving dream if you wake up knowing exactly how to proceed!
10. Prophetic Dreams:
In prophetic dreams, you either see the future before it happens or receive a telepathic message.
These types of dreams are often a warning, especially if you’re seeing the future. You sometimes glimpse future events so that you can alter or stop them.
However, prophetic dreams can also be introducing you to the idea of something that will happen. This is your mind’s way of preparing you for the inevitable.
Although you may not be able to change the future in this scenario, your subconscious will be a bit more ready for anything painful.
Sometimes prophetic dreams can be telepathic dreams. This means that you receive communication from someone else’s thoughts or glimpse events happening in another location.
With these types of dreams, you will usually get insight into events that are currently happening. You’ll know you had a prophetic dream if you can verify these dreams when you wake up.
Most prophetic dreams are messages from your spirit guides or deities, but they can also come from your higher self or unconscious mind.
9. Supernatural Visitation Dreams:
Unlike prophetic dreams, supernatural visitation dreams involve elements that aren’t quite natural on earth.
An example of a supernatural dream would be encountering the dimensions of Hell or another world. Perhaps you get a visit from an otherworldly deity or have a brush with entities, the Fae, dragons, etc.
You’ll know you had a supernatural visitation dream if it was entirely unique. These types of dreams truly can’t be made up in your own head!
It will be clear when you wake up that you encountered the presence of another being or entity.
These types of dreams can mean a variety of things; the being can have positive, negative, or neutral intentions towards you.
Sometimes, these supernatural dreams are a random encounter in the astral plane, while other times these dreams are more meaningful.
For example, many people have a supernatural visitation dream involving their ancestors. If you sense that a deceased relative has visited you and the dream feels like more than a memory, you have most likely been visited by the supernatural.
8. Nightmares:
There are many different types of nightmares. You’ll know you had a nightmare if the main feelings surrounding your dream are negative. You might feel fear, guilt, shame, horror, etc.
Nightmares can be messages from the subconscious mind. They might show what you need to work out in real life, or they may illuminate the things you’re secretly afraid of. You might have more nightmares following an especially stressful event.
Alternatively, nightmares can be messages or warnings from your spirit guides, higher self, ancestors, deity guides, or other supernatural beings.
Lastly, certain types of nightmares can be a real life recreation or metaphor for past trauma. Even when you try to repress memories, they tend to bubble up during sleep, when you’re the most vulnerable.
Nightmares can even have multiple messages at once.
The most common types of nightmares in adults are:
- Dreams about being chased
- Dreams about death
- Dreams about feeling lost
- Dreams about feeling trapped
- Dreams about being attacked
- Dreams about snakes
- Dreams about teeth falling out
- Dreams about drowning
- Dreams about poor performance
- Dreams about natural disaster
Keep in mind that most types of nightmares will be personalized to you in some way. You will need to dig into the emotions and metaphors behind the visceral events of your dream to figure out why you had the nightmare in the first place.
7. Night Terrors:
Unlike nightmares, night terrors are different types of dreams that are more common in young children.
Night terrors are actually a sleep disorder. When you have a night terror or sleep terror, you will physically flail, scream, or even sleepwalk while you’re still asleep.
In the dream realm, night terrors are much more intense types of nightmares because your physical body gets more involved.
However, these types of nightmares can also reflect unresolved trauma, repressed fear, or warning signs from guides.
6. Lucid Dreams:
Some of the coolest, most different types of dreams are lucid dreams. This literally means that you “wake up” while you’re dreaming.
When you have a lucid dream, you manage to recognize that you’re in a dream and change your setting as much as you’d like.
Many people are able to do fantastical things in lucid dreams such as fly, read people’s thoughts, or influence outside events with their minds.
However, lucid dreams aren’t always good. They can be happy, interesting, intellectually simulating, boring, guilt-ridden, terrifying, and more.
The only constant with lucid dreams is that you know you’re dreaming and can influence the world.
Lucid dreaming can be especially helpful when you’re having a recurring dream and need to work out and issue.
Keep in mind that lucid dreaming is not the same as astral travel. I personally feel that lucid dreaming happens in a landscape that is all our own, while astral travel happens in other realms or dimensions, so we’re not able to influence events in the astral plane as easily.
Almost everyone can experience lucid dreaming. However, these types of dreams take a bit of practice to experience and master.
Try to do a “reality check” the next time you’re in a dream. It can be helpful to do these in real life as well so you get into the habit. That way, your subconscious mind is more likely to remember your routine reality check, even when you’re in a dream.
A reality check is when you do a specific action to determine whether or not you’re awake. Some of the easiest reality checks are:
- Check in the mirror to see if your reflection is clear and accurate
- Push your hand into a solid object. Does it morph or move?
- Look at an object, look away, then look back. Did it move or shift?
- Check the time on the clock. If it’s constantly changing, then you’re in a dream
- Pinch your nose and see if you’re still able to breath
You can also figure out ways to jump into a lucid dream consciously. Sometimes, even setting the intention that you will lucid dream before bed will work.
Another method is the “Wake Back To Sleep” method. Set an alarm clock for 5 hours after you go to sleep. When the alarm goes off, you should stay up for 30 minutes before going back to sleep.
The theory is that you’re more likely to lucid dream when you fall back asleep the second time. It may not work immediately, so keep trying for a number of nights in a row.
5. Past Life Dreams:
Although many official sources don’t recognize past life dreams as legit types of dreams, I experience them quite a lot.
Of course, this only applies if you actually believe in past lives or the idea of reincarnation. Past life dreams are actually memories of other lives.
These types of dreams can be scary, happy, momentus, or insignificant. You’ll know you’re having a past life dream if you feel like yourself but also someone else.
Your circumstances will be totally different. For example, you may dream of living in a small village and fishing. However, this will feel normal to you in the context of the dream. It will be daily life as usual.
You may experience past life dreams because a memory is simply bleeding through. Other times, these types of dreams are an indicator that you need to process trauma or emotional issues from this life.
Although past life dreams are the most common types of dreams in this context, you can also have future life dreams.
I have only had one future life dream. I knew it was set in the future and had a whole different group of friends. I was myself, yet I was also someone else.
For all I know, the dream wasn’t even set on earth! This dream convinced me that time doesn’t work in the spirit world as it does here.
However, past life dreams are much more common.
4. Shared Dreams:
Although shared dreams aren’t common, they are one of the most well-documented types of dreams because they aren’t explained by science.
When you have a shared dream, you will experience the same dreamscape or events that someone else you know experiences. It can be shocking to compare notes and realize that you had the exact same dream at the same time!
There are many different theories about the purpose of shared dreams. I personally believe that shared dreams are actually types of dreams where two people meet in the astral plane and experience the same events.
3. Fantasy Dreams:
When you’re feeling especially low, you may have these types of dreams. Fantasy dreams, also known as comfort dreams, are dreamscapes that give you everything you want.
You’ll know you had a comfort dream if you encounter positive parts of your past or experience your fantasies.
For example, someone may have a dream about their old home and feel comfort from hanging out in their old room. Alternatively, they could dream about meeting their icon and having a constructive conversation, while is more of a fantasy dream.
The purpose of these types of dreams is to sooth the mind. Your subconscious mind knows that you need a bit of comfort or stability, so you experience dreams that give you exactly what you need.
Ultimately, these types of dreams are a method of self-soothing.
2. Recurring Dreams:
Some of the most distressing types of dreams are recurring dreams. These dreams can feel totally random or irrational, but recurring dreams are often a sign that you need to deal with something major.
Keep in mind that recurring dreams can be symbolic, metaphorical, supernatural, or prophetic.
You will know that a dream is especially important when it’s recurring. Make sure that you sit down and analyze the dream to figure out why you’re experiencing the same events over and over.
Lucid dreaming can also be a good way to take over your recurring dreams and change them into something positive.
1. False Awakenings:
These types of dreams can be ultra-freaky. False awakenings are dreams in which you believe that you woke up. However, you’re actually still asleep.
The purpose of false awakening dreams is to make you think you’re in real life so you can fully experience the events of the dream.
Reality checks, detailed in the lucid dreaming section, can be helpful for false awakening dreams. Practice reality checks in daily life if you find that you’re having a lot of false reality dreams and want to be more aware.
How To Interpret Your Dream:
I personally think it can be helpful to figure out what different types of dreams you’re experience before you try to interpret them.
After all, the type of dream will give you clues as to why you’re having this specific vision.
Once you know what types of nightmares or dreams you’re having, the next most important thing about your dream is to analyze how you felt.
Were the emotions positive or negative? Were you afraid, angry, joyous, revengeful, or calm?
Negative feelings usually indicate that a threat is present in your life. This can be a person, a situation, or your own thoughts. However, you can also feel afraid because you’re experiencing something powerful in your dream.
Feeling fear in a dream is quite common. Most of the time, fear is an indication that you need to dig deeper and face your trauma. However, fear can also be a warning sign that you need to be careful of someone or something in real life. I recommend doing some divination to figure out which type of message you’re getting.
Positive feelings usually mean that you’re turning over a new leaf or are about to achieve a goal.
You will need to put the dream into the context of your own life. Anything that feels familiar or reminds you of a past experience will be important.
I always recommend that you journal right after you wake up. If you’re still experiencing distress or confusion about a recent dream, sit down and write about it.
Do this in a stream-of-consciousness way. If something comes into your head, write it down. Feel free to draw, make maps or diagrams, write lists, or detail anything else that feels important.
Next, do some divination work to figure out exactly what your dream means. Even if you think you know, divination can be extra confirmation.
Some of my favorite methods of divination for dream interpretation are:
- Bibliomancy
- Tarot card readings
- Using the pendulum (with charts or yes/no questions)
- Scrying (including crystal ball reading)
You can also do a meditation where you try to reenter your dream. Even if the meditation doesn’t exactly recreate your vision, this can still be really effective to delve into the feelings and message behind your dream.
Ultimately, you’ll know if you dream interpretation is correct because it will feel right in your gut. When you know, you know.
If you aren’t sure, this usually means that you haven’t totally figured out your dream yet. Keep pushing and you will certainly get there!
