“What does a Pluto conjunction do to the Moon? What psychological effect might it have on a Taurus, Pisces, or Aries Moon? Or any Moon at all?”

The Pluto conjunction of the Moon should never be overlooked in a birth chart. The effects are profound and transformative. It is a signature of inner strength in any sign, and it is good or bad.
Deep insight is given. What one does with one’s understanding is another thing altogether. We are talking about raw power here which is easily corrupted or corrupted in any way. Paranoid feelings, obsessions, insatiable needs for power and/or security, etc. A mother who devours her children. However, the upside is just as extreme!
The implication is that a Moon Pluto mother knows exactly what her children need to be empowered. She nourishes her children from the roots and fills them with strong energy. She protects her loved ones and shares her healing energy with them day and night. You find yourself on the edge of Hell, with Mother Moon Pluto with you.
Moon Pluto usually indicates a strong, influential family, but again, there are different types of power here. This person may be from a shady family or some type. “Stigmatized homes” comes to mind. Some with Moon Pluto conjuncts have no place to refer to a mother. There is a void there due to death, abandonment, addiction, or what have you. Obviously, it takes a toll on the person. What they do with their “inheritance” is personal. Some heal, others never heal.
That being said, it’s common for Plutonians to become adept at alchemizing emotional pain. It is a higher, healing expression of energy.
As for the different characters, this is a union. Moon Pluto in Taurus can have an insatiable need for wealth. Moon Pluto in Pisces can be very selfless. Moon in Aries Pluto is driven by the subconscious and may have a need to fight back, conquer, or simply be first. Through signs, etc.
Is your Moon conjunct Pluto? How is that for you?
