Hi augentier ~I have Pluto in my 12th natally also
so anyone even remotely near our age groups is going to have Pluto in our 12th houses….. From my personal experience, we have a double-edged sword here
I spent over 4 years with a fella who had Pluto, Sun and Moon in my 12th house. My comments about that relationship could probably fill a book, but to keep it to 1000 words or less, it was a huge learning experience.
Tremendous growth, upheaval, change and hard lessons about delusion and escapism – YES. But mutual spiritual growth?? Possibly – depending on the individuals involved…..
Pluto wants, even “lives,” to impersonally destroy anything that’s stagnant, unhealthy, or not working for us in our lives. That destruction WILL bring pain – those stagnant, unhealthy and not-working things are familiar (“better the devil you know than the devil you don't”). But the obliteration of the “old way” also levels the terrain so Saturn can rebuild it much better, and in a more positive direction for the Life Path you’ve assigned yourself. I think of it like a big old-growth forest – the spreading branches of the tall trees, some of which may be diseased, prevent much light from reaching the forest floor, where the seedlings have sprouted and need nourishment. Pluto is the fire or the terrible windstorm that takes the giants down, so the seedlings can develop.
Here’s the interp from an old astrology/synastry report:
X's Pluto in Zala's 12th house:
There is a deep emotional and psychic tie between you that may not be apparent in the early stages of your relationship, but over time you begin to work together very closely on matters of very deep, personal concern. Together you uncover a lot of previously hidden problems and limitations stemming from early childhood. You probe any fears, phobias, or guilt that limits your ability to live a happy, fulfilling life.
The following are natal Pluto descriptions, but I’d say they might help you to synthesize the planet’s general interps with the areas of life experience provided by the house (Libra/Scorpio for you)…..
Pluto in 12th House: A twelfth house Pluto is powerfully placed psychologically, and means that although the individual can benefit from marvellous self-analysis, it can be very difficult for them to open up to others.

With Pluto in the 12th House consciousness is opening up to a power which can 'will into being'. Pluto in H12 has access to the Creator’s power and the purposes to which he will use it will reflect his level of development: he can manifest what he lusts after or he can will into being what he knows to be of benefit to mankind. For whatever he brings into being he will be held directly responsible.
A person with this placement of Pluto frequently knows much cruelty and abuse in childhood, be it of a physical, emotional or mental kind, and the perpetrators are usually the parents or guardians who have power over the child by virtue of their custodial role. From them the child has little opportunity to escape at the physical level and in order to get away he forces open a shutter in the mind which gives him access to enormous psychic power.
It is the law of the 12th House that for what is denied at the physical level is compensated at the immaterial.
The power of a person with Pluto in H12 is most readily evidenced by their often unconscious use of what has become known in New Age circles as Creative Visualisation: if he can hold an image or picture an outcome and give it his emotional energy he can bring it into being.
When used consciously, Pluto in H12 gives a person great charisma and the ability to make others into the agents of the outworking of his will. The responsibilities of this are enormous and the karma incurred through the use of the power conferred by Pluto in H12 is unlikely to be burned off in the course of a single lifetime. A person with this placement, if he is to work consciously with his powers, needs to be able to recognise and resist the voice of his desire nature.
