Sun semi-square (& sesquiquadrate) Pluto
When the Sun forms a semi-square with Pluto or Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto
This subtle aspect in your chart, considered a minor aspect, adds a layer of intensity, determination, compulsion, and artfulness to your personality. It gives you some ambition and a desire to better your circumstances. You can harness these traits for growth and improvement, although they can sometimes cause problems.
With the Sun in a minor square with Pluto in your birth chart, you have a compulsive and guarded side to your nature. This part of you is cautious and meticulous in your actions, often planning for worst-case scenarios. You are aware enough of negative possibilities that you feel the need to prepare for them. You want to get ahead of things, fearing being out of the loop or caught off guard.
Of course, it’s essential to keep this trait moderate enough to work to your advantage. Otherwise, you might complicate your life with schemes and strategies that are not truly needed. With experience and maturity, you learn to use your investigative skills positively for research and analysis.

Alternate interpretations:
Sun semi-square Pluto: You need to know what it’s like to feel a sense of strength and influence. With your Sun in semisquare to Pluto, you may attract partners who have major control issues. Until you learn how to be in control of yourself more positively, you may feel abused, abandoned or wounded through your relationships.
Your inner relationship with your psychological masculine self may be stuck in old patterns which you learned from your early childhood experiences, believing that men are somehow more powerful or that you don’t really deserve to live life fully and well. You can harness the power necessary to leap beyond these old messages into a brighter sense of yourself, transforming your life, and consequently healing your relationships.

Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto: You vacillate between a deep need for control of your environment and the strong desire to leave your circumstances behind and explore new horizons. You have lots of drive and depth but your determination can fluctuate as you alter your direction and your goals. Your powerful insights change target as your life experience grows.
