Many combinations arise in judging the physical strength of a horoscope. PL in the I or X is one of the placements that grant the most strength. We frequent this placement in the horoscopes of strongmen, boxers, wrestlers, etc… Pluto and Scorpio are indomitable, indefatigable elements, and that is the kind of energy the bestow. The type of energy Pluto grants differs from that of Mars. Pluto is more silent and reserved, where as Mars is more direct and brash.
As examples of Pluto in the I or X we can mention:
-Mike Tyson: American former professional boxer.
-Paul Anderson: American weightlifter, strongman and powerlifter.
-John Grun: believed to be the strongest man in the world at the end of the 19th century.
Aspects between the Sun and Pluto can also be noted as in the case of Bruce Lee with his individualizing Sun/Pluto trine (Orb: 1°) that lines up on the Ascendant, explaining his muscular development.
Saturn in the I usually gives a thin body, a bony appearance (think Tony Hawk). But why does it appear in the horoscopes of people with great strength? Because of the resistance and discipline for development it provides.
As examples of Saturn in the I or X we can mention:
-Charles Atlas: American bodybuilder who weighed 44 kg at one point in his life.
-George Foreman: American former professional boxer.
Aspects between the Sun and Saturn grant endurance and rigidity. Here we see boxers like Tony Zale (Sun 0° SAT in GEM Orb: ex), whose nickname “Man of Steel” is reinforced by his ability to withstand devastating blows and still knock out his opponents. We can also see this aspect operating in the life of the IFBB professional bodybuilder Kai Green (Sun 0 SAT in CAN Orb: 3°) and his brutal workouts in the gym.
Soft aspects between the Sun and Mars grant energy, strength, and can explain episodes in the life of the person where periods of physical activity are exhibited, especially if they line up on the AS/DS or MC/IC axis, which makes the aspect specific to the person. The hard aspects entail violence and aggression, we also come across heart attacks and issues with the heart.
Sun/Jupiter soft aspects help in muscular development, putting on weight, recuperation.
Pisces and Neptune are weak elements. They are too tender for roughness and easily submit. Although the effect of Neptune is classed as subtle and insidious, it can operate explosively and violently.
The cardinal quality rivals the fixed quality in terms of strength. Cardinal signs start off strong, but wear out with time. Fixed signs are stable and lasting, they can outlast the cardinal signs in a drawn out match. The mutable quality is the weakest, but most adaptable.
Fire and earth signs are one of the strongest signs. Fire is naturally energetic and full of vitality. Earth is naturally rough and difficult to break through.
