With Pluto transiting your 1st house you have began to recognize your individual identity and develop it. Most your goals are probably personal and revolve around self improvement. Where would you like to see these improvements?  In areas you feel the weakest or threatened.  For example, Alot of people with this long transit might handle it by getting plastic surgery because they feel insecure about a facial feature that was made fun of during childhood. Most seek a more powerful image through other means though. It could be through excersize, eating, fashion. I believe that you will try to attain your confidence boost, personal goals or what ever you want to call it through education, speaking or writing due to a conjunction of Pluto and Mercury.  It’s likely that you understand knowledge is power that can help you gain a greater understanding of yourself and those around you.  Thoughts,  expressions (facial), and ideas have likely became more intense as Pluto has inhabited your first house.  I’m sure by now you’ve became a pro at reading between the lines. Quickly able to see hidden motivations and meanings in the words of others. Pluto in the first makes a leader, not a follower. You are more likely to do things your own way than rely on the advice of others.  That’s good because following others is a bad idea for you at this time. Ignore the things you can not change and focus on the personal power you have, not the personal power you want to get the most out of this placement.  You can make some amazing personal changes over the next few years if you follow your gut and keep working twords your goals.
