Taking the outer planets course.
In case someone´s interested:
I´ve got Pluto in my 4th house. I´ve also got my AK Moon there. I had an extreme attachment to the province in which I grew up; the traditions and values and even it´s nature. I was a botanist, birdwatcher, enthomologist and breathed in that realm. Seeing how the new agriculture and industrialized economy sucked all magic and life out of the landscape of my ancestor´s Småland - the name of the province, it´s where Carl von Linné and IKEA come from - litterally plunged me into depression. I studied in another part of Sweden and couldn´t go home without falling emotionally very ill.
Until I encountered a friend of mine, a reknown poet and a very nice old man, who told me that he had cancer and had only a short time left on earth, and that the night before he had dreamt about his childhood´s landscape being flooded by water; strange vessels passing by at the horizon. I was in the middle of a deep depression, related to what I´ve described above, at the moment. Later that day or the next day I was sitting on a train, and was awakened in the middle of the train´s monotony by a vision, showing my fathérs aluminium canoe tied to a birch tree in the summer house´s garden. That was the start of a series of visions that came to me during a time of maybe a month, like a slow movie telling a story, screen by screen. It was basically the sequel of my friend´s dream; I don´t doubt that he´s protective spirits saw my state and decided to take care of me too. I saw my childhood´s landscape flooding. There was a lot of details to it clarifying many things; like the role of church and christianity that I grew up with; the bells were ringing all the time, until the priest and the sexton were saved from the belfry and the whole structure plunged into the water, provoked by the cuban skipper who come to their rescue on a wheel steamer... After a few weeks the water disappeared, life went back to normal in my childhoods (inner) village - and my 4th house had been cleaned up! After that I´ve never had any problems revisiting my home province, I have completely accepted the loss of the old ways, and also the loss of the much richer echo systems that existed until modernity broke in; all the flowers, birds and insects that you don´t encounter anymore. A few years later I realized I had nothing important left in my native Sweden and moved to Latin America; basically back in time where you can still see a wagon being dragged by oxens and a natural smile on a peasant´s face, or a naturally looking girl in a dress.
Just saying. Pluto in the 4th.

PS. As said my Moon is there too; I guess that explains the water. Also the fact that it was a flooding; growth and decline. It would be interesting to see the role of the other planets; for example Pluto is 9 from Venus; Venus being the poet and 9 having a father/mentor quality to it; my friend was an old man. It´s my GK; I don´t know if an old fried can play the role of "grandfather"? Sun and Me are in 4/10 relation to Pluto, they should have something to do with it too I suppose; perhaps Me as the AmK being in the 4th from Pluto had a triggering function?
Signwise it happened in Virgo. The opposite house is the house of flooding, Pisces. My Rahu is in the clensing house, Aries.
Pisces is my 10th house. I was an expert on the biology and old agriculture to the degree that I had written a chapter in a book, edited by the Swedish authority in charge of the preservation of relics like runestones, old buildings etc. I never touched that theme again after having had my vision; I stopped clinging to ancient times. The process was also triggered by me writing and essay on literature in essay, concerning some of the christian attitued of the culture I grew up in; which as said was also a theme resolved in my vision. A 10th house connotation, in a way.
