Do you realize you are potent?

Nope, I've apparently never learned this lesson. I mean, don't get me wrong here, I know I can be a bit ... much ... *grins* but I'm absolutely convinced of my own invisibility. I'm forever shocked when people remember me at all, let alone when people remember me fondly. Also, conversely / perversely, I honestly don't understand why I'm hard to handle, I just know some people find it so. I'm a polite lil' steamroller, after all. ;D
i came, fully, to this realizaition during saturn in libra (saturn opposition.)
i figure my vesta/neptune conjunction in scorpio in the 4th created some of this... but probably in the bigger picture - how it's a grand water trine with my sun in 12th cancer and chiron in pisces 8th house. something about creating some fantasy home-coming. when my cap moon (completes a kite) separates me...
i am far more aware of this now. and i decided about a 1.5 years ago that i have to contain that. it's very hard to do... but i'm sorta using the aqua desc as a ballast.
i don't like hurting people. and i don't think i ever realized how much i did. and, yes, they come back.
Same as SaDiablo.I'm always surprised to hear that I affect people's lives in one way or another, as I'm completely unaware of it.I'm just being me.People come with me telling me stuff liek that, and my Saturn square Pluto self, is just shocked.Deep down I think I'm fairly invisible because I mainly keep to myself.
I was aware of having power, in particular a kind of sexual power (or power of sexual attraction?) from a relatively early age - mid teen, esp sixteen onwards. It became clearer and clearer as I matured and I was fully conscious of it by the time I was around 19/20 - at least in so far as I could weild it to my own advantage
I fear I may not have always realised its destructive powers however. I have BML in Scorpio, prob H2 and opposing my Moon, and she's very powerful in my chart. She trines my Saturn and sextiles my Venus; and there's a minor aspect to my NN - sestriquadrate?
A few men, whom I valued as friends, pined after me all their lives. In only one case did I remove myself from the man's life (as he'd begun to threaten suicide). I could and probably should have been more protective towards the others... but my youthful arrogance (and Taurus Moon's love of dinners out) took it rather as my due. My long time younger lover the Man always comes back for more, no matter how brutally or finally I blow him out... but he's caused me at least as much pain as I've caused him! We have very tight SN/NN and BML / Eros connections; and he's even more Plutonic than I am
I have a well aspected Pluto in Leo which is, I think, a powerful place for it, esp in H11. It sextiles my Libra Neptune and my Gem Uranus/MC. People tell me I have great personal magnetism, though only some seem able to see it! - I think they have to be Plutonic/Scorpionic, or Uranian, themselves, to really catch it
I have Cap Sun/Venus too, which tends to confer physical beauty, so that kicked in to boost the BML in Scorp (and vice versa)
I've got sun/moon/mercury trine pluto as well as pluto opposite asc and square midheaven. Sometimes I get small glimpses at my "potency" and it is very surprising...every....single...time. Intellectually I guess I realize it but I just don't feel it.
BML in Scorpio h7+ Venus/Pluto h6.
Yup. Much self-awareness helps to prevent major destruction. It always rises up from the ashes, but it sucks to be the match. If I am not proactive about boundaries, especially keeping my energy volume down, the dry winds and sparks find me. I also like food too much, and friends. I didn't realize at first that my energy is sexual. Who, me?
Also have Venus sextile Neptune. So my world is very sparkly. Beware of dragons.
I have Pluto in my chart in many different forms, and making many aspects. 7th house Scorpio, Venus/Pluto, and BML in my 8th house conjunct Neptune, and sextile Pluto so....yes, I've known of my own very strong sexual power for some time.
It's a reluctant sort of power to have at times though, as I have not found anyone worthy of sharing it with in a long time. So it feels like a shadow I carry around inside me, but which has no outward expression in my life.
It's also hard to live with at times, as others react to my seemingly never ending potency without my consent, so I tend to wear a 'back off' face mask most of the time to deter all the unthinking 'moths' that try their darndest to get caught up in my 12th house siren's flame.
I'd love to get around to exercising my loving intense power, but....so far I have yet to meet a man that's 'strong enough' to handle all of me at once. Most can only deal with me watered down, and being sweet and agreeable. Le sigh.....must soldier on my with my Venus in Aries, and keep my eyes open.
It's very interesting that many of you have brought up BML - I know very little about this energy, sort of a dark feminine archetype, experienced as sexual? Is that close? I'm intrigued.
I'm not sure if it's correct to tie this in with Pluto/Scorpio planets, it's just that my exes have scorp stelliums and cappy so I wrote the post with them in mind as I could not handle them as things went on. Not sure if I learned my lessons, but I do admire them even if I'm not the one to be with them after a while.
Scorp Sun/Venus/Pluto
I feel similar to SaDiablo. Things that I do that are very small, in my view, are what seem to stick with people. Good and bad. I guess I'm just used to not holding back, so thta level of intensity seems routine to me.
Maybe I need to pay attention to 'little' things more, since they are important to so many people.
I don't think I have ever affected anyone very much. Maybe my last ex since he has to poke me on a regular basis every year (ugh), but then again, that one's a Scorpio. Otherwise I just don't think I affect them at all if they can leave easily and without a backward glance!

So now that pluto is in aspect to my Venus in Aries, I've been waiting to see if any corpses, as Elsa calls them, pop up in my life. Sure enough, one did.
If you are someone with a strong scorp or pluto signature, do you realize that you affect people greatly and are careful who you are intimate with, emotionally, sexually, and materially?
I've known some who did not realize this while young, or mistook someone else as being able to handle them. I'm sorry to say that some of them had to learn the hard way. Do you relate to this?
