Is the 2nd house a good place for Pluto?

Does Pluto in the 2nd House change with transits?

The natal placement doesn't move. But transiting planets passing through your 2nd house light up the natal Pluto in waves — Jupiter widens it, Saturn pressures it, the outer planets re-shape it slowly. The natal placement is the baseline; the transits are the weather.
