Pluto in Astrology: Death and Rebirth
Pluto is considered to be one of the most challenging cosmic influences in Astrology.
It’s known as the Lord of the Underworld. Pluto rules the Zodiac sign of Scorpio and the 8th house of occult, death, taxes, loans, finances of others, sex and deep intimacy.
It represents what’s hidden beneath the surface, our deepest, darkest fears and desires.
Pluto’s energy is all about transformation, deep soul searching, death and rebirth.
It is a karmic planet and its placement in a Birth Chart indicates an area of our lives where we are likely to experience the biggest growth and deepest transformation. It can also signify what we are likely to be obsessing about.
Though small in size, Pluto packs a bigger punch than most other planets in terms of its influence on our lives. It’s a very slow moving planet, taking up to 30 years to move through just one given sign and 248 years to move through the whole of the Zodiac!
Therefore Pluto is considered to be a generational planet—meaning that a certain generation will have the same Pluto sign.
For example, individuals born between 1983 and 1995 are often called the “Pluto in Scorpio generation.”
Therefore Pluto’s position in our Birth Chart (the house it is placed in) has a more significant impact on us than its Zodiac sign.
