Pluto


Mover and Shaker  

It's tiny size hides the fact that this planet really packs a wallop! Whatever Pluto touches it affects...deeply.

Pluto governs birth and death and all things hidden. The occult, and the underworld fall under its influence. It's powers of transformation can create huge changes in the collective thinking of the masses. Consider that Pluto opposed Saturn at the time of one of our biggest national and world crisis; the 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy. That single event changed every person who has knowledge of it. That is the intensity of Pluto's influence.

Pluto takes approximately 248 years to progress through ONE cycle of the zodiac. That would leave it in each sign for about 20 to 21 years. This is the third and final "generational" planet, who's influence is said to affect entire generations. Just think of baby-boomers, most of them have Pluto in the same sign.

Pluto's placement in a chart shows where one has the potential for regeneration; for dramatic and life-altering change. Pluto can help you to get through those changes and shows where one has a tendency to "bury ones head in the sand".
