Pluto
- Rules
- Scorpio
Pluto is the principle of death and rebirth: power, depth, intensity, the unconscious, and the taboo. It is the drive to strip away the false and regenerate from the root, working through crisis, obsession, and profound transformation. A modern outer planet unknown to the older tradition, Pluto moves slowly and so is partly generational; in the personal chart it matters most by house and by aspect to the personal planets, where its transpersonal force breaks into individual life.
Lean in — Work consciously with Pluto where it touches your personal planets and angles.
Watch for — Resist Pluto's pull entirely; its force tends to arrive whether or not you cooperate.
