Positions
Pluto in Leo
A deep generational marker (roughly 1937 to 1958, the postwar cohort), Pluto in Leo drives total transformation through the individual will, creativity, and the demand to be a self that counts. At its most powerful it gives real creative force and the courage to claim one's own authority. Its shadow is egotism, the will to dominate, and power sought for the self alone. In one person it can read as a strong, sometimes outsized drive to leave a personal mark. The work is letting the ego be transformed rather than enthroned. At your best you turn personal power into something that frees others to shine too.
Lean in — Let personal power serve more than your own ego.
Watch for — Seek power and the spotlight for the self alone.
