2. Symbology of Pluto

For thousands of years, people all over the world have been enchanted by the great theater that is our sky. We watch in awe of the majesty of the stars.

To me, knowing that this sky is the same one you peer up into wherever you stand on Earth is humbling. But then also realizing that it`s the same sky that billions of people have also watched throughout time — now that is something truly beautiful to comprehend.

Pluto: the planet of rebirth

Keywords: Transformation, destruction, death, evolution, domination, power, regeneration, the subconscious

• Time to transit between zodiac signs: About 12 to 15 years
• What it represents within you: How you transform and are reborn
• What it represents in life: Global powers, institutions, banks

In the chart, the position of Pluto by sign will be shared with other people in the same generation due to the comparatively slow movement of Pluto, the outermost planet, in the heavens.

Pluto, God of the Underworld, is the ruler of Scorpio. (In Greek mythology, the corresponding god was Hades). In Astrology, the energies of Pluto are transforming. Pluto represents subconscious forces, ruling all that is “below the surface”.

On the up side, Pluto is associated with renewal and rebirth. It represents endings and new beginnings, as well as spiritual growth and rebirth. Negative expression of Pluto is an obsessive desire for power and control and general destructiveness. By house, the position of Pluto shows where individuals search for truths and deeper meaning. This area of life may be associated with change, upheaval, power struggles, and issues of control.

Pluto in aspect to other planets in the chart colors those energies with obsessive qualities, power struggles, the need to find deeper meanings, and willingness to explore and examine. Where we find Pluto in the chart is where we either seek change and transformation, or have it thrust upon us if we refuse to accept our deepest needs. If we fear Pluto`s energies, or our “dark” side, destructiveness (both directed at ourselves or others) is a byproduct.

Pluto`s glyph, or symbol, combines the circle (spirit) over the crescent (receptivity) and the cross (matter). This glyph suggests spiritual receptivity to “superworlds” or the superconscious, placed above the physical world. A common, although perhaps somewhat outdated, glyph for Pluto merges the letters P and L (which are the initials of the man who discovered Pluto, Percival Lowell), and is pictured here at right.

Pluto is the ruler of all destructive choices and taboos in the world, speaking primarily of the human need for sexual repression that leads to deep unconscious frustration that tends to set itself free. It rules the sign of Scorpio which is, after all, the sign of sex and war, and Pluto is all of this comprised into one point where things explode, burst into flames, standing for the point of nuclear energy that cannot be contained. It can hold a lot, everything we shoved under the rug and under our mattresses in search for unrealistic instinctive fulfillment. Still, there comes a point in which Pluto can`t contain any more repression, and it simply spins out of control, leading to all sorts of destructive circumstances and choices. Apart from our beliefs and social norms, Pluto will take us into an entirely new whole, where justice is simply what it is, found in primal needs we don`t want to face.

No matter its planetary status, Pluto is still considered the ruler of Scorpio, alongside with this sign`s traditional ruler – Mars. The sign of Aries represents that direct, masculine energy, shown through the initiative and clarity Mars tends to give, and Pluto is its feminine counterpart, something presenting an end to Mars` beginning and a Jin to its Jang. The actual strength of Mars is seen through its capability to accept the feminine within, and Pluto is here to show just how much it has been accepted. The division of the world into masculine and feminine wouldn`t be a problem as such if there weren`t so many misconceptions and wrongly set convictions nurtured through entire bloodlines, where one isn`t as good or as capable as the other. The sign of Scorpio exalts Uranus, and with it our human nature, individuality, and asexual character that overcomes specific parts of our physical body. If our Soul can move from one incarnation to the other, and our unconscious has the ability to move through all of the roles imaginable, how is it possible we still stick to superficial misconceptions that take away the importance of the role each gender, race, and religion have in the overall image of society?

Pluto doesn`t exactly manifest in the prettiest of ways. This isn`t the case because it is evil, but because we believe evil exists. If there was a devil in your chart, it would be presented by Pluto for sure, and from the house it resides in, you will see where you can search to find it. Depending on our greatest fear, Pluto will manifest as possessive behavior, jealousy, destruction, and our deepest and darkest inner anomalies and impulses. It is us beyond instinctive, triggered by dismissal, judgment, and deep repression that rules our entire existence. On a mundane level, Pluto will manifest through wars or natural disasters, as an energetic discharge bound to come at some point in time if the entire society and the universal consciousness doesn`t let things flow. Its rule and manifestations are typically connected to areas on Earth where people have trouble with “rivers” of ancestors, being tied to them or unable to accept the destruction and death preceding their incarnation.

If the setting of Pluto is strong and its aspects good, we will see it representing regeneration, transformation and the atomic energy we carry within.
