Planet

Pluto

Pluto is the planet of transformation, depth, and power — what destroys to rebuild.

Pluto is officially a dwarf planet but astrologically remains a major body. It rules transformation, depth, power, what's hidden, and the slow process of destruction-and-rebirth that characterizes all major life transitions. Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio. Pluto is deeply generational — it spends 12 to 32 years per sign depending on its elliptical orbit, and completes a full cycle in 248 years. Your Pluto sign describes the transformative theme of your entire generation. The house Pluto occupies is the area of life that undergoes the most profound rebuilding over the course of your life — what you'll obsess about, what you'll lose and rebuild. Pluto transits to personal planets are typically multi-year affairs producing genuinely irreversible change. Pluto doesn't redecorate; it demolishes and rebuilds.
