SYMBOL

Pluto

The Great Transformer

Pluto's place as a planet in astronomy is controversial. But it still remains significant in astrology. Pluto signifies transformation, regeneration, and deep insights. Positively, it instills a profound understanding, resilience, and the ability to navigate intense change. However, the plutonian influence can lead to power struggles, obsessions, or a tendency to delve too deeply into the darker aspects of life. To handle Pluto effectively, embrace personal growth, release attachments to control, and channel transformative energy into positive pursuits. Balancing the transformative power of Pluto with a mindful and empowering approach ensures that its influence contributes to positive evolution and self-discovery.

Pluto is correlated to Hades in Greek mythology, Hades was the god of the Underworld and ruler of the dead. He was the elder brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and was often depicted with a helmet that rendered him invisible. Hades abducted Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, to be his queen in the Underworld, which led to Demeter's grief and the changing of seasons. Despite being associated with death and the afterlife, Hades was not considered an evil deity, but rather a stern and just ruler of the Underworld. He was known for being impartial, ensuring that each soul received their rightful judgment in the afterlife.

Advice on how to
handle Pluto

Embrace Transformation

Embrace change and view transformation as an opportunity for growth rather than something to be feared. Allow yourself to shed old patterns and evolve into a more authentic version of yourself.

Explore Your Depths

Dive deep into your emotions, desires, and subconscious mind. Engage in introspective practices like meditation, journaling, or therapy to gain a better understanding of your inner world.

Empowerment, Not Control

Focus on personal empowerment rather than trying to control external circumstances or people. Recognize that true power comes from within and is not dependent on external factors.

Honor Endings and Beginnings

Pluto often signifies cycles of endings and new beginnings. Embrace closure and trust that even in the midst of transitions, there is potential for rebirth and renewal.


Am I embracing transformation and allowing necessary endings in my life — or am I holding onto things too tightly that are no longer working for me?

Do I confront my deepest fears and unresolved issues, or do I avoid them?

How do I handle power dynamics and issues of control in my relationships? Do I continue them, or remove myself from these situations?

What patterns of regeneration and renewal am I experiencing in my life?

Am I harnessing my inner strengths and personal power, or am I allowing them to languish?
