Pluto PLUTO is a planet of awesome power, but it is a power that we still find largely inexplicable and difficult to understand. Pluto was discovered as recently as 1930, and astrologers continue to study this planet's influence in astrology. What is certain is that wherever Pluto appears in your horoscope, that area of life will show a marked change, perhaps a transformation. If you have ever experienced one of those blinding moments in which you suddenly see your life in an entirely new light and decide to change everything, you have felt the energy of Pluto. Pluto's action brings to light things hidden in the depths of your subconscious, releases your dormant forces, and causes your suppressed energies suddenly to erupt. Pluto is named after the Roman god of the underworld and the nether regions of Hades, and of the spirits of the dead. Originally called Planet X, Pluto was given its name by a young British girl whose letter suggesting a new name for the planet was the first to arrive at the Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was first discovered. The planet is well named, for in astrology Pluto signifies death and rebirth. It is the planet of regenerative forces, of destruction and annihilation, and then complete transformation. Its keyword is elimination; Pluto wipes the slate clean. Pluto's immense power is felt in world events and in the great tides of history. It influences masses of humanity, enormous groups of people, and large organizations. Mass media and giant conglomerates are in its domain. Pluto rules over such disruptive elements in nature as earthquakes and volcanoes. Its negative influence is shown in mob violence, demonstrations, murder, wide-scale terrorism, and bombing. Pluto's power has been likened to that of nuclear fission, which both destroys and creates. There are two sides to Pluto's influence, and like the two sides of a coin they are opposite but part of the same. Pluto has a powerful generational influence, and also a personal meaning in your chart. The planet governs the beginnings and ends of the phases in life. If your fife has taken a dramatic shift-if, for example, you have worked hard for a goal, only to see it destroyed or ended, and an entirely new direction opened up-Pluto is likely to be prominent in your horoscope. People who have had to leave their homes behind to begin anew in a foreign country are under Pluto's influence. The Plutonian character has a deep need to dominate and control, and often will rise to great heights. People who have brilliant careers in politics and government, in medical research and archeology are under Pluto's influence; the planet governs the uncovering of secrets of the past in order to clear ground for the future. Even in the most civilized personality, Pluto's force is felt as an undercurrent of turbulence and uncontrolled energy. Its strong negative power may cause some people to be cruel, sadistic, treacherous, or even lead a life of crime. Pluto's power is seen in both idealistic leaders and brutal dictators. Pluto represents the highest and lowest of which mankind is capable. Some astrologers believe Pluto's power is too arcane and mysterious for human beings to analyze properly now, but that the planet will continue to govern impulses in our secret psyches that we do not yet fully understand.
