Pluto SignThe Definitive Guide 2018
This page is about Pluto.
The last planet from the Sun in our Zodiac System, Pluto represents hopes and dreams, beliefs and illusions.
It is how we see new horizons, how we look at our own spiritual healing and how we service others in fantasy and dreams.
Let’s take a look at Pluto and Pluto Signs.
What Is Pluto In Astrology
Pluto
Pluto, the last planet on the edge of the solar system, represents the unconscious urge to transform repressed ego-desire energies into group-desire energies to live out your role in society’s evolution.
Pluto represents sexuality (the act itself, as opposed to the energetic desire which is associated with Mars), obsessive desires, transformation, power, and the ingredients of great wealth (investments, banking, loans, debt, mortgages).
This area of life is associated with upheaval, change, power struggles, and issues of control.
When Pluto is in aspect to other planets in the natal chart colours those energies with obsessive qualities, power struggles, the need to find deeper meanings, and willingness to explore and examine.
Where Pluto is in our charts is where we either seek transformation and change or have it forced upon us if we struggle to accept our deepest needs.
If we fear Pluto’s energy or our “dark shadow” side, then destructiveness (both directed at ourselves or others) is a byproduct of that process.
Pluto reveals our addictions, vices and our own undoing. However, just like the Phoenix rising out of the ashes, Pluto shows us how to transform those ashes into gold. Pluto knows nothing ever really dies; it’s merely transmuted into another form.

Pluto Sign Meaning
Pluto rules over drastic changes that bring true upheavals. Pluto is the slowest-moving planet, and so an entire generation will share the same Pluto sign, giving it historical importance.
Severe and permanent changes in civilisation as a whole can be linked to Pluto’s movement through the signs. On a personal level, the House that Pluto occupies in your chart will show how Plutonian energy is manifested in your life.
Pluto will transform those things in your life that require regeneration, whether you desire it or not. You may experience dramatic crises or have to endure terrible suffering where Pluto is involved in your chart, but for the purpose of healing. Pluto tears down only to transform and regenerate what has been destroyed. Pluto is associated with recklessness, mental obsession and compulsion, emotional resistance, and overall transcendence. It is also related to unsolved mysteries, secrets, and taboos.
Generational Planets
FACT: Pluto is the furthest of the generational planets, along with Uranus and Neptune. Even though Jupiter and Saturn are both slow moving, it’s the generational planets that can affect whole generations with its slow transit.
Planet Symbol / Glyph: Pluto
The outdated glyph of Pluto merges the letters P and L letters ( the initials of Percival Lowell, the man who discovered Pluto).
Pluto’s newer glyph, or symbol, combines the circle (spirit) over the crescent (receptivity) and the cross (matter). This glyph suggests spiritual receptivity to “super worlds” or the superconscious, placed above the physical world.
