Pluto can swing to an altitude up to 3 times higher than the moon, representing the rises and falls all humans can go through in their life.

 Pluto takes 248 years to complete its orbit around all zodiac signs. Pluto cannot be seen with the human eye and needs to be viewed with a telescope.

Because of this, many astrologers view Pluto as a generational planet.

 It is the third transcendental planet, with Uranus and Neptune being the other transcendental planets.

 Pluto’s movement into a zodiac sign often signals the start of a new generation, making its mark on all born when Pluto is in a particular sign.

Pluto was discovered in  January 1930 and was first called planet x; Venetia Burney, an 11-year-old girl who lived in Oxford, England. Her father submitted her proposal that the planet X should be called Pluto via telegraph, which was accepted.

Pluto is in direct orbit of the sun; they have been a lot of debate over the years over if Pluto is a planet or not.

In 2006, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet- nickname “icy little dwarf”.

At the time of its discovery, the planet Mars was opposite Pluto. Pluto was zodiacally in cancer and constellationally in Taurus. In western astrology, the sun was in Aquarius at Pluto’s discovery.

 Yet in Vedic and constellation astrology, the sun was in Capricorn, which Uranus- ruler of Aquarius also co-rules with Saturn.

Letting the higher temper, the lower

Pluto symbol is a monogram of the first two letters of its given name, P and L ♇; it is said its symbol come from the astronomers Percival Lowell’s initials.

 Mr. Lowell’s spent a lot of time doing calculations that sought to work out Pluto’s location.

However, sometimes Pluto symbol is recoded as , astrologer Marc Edmund Jones stated this symbol represented Pluto’s role as a “soul creating spirit out of matter”.

Again alluding to Pluto’s purpose of calling humans to transform from their past current or past lifetimes self-destructive thought patterns and habits to evolve into a new individualised soul.

The cross in the symbol stands for what the Greeks called metanoia, which is a complete change of heart- and lifestyle.

After a spiritual, philosophical, intellectual or religious conversion, shedding the old, to be, rebirthed into the new.

They have been some criticism that all astrologer’s interpretation of the planet Pluto’s meaning and influence are, guided and therefore clouded by the myth of  Hades.

So the explanations they produce that infer Pluto’s underworld connotations result from projection and not actual reality.

Nonetheless, as an astrologer myself and someone who has Pluto dominant in their chart.

As well as the input of other astrologers with vastly more experience than I, who have written extensively about the effect, Pluto’s placement in each of the zodiac houses or signs.

Will have on each individual’s life, taking into account the whole birth chart.

 Using the real-life experiences of many individuals by analysing their birth charts and the life events that each chart owner experienced to form their interpretations.

Being your truth

Pluto wants to shed light on the things buried in our psyche, family and collective history.

So we can find solutions to our individual and collective problems.

 If we were to make a truthful examination of our shared experiences here on earth.

It would become apparent that many, if not all, of our worldly and personal conflicts.

 Are a result of becoming stuck in our ways and continuing to use old solutions to problems, even when experience tells us they are ineffective.

On a side note, Uranus was discovered in the 18^th century, Neptune in the 19^th and Pluto in the 20^th century.

What new planet will be found in the 21^st century that reveals itself to be a key player in the vibrations of human life, I wonder?

Bisexuality

The sexuality of Pluto: the energy of the other planets have been easy to define in astrology; Venus, Neptune and the moon are seen as female- yin-negative energy and Mars, the Sun, and Jupiter are seen as male-yang-positive energy. Mercury and Uranus are seen as neutral.

Saturn, by sign because of its rulership of Capricorn, is seen as female, as Capricorn Is Yin energy, but in mythology, Saturn is seen as male because of the links made to Cronos, the Greek god, is seen as an authority male figure.

 But when we see Saturn as the co-ruler as Aquarius, which is a yang sign.

So you could say Saturn is bisexual, along with Uranus and Pluto and because Hades/ Pluto is sometimes referred to as the daughter of Cronos/Saturn or mother of Tantalos.

 Evoking bisexual connotations, but if you think of it, there is a positive and negative  ( yin and yang) vibration to each planet and zodiac sign.

Just as there is a positive and negative (yin and yang) side to all humans and everything in nature.

In one myth in ancient times, all humans were born with two faces, one male and one female, then we become separated, cutting off one side of our nature.

Pluto calls us to acknowledge our higher and lower selves and transmute our self-destructive energies into higher consciousness behaviours.
