Pluto, the lord of the underworld, symbolises the forces of deep transformation in our lives. A slow-moving planet, Pluto's influence is in general most clearly noticeable as it distinguishes one generation from the next.

In your personal life, Pluto's significance is found in its house position and the aspects it makes to other planets in your chart. Pluto rules intense energy, signifying the areas in which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control. Pluto, linked to your karmic responsibility, also indicates those areas where you need to gain the deepest level of understanding.

The outermost known planet in our system, Pluto completes its journey through all twelve signs in around 248 years. The period Pluto spends in each sign can vary from twelve years to thirty-two years, due to the eccentricity of its orbit.
