What Pluto Governs
Pluto represents transformation, power, death and rebirth, the collective shadow, and compulsion.
Pluto in the Natal Chart
Pluto's house shows where you experience the deepest transformation and encounters with power. Pluto conjunct personal planets intensifies and sometimes obsessively focuses the energy of that planet.
Pluto Transits
Pluto spends 12-30 years in each sign — its effects are generational. Pluto transiting personal planets brings profound, irreversible transformation. The Pluto square at approximately 36-38 is a major power and identity reckoning.
