23 Mar Astrology 101: The Planets – Pluto

Transformation and Regeneration

Pluto’s energy may be subtle, but its results will hit you like a ton of bricks. This planet is about transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Things aren’t pretty with Pluto, but they do get done. Pluto says ‘out with the old and in with the new,’ and we’d better be ready for it. If we’re not, this planet will simply have us wallow in our misery. Pluto asks us to transcend that which we know, redeem ourselves in the process, and come out stronger as a result.

For all that Pluto (re)creates (it also governs the reproductive system), it loves to destroy. This planet rules destruction, death, obsession, kidnapping, coercion, viruses and waste. That’s definitely not pretty. Pluto also governs crime and the underworld, along with many forms of subversive activity (terrorism, dictatorships). This planet is about all that is secret and undercover, that which is hidden from view.

Although it sometimes works in subtle ways, the influence of Pluto in our lives is far reaching and transformational. its two extremes are best symbolized by Hitler and Gandhi, each man possessed of a vision that he manifested in a physical reality. Both had a mission, a sense of destiny, but one cases massive destruction and the other elevated mass consciousness.

In out lives,Pluto’s influence works in the same way. Pluto tears down our habits and belief systems, the very structures that Saturn has helped us build, thus forcing us to transcend the ruin – or to smother in the debris.
