Rules: Scorpio / 8th house
Natal significance: Since Pluto takes about twenty years to move through a sign (varying, since its orbit is highly elliptical), its significance is very much generational -- in a sense, it represents the collective unconscious of a generation, its way of conceptualizing power, sexuality and change -- but its placement by house also shows what realm of your life you as an individual have power issues with. If Pluto is prominent in your chart, issues of power and sexuality may be extremely important to you, and uoi should guard against ruthlessness. Pluto shows how you deal with intensity and with times of change and loss.
Transiting significance: Where Pluto passes in your chart, it brings tremendous and powerful change that is drastic and perhaps traumatic, but regenerative. Pluto's effects may seem radical and even unexpected, but really Pluto brings to the surface that which has been brewing hidden, perhaps in your subconscious or in the form of repressed memories. Pluto transits are slow-moving; they take years to unfold. But that's because their effects are life-altering, from the most primal depths of your being.
