Rules: Scorpio

Influences: Transformation, Elimination

Pluto is the most distant planet in the solar system. Although its influence is subtle and gradual, Pluto has the power to completely transform those areas of life that it passes through on its slow and shadowy journey through the universe.

In Roman mythology, Pluto was ruler of the Underworld and possessed of enormous and devastating powers.

The planet represents death but also regeneration and rebirth. It destroys, purifies, and renews. The process can be tedious and hard, yet ultimately promises positive transformation.

The qualities of Pluto are seen in the deep, obsessive Scorpio personality. Those born under this sign often experience a sense of guilt, resentment and fear yet are deeply committed to personal growth.
