PLUTO

Pluto is the last planet in our solar system going outward from the sun, but it is also the first on the way in from interstellar space. Pluto thus reminds us that the last phase of any process is also the beginning of a new cycle, that death is a portal to rebirth, and that we reach farthest beyond ourselves when we go deepest within. 

With Pluto all things tend to turn into their opposites when carried far enough. Pluto is thus said to represent extreme, pendulum-like swings.

Pluto represents all that is paradoxical; it is said both to breed secrecy and intrigue, and to force hidden matters out into the open. With Pluto, we must never be satisfied with surface appearances, but must probe deeply to the heart of things. Thus Pluto may symbolize especially cogent and penetrating insights and persuasive communications. 

Negatively, intimate communications may be tainted by coercion, or the truth may be purposely obscured. Festering repressed feelings may be at the root of such negative Plutonian drives.  

Yet true to its paradoxical nature, Pluto also represents catharsis and purity - catharsis as the result of a death-rebirth regeneration, purity as the expression of being what one essentially is. 

As our sun is also a galactic star, the message of Pluto is that we needn't go anywhere to find a source of light. It is within us.

PLUTO IN SAGITTARIUS 

Pluto, the slowest moving of all the planets, takes 246 years to complete its journey around the Sun and through all 12 signs. Its orbit is eccentric, for it will take only 13 years to travel through some signs and up to 32 years to transit others. It is therefore a generation influence.

We can only speculate on the personal and generation influences of Pluto from this sign. In essence, the sign and planet are opposites; Sagittarius is open, freedom-loving independent, and couldn’t be less secretive while Pluto is very secretive, finding it difficult to unburden, intense and possessively jealous.

However when Pluto’s influence causes purges, a great deal is brought into the open. Is it in this way that Pluto will act from Sagittarius? It seems to be lately, judging by all the scandals.

Hopefully so, provided of course that the disturbance they cause is a problem in itself. It seems hard to think of any Sagittarian influence causing revolutionary tendencies, so the chances are that reactions will be tinged with wisdom and the sage-like traits of Sagittarius/Jupiter. It is these qualities that we hope will add an interesting dimension to the children born while Pluto is in this sign.
