Named after the Roman god of the underworld ("Hades," in Greek mythology), Pluto's power is rooted in darkness.
Though this icy celestial body didn't measure up to the astronomical definition of a planet, by astrological standards, Pluto is still a really big deal. It symbolizes power, transformation, destruction, and regeneration. Named after the Roman god of the underworld ("Hades," in Greek mythology), Pluto's power is rooted in darkness. This beguiling planet seamlessly slithers into complex infrastructures, quietly transforming systems from the inside. Pluto reminds us that in order for us to manifest change, we must release the past. It is associated with Scorpio, the elusive water sign defined by its mysterious disposition. Pluto takes approximately 14 to 30 years to transit each sign and goes retrograde each year for around 185 days. When Pluto goes retrograde, we are asked to let go of what's no longer serving us so that we can transform into a better version of ourselves.
