Pluto in the signs: what is your generation? |

You may have heard that crisis is synonymous with opportunity, right? Crises are triggers for changes in our lives. Pluto in Astrology symbolizes crisis and the call to deep change. To know pluto in signs is to better understand human history.

Common sense tends not to like Pluto very much. That’s because a lot of people tend to resist any movement in this direction, because they are too comfortable in their comfort zone. We look suspiciously at Pluto in the natal chart.

But thanks to what Pluto in the signs represents, we follow in the footsteps of remarkable changes in various sectors and experiences. This star went through great controversy in the scientific community in 2006 (and which still divides opinions among astronomers) about whether Pluto is a planet or not (understand more here).

Just follow the traffic pluto by signs to realize how much society has gone through strong changes. Pluto takes a long time to change signs, as its journey to go around the sun takes about 248 years. As its orbit is irregular, the average time Pluto spends in each sign varies.

Anyway, just for didactic purposes, see about two decades there (because it could be that Pluto in each sign lasts from 12 to 30 years). Pluto is a slow planet, very slow moving, yet potent in its impact of transformations.

Following the story is something beautiful when connecting with the movements of the stars by the signs. As much as Pluto cannot be considered alone in this historical observation, because, for example, while transiting through Libra, Uranus also passed through the sign, united with the Plutonian coloring in the early 1970s, it is possible to weave very interesting associations.

That is, to observe what happened in human behavior and experience in association with the transit of Pluto through the Signs. After all, even though the planet was discovered in 1930, it already existed. And it is possible to calculate the signs that Pluto was in at each time and follow interesting data and events with the face of this star.

Pluto in the signs and your generation

Each of us was born with Pluto in a sign, and we are part of a generation of people who have within themselves the strength and power to catalyze change through the expression of the sign their Pluto is in.

See here which sign you have Pluto in and understand below which is your generation (if you want to deepen your reading about Pluto in the Astral Chart, see here).

Pluto in Aries (1821-1852)

If Aries is a sign aimed at developing independence, autonomy, individuality and leadership, obviously when Pluto passed by (and when again it will pass, starting in 2068) will impact changes in this regard.

That is, an enormous desire to have power (Pluto) through a leader, pioneer, courageous and often imposing, dictatorial attitude (Aries). As Aries is a symbol of combat, of war, with Pluto transiting this sign, it is a period of deep clashes. And the changes (Pluto) in weapons and by weapons (Aries).

Pluto in Taurus (1852-1884)

It is a period in which profound changes (Pluto) were directed towards the means of production (Taurus), focused on the search for wealth (Taurus), whether exploring (Pluto) the earth (Taurus) – such as to find oil – or the factory jobs. Also changes (Pluto) in the arts, in aesthetics, in the look, in short, in everything that represents beauty (Taurus).

Pluto in Gemini (1884-1914)

Here, the profound changes involve means of locomotion, as well as transport (the automobile and the plane appeared). For Gemini is the sign associated with movement and interaction. Precisely for this reason, the means of communication also had a great impact in this period (the telephone, journalism, for example).

Pluto in Cancer (1914-1939)

As the sign of Cancer has to do with family and homeland, profound changes were experienced in the family nucleus (such as through the 1st World War) and in this feeling of patriotism. The Sign of Cancer is also associated with the female universe, women, pregnancy and emotions, as well as with issues of security, borders, territory and protection.

All of this is set to change by transiting Pluto in the Cancerian sphere of human experience, as well as women raising families alone by warring husbands. And achievements of greater power from the woman herself.

Pluto in Leo (1939-1957)

Leo – a symbol of authority, as well as leaders, chiefs, etc. – when Pluto transited through this sign, it signaled a period of greater power for dictators. The excesses of power and conquest, totalitarian regimes, the ambition to lead and dominate the world, in short, these issues were very notorious in the 2nd World War.

The leaders (Leo) who fascinated the masses (Pluto) and of course the desire to unseat (Pluto) and disempower (Pluto) these authority figures (Leo). All this impacting education, games, leisure, children’s lives (other points associated with Leo).

Pluto in Virgo (1957-1971)

As Virgo symbolizes issues associated with work and health, Pluto transiting this sign points to profound changes in terms of productivity, diet, medications and surgical procedures. Virgo is also linked to nature, to the cultivation of the land through efficient techniques, instruments and planning.

That’s what we saw at this time with chemical additives in food, for example. The deepening of the human body through careful research.

Pluto in Libra (1971-1984)

Libra is a sign associated with relationships and the search for agreements, peace, harmony. It is not by chance that we had the hippie movement, the “Peace and Love” generation during this passage of Pluto through this sign. Profound changes also linked to marriage and legal issues (another Libra theme) involving divorce, for example.

So much so that Generation X, which experienced the separation of parents, is from this period. It was also the time of the height of the Cold War, that division of the world between East x West, United States x Soviet Union. Everything to do with the Libran duality, with the two scales.

Pluto in Scorpio (1984-1995)

Among the various themes associated with the sign of Scorpio, two of them gain prominence: sexuality and money. During the time when Pluto transited this sign, we had the AIDS epidemic (implying changes in sexual expression) and banking systems underwent many transformations.

Scorpio also calls for surrender, inclusiveness, intimacy and coming out of a dualistic separation as occurred when Pluto was in Libra. And this can be represented by the fall of the Berlin Wall, which divided Germany into East and West.

Pluto in Sagittarius (1995-2008)

Sagittarius is a sign associated with education and teaching. And we were able to follow how many colleges and universities were created during this period. Not to mention the borderless side that the sign represents, with the freedom to learn and teach, as well as to get in touch with other cultures.

And what contributed a lot to this cultural change and the reach of what we published on an international scale was the internet based on the concept of globalization.

Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2023)

We are currently experiencing this transit. Capricorn is the sign of the entrepreneur, the ambition to achieve his goals and achieve recognition. We are in the era of digital entrepreneurship, with the number of successful young people and millionaires from an early age increasing significantly.

Capricorn is also about family, security and structure. And everything that represents the basis of our life goes through this profound restructuring, such as the crisis (Pluto) involving public jobs (Capricorn), the profound changes in the family nucleus with homoaffective unions or couples that separate, form new couples and all there participating in the raising of children.

Capricorn is an earth element sign, associated with nature, and we are seeing the crisis and need for change (Pluto) in the environment. The concern with the sustainable and the ecological gained evidence in this period.

Pluto in Aquarius (1778 to 1798 | 2023 to 2043)

Time of profound changes (Pluto) involving friendships, interpersonal contacts and union in groups of similar ideals (Aquarius). Since the pandemic, the change in this social interaction has been pointing to a future of online contacts. Technology (another Aquarian theme) could impact even more deeply (Pluto) the entire population, such as internet access reaching many more people and the very evolution of technological instruments.

Remembering that in its passage in the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution was quite remarkable. Aquarius is also the mind and the freedom to go beyond limits. We begin to notice how much the space race (Aquarius) can represent significant changes (Pluto).

Pluto in Pisces (1798 to 1821 | 2043 to 2067)

The changes will be more directed towards the field of medicine, healing (themes associated with Pisces). The French physician Pinel is considered one of the forerunners of modern psychiatry. Its importance on the treatment of mental and psychic illnesses was enormous.

It was the transformation (Pluto) in these emotional, psychological and power of the unconscious and spiritual issues (Pisces). It also focused more on psychic and supernatural phenomena, such as sleepwalking and hypnosis. In addition, of course, to the arts – since Piscean coloring can also be experienced through artistic talent. So much so that in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the arts were influenced by romanticism to the detriment of rationalism.
