Transformation & Power
Pluto is the God of the Underworld. It rules everything hidden: nuclear energy, psychology, and the soul's evolution. It destroys what is false so that what is true can rise from the ashes.

The Nuclear Reactor
Pluto is the furthest planet, and the most intense. It is the higher octave of Mars. Where Mars fights the battle, Pluto wins the war by destroying the entire battlefield. It governs elimination, both physical and psychological.
Power & Control: Pluto represents our deepest urge for control. It shows where we feel powerless, and thus where we become obsessive to regain power.
Generational Eras: Pluto moves very slowly (spending 12-30 years in a sign). It defines the "Generational Mission." (e.g., Pluto in Scorpio = Millennials obsessed with deep emotions/Harry Potter).
Transformation: Pluto acts like a volcano. Pressure builds quietly for years, then explodes. This process strips away the ego to reveal the soul.
