Pluto's discovery coincided (roughly) with a global recession in 1929, the rise of fascism and World War Two and the discovery of nuclear power. It rules transformation and the cycle of beginnings and endings. Pluto represents all that is hidden, unseen or buried and takes 246 years to circle the Zodiac!

Whatever sign Pluto is residing within, it can help an individual to triumph over the odds. It intensifies and strengthens any sector or planet it touches. It also rules obsessive behavior, taboos and compulsions, crisis, life and death and the ultimate transformation of energy. Pluto also rules undercover work (such as detective or spy work) and the roots of plants or vegetables. It specialises in unearthing or unmasking of all that has been hidden or concealed. You can't keep a secret from your old friend Pluto!

Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio.
