Pluto is a planet of awesome power, but it is a power that we still find largely inexplicable and difficult to understand. Pluto brings to light things hidden in the depths of your subconscious, releases your dormant forces, and causes your suppressed energies suddenly to erupt. It signifies death and rebirth. It is the planet of regenerative forces, or destruction and annihilation, and then complete transformation. Its immense power is felt in world events, and in the great tides of history. It influences masses of humanity, enormous groups of people, and large organizations. Mass media and giant conglomerates are in its domain. Pluto rules over such disruptive elements in nature as earthquakes and volcanoes. Its negative influence is shown in mob violence, demonstrations, murder, wide-scale terrorism, and bombing. There are two sides to Pluto's influence. It has a powerful generational influence, and also a personal meaning in your chart. It governs the beginnings and ends of the phases in life. The Plutonian character has a deep need to dominate and control, and often will rise to great heights. It governs the uncovering of secrets of the past in order to clear ground for the future. Pluto's force is felt as an undercurrent of turbulence and uncontrolled energy. Its strong negative power may cause some people to be cruel, sadistic, treacherous, or even lead a life of crime.
