Pluto in the Signs – Interpretations

Pluto in Signs and Houses - Interpretations, Pluto abducts persephone
The Rape of Proserpina by Gian Lorenzo Bernini

Pluto is a powerful planet, usually overshadowing its sign influence. Its sign influence will generally only be noticed if Pluto is a personal planet or making a strong aspect to a personal planet. Pluto is also the slowest-moving of all the planets, spending anywhere from 13 to 32 years in one sign. This makes Pluto’s sign influence a ‘generational’ one, affecting everyone born during that time. However, Pluto's House in your chart is personal. For a more personal interpretation of Pluto’s influence in your chart, see Pluto in the Houses.

Below are the interpretations of Pluto in the zodiac signs. To read what Pluto represents in astrology, go to Lesson 5: The Planets.
