Pluto in Gemini
Pluto in Gemini points to transformation through ideas, information, communication and knowledge. Pluto was in Gemini roughly from 1882 to 1914, so practically no one alive has this placement. The sign describes a generation that saw the telegraph, telephone, newspapers and new sciences change the way people think.
What It Means
Pluto in Gemini joins the power of change with themes of thought, language and communication. The generation born around the turn of the 20th century witnessed an enormous information upheaval: the telephone, radio, mass newspapers, the automobile, new scientific theories and psychoanalysis. Words and ideas became instruments of power and change. Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, gives Pluto an intellectual tone. In historical charts the placement points to people whose thoughts and writing shaped society: writers, scientists, journalists and inventors. For today's reader it's a key to ancestors' charts. The challenge is manipulating information, propaganda and obsession with ideas. The same themes still matter through transits: when Pluto crosses your 3rd house or touches Mercury, the way you think and speak changes.
