Pluto in Scorpio
Pluto in Scorpio points to tremendous inner strength, intuition and the ability to come back from a crisis. Pluto is in its modern home sign here, so its themes are especially powerful.

What It Means
In modern astrology Pluto rules Scorpio, whose traditional ruler is Mars. Here Pluto shows itself in pure form: depth, passion and fascination with secrets, power, death and rebirth. The generation born with it grew up amid change and crisis: the collapse of old systems, new epidemics and open discussion of sexuality and psychology. These people aren't afraid to face the truth and intuitively sense what's hidden. In a personal chart it gives willpower, insight and the capacity to survive and be reborn. Pluto's house shows where the person faces their main crises and finds strength. The challenge is a pull toward control, jealousy, extremes and difficulty forgiving. Directed toward healing, this power becomes a rare gift for supporting people through their darkest times.
