Pluto in the chart is expressed as polar magnetism (love or hate), power plays, financial transformation for better or worse, and the ability to survive intense life-changing experiences. It can also bring psychological abilities, an innate ability with the occult subjects, tantric sexual experiences, and emergence of a new self. Pluto manifests as resilience. In the body, it rules the pancreas, metabolism, elimination (lower bowels), wastes, and mind-over-matter.

Pluto rules transformation, degeneration with regeneration, coercion, hidden forces, sex, extremes, elimination, reform, and power plays. The placement of Pluto in the natal chart by sign, house, and aspect determines how the potential of how your soul’s regenerative powers is expressed.

At its worst, Pluto exhibits an insatiable desire for power and winning at all costs, cruelty, sadism, manipulation, and self-destructive tendencies.
