Pluto in Aries

Pluto in Aries describes a collective transformation driven by individual will, courage and self-assertion. Personally, it points to a power expressed through direct action and the ability to start over from nothing.

Pluto takes nearly two hundred and fifty years to circle the zodiac, so each placement returns only once in about two and a half centuries and is read as much in history as in individual charts. Astrologers link it with eras when individuals rise against the established order, when independence movements, pioneers and ruptures are driven by a handful of fierce wills. Pluto speaks of power, of what has to end so something else can be born; Aries gives that the shape of an impulse, a first strike of the pickaxe. In an individual chart, this placement points to unusual strength of character, the ability to rebuild from nothing, an anger that can become an engine. It also raises the question of how that strength gets used: to dominate, or to clear the way for others. Keep the logic in mind: Pluto shows where a generation transforms the world, and the sign tells you by what means. In Aries, the means is the courage to act alone.
