Pluto in Leo

Pluto in Leo describes a generation that turns self-expression, creativity and youth into forces of transformation. In a birth chart, it brings a will to shine, an intense creativity and a powerful relationship with the ego.

In Leo, Pluto puts power in the hands of the individual. The generation carrying this placement grows up with the idea that everyone has the right to express themselves, to shine, to be recognized for who they are. It turns youth into a culture in its own right, reshapes music, cinema and leisure, and claims pleasure as a value. Astrologers also see in it the birth of a culture of celebrity and self, with its share of creative genius and its share of narcissism. Personally, Pluto in Leo gives a powerful will to exist fully. You may have a presence that fills a room, a creativity that needs an outlet or else turns into frustration, a passionate attachment to your children or your work. Transformation comes through the ego: learning that your worth doesn’t depend on being admired, going through moments when your self-image breaks so it can be rebuilt truer. The work left is putting your radiance in the service of something bigger than you, and leaving some light for others.

Pluto last left Leo on 10 June 1958. Dates computed from the ephemerides, Paris time.
