Meaning
Pluto is the planet of underground forces and profound transformation. Ruling over the water sign Scorpio, it symbolizes hidden power, death-rebirth, and access to primal and powerful energies. Master of the third house (19th mansion), Pluto represents what we do not want to see but which is nonetheless essential for our maturity. Within her lies the will to power, anarchy that allows restructuring, and a necessary depositing of masks to reach true authenticity.
In a birth chart, Pluto in Plain or Gemini (6th house) evokes defense mechanisms we put in place to avoid pain and aggression. In Scorpio or Capricorn (8th and 10th houses), it points toward deep transformation processes, laying down weapons, and accessing inner treasures.

In a rising sign of Scorpio, Pluto indicates a personality marked by laying aside masks and accessing ancestral energies. In Pisces, it emphasizes defense mechanisms and evasion against pain and aggression.
When it is master of a house, Pluto points to the area of life where profound transformation takes place. Thus, in the first house, public image recreates itself through mask-laying off. In the second house, relationships are traversed by anarchy and the will for power.
