Pluto in ancient Greek religion and mythology, was the ruler of the Greek underworld. More commonly known as Hades. However, Pluto represents a more positive concept of the god who presides over the afterlife, ‘positive’ as in with every decomposing of the old there will be nourishment in the earth for the new.
Pluto is what will CHANGE us, no matter what. It’s destructive, transformative energy. Being reborn. Think of: the Death or Tower card in tarot, the Moldavite crystal. It is also associated with the tale of the Phoenix, where it burns itself and its home to ashes just to rise anew from the embers.
Since Pluto is a generational planet that cycles through each sign every decade or two, it was last in Aquarius 200 years ago and it has cycled through the following zodiac signs since:
Pisces (1812-1823)
Aries (1823-1852)
Taurus (1852-1884)
Gemini (1884-1914)
Cancer (1914-1939)
Leo (1939-1958)
Virgo (1958-1971)
Libra (1971-1983)
Scorpio (1983-1995)
Sagittarius (1995-2008)
Capricorn (2008-2024)
Each zodiac sign has had an effect on Pluto's energy and the historical events that occur during that time. For example, during Pluto's time in Scorpio (1983-1995), there was a focus on transformation and intense emotions, which was reflected in events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the AIDS epidemic. Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio. Scorpio energy also rules over the 8th house, Death, Rebirth, and Sex, are all themes of this house.
Currently, Pluto is in Capricorn (2008-2024), which represents a time of transformation in our societal structures and systems. This can be seen in events such as the economic recession and the rise of social and political movements calling for change.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, the same year that the horoscope sign of Aquarius became associated with the planet Uranus. However, in 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a "dwarf planet," and some astrologers have started associating Aquarius with the new planet Eris instead.
Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius: Uranus is the god of the sky in Greek mythology, and Aquarius is associated with his individuality and innovation.
Uranus represents where we push past limitations. It is associated with enlightenment, progressiveness, breakthroughs, and breakdowns, as the inventor or “mad scientist” of the solar system it embodies our eccentricity and raw genius.
Similarly, Named after the Greek goddess of strife and discord, the ‘new’ planet Eris' indicates how and where in life you express your rebellious side. Certain astrological signs are known to be more anti-establishment than others, as Aquarius is now often associated with it.
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798. During this time, several major historical events took place such as The North American colonies and Great Britain fighting the War of Independence from 1775 to 1783.
