Pluto's Return and the Rebirth of Individual Freedom

The United States’ first Pluto’s Return has just begun on the auspicious day of 2/22/2022

Whether or not astronomy considers Pluto a dwarf planet or a fully-fledged planet doesn’t affect its classification in astrology. Yes, Pluto in astrology is a planet.

Named after the Roman God of the underworld (also known as Hades in Greek mythology), Pluto is a planet of intensity, destruction, transformation, and rebirth. In a sense, Pluto is like a phoenix — burning down what does not work in order to rise again.

Plutonian energy is very often malefic — bringing forth dramatic and painful experiences in order to shed light on truth and bring us incredibly profound growth. On one hand, Pluto can provide tremendous opportunities for renewal, new beginnings, and spiritual and financial growth. However, the negative aspects of this mighty planet often lead to obsession, victimization, domination, power struggles, tyrannical control, war, and death. Pluto is known as the higher octave of Mars and rules the zodiac sign Scorpio.
