If you’ve ever wondered how to transform your shadows into light, astrology gives us a powerful tool: Pluto in your birth chart.
Pluto is the planet of destruction and rebirth, the phoenix within us. It reveals where in life we’ll experience our greatest shadows- yet also where we can achieve our most profound transformation.
Why Pluto Matters
- Pluto shows the wounds and patterns we inherit from family and generations before us.
- It marks the places where we may feel most self-destructive… but also where we’re meant to rise.
- Transformation is not quick, it’s a lifelong journey, but Pluto shows us the roadmap.
