Pluto Generation in Astrology — What does it mean?
In astrology, Pluto is a slow-moving planet (takes about 248 years to orbit the Sun). It stays in one zodiac sign for 12–30 years, which means millions of people share the same Pluto sign.
That’s why Pluto is called a generational planet—it reflects collective psychology, deep social change, power struggles, and transformation of an entire generation rather than personal traits alone.
Pluto represents:-
Death & rebirth
Hidden power
Trauma & healing
Revolution
Obsession
Deep psychological change
Your Pluto sign = how your generation transforms the world.
Your Pluto house & aspects = how you personally live that transformation.
