Pluto in Leo

Pluto is not in Leo again before 2036.

Pluto is where you transform. Leo does things warmly, proudly, centre stage. While Pluto is in Leo, that part of everyone's life takes on a Leo style. Where you feel it depends on which of your houses Leo falls in, and that is different for everyone.

About Pluto

Pluto is power, depth and the kind of change that doesn't ask permission. Its sign shapes what a whole generation tears down and rebuilds; its house shows where you go through your own big reinventions. Pluto stays in a house for many years and slowly clears out whatever no longer fits there. It's rarely comfortable, and it usually leaves you stronger.

About Leo

Leo is warmth, pride and a big generous heart that likes to be seen. It brings the drama, the loyalty and quite often the snacks. At its best, Leo makes everyone around it feel braver and more special. Watch for needing applause before you'll believe something went well.

How long it lasts

Anywhere from twelve to thirty years in each sign.
