Since Pluto’s discovery there have been tremendous advances in communications, and these might have already have evolved into inter planetary or inter-galactic communications. Mercury is concerned with the gaining of knowledge, communications, spoken and written word and Pluto is viewed as a ‘Higher Octave’ of Mercury. Mercury (Hermes) was supposed to conduct the souls of the departed to Pluto (Hades): There are some similarities between the glyphs of Mercury and Pluto, and this is reflected in their close association:
In the horoscope, the meaning of Pluto is very similar in that it can represent beginnings and endings. In Greek mythology Pluto (Roman: Hades) was known as god of the underworld, capturing the beautiful maiden Persephone, making her live with him in his kingdom for 6 months of the year, before he released her again bringing spring and summer to the earth. I have discussed further detail in the mythology of Pluto in the article on the Three of Cups of the Thoth Tarot. The right glyph is a combination of the letters of Percival Lowell, who formed the beginning of the effort that led to the discovery of Pluto 14 years after his death in 1961. This evolution of the soul is grounded in our daily karmic experiences (cross of matter), but this evolution of the soul comes at a price as the transformation experiences in our life to achieve this can often be traumatic as we have to let go of things we are attached to. The crescent (soul) is upward pointing and receptive to the influence of divine wisdom or spirit (circle). The left glyph shows a circle within a crescent which are above a cross. The glyph used to represent Pluto are shown below: In the progressed chart it is often associated with major change such as marriage, the childbirth/pregnancy, a new career and emigrating to a different country. Pluto’s position in the natal horoscope represents beginnings and endings, especially when aspected with the luminaries (Sun, Moon) or the angles.
Comets, like asteroids, add something new to, or transform established patterns. Pluto could be a comet as it is made up of rock and ice, very unlike the Gas Giants before it (Neptune, Uranus).
It’s orbit lies at an angle of about 17.5° to the ecliptic and is so eccentric that at times it comes nearer to us that Neptune: Time in Each Sign = Pluto spends about 21 years in each sign (varying from 12 to 31 years) due to its orbit characteristics. This article discusses the role of Pluto in Astrology, the last of the Generational Planets, as well as its role in the development of the soul. It is said to be a higher octave of Mercury’s ray of wisdom, and they share a similar style glyph.
