What it is
Your Pluto in Cancer
What Pluto in Cancer actually means
Pluto moves slowly, so its sign is shared by everyone born across a span of years rather than a personal trait: Pluto was in Cancer from about 1914 to 1939. Pluto is power, death, and transformation; its sign says what each generation is forced to destroy and rebuild. In one chart, the house it sits in and the aspects it makes are where the generational theme becomes personal.
The greatest generation was born into collapse and rebuilt the home and the homeland from nothing, with a security obsession that lasted a lifetime.
