Your Pluto in Leo
What Pluto in Leo 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 Leo from about 1939 to 1957. 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 boomers were born into the atomic age and made the individual the measure of everything: celebrity, self-expression, and a refusal to leave the stage.
