Pluto in Aries

Between 1822 or 1823 and the early 1850s Pluto spent around thirty years in Aries, a stretch nobody knew about then, since the planet was found only in 1930. The calculator can still place it for those dates because it works the orbit backward. The next stay starts between 2066 and 2068.

Ptolemy's Aries belongs to Mars, exalts the Sun and holds Saturn's fall, facts that concern those older planets only. None of the astrologers gathered here treats Pluto as a planet of the horoscope, so there is no old opinion on this pairing to report.

Modern astrologers read Pluto through intensity and change, and they tend to link it with Aries by stressing raw self-assertion. That is the modern layer speaking. Since about three decades of births share the sign, the idea that it could mark out any person among them has no footing.
