Pluto in Libra

About a dozen years, from 1971 or 1972 to 1983 or 1984, is all this placement covers, one of the briefest in Pluto's circuit. Everyone born inside those years has it.

Libra's old owner in Ptolemy is Venus, with Saturn exalted and the Sun in fall. No source in this set says anything about Pluto, whose astrological use begins after the last of these books. Exaltation tables for Pluto appear only in modern books, and they do not agree with one another.

Contemporary astrologers often describe these births as intent on fairness and on changing the terms of relationships. Because that view comes from modern writers, it cannot borrow the authority of Ptolemy's table. A classroom born in 1978 shares this position entirely and may share almost nothing else in a chart.
