Pluto in Scorpio

Scorpio is the shortest Pluto stay by our calculation, 1983 or 1984 to 1995, a little over eleven years. The planet reached its closest point to the Sun during this pass, in 1989. Everyone born in the span shares the placement.

Modern astrology usually calls Pluto the ruler of Scorpio, and that claim is what makes this placement look special. No source here states it. Ptolemy gives Scorpio to Mars with the Moon in fall, and the writers of the early twentieth century who do argue about new rulers argue over Uranus and Neptune.

So the idea of Pluto being at home here is a modern reading of a recently found planet. Any portrait of those births as a single intense group belongs to the popular books.
