Though every planets speed varies in its cycle, Pluto has by far the most dramatic variance. Over the last 1,500 years, Pluto has been speeding up in the sign of Leo and slowing down in Aquarius. Pluto transits half of the zodiac (Leo-Aquarius) in about 100 years, and the other half (Aquarius-Leo) in about 144 years. Both halves together equal one Pluto cycle at 244 years.

The significance of Pluto in a Natal Chart is primarily generational due to Pluto’s grinding pace through the zodiac. Pluto characteristics in the individual are reflected in their entire generation, or those who share the same Pluto sign. No human being will ever experience a complete Pluto cycle, and thus a Pluto return. Legal entities, institutions, and nation states are capable of reaching and passing this significant point, as the US will do in early 2022.
