Pluto can be considered the higher octave of Mars. It is named after the god of Hades. it was discovered in 1930 but it had been predicted far earlier.
Pluto represents those elements which have not yet been integrated into t he collective consciousness. Pluto has an eccentric orbit which crosses Neptune's making it sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune. (This last happened from January 1979 through March 1999, with Pluto at perihelion, the point of orbit closest to the Sun, in 1989.) Also, most planets have orbits within 3° of the ecliptic. Mercury's 7° tilt is a bit more while Pluto has the incredibly sharp tilt of 17°. Pluto's unusual orbit shows that it is not yet in tune with the rest of our solar system. This also suggest Pluto might be a recent addition to our solar system or an ex-satellite of Neptune.
The glyph of Pluto, is similar to Neptune's except that it has a small circle rather than the extended central line. However, some astrologers and astronomers use P (insert symbol here) as the symbol for Pluto.
Examination and understanding of the "modern," or trans-Saturnian, planets reveal cyclical changes of long duration,. These create generational changes. Knowing this makes it painfully obvious that one generation feels different influences than did its parent, and again its children will know a different world than that of the generation before it. Each successive generation will have different needs and new modes of expression.
