The meaning of Pluto in Gemini
Pluto is the slowest-moving of the planets, taking some twelve to twenty years to cross a single sign. For that reason it reflects less an individual's personality than a deep theme of transformation and rebirth shared by everyone born in the same era. The generation that carried Pluto through Gemini — mutable air — was set within a current that remade words and information, the way people connect, and the very act of knowing, from the roots. Overlapping an age when the telephone, wireless, and new means of travel transformed the world, it was a generation that carried a revolution in communication.
What this placement handed its generation was a deep, searching power to relink the world through language and knowledge. Information began to travel where it had never reached, and the hearts of distant people were joined — standing at the front line of that change, the generation spread, as the mood of its age, the sense that to know is to be set free. A supple ability to absorb many ways of thinking and to build bridges is this generation's gift.
When Pluto's intensity joins the verbal force of Gemini, being caught by information and speech itself can become the growing edge. The power to move people with words may run to excess, or one may be deeply shaken by rumor and assumption. This is less shallowness than a process of learning to handle the primal power words hold.
The key is to aim the force of mind and language not at control or provocation but toward lighting the truth and connecting people. And where this generational theme moves most vividly in a life is shaped, person by person, by the house Pluto occupies and the aspects it makes. Each time you touch a deep truth through words and relink one person to another, the Gemini Pluto tends to shine with the light of a renewal of knowing.
