Pluto in the signs
Pluto in Cancer
Pluto in Cancer (1914–1939) transforms home, family and nation. The cohort lived through the breaking and remaking of both. In a chart it shows where belonging is a matter of survival. The work is to let the family be rebuilt.
In plain words
Pluto stands for your deepest feelings and your power. In Cancer, that works in a Cancer way: caring, protective and easily hurt. You look after your own and remember everything.
