Time in each sign
How long Pluto stays in Leo compared with the other signs

Pluto governs power and transformation — a generational placement. In Leo, that function takes on warmth, presence and the need to be seen doing it — a Fixed Fire expression ruled by the Sun.
Essential dignity
How tradition rates Pluto in Leo
In Leo, Pluto answers to the sign’s traditional ruler, the Sun, and has no modern dignity of its own.
The classical scores do not apply: the table is older than Pluto’s discovery in 1930. Modern astrologers give it Scorpio as home and Taurus as detriment.
When this happened
Pluto in Leo in history
Pluto was in Leo roughly from 1937 to 1958. The window coincided with the Second World War, the dictators' cults of personality, the atomic bomb, and then the post-war baby boom and the explosion of mass entertainment. Leo is associated with power, self-expression and leadership.
In practice
What it looks like in a person
Astrologers describe this generation — which includes most of the baby boomers — as shaped by the power of individual will, for good and ill, and as expecting to be seen and heard. Its members built much of the modern consumer and entertainment economy and often held positions of power for decades.
From the outside
What other people notice first
The generation is often described as confident, ambitious and influential, having shaped much of the culture of the late twentieth century.
Under pressure
When things go badly
Collective strain came from war, the nuclear threat and the pressure of post-war expectations.
Commonly overstated
What Pluto in Leo does not mean
It is shared by a whole generation and does not describe an individual's ego.
